Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue Glenville, PA Angel Acres Halloween Updates Greetings! It's been a busy month for the Angel Acres volunteers! Mattie's Legacy Fund continues to assist horse owners in need of help due to financial or other hardships. Due to the fabulous support we have received for Mattie's Fund, 32 horses are safe and will not be headed to auction! We will be posting their stories on Matties Blog as soon as possible...working to save lives leaves little time to blog about doing it! We want to thank Fran Burns and Dustin's Dreamer for their wonderful support of the Angel Acres Gang & Mattie's Legacy Fund! For every blue ribbon won, Fran donates $10 to our rescue fund...well, Dreamer was winning like crazy and we were able to save Lucky Day from a very unlucky fate, as a direct result of Fran and Dreamer. Fran goes way above and beyond the call of duty for Angel Acres every single day...big hugs from the entire Velvet-Nosed Gang & us non-velvet noses too!

Mattie's Fund Helps Another Gelding in need...

Adorable Bay Gelding - Bobby Too aka Tee - is safe and sound thanks to Mattie's Fund! Will post pictures as soon as they arrive from the foster home...

We work quietly in the background to assist horse owners and horses in need and horse in danger of going to slaughter. We do NOT post details or info until horses are safe...so be sure to watch for our next newsletter.

We have been helping so many horses that I am going to post a complete list on Mattie's Blog...we could not do this withour support from the community...so...watch for more updates and news!!

Have a great Friday everyone!

Dustin's Dreamer!

YEAH DREAMER!!

EMERGENCY HOME NEEDED! PLEASE CROSS POST AND FORWARD

There are two horses in desperate need of homes, they have been assisted by Mattie's Legacy Fund, but the barn manager decided they needed to leave now, instead of in two months, as we were told!

Mattie's Legacy's Bridge The Gap Fund has paid for their Coggins, shots, vet...we were planning to place them, but not with such short notice!

We are looking for a home or even foster care for Belle and Cloud, an 8 year old gorgeous Dark Bay TB mare and 25 year old flea bitten grey Arabian. Below is the email info from owner:

"Belle is an 8 year old thoroughbred mare. She stands 15.3H last time measured. Belle has been ridden English and has the smoothest gates i have ridden.I would consider her slightly green broke. She would excel in dressage and with little training would be a great show horse. She is a sweet horse..."

Cloud (grey gelding shown above) is a 25 year old Arabian. He is 15.1H and flea-bitten gray. He loads, ties, and clips. He will pretty much do anything you ask if he trusts you. He is a great trail horse and will go any where. Cloud is a big sweetheart. Almost anyone can ride him on trails."

They are located 30 minutes North of Harrisburg PA. Please write to me directly at angelacreshorsehaven@yahoo.com or call me at 717-965-7901 if you can help in anyway.

Mattie's Fund Strikes Again!

Mattie's Legacy Fund strikes AGAIN!

Mattie's Legacy Fund is assisting a horse owner with feed, hay, and blankets for
her two horses, she could not afford to keep due to temporary financial
situation. After verifying info, we assisted her and will help for another month or two. She has since found a second job and will be able to keep her two babies!

We couldn't do this without the support we receive from our readers and volunteers, who help collect blankets, feed coupons, and more! Mattie
really is still watching over other horses in need, isn't he?

Angel Acres Shoe Store is Now OPEN! WOO HOO!

The Angel Acres Decorated Shoe Store is now open online! The first 22 shoes are listed and the rest will be up by Thursday...we have had so many requests, we wanted to post this now and the link will go out in the next newsletter.

I am WAY behind on things do to rain and other events, but working on the newsletter and will get that mailed out on Thursday!

Also, in the newsletter will be a write up about Joni Solis, fantastic horse artist, she designed our logo and does a fabulous job working with her clients to get the perfect design for them!

Check her out at

This is beautiful - written by Patty Barnhart

When I am Old...(this is me now - minus the social security!)

I shall wear diamonds And a wide brimmed straw hat
With silver and leather on it and I shall spend my social security
On white wine and carrots

And sit in the alley of my barn
And listen to my horses breathe.
I will sneak out in the middle of a summer's night And ride the chestnut mare Across the moonstruck meadow. If my old bones will allow.

When people come to call I will smile and nod As I walk them past the gardens to the barn And show, instead, the beauty growing there In stalls fresh-lined with straw.
I will shovel and sweat and Wear hay in my hair as if it were a jewel. And I will be an embarrassment to all Who look down on me.


They've not yet found the peace in being free
To love a horse as a friend, A friend who waits at midnight hour
With nuzzle and nicker and patient eyes
For the kind of woman I will be When I am Old.
