We are having a special New York Chey/Annie Project Fundraiser! Two beautiful bracelets were donated to the NY Chey/Annie Project by Horsefly Creations. These bracelets were designed by a 12 year old girl who wants to help the horses in her state.
Photos of the bracelets can be seen in my photo album.
The darker bracelet sold for $25 to Nancy R. of NY!
The second bracelet is selling on ebay (see link below or search for horsehair bracelet). The auction ends on Sep-04-08 17:17:58 PDT.
The bead is a beautiful blue bead approximately 1/4 of an inch in size with a sterling sliver open heart attached at the bottom. The bead istself is just gorgeous! The hair that it is made from is a lighter brown, almost a dark flaxen color. It is just shy of 8 inches from clasp to clasp. This is a beautiful bracelet and would make the wearer proud.
The auction on ebay can be found at http:// cgi. ebay. com/ws/ eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&ssPageName =STRK:MESELX:IT&item =220273521895 (remove spaces)
Remember: 100% of the funds raised will be added to the New York Chey/Annie Project! The funds are raised to purchase a Wiggins sling for the rescues in the state of New York.
Horsefly Creations is run by a mother daughter team from Fishs Eddy, NY. They create custom horsehair bracelets as well. If you would like more information on them and the bracelets that they create, you can email them at brockstables@yahoo.com (brockstables @ yahoo.com).
Thanks,
Brandi
P.S.: I have my very own special made bracelet from Horsefly Creations that I wear constantly!

The song "Who You'd Be Today" by Kenny Chesney plays on this myspace page in honor of my sister-in-law, Angie. She was an inspiration to all that knew her.
I miss you, Angie!!

These horses were all saved from slaughter by a rescue or a concerned individual. Do they look like they are neglected, old, or dangerous?
People commonly believe that the horses that go to slaughter are old, neglected, or dangerous. The fact of the matter is that the buyers (commonly known as kill buyers by rescuers)do not want old and sick. They want young horses with plenty of meat on them. It is a waste of time for them to take something old and skinny with very little meat. Of the top breeds that are slaughtered are quarter horses, paints, and Thoroughbreds. Any horse is at risk for slaughter though! Even mules, donkeys, minis and babies are loaded on the slaughter trucks to fill that last little space.

Want to learn more about me and what Missy's Hope Equine Rescue Resource is all about?
Educating owners and potential horse owners is one way to help horses. Even people who have spent their lives around horses learn things every day. I for one learned a lesson that I will never forget. I would like to share that lesson with you in the form of a slide show. This slide show highlights a danger that most horse owners don't think about...T-Posts. This is my mare Misty and what a T-Post did to her when she spooked and caught herself on one.
Heroes
The everyday people who make a difference in a persons life.
The Equine Rescuers who spend their money, time, and patience rehabilitating abused, neglected, and nearly slaughtered horses!
Want to know how you can help the horses and rescues?
Please see my blog for the nightly edition of Horses in need and equine events. This is a list of horses in need, horses for sale, rescues in need, equine events, and much, much more. You can also see my website where the list is republished each day and broken down into sections. Thanks!
The Chey/Annie Project's mission is to place an emergency sling that is designed for horses in every state. The sling will be housed at a specific rescue in each state to be shared amongst all the rescues in that state as the need arises. The slings will be provided FREE of charge in the time of need.
No horse should have to be put to sleep because they need a sling to assist them until they can gain weight.
No horse should have to suffer from a sling designed for a cow.
Once we have placed slings in each state, we will work to put slings in every rescue! This way, rescuers and the horses they are trying to help will have immediate access to this life saving device.
This is the sling we are going to purchase with the funds from the Chey/Annie Project. It is manufactured by Wiggins Inc. Their website is www.wigginsinc.com (www. wigginsinc.com (remove spaces)) . The sling is called the Adult Horse Sling. It is found under the tab for slings and hoists.
So how can you help with the Chey/Annie Project? Please go to our website at
You will find information on where to donate for your state (there are chip in pages for every state!), where to donate for the general fund, more information on the Chey/Annie project and the horses that it is named for, a flyer that you can download, and links to the current donation totals and the accounting page. Please be aware that there will always be a public accounting of the funds and it is updated every month (around the 18th of each month).
Please copy the flyer and post it at your local feed stores, tack stores, and vet offices. Or anywhere you are allowed to post flyers (gas stations, arenas, stables, etc.)
Then spread the word. Share the flyer or the website with everyone you know. Ask them to share it with their friends. Send it to all the people in your email accounts. You never know where someone will see it and want to help. Working together, I know that we can make a huge impact on neglected and injured horses.
Remember, if each person that reads this donates one dollar, we will have all the slings purchased in no time!
Are you a rescue and would like a widget to put on your website to help raise donations for the sling for your state? Email me and I will get the code to you! Or, would you be willing to house the sling at your rescue until an emergency comes up? Send me an email and we can work it out!

I finally have pictures and information on the knit flower fundraiser we are doing for the Chey/Annie Project on the website.
Here is a copy of the info. :o)
Knit Flower Fundraiser:
We are doing a knit flower fundraiser for the Chey/Annie Project. Each flower is approximately 2 inches x 2 inches in size. Each flower also has a lock of Cheyenne's hair in the center with a small heart bead at it's center. Right now the flowers come in white, yellow, pink, light blue, and light purple.
We can also custom make flowers for you out of locks of your horse's hair. (For lighter colored horse hair we can make black flowers.) If you are interested in choosing a color of yarn for your horse's flower, please let me know what color and I can see what I can do to get that color for you.
The flowers will cost $5 plus shipping (I will figure out what the shipping is soon...I need to run to the post office.)
All the people who rescue horses throughout the United States.
The members of Congress to try to convince them to support the ban on slaughter and to get them to pass laws to help prevent cruelty to animals.
This is a slide show of a body condition scale. This is what animal rescuers look for when they look at a horse when they evaluate a possible neglect situation.
Rescuers also evaluate the available feed, shelter, and clean water sources. They will work with the owners if at all possible to help the horses. If you see horses in body conditions of 0, 1, or 2. Document everything you see and take pictures if you can. Talk to the owners and find out about them (they could have recently rescued the horse from a neglect situation). Be polite! Document your conversation with the owner after you leave, do it as soon as possible so your conversation is fresh in your mind. If you believe that the horses were not recently rescued and are in danger, please contact the rescue nearest you. If there is not an equine rescue near you, please contact your local ASPCA or Animal Control Officer. If you are uncomfortable about getting involved, email me with the details (name of owner, exact location, pictures if possible, and any other details that you feel are important), I will be happy to locate the nearest rescue to the location of the horses and help get the correct people involved.
