How Things Get Done...

On March 17th, the call for volunteer action went out via e-mail. We needed to get the Mad River pasture fixed up for the girls ASAP. And, because HRHR volunteers are awesome, that call was answered with speed and vigor! The pasture was fixed up- fences mended, weeds whacked, and water restored- the very next Saturday. The mares were brought back to their more spacious digs, and they were very happy about it!









Advisory board member Lisa Bethune sent this thank you note to the volunteers that participated that day.

"We had a WONDERFUL group of volunteers show up for yesterday’s work ‘party’ at the pasture!! It turns out there was a lot of work to do, and it would have been overwhelming if there had only been 2-3 of us. But many hands do make light work (or at least ‘lighter’ work….I did see some sweating going on)!!!

Please send out a THANK YOU to…

Norm for his hard work with his chain saw, battling it out with the briars

Reuben for attacking the briars and helping wherever needed

Paul and Robert for running the steel-bladed weed eater furiously and with finesse ( it cuts ‘like butter’, they said)

Marie and Robert and Carey….for walking the whole fence line, picking up wire waste and making repairs where needed

Mary…for being so dedicated that she even rented a weed eater so she could ‘bust’ some weeds with us (and she’s a pretty good plumber too)

Carey and Reuben…for digging out the water troughs and making them sparkle

Marie….for bringing Paul!

THANKS SO MUCH, you guys!! We really appreciate your hard work and can-do attitude!! It was fun working with you!

I’m sure by now we have three very happy horses happily grazing grass and sighing contentedly thanks to you!!"
