Trees:
The Gift of Shade to the Horses!
Here
in Florida it gets very hot and humid long before Summer officially
starts. The heat can be unbearable. Some of our pastures
did not have any trees to help shade the horses. In April, 2009,
our rescue was offered some very nice oak trees, installed, for $150
each - a price that is exceptionally good. It was only with the
help from others that we were able to have eight lovely trees
installed. We appreciate very much any and all help to provide
these trees for the horses possible. When I went to look at the
trees, they were so beautiful and tall, I went on faith and a prayer
and bought eight trees. Funds for these eight trees and for four
additional trees have been received! We also had to buy garden
and soaker hoses and timers for each tree. These items ended up
costing more then the trees! Any assistance with this project
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
Update:
04/17/09: Eight trees have been donated and have been installed!
We have received donations for four more trees, and they will be installed in about
two weeks.

We can't keep the trees alive without additional garden and soaker
hoses and timers. Funds received in addition to those needed for
a tree will be applied to the lifeline (water) items for the trees.
|
|
Those that have been here know how much these
trees will help the horses.
It is a real blessing to have others care enough to help make dreams
like this possible.
