To Whom It May Concern,
It has come to my attention that there was a misunderstanding amongst several horse people about horses currently residing at the farm (Taylor's Purchase in Sparks, Md) being rented by Jackie Showacre. The horses at that farm are NOT horses that belong to Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc.
We are no longer affiliated with Jackie Showacre (she is now married last name Harward or something similar) and none of our horses reside with her.
Thank you,
Jo

Best Michael Vick Protest Video - NOT Graphic...
This truly has gotten my ire up...I absolutely have NO free time to be doing this...but I will put other personal things on the back burner to help protest this vile, disgusting, worthless, waste of human flesh's NFL reinstatement and his subsequent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles...I bet that TONS of Philly fan are enraged by this.
I think there are about 13 million dogs that are owned, loved and cared for by Americans...that's A LOT of people to irritate for the sake of winning the Super Bowl and for the almighty dollar. I don't know how they will sleep at night...I hope the cities they visit protest each and every game!

Truth about rescue horses...
Ok, I have been debating for quite some time about whether or not to address this issue...and I have decided its about time to do it!
I must get at least 4 emails a week asking if our horses are ridable and what problems they have, because they are rescue horses. Almost always with a connotation that SOMETHING must be wrong with them...NOT THE CASE!!!
NOT all rescue horses have problems, in our case and in the case of many other horses, their only crime was not being fast enough to earn their keep. MANY of our horses have gone onto become show horses, eventers, hunters, jumpers, polo ponies, trail horses, pleasure horses, 3 day eventers and on and on and on...
I will post more details on this nightly...I can only begin to scratch the surface in this first post...stay tuned for more posts about rescue horses aren't all crippled and unridable (though some are) or why a rescue horse should be your next horse!
THE THOROUGHBRED YOUR NEXT SPORT HORSE!

Long Long Day!
Today was a busy, busy day at Angel Acres!
Volunteers galore, lots of brainstorming about fundraising ideas (and WOW do we have an amazing one in the works!) , schooling horses, washing horses, mucking stalls, scrubbing water buckets and painting and decorating lots of shoes for the fair!
Due to the crazy demand we have had in the past couple of years for the decorated horse shoes and our near inability to keep up with demand (Jo bawling at the kitchen table with a hot glue gun and coffee at 2am during the week of the fair does not count as keeping up, pretty funny now though! LOL) in time for the holidays, our store will be open from Sept 19, 2009 till December 10th 2009. That way we can make sure everyone that orders shoes, will get them in time for holiday delivery.
We will also ship direct to a recipient (with a holiday card enclosed) for anyone who would like us to.
Finally, I had planned to post lots of updates tonight, but I can barely keep my eyes open and decided to wait till tomorrow...I am guessing there would be a lot of typos and stuff I would have to fix later! LOL!
Have a great night everyone!
