To
recognize the contributions of the many indviduals who
make up ASAP, we will be profiling volunteers one at a
time. Many more will be stepping into the spotlight! Before
the spotlights is a partial list of some
of the wonderful people who selflessly give to the horses
of ASAP. More people to be listed soon. We can't say THANK
YOU enough!
-
Sandy Palmer - avid supporter, cheerleader, and
fund raiser!
- Bryan and Kim - this program would not be the
same without them - web masters, lovers of all the horses
but especially Precious KC, donors of lots of supplies
for the farm!
- Jennifer Everson - she has boarded and fostered
horses free of charge all summer when needed and has not
received nearly enough thanks for that!
- Linda Bair - you have been a GREAT voice in Minnesota
for ASAP - promoting the program and the breed and selling
many raffle tickets! The list of things you do for ASAP
goes on and on.
- Carmen Burth - the silent workhorse in North
Branch who selflessly screens hundreds of applications
a year and also does not receive nearly as much thanks
as she should! She never complains - always is willing
to go the extra mile to make sure these horses get a good
home.
- Dale Lamminen - your financial support and moral
support keeps us going!
- Kathy and Joe Dunigan - for your sensitivity
and heart and financial support
- Tony Maurello - faithfully gives a percentage
of his horse's winnings on an ongoing basis
- Sara Wedwick - volunteer and fellow teacher who
comes to the farm to groom, love, and otherwise provide
care for the horses.
- Kim Cleminson - another MN woman who opens her
heart, her home, and pocketbook to the horses in need.
She is the "mom" to Mickey, otherwise known
as Indy, who is thriving at her farm, as well as Nonobadphilly
and Izabeau.
- Craig Wellman - gives up his spare time daily
to care for the horses even when it is overwhelming and
frustrating and sad ... handles the hard cases ... supports
me even when it would be easier to just give up.
- Dr. Wilson DVM = donates veterinary supplies
and has never turned down our requests!
- Dr. Mark Mattison - La Crosse Veterinary Clinic
- lots of free advice and teaching on how to vet horse
ourselves whenever possible ... a 10 year supporter of
the program!
- Marlyss Hanson - who sent money to a program
out of her extreme belief in the STB breed!
- Sally Watt - a prestigious race owner who pledges
dollars each year to support her long term care STandardbred
who lives here in sanctuary - Friendly Explosion
- Tiffany Bingham - made it possible for us to
rehabilitate Bob the Belgian rather than having him go
to slaughter - and will be helping with a fund raising
event in Richland Center Sept. 27.
- Regina Stover - a saint in Nebraska who attends
horse sales and saves innocent lives from slaughter, then
rehabilitates them and donates them to ASAP. Because of
Regina, Benny, Lily, Arizona, Charlie, and Bullet have
had a guardian angel!!!!\
- Lynda Shelton - another selfless soul who has
gone way out of her way to help Final Act, as well as
Won Pine Hoss. Her husband and she drove 400 miles in
a recent attempt to recover a horse that humane society
officials felt was being neglected ... they made the contacts,
they took the truck and trailer - and no one would even
know this unless we publicized them in this update. You
two deserve a place in heaven as well!
- Lisa Goodman - a professional and horse lover
from Lake County, IL, who has hauled horses for ASAP,
and boarded three horses for ASAP for the past several
months at NO CHARGE. She is truly involved for the horses,
and has ended up loving and adopting two of the three
horses! She is truly someone we continue to appreciate
and hope she stays on for years to come.
