Summer gives us a break from the labor intensive work of the winter months. In winter, the horses living here at our sanctuary need hay (forage) in front of them 24/7. When summer rolls around, we rely on green pastures to provide the herd with what they need. And not buying or giving hay also gives us time to rebuild the sanctuary funding. We simply could not do what we do without funding. Unfortunately, our area is in a difficult drought. Heavy traffic areas in the pastures have turned to dirt, and the pastures themselves are crunchy. Today, I had to buy a load of hay. A big financial hit. And I'm going to have to buy more. Proud Spirit has been in operation for over 30 years. We have intervened on behalf of 100s of at-risk horses and dozens of other animals in need. We could not, and can not, function without help. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization with an exemplary international reputation. If you follow me and the sanctuary, you know I very, very rarely ask for help. But, as mentioned, we can not survive without help. If you are able, if you believe in what we're doing here... consider a tax deductible contribution. The link is in the comments.

The work here at the sanctuary doesn't take a holiday. We finished a second water collection station today. (Once again, I say "we" when really Jim did all the hard labor. I'm the go-fer). We have three of these now. They are going to be vital in providing water for the herd while easing the strain on our well - now if we'd only get some rain. We're in a terrible drought. The pastures are crunchy, and I'm worried we'll have to begin giving hay. Proud Spirit Horse Sanctuary

Oh, my...!!! Speaking of my publisher, LOOK what just released! "DEAR READERS AND RIDERS: The Beloved Books, Faithful Fans, and Hidden Private Life of Marguerite Henry." By Lettie Teague. I can't wait to get a copy. And I know so many of my horse loving friends will be all over this. Where can you purchase? I'm a fan of supporting local Indie stores, and any one of them can get this in for you. Or order directly from my publisher: TrafalgarBooks.com (Sorry the pages of the catalog in this photo are bent - I was like a crazy person getting to the LITTLE PEARL page) 😆

Well, my goodness! This super-terrific fifth grader has been named NH Kid Governor for 2024, and she mentions Liberty Biscuit in an interview. Wow! (Link to the article in s in the comments).

"The book LIBERTY BISCUIT by Melanie Sue Bowles is a great read," says Ellie. "The story teaches about how animals are getting abused and why it is important that we work to help them. Even though it is fiction, it teaches the lessons of loving and caring for animals just as well."

A few members of the Proud Spirit Herd... And they are why we do what we do. Most of the horses who arrive at the sanctuary are emaciated, terrified, un-trusting, sickly, in urgent need of care. We are proud (and grateful) for the way they look, and feel, now.
