SPCA rescue - Available for adoption

Tippy arrived at Forever Green Stables from the SPCA in Jan 2010.

(Above photos taken the day she arrived.)

She was so emaciated that she collapsed and had to be lifted to her feed with a sling hoist. She is up, eating, putting on weight and looking for a forever home.

These pictures were taken at the end of February. As you can see, Tippy has gained quite a bit of weight, but still needs to add a couple hundred more. She's a nice mare, sweet tempered and calm, and likes people and attention.

Not registered, but probably a Standardbred, mare, Tippy stands almost 16hh. She is a bay, with 2 white socks in back.

Tippy probably drives, but isn't in good enough shape to do any work for a while.

The SPCA adoption fee is $500, and a donation to the foster farm, Forever Green Stables, would be appreciated (to pay for part of the costs of fostering her). If you are interested in adopting Tippy, please email Christine at fgs@csur.ca.

Adopting a rescue means that more can be saved.

Progress!

We have our building permit, and some parts for our new CoverAll barn arrived yesterday!

Work starts on Monday with site preparation (lots of pit run fill, crushed stone, and stone dust). The posts will be set then, and we'll start seeing changes in the yard.

YAY!!

We plan to hold an "Open Barn" on Saturday, July 17th, to thank all of our supporters for their generous donations. Watch for more details - there will be music, food, and door prizes, and perhaps a silent auction.

Thank you very much to all of you. Without your support, we wouldn't be this far along.

Stay tuned for regular progress updates (and pictures)!

We're excited!
