Three Pines Farm

First off, I want to give out a huge THANK YOU!! to Tony, Kathryn, and the rest of IHR.  I'm sure they are beginning to dread hearing our truck pull up in the dark; this weekend alone we brought in 7 horses (although only 5 went to IHR Southwest; we kept Major and Angie kept another).  8 horses, if you include the sweet black Arab (Molly) that we took down there to make room for our new guy.  So thank you thank you thank you, guys; these horses owe you their lives.

So now, meet 'Major'.  Major was one of 5 who were signed over by their owner on Saturday.  "Mage" is one hungry guy!  We've started working him up on groceries and have started treatment for his rainrot and parasites; I don't think it'll take this boy long to pack the pounds back on.  And when he does, look out!  He's going to be gorgeous!  Major is very sweet; handles well (although he gets highly irritated when you take him away from his chow, lol), and is said to be broke.  Keep an eye out for updates on this fellows progress as we go along!  More story after the pics:

If any of you are local, I have a huge favor to ask...if you have a trailer, please contact us about signing up for emergency transport.  We as yet do not have a working trailer of our own (we have a trailer but the floor is out, and when we spend every available free moment helping horses out of bad situations, that doesn't leave any time to fix it) and we need help desperately.  In the last two weeks alone, we've brought in about a dozen horses to IHR Southwest.  I don't mind paying all the gas money to do this, but having to call around and beg for a trailer is getting old!  If you could haul a couple or wouldn't mind letting us use your trailer when you're not using it, please contact us to sign up.  Sometimes that extra day that I don't have to spend hunting down a trailer can mean life or death for some of these horses.  Or if you have a trailer you might be selling, keep in mind that donations are tax-deductible for you!  :) 

Keep an eye out for more on this beautiful boy.  Have a great day!
