Just a little more needed...

Happy Friday from Glenville, PA! JUST a little more is needed to reach our hay drive goal! ONLY $860 still needed to purchase our hay for this year. Can you help? Our annual hay fundraiser is entering it's final days & so far we've raised $5260 (88% of the way to our goal)!! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far (we've emailed or are emailing a personal thank you note to all donors) we appreciate everyone's help very much! Please take a moment and donate if you can...EVERY donation helps us towards our goal!  Hay can literally mean the difference between life and death for a horse. Starving horses need it to begin their recovery after rescue, healthy horses need it to maintain good health and even older horses who may get senior feed need hay too. NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL TO HELP!        How Important Is It, Really? Your donation of as little as $10 can help us get the hay we need for the season, helping us to make the life of a once slaughter bound, neglected or abused horse just a little bit brighter. The folks at Chipin closed down shop...but you can still use PayPal.com and enter our email addy - angelacreshorsehaven@yahoo.com. Also...if you have extra hay from last season and would like to donate it to our gang, please email me and we can arrange to have it picked up quickly! Thank you for taking the time to read this email and please share with others and help us get the word out about our hay drive! Have a super happy week ahead,, Jo Deibel :o) Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc. PO Box 62, Glenville, PA 17329

"Thanks to the generous grant provided by the ASPCA, Angel Acres was able to continue to assist horses and their families in need around the nation via Mattie’s Legacy Fund.  Specifically, the grant allowed us to assist an additional 46 horses, allowing them to remain safe in their homes while their families regained financial stability and balance due to these tough economic times. Truly, we cannot thank the ASPCA enough for providing us with the means to assist these horse families in need,” commented Jo Deibel, Founder and President of Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue.

Help Angel Acres Get Up In Oklahoma!

Help us get to Oklahoma! You may have heard that some of the powers that be in Oklahoma have decided that horse slaughter should come to their state. You may not often think of horse slaughter & the illegal horse meat trade... horse meat is now being found in products (like meatballs) that are marked as "beef" in European countries. Can you help us get this billboard up? It will be in a high traffic location, right smack in the middle of Oklahoma City, OK. Can you help us with adonation to this board? ANY size donation helps! Did you know that horses are being shipped across US borders into Mexico and Canada to be brutally slaughtered for human consumption?We MUST continue to raise awareness among the non horse savvy public about what is being done to our horses for the almighty dollar. We are not funded by anyone other than you, our readers and supporters. This is TOTALLY a grass roots, by our boot straps effort! People cannot fix a problem they are not aware of & many people in the United States do not know thousands of horses are shipped to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered – DAILY. The Angel Acres Anti Horse Slaughter Awareness Campaign is a grassroots effort designed to change that, one driver and one billboard at a time. Visit the companion non graphic website Stop Slaughtering Ustoday. We receive no federal, state or corporate funding for this awareness and educational effort. PLEASE help us raise the funds needed to get this board up. You can click HERE to donate securely online to the campaign - Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, is a 501c3 nonprofit organization & all donations are tax deductible. Please be sure to note Jupiter Billboard in designation box or you may help us by sending a donation to: Angel Acres  PO Box 62 Glenville, PA 17329 Please be sure to designate Oklahoma Billboard on your donation. We don't like asking for help, but we are up against a very well funded pro horse slaughter lobby that would LOVE to see us fail...that means - we simply CANNOT fail. We must continue to raise awareness, one state at a time! Have a great week ahead and THANK YOU for helping us spread the word, Jo Deibel :o) Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc.

Happy Adopted Horse Update!

Happy Update from Pitt's new mom, Cathy! The "House" reference is an inside joke for our readers and followers...it refers to a RIDICULOUS email we received about Pitt which said..."can this house be raced"

Ridiculous because 1) he was emailing a rescue and 2) he called Pitt a house.

Anyhoo...Cathy saw that post about Pitt and sent us this poem about Pitt and the pics below it.


  "A House and two Horses nestled into their stalls.
 Impatiently awaiting hay, grain and cookies for all
 Said the House to the Horses
 As they awaited their courses

 What a long journey it has been.
 My racing career is at an end
 And thanks to my friends (especially Jo)
 It's the good life now, easy and slow!"

    Said the Horses to the House "We're so happy you're here!

 Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year!"

Commitment - a 4 letter word?!

A Facebook post from one of our adopters (reprinted with her permission) about commitment to one's horses.

This post speaks volumes without my input at all...Thanks Jessica for posting this!

(Breakdown of the above post is below)

"Hmmmm!!! Where to start!!! So I had this " customer " come in the store an we got on the topic of horses! He says how many do you have?!? I said 9 with 2 on the way! He says OMG why do you have so many?!?

 I said well its kinda the geriatric ward there's a couple with a hoof or two in the grave!!! He said well why don't you get rid of them, if you can't do anything with them!!! Hmmmm!!!! 

So I said yeah I might as well, while I'm at it I might as well get rid of my mom too, she retired this year an got a bum leg! she really is more of a cost an burden now then being productive!!! 

The look on his face "priceless" the silence that filled the air, even more "priceless"!!!! No just cause I can't ride a couple of them that gave me years of there lives for my satisfaction!!! 

I'm not just going to " get rid" of them!!! It's my pay check not yours, go buy you another case of beer and pack of smokes an ill go buy another bag of feed an bale of hay!!!!!"
