“What lies in our
path is nothing to fear…for the power within us
is far greater than any obstacle.”
Thank you
Once again we want to thank all
of you who support us here at RCAR. Your
thoughts, prayers and donations (no matter how
small or large) give us the strength to keep
going and to continue our efforts to lend a
loving hand to critters in dire need! We would
not be a success without YOU!!

Summer is here!
Yes it is! With the enjoyable summer
vacations, beach trips and family outings….please remember
that it is also
HAY SEASON! We are already thinking ahead to next
winter and getting prepared to take care of all of our
special equines here at Rugby Creek!
Last year’s drought and the ever rising fuel
and fertilizer costs, hay is constantly increasing in demand
and value. We have a local farmer who has graciously said
he will set aside 20-30 round rolls of orchard grass hay and
store it for us so we may use it as we need it this winter.
The rolls are $35/each. We NEED YOUR HELP to make sure we
secure this hay for our rescues this winter. Please
donate (remember it is tax-deductible)! Current total
needed for rolled hay is $700-1050…please help us reach our
goal!
Meet “DD” and her Pups!

Pregnant and abandoned
DD and her young daughter Ditto were tossed out
on the side of the road to fend for themselves…and
that’s exactly what they did until Rugby Creek found
them!
Please go to our website to read about the amazing rescue of Ditto, DD
and her
6 puppies!
Ditto has already found a home but
DD and her puppies are searching forever homes!
Please inquire about adopting! |
“Cheyenne” – Fundraiser for RCAR

Are you searching for your next
trail horse, show mount, best friend or “husband
horse”? Do you want to help support our rescue?
Issue Solved!
Cheyenne is a 12 y/o APHA Bay Overo mare,
standing 15.3 hh. She is very quiet, laid back,
easy going, excellent on trails, crosses water, good
with traffic, great manners, etc.
The proceeds from Cheyenne’s sale
will benefit RCAR directly and help support the
rescues here at the farm! |

Doc & Bandit ~ Heading to Canada!
That’s
right. These great geldings were loaded up this weekend in
their roomy box stalls with Carisbrooke Equine Transport and
heading to Alberta Canada. Their new adoptive mom, Jolene,
is anxiously awaiting their arrival! Thank you for offering
them a home!
Bendi Needs Your Help Once Again!
|
|
Once again,
Bendi needs you to reach out and help her! She
needs another (hopefully final) small surgery for
her RV Tear. We need to raise funds to schedule the
procedure at DCLAH with Dr. Meeker. Cost is approx
$500.00 Please donate to her cause, this extremely
special mare deserves a chance at living!
We must find a sponsor or
sponsors for Bendi’s care by September 2008! Our
rescue has cared for Bendi since fall of 2006 and is
having major difficulty continuing with her care
financially! A Donation of $150 will cover Bendi’s
care for 1 month. We need regular monthly sponsors
for her…even if you pledge to send $25 a month we
can build on that and in a group effort we can all
save and support Bendi together!
