Summer 2008 News

We hope that everyone is enjoying there summer. With the recent flooding in Southern Wisconsin, and throughout Iowa, and not to mention the severe weather around the rest of the country, our thoughts and prayers are with everyone and there families.

Due to the declining horse market, HHERR has turned down 58 horses in the last 2 months, and that number continues to climb everyday. We recently added guidelines for families wishing to donate their horse, as we just can not take them all in. It tears us all apart when we have to turn away a horse, but we just can not take them all in. Times are definitely tough in today’s economy, and it does not look to be getting better anytime soon.

One of HHERR’s current adopters mentioned a great fundraising idea for designing a calendar. There are many other places that also do this, so it is not a new idea. They mentioned adding adopted horses, and horses that have been granted full ownership to the calendar. This would be a team effort, as we would need an excellent photographer, and also a place to publish and make the calendars. Please submit any inquires to this project to hhrehab@yahoo.com with attention Amber – Calendar in the Subject line.

HHERR will also be making new flyers. We will need people to help distribute them in the tri-state area. If you would like to help, please let us know and we will mail you the flyers to put up in local businesses around your area. We appreciate any help we can get for this and for the horses in general.

Thank you for everyone’s continued support in these trying times our country is having. More and more horses need homes, as the cost of fuel, hay, and feed keep going up. We continue to do what we can to help the horses that come in, but we would not be able to do it without supporters such as you.

Thank You from the HHERR Team!!!!
