Cart Horse Newsletter Christmas 2013

Rescued cart horse Christmas at her new home. She was confiscated for wandering after her stable mates were killed
by a train. Thank you to Jo at Horse About for providing Christmas with a wonderful new life.
“Whenever we go up to the paddock she stops grazing and comes straight over to put her head against you – loves her
rubs and scratches. She wasn’t supposed to be on the ride, but doesn’t like being left behind so brings herself into the
saddling area and just stands there.. :) while everyone walks past. She brings tears to my eyes every day when I see the
trust she has given us! Thanks again for saving her!! ” - Jo
Joyce was confiscated in June after cart horse angel Eve reported her sighting of Joyce’s driver whipping her. Joyce
was immediately escorted to CHPA’s Epping clinic and taken to the Cart Horse Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre
where she has remained pending the court case. Joyce recently gave birth to a beautiful, strong and healthy colt.
Both mom and baby are doing very well. Joyce is featured in the Cart Horse Calendar for the month of December!

❤ Chris and Shirleen Banks for their generous donation to pay for the tiling of the
cottage at our Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre. This donation will help us generate
an income from the guest cottage that we would like to rent out.
❤ Mrs Harding and Victoria Hill have generously sponsored the cost of new windows
installed into the stables at the Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre. By opening the
stables up a bit more the equine will be able to be kept cool in summer.
❤ Lesley Jones and her daughter donated a brand new saddle to our RR Centre
complete with numnah and stirrups. Thank you for this very lovely gift.
We are delighted to announce that Beauford, Appels, Sir Robert, Mona, Socks and Queen Victoria have all found new
homes, just in time for Christmas!
Mona was confiscated in mid September. She was underweight, wore badly fitting shoes, had the wrong ID board,
and was being driven by an unlicensed driver. She is now living on a beautiful farm with plenty of friends to keep her
company. Queen Victoria has joined old friend Beauty. Visit our Facebook page for more pictures.

Maboy takes an inquisitive bite of the farrier hammer
Leonora was brought to Epping as she was
struggling to stand on her hind legs. A sling
was created for her and she was treated for
pain. She was on the road to recovery when
she suddenly took a turn for the worst and
passed away. Our thoughts are with her
owner at this tragic time.

Thank you Hazel for sending this picture to us!
“This is a photo that I took while we were waiting for the Inspector to come. The
woman in the photo is one of the police women who pulled her over because they
were not happy with the way she looked. Marlene got scolded for blowing her
nose on the car in the background - messing up a crime scene! I was just pleased
she did it, because it seemed like a nice, healthy, thing to do, showing that she
was relaxing.“
Marlene spent 3 weeks at the R&R to rest and pick up weight. Her owner was
fined R1000 for working his horse under condition and no ID plate.
