Summer 2005 SUMMER 2005
Summer's here and with it comes the heat and bugs, so here are some ideas to keep your horse happy and healthy.

Always have plenty of fresh, cool water available, as horses go from 10-25 gallons a day in this heat! (one Mom freezes bowls of water to keep her buckets of water colder, longer). Make sure your horse has shade or a shed to get out of the sun and bugs during the hottest part of the day.

For the larger breed horses, try hosing them down during the day to make them comfortable. Cushings horses and ponies need to be kept cool, just by shaving their long fur off for the summer months. For your sensitive breeds (like Thoroughbred's) a fly sheet from dawn to dusk keeps them from going crazy.

The safety, health and happiness of these majestic, regal and noble creatures remains our undying commitment, and continues to rest in your giving hands.

On behalf of the founder, board of directors, members, sponsors, adopters, philanthropists, equine community, volunteers, friends and extended family of H.O.R.S.E. of CT, I am proud to announce our new mission statement ...

You are forever responsible for what you have tamed.

Summer 2004 SUMMER 2004
Being our first newsletter in four years, we are really excited to show you all the latest news at our rescue facility. In the first six months alone of 2004, we've brought in 10 new horses and adopted out 11, including our oldest rehab "M&M" ~ our hot little Hackney pony.

Twenty-three years ago when I found 2 starving race horses, I had never seen walking skeletons before. I purchased them for $1 and walked them three miles back to the 11-acre field/barn setup where I kept two of my own horses. I didn't know at the time I was saving horses. Several days later, I had a visit from an officer from the Connecticut Humane Society on an animal abuse complaint ~ against me. I went to work with them, and HORSE of CT began.
