What is an American Tragedy?

URGENT - Assistance Needed For Abandoned / Surrendered Horses

We have been asked to assist with 2 horses in need.

The person who asked for our help has gone WAY above the call of duty for these two super kind horses...Short story - she agreed to board the 2 horses for "1 week" back in April of 2011...

Fast forward 10 months, & nearly $2,000 in board owed later - they were basically abandoned at the farm - the horses were finally surrendered to her.

See their pages on the website - Hershey's Page and J.J.'s Page.

Angel Acres has covered the hay and grain for this month via Mattie's Legacy Fund.

Normally, we would simply not say anything & go about our merry way of placing them...but this situation is different, and we need your help.

The horses are a 44 year old (seriously, not kidding) sound and healthy mare & the other mare is completely blind but is sound to ride and her previous owner has ridden her all over the place.

We are hoping to find a home that can handle a blind mare and the older mare. The older mare is completely sound and is the blind mare's wingman (wing-girl?) so we must keep them together.

The other option is that we find sponsors for them and allow them to live at the farm in peace.

We are hoping you can help by giving a donation, a sponsorship or possibly a home. Or simply sharing this blog post and help us spread the word about these two sweet girls and possibly find a sanctuary for them.

Thank you for taking the time read this post!

BakeSpace.com's CookBook Cafe iPad App!

BakeSpace.com's CookBook Cafe iPad App! February 22, 2012 - Glenville, PA Happy Wednesday! As you may know, Angel Acres has several cookbooks on BakeSpace.com and also on theCookBook Cafe iPad App. This fantastic app was inspired by BakeSpace.com's founder, Babette Pepaj's desire to help non profits raise funds via cookbooks and avoid the time consuming, labor intensive & costly investment usually needed to create and market a cookbook via standard publishing. "In the past, independent authors and nonprofit organizations were forced to publish cookbooks that were modest in format or limited to a single technology platform, while distribution was usually limited to a small network of friends, family members and supporters," Babette added. "But Cookbook Cafe is about to change this model!" The new BakeSpace.com CookBook Cafe iPad App is now available! Check out this link to learn more: Cookbook Cafe information site Do YOU want to create your own cookbook for the app? Simply click HERE. One of the great things that Babette did by creating this app was allow groups like us (non profits, charities, schools, churches, etc) to creat our own fundraising cookbook (we hit up the family for recipes ;o) and then do a short video, a few pics and wal- lah (is that really a word?) we are up and running! Click the CookBook Cover below to check out our recipes...SUPER big thanks to Babette, Erik and all of the folks at BakeSpace.com for this fantastic app!

Cee Cee & Leslie Happy Update!

Cee Cee was purchased by Kelly, a friend of Angel Acres, from the New Holland sale almost 3 years ago (site unseen she had gotten a call from the sale from a "friend" who told her about the mare).

The mare was supposed to be a "polo pony" in "great shape". Instead, she showed up in poor condition, overgrown mane & feet and with wounds on her body.

Kelly then called me a few weeks later, and told me the story - and asked if we could help find her a great home.

We agreed.

She went to Amy for foster training, then came back to Angel Acres for adoption.

Fast forward to today...this is Leslie and Cee Cee last month. Cee Cee was adopted out under the Angel Acres Dollar Program. There is no greater joy for a rescue then to get happy horse updates from our adopters!

Big hugs to Leslie for giving Cee Cee a happy new life!

THANK YOU EVERYONE! Pops The Mustang Is Now SAFE!

You may remember Pops The Mustangs' urgent situation - click HERE to read his original story.

He was in dire need of being rescued quickly. We posted that we needed help to get him to safety and lots of folks donated to get his transportation covered.

3 weeks ago the folks that agreed to take him went to go pick him up...it did not go well. They spent over 2 hours trying to get him onto the trailer (basically he kept running into the woods).

Things went differently today, Carol - the fantastic lady who basically did all the leg work to get him into a mustang sanctuary - called a little while ago and left me a message that he was on the trailer (not happy about it, lol) but nonetheless on the trailer and headed to start his new life!!!

THANK YOU to everyone for your help with this sweet guy!! We cannot do what we do with you!

Angel Acres Needs Help Raising Canadian Billboard

Help Get Our Billboard Up in Canada! You may have heard that Angel Acres Anti Horse Slaughter billboards are up around the country, now we have the opportunity to put a billboard in Canada! Thousands of American horses are shipped to Canada to be slaughtered each year - for a few dollars our horses are subjected to unspeakable horror and pain. How could this be happening when millions of Americans are opposed to horse slaughter? WHY are our horses being shipped across the border to be brutally slaughtered to feed foreign consumers? Simple, the pro slaughter lobby is a well funded machine thriving on the blood money of the accidental industry of brutality and horror - horse slaughter. Proganda like this United Horsemen newsletter have helped allow this atrocity to occur. (See my reply to their original email to Angel Acres and their "rescue plans" - HERE.) In my opinion, they have been able to package horse slaughter to the non horse savvy public to appear as a public service that benefits horses and provides a service to horse owners. Horses suffer at every step of the process - from transport to killing floor - many anti slaughter websites have undercover video of the horrors & inhumane treatment taking place at slaughter plants in Canada and Mexico. We have been watching the hits to the billboards companion website Stop Slaughtering US increase DAILY everywhere there is a billboard up! Horse slaughter is NOT harvesting, processing, rendering; it is horrifically and brutally slaughtering innocent horses who have given their lives (in more cases than not) for their owners. The Angel Acres Anti Horse Slaughter Awareness Campaign is a grassroots effort designed to change that, one driver and one billboard at a time. This one is URGENT - PLEASE HELP by DONATING today! We receive no federal, state or corporate funding for this awareness and now, even more important educational effort. PLEASE help us raise the funds needed to this important board up, NOW! 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. Angel Acres PO Box 62 Glenville, PA 17329 Have a great weekend ahead and THANK YOU for helping us spread the word, Jo Deibel :o) Angel Acres Horse Haven Rescue, Inc. PO Box 62, Glenville, PA 17329
