Urgent Help Requested!

This Urgent plea went out today. If anyone can help Please! Please do!!! If you can help RT and Viet help this mare, I know it will be greatly appreciated!

Well, I've done it again..... Decided to go to the auction house last night. Kat wanted to sell some of her chickens and I was hesitant about taking the trailer but opted to in the end. Guess the Creator knows better than I do and was pulling me there even when I didn't want to go and CSI Vegas was on (my fav)...I decided to head out.

Walking in the large animal area I was done even before I got to the second stall. My feet were guided to the other end like walking a path they were meant to go. Passing several along the way not really bothering to pay any attention. I got to the end stall and there she was...

*Huge sigh*  I can barely write this without crying. Whew.. There she stood as if waiting on me. My heart was in my throat and I was fuming with anger at the same time. My first reaction was either to hug her or find the *sob* that did that and give him the beating he deserved behind the barn. I asked Kat out loud in front of the others standing around "you got bail money?" She said "Yep, and its been a long time since you've beat someone's azz". Sighs...SO I walked it off and came back. I knew from the look on her face and how I felt that this girl was coming home. I don't know who was bidding against me as I couldn't see off to one side but doesn't matter. I gladly paid the $120.00 to get her out of there. Kat had gotten a warm blanket for 15.00 used at the beginning of the tack. So I put that on her and we got new halters and leads so had some of those. As soon as we had gotten through most of the animals, she got this little burro? donkey? for 45.00. He is a sweetie and so little...Anyway..back to what I need help on. 

With getting Horse Feathers set up I still am waiting on the federal papers although I am registered and certified with the state now as a non-profit horse rescue, I am recognized by the local humane society, etc. Until I get bank accounts set up in the rescue name which we will where Viet works I can't accept checks written out to Horse Feathers Equine Rescue Inc. No way to cash them. I'm working on setting things up with paypal and so on but takes time and I get to type and then go to the barn back n forth so much that its taken me 3 hours to do this email.

I need some help to get the things that she will need. With over $2,000 in vet bills in 6 weeks along with all the care for the two babies I could use a little help with this one. Kat said she will help with the vet bill today but once Doc gets here we will go over the feeding routine and I will add whatever she thinks is best also. This one has bad teeth maybe but she is eating good, she may be close to 20-25 yrs old not sure as one guy said 5-8?. So right now she is on a mash/soup that I make up. Egads I went out there in the dark of this am to make sure she didn't die through the night and when she saw me coming all I could hear was a whisper of a voice trying to nicker at me as she has no voice left from all the starvation. It made me so sad yet I know she as this will to live that is out of this world...Her hind is so sunken in that when she poops the 'turds' for lack of better word get stuck in the pockets instead of dropping to the floor so I have to pick them off her. This weekend it is supposed to get to 90 one day and I will give her a warm bath then. Its just too chilly now and she needs to settle in more. Her legs and even her feet were cold, I mean cold, from lack of body  when at the auction so now she's is bundled up and has warmth under there. If it warms up I will take that off and let her skin breathe some.

Anyway here is what I need. For those who aren't comfortable sending money then please don't hesitate to call Farmers Grain to pay directly. Those who have known me years know I put everything I have into these critters and do without myself..If you care to just mail things from Jeffers, Omaha Vaccine, etc that is fine also (supplements)  A guy at the auction and his wife were talking to me and he is a farrier, he said if I got her then her foot trimming was on him free of charge, he wanted to make sure someone got her and was taking care of her so I will call him today and get him to take care of that. Was pretty nice of him huh? Anyone wanting to help with her vet bill also can call Doc Haury's office. She may need more check ups than the others and she will need her teeth done probably soon. 

I need:

Hay

Shavings 20-40 bags--she needswell padded stall and allows for mucking

Grain--possibly senior? will know later, beet pulp, bran for mash, alfalfa cubes, apple flavored electrolytes, weight builder

Sam's Club gift cards for----- corn oil corn oil corn oil.. She is going to need a lot of it. Aloe Vera juice. 

Herbs from Lorhyl

I called Atwoods and Tractor Supply and ya know #1 I'd recommend that no one shop there, we spent nearly 8,000 there in one year and they won't even allow you to have people call for a rescue and donate. They say once its paid for they want it out of the store at that moment. That's sad as neither one will donate to Horse Rescue either. I will say that the Farmers Grain Co-op has gotten all of our business now and will continue to get more. They are caring people who deserve a KUDOS!! for making themselves available and even delivered hay earlier this year when my truck was acting up for $5.00 in gas...So I will be prejudice and send ya'll there.
