News

The Sun Journal's "Feed our furry friends campaign" was a great success. Thank you Sun Journal for adding us to your list of needy furry friends. We were given many halters and lead ropes from Partrade Trading Co, LLC in Kinston, NC. They are a wholesaler for many products relating to horses. We can not thank them and Suzanne Harrel (Vice President) enough for their donation. Take a look at their website www.partrade.net

Also we had a wonderful donation from Cindy Lohr. The donation was in the name of Equine Express and Vivian, John and Yoni. They were there to help her with her horse in a time of need. Thanks you very much.

We were given also two bag of grain, fly masks, feed scoops, and training halters with leads. Some of these items will help our horses as the fly season starts and with training, so the horses can be adopted out.

Thanks you everyone for given to USERL horses.

The Yard Sale on April 19th was a great success. Thanks to everyone.   We earned over $500.00 to help pay off vet bills for our horses. We thank Selah Stables for the mini cart rides and Greenville Tractor Supply for the tent and the round pen for two of our rescue horses (JC and Dodge). They were great ambassadors for the rescue league.

Pamilco County Saddle Club donated $200 dollars worth of wormers for our fosters. We appreciate their generosity.

The State had donated vaccines for our foster horses.

Edna McClung has donated a handmade queen size quilt (she made it) and a throw blanket with a horse head (4x5 ft) to be raffled. Edna also made the throw blanket. The quilt will be first prize and the throw blanket is second prize. Chances will be a $1 per ticket or 6 tickets for $5. The quilt and throw blanket will be displayed at the yard sale and the Benefit Horse Show. The drawing will be held at the July meeting. Just look at these!!! Wouldn't you like to have one of these in your home? To buy tickets: go to the yard sale(April 19) or Fun Horse Show(May 24) or contact Ruby Scheer (Region Coordinater) by email.

Sex	Mare	Fees	TBA

She is a bright joyful spirit with a zest for life and living. She enjoys the company of humans and other horses - barn and buddy sourness can be a problem. Overall she is easy to handle and care for - excellent for the farrier, easy to worm, easy to catch-comes when called, trailers well, loves grooming and being fed.
She has arthritis and her eyesight is impaired especially at night and in the shadows. She is up to date on all shots. The vet suggested she wear a mask most of the time.
As long as she has company Amelia is happy in the pasture or her stall. Due to her pink skin daytime turnout puts her at risk of burning. However any night turnout must allow for her impaired eyesight.. She will now stand still for mounting and dismounting. she has "allot of whoa". She could learn to enjoy interacting with a rider with time
