From Vicki S. Mosgrove,
Executive Director,
Finger Lakes SPCA, Inc.
Any help in promoting these horses (mostly Thoroughbreds) for adoption (or placement with reputable equine rescue) would be greatly appreciated. These are the currently available horses that remain from the Troupsburg, NY seizure, which started with eighty starving horses (plus five added later from mares that were already in foal).
It has been a long road (rehabilitation time, court case, two winters, so many horses, the poor economy, etc., etc.). However, incredibly-thanks to many kind and generous people (especially foster providers) and despite all the aforementioned circumstances, we've been successful in finding placement for the vast majority. Still we need to move the rest now that good weather is here and so we can open up room and resources in our care network for other horses with more critical needs (as the SPCA for our County).
Click here to view available horses.
More information about our adoption policies and processes can be accessed at our website. www.fingerlakesspca.org |

With
cold weather here, it is a good time to review the article
on my Helpful Resources page, Feeding
in Cold Weather.
Other
important tips: Please make sure your horse has
enough water. I have found heated buckets to be a life saver.
Make sure buckets are clean. If concerned about food or water
consumption, you can add warm water to their grain to make
a mash. |

Please
vote yes for the "right to ride."
OK
trail advocates-- here's your opportunity to show support
for the new bill that will go through the Senate and will
replace the Right to Ride.
Just
click on the web site:
http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2283.html#toc3
When
it comes up, the voting box will be
on the right of your screen. Let's keep that up to
99 %!
If
you don’t know about this, it is to vote YES to preserve
our right to ride, pack, etc., on public government lands,
like the National Forest or a State Park. So many groups,
bike clubs, hiking clubs, once they start using something,
they don’t want our horses on it, just them. This will
stop that from happening.
SO
VOTE... DO IT NOW - NOT LATER. IF YOU
ARE LIKE ME, YOU WILL FORGET. IT ONLY TAKES A SECOND. AND
WHILE YOU ARE AT IT, CALL OR EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TOO!
IT IS ALL RIGHT THERE. I DID IT AND IT TOOK LESS THAN 3 MINUTES. IT’S
EASY. |
