Horse rescue

So far this week we have planted trees, groomed our gorgeous ponies, picked up 150 bales of balage, found great homes for two more cats (sorry 'Splash' has been homed) and we have a new kitten from the SPCA. She's very cute, her name is Betsey, black and white, about 8 weeks old and has a head tilt. I will take photos tomorrow and post them on the adoption page on the HUHA website.
But wait there's more, it gets better, i haven't told you what we did today. We rescued a horse! This was my first horse rescue and i am very pleased to say it went well, very well in fact. So this poor horse fell into a creek, her leg was stuck in a tree root and she was lying in the freezing cold water. It was a heroic effort from South Wairarapa vets and of course HUHA. We managed to cut the tree root and get her leg out. Then, with the help of a tractor, we helped her stand and she walked out. What an incredible horse! It looks as though she will make a full recovery. Yay!!! It was very obvious it was not Carolyn's first horse rescue, she was on fire, knew just what to do.
Finally, one of our wonderful supporters from Auckland had a fundraiser for us last Sunday. And wow what a success it was. They raised a whooping $750 PLUS they are still doing an Easter raffle. We are so grateful, they have put so much work and time in to achieving this, it is huge for us.
