For every single one of you that donated funds to feed these horses, help pay for the veterinarians, etc. – Thank you.
For everyone that came to the Shelter to help feed, water, muck stalls, help socialize horses, – Thank you.
For every one of you that had a vested interest in these horses from day-one forward - the Humane Society would like to acknowledge you, honor you, and thank you!
Last but certainly not least, I must add our staff at the shelter that worked with the horses every single day in some capacity, giving love and attention.
