then rate it and also comment on it - the highest rating and most comments wins - we sure could use $1000 - this is quick and easy - you will have to sign up for a youtube account tho - but it's really quick and free too! So please check this out and give us a hand (rate and comment) and forward to all of your friends - thanks so much - and next - this is REALLY important - I am sending this out in hopes that some of you will help us - ANY amount will help. Note that ALL proceeds will go to Horse Play and the RISPCA - Horse Play is staffed entirely by volunteers and we depend on the public for support. Please help us spread the word and raise awareness of this event. The need is great!
On May 16, 2009, it’s “2-Legs For 4-Legs”. Deidre Sharp, founder and President of Horse Play, a non-profit equine rescue and sanctuary in Saunderstown, RI, will walk across Rhode Island (from the RISPCA in East Providence to Horse Play in Saunderstown, about 35 miles) to raise awareness and funds for Horse Play and the RISPCA / Marvin Fund. Every 5 minutes an American horse is slaughtered in Canada or Mexico, the fate of many horses sold at auction. With the current economic crisis, many people are forced to give up their horses and many of those horses end up at slaughter. Horse Play provides a safe haven for such horses, but our facility is full (19 equines) and we are also facing the same economic crunch. The cost for hay and feed has risen dramatically. We are forced to put horses on our “waiting list” but how long can they wait? We receive at least 3-4 calls a week and 5-6 emails from people needing help. Horse Play is including the RISPCA in this endeavour as they have a fund – the Marvin Fund – which assists owners in difficult situations and helps them to keep their beloved pets – horses included. Please consider sponsoring Deidre on this walk on Saturday May 16!! Any amount will be appreciated and it’s tax-deductible.
