And Saturday is supposed to be a beautiful day. I'm not much help with a broken arm, but I could hang out at the booth for a few hours. I can't really set anything up, but I can still talk  |

I set up the SAFE table and stayed at the Just Horsin' Around Benefit Show today until 1:30. Half their take is going to SAFE, BTW!!
It was great to see those 4H girls & guys out there pouring their hearts into poles, flags & barrels this morning. I didn't stay for the afternoon events because I had actual WORK today in Fife, which made for a big commute to Granite Falls but it was worth it!! Those kids (and adults!) get out there with lightening speed and kept me in awe most of the morning.
The response to SAFE and our horses was really great and the kids asked some really great questions. I see that the public awareness and education is still a vital mission for us. I had a few folks (yes, even horse folks) who didn't know what a "feedlot" was and it's obvious that there are horse people out there who take care of their horses and are not aware that there are some people who just don't keep up with feeding, vetting & safety. Not everyone out there today was unaware, in fact I am PLEASED to see that it was the kids of this 4H group who chose to help neglected horses ;D There's hope out there....maybe someday we'll reach everyone with the message that Horses need to be properly cared for and we must look out for all horses, not just our own!
I'm so happy we/I got the opportunity to get out there and meet the Just Horsin' Around 4H kids & their supporters!!
You 4H'ers ROCK.....THANK YOU!!!!!

We received a check from the Just Horsin' Around 4-H club for $369.41 -- the money they raised for SAFE during their Benefit show on April 18. The check was accompanied by a nice card signed by the members of the 4H club.
We are very grateful to Just Horsin' Around for their support of SAFE!
