Previous Events
Rose Edwards, the leader of the group is a very
special lady. She brought with her a group of
wonderful children and several of the children's
parents. Everyone in the group had a chance to
spend time with all of the dogs, puppies and horses
at the rescue. The children took turns leading two
of the horses, Chuck & Fever. 
The seminar April 20, 2008 that was given at our
rescue facility for the Horse Lovers 4-H Club was a
wonderful event.
They also brought
several donations from various vendors in
the Nebraska area. We also received
monetary donations from several individuals that
came for the seminar. We would like to thank the
following vendors for the in-kind donations that
were sent along with the Horse Lovers 4H Club to be
donated to our rescue. Tractor Supply Company,
Northwest Feed & Grain, Lucky D Tack & Farrier
Supply and Starborn Farms. We all had a wonderful
time during this event. The children were a very
well behaved and we welcome them all back
anytime! Here are some pictures of the event.

We want to thank everyone who stopped by to
visit with us at the Nebraska Horse Expo March 7th
8th & 9th 2008. We
made a lot of contacts, met many wonderful people and had several
individuals and family’s offer to volunteer at our rescue facility.
Victoria Louise, one of our rescued St. Bernard’s came with us all
three days to help greet people. We also brought Sophia Lynn
Sunday to help us greet people. This was the first time Sophia
Lynn has been to an event and she did very well.
Both
St. Bernard’s got a lot of love & hugs from many animal lovers. We
passed out material regarding our mission at our rescue facility. We
had several people offer to become safe houses for both horses and
large breed dogs which was
very nice.
We
would like to thank everyone for the donations we received at the
Expo. We
received over $900.00
in our jar that we had set up to benefit our horse & large breed dog
rescue. All
donations received will be used for the care of our rescued horses &
large breed dogs care.
And finally we would like to thank everyone with the Nebraska Horse Council for the kind words of encouragement for the work we do for the horses across Iowa, Nebraska and the bordering states.

We have been lucky enough to have several students from Abraham
Lincoln High School donate their time selling raffle tickets
for our rescue. The prize is a Trajet Tub which was donated to the
students to try and raise money for Walter's Medical bills (Walter
is one of our rescued Percheron horses). Abraham Lincoln High
School has also given their ok to allow the students to do whatever
fund raisers they can think of to help us at our rescue. We have
been told the students have some other fund raising ideas in the
works. So watch our events calendar for more events by the
students at Abraham Lincoln High School!
We
would like to thank the Missouri River Misfits for the Funday
Event (Horse Show) that took place Saturday November 3, 2007 to
raise funds for our rescue facility.
The
event was a lot of fun and we also raised some much needed money
that will be used for our rescued horses & large breed dogs
care. We would like to also send a special thank you to Tim
Smith who owns Copper Horse Ranch in Pacific Junction, IA for
allowing us to have the event at his wonderful facility.
There was a
very special little girl at the event that kept a smile on our
face the whole time.
She
was fearless and she rode like a professional. We would like to
share some of the pictures of the event and one
video.
On
Sunday, August 12, 2007 for Abbey, the little Dachshund that
lost use of her back legs, we presented "Abbey" with her new
cart to help her walk on her own again.
She took
off walking as soon as we put her in the cart. She
even went backwards and turned around. We were very happy
that we could do this for "Abbey" and her Mom (Owner),
Kitty. All donations for the cart were received by Glenwood &
Malvern, IA dog lovers. Thank you Glenwood & Malvern, IA
for helping "Abbey" get her wheels!
