'We' are still here :-)
February 28, 2013
Yesterday I received a very unexpected donation from The Netherlands for On Horses for Horses to give to World Horse Welfare and it really made my day. Our total raised for this great charity in two years now stands at £3746 and that is more than any one of us could donate alone. That is the idea and beauty of On Horses For Horses (If I say so myself).
This donation also was a wee kick up the bum I needed. As my beloved 'uncle dad' very sadly died last November I have not been as much of a driving force behind On Horses for Horses as I want to be and also my ozone blanket project slowed down a bit. Partly due to my circumstances and partly because people are reluctant to back an alternative medical treatment which I understand and respect. I have recently placed an order for On Horses for Horses pens and am selling them at £3.50 plus postage so I can donate the difference (£1.22 per pen) to this blanket project. This should give me an extra £30.50 to donate, making my modest contribution just over £50. I think getting enough money together may take a while but I am stubborn and will go on until I can help Highveld Horse Care Unit and their horses.
Of course this does not in any way, shape or form replace my support for World Horse Welfare. As long as they keep doing what they are doing I will keep supporting them.
I think (hope) that the current horse meat scandal has put a spotlight on the situation that horses to slaughter find themselves in. I know some people have asked me what the problem was and I highlighted the transport situation .. the DIRE transport situation... and have pointed people in the direction of the campaign World Horse Welfare has been fighting for about 85 years. Just in case you are not aware: please read this and if you care do speak up and sign the petition attached http://www.worldhorsewelfare.org/help-tomorrow/horsemeatscandal
Now I know it is only February (just) but here a reminder that our quest to Ride Around The World And Raise Money for World Horse Welfare does continue in September this year :-) I think I may still be in the UK for that time but wherever I live in I know I will be adding some miles and cash to this cause. I hope you will join us... again.
Feel free to leave comments here - I think I have added the possibility to be interactive here :-)
