This is so cool!

This week, Susan celebrated her 11th anniversary of becoming an integral part of the engine that runs Tierra Madre.

Not only has she been volunteering at least twice a week for all that time, she also sits on our board & is personally responsible for bringing our longest-&-still-coming-with-regularity group of clients – special needs students from Greenway High School – to the ranch.

I don’t want to speak for Susan but I don’t think I’d be too far off the mark if I told you that she’d probably tell you that her greatest accomplishment is what she’s done & continues to do for Journey. She’s guided our girl from being a totally wild mustang into becoming a loving, accepting, very contented little horse who’s learned a number of incredible tricks that she’s more than happy to show off for anybody who wants to see something extraordinary (which is just about everybody).

Susan is a huge, HUGE part of the heart of Tierra Madre Horse & Human Sanctuary & her friendship, guidance & enthusiasm is embraced by all of us &, most of all, me.

CONGRATULATIONS, SUSAN – AND THANK YOU!

Saturday, June 13th……..

Hey guys – BIG NEWS!!!

If you’ll recall, a little while back I threatened that the Horses of Tierra Madre would paint an original work of art. And that, just maybe, it could be YOURS!

Well, making good on my threat, the painting is now finished! This morning, Goldie & Bailey added their concluding finishing touches.

It’s entitled ‘Life Is Good’ & it measures 24”x36” (or 36’x24” if you measure it horizontally) – either way will work. And it’s on canvas & very suitable for framing.

We’re going to raffle it off & the winner will be randomly chosen on the morning of Saturday, June 27th.

“How can I win such an incredibly awesome work of art?”, you ask.

Well, I’ll tell you.

It’s simple – you get entered into the raffle by making a tax-deductible donation to Tierra Madre. Here’s how it works:

$25 donation – One chance
$50 donation – Three chances
$100 donation – Eight chances

There are four ways for you to make a donation & enter the raffle:
• Go to our website – ranchotierramadre.org – & click on the ‘Donate to Help Our Herd’ button which will take you to PayPal &/or Venmo
• Venmo (without going to the website) – we’re tierramadre2006
• Zelle – we’re [email protected]
• Send a check to Tierra Madre, 27115 N. 45th St., Cave Creek, AZ 85331 (just make sure you get it here on time)

We’ll write your name on as many little pieces of paper as the number of chances you donated for & draw the winning name out of a bucket. We’ll notify the winner as soon as it happens & we’ll post the exuberant winner’s name right here on this page.

Also, the winner will receive a Certificate of Authenticity, featuring the names of all of the artistes - the Horses of Tierra Madre.

Leonardo. Rembrandt. Van Gogh. Warhol. Basquiat. The Horses of Tierra Madre. They can all be said in the same breath.

Those with great personal wealth & who use their wealth to help the unfortunate & the downtrodden are to be admired for they have chosen for their souls to be bountiful. Those with great personal wealth & who do not use their wealth to help the unfortunate & the downtrodden are to be scorned for they have chosen for their souls to remain barren.

Friday, June 12…..

Okay, here’s a little something for you about horses that you may or may not have known about. Or, for that matter, cared.

Horses need Vitamin E because they cannot produce it internally. It’s necessary for their neurological health, muscle tone, their immune systems & their weight. Now, most places in this country have pastureland & horses that graze upon it receive sufficient Vitamin E through the grasses they eat.

However, here in the desert, that grazing is unavailable to them so some horses need a boost via supplements.

A few years ago, Dr. K suspected that several of our horses might be lacking in sufficient Vitamin E levels & ran blood tests on them. Five of our horses – M’Stor, Bourbon, Birdie, Guess & Slayer – were found to need a supplement. We give them on-feed Vitamin E daily.

A couple of weeks ago, when the kids were all getting their vaccinations & annual physicals, Doc pulled blood on those five again.

The results came back yesterday & Guess’ & Slayer’s numbers are well within range. M’Stor’s, Bourbon’s & Birdie’s numbers, though, were too low. Not horrible, but too low.

Simple solution: increase their daily Vitamin E intakes & we began that this morning.

So there. Like I said, I don’t know if you knew any of that before – or if you care – but guess what?

You do now.

Know a little bit about horses (our horses, in particular) & Vitamin E, that is.

WE ROCK ON!
