Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary
The publishers of the local phone book were so moved by the stories of the horses and dogs of Proud Spirit that they wanted to help. They approached Jim and Melanie about featuring Proud Spirit (and Melanie's book) on the cover. They added a full page story of Proud Spirit with pictures. It turned out just GREAT!
Here's Jim on camera! Speaking to the crew from RFD-TV when they were here filming a segment about Proud Spirit. The show is called "Trails and Tales" and our little part is supposed to air next month... I don't have any other details, but we'll let you know day and time if they contact us beforehand. FUN!
RESCUE
At the Thoroughbred Breeding Farm Gone-Wrong!
Proud Spirit was recently called in to help with a tragic and heartbreaking situation at a Thoroughbred
breeding farm where 24 horses were not being fed. A stallion, mares in foal, weanlings, yearlings, and
adult geldings and mares. Some were literally near death; many had halters digging into their faces causing
painful sores. An organization called "Stop Animal Cruelty" was conducting this rescue, but their primary
focus is dogs and cats, which is why we were asked to help. Numerous trips to the farm to haul horses to
new homes, several hundred dollars of our own money, hay from our own supply...resulted in a hugely
successful mission. All the horses have been removed from this horse-hell, and they all have been placed
in loving new homes.
