This from an email we received this weekend:


"Greetings Everyone!

IT'S A FLAKE SALE!!

You've heard of a bake sale, well, we're having a flake sale! 

You can be a hero for just $10.00!!

We're trying to fill up a hay truck for SOS Equines. You can learn more about them at www.sosequines.com . SOS pulls slaughter bound horses from a feed lot near Kennewick, WA. They feed them, clean them up, and find homes for them. They do a great job. The reasons why we chose SOS this year are their excellent reputation, their financial transparency (no funny business like some rescues we hear about), and their fiscal responsibility.

Tom and Holly Clark, of Clark Farm in Sequim, have donated the first 20 bales! Let's fill up the truck - our goal is 100 bales and we're getting close. 

Please go to the website www.nwhoofcare.com and click on the Fundraiser tab for the whole story and the most updated information on how close we are to our goal. There is also a list of other ways that you can help.

Every little bit makes a difference - please forward this to anyone you can think of that might be able to assist us or SOS Equines.

The single best thing about this "job" is the wonderful community that I work for - all of you. Let's pull together and fill this truck up!

Cheers, Ali McMahon

    Oh, thank you thank you for posting my fundraiser! We're getting there, slowly but surely.

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit. FB http://www.besthorsestuff.com/ShowAd/index.php?id=4deed0d102f85 For Sale: 18 inch Schleese Jes Elite dressage saddle with Flair Air panels.  This saddle is in exceptionally good, like-new condition with the exception of needing repairs to the front left air bag.  Our Schleese saddle fitter (at the May 28, 2011 fitting) quoted the repair cost at $75-$150. The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
