Edited: open house and tack sale tomorrow Saurday April 11

first thing this morning we would like to do is thank everyone that donated to BRER through the month of March at the Blue Hill Co-op Change for Good program. We are excited, beyond grateful and so humbled to have received the check yesterday - $3,304.84!!!!!! This amount will more then cover the cost of Boots surgery. The extra will go towards he rehabilitation, extensive and ongoing hoof care and help with training from Chris Lombard Horsemanship. This little donkey exemplifies what living in our community is all about. It certainly takes a village, not only to raise a child but to save a donkey as well. Please follow our page to watch Boots' journey to a happy life. Thank you everyone, from all of us at BRER Your are all a huge part of - stop by tomorrow at the open house and tack sale - at noon we will be introducing each horse and donkey individually and telling their stories - Boots asked if we could explain ahead of time that he is still terrified of people and when he is being introduced, if everyone could be as quiet as possible. :) Thank you everyone, from the bottom of our hearts💖
