MANE event Dear Readers, Even though this fundraiser for horses is happening in Maryland -- waaaay across the country from me -- I have to share. If you live near the shop, I hope you'll support them. Here's the news Appearances Hair Salon Presents Hair Cuts for the Horses Do you, a friend, a sibling or a neighbor need a hair cut? Please make an appt at Appearances Monday July 28th for a discounted cut. All dollars earned on the 28th will be donated to Freedom Hill to help feed and care for the horses in our rescue program !! Call 301-855-700 for an appointment # posted by Terri Farley @ 7:32 AM Tuesday, July 22, 2008 DON'T BE SHY (please) Dear Readers, I want to tell you all about my trip to Wyoming and Colorado, but first, I'm going to ask you to speak up. This week I'm doing a television interview and I'm talking about YOU -- or at least some of you. The topic: how young people are helping wild horses! Think about what you've done and write me an email telling me about it. If you have a website devoted to wild horses, or you've signed a petition, volunteered at a wild horse sanctuary, written a school paper or newspaper article about them, all those things count. Links to websites which show what you've done are VERY welcome! Please include your first name & where you live! It's not bragging :) Thanks you all, Terri # posted by Terri Farley @ 9:25 PM Monday, July 14, 2008 Fav Quote from NEWSWEEK article "You mean to say that the millions of cows on BLM land are causing less damage than 20,000 horses?" # posted by Terri Farley @ 11:42 AM Thursday, July 10, 2008 Horse Talk Dear Readers, I still have a few more days of answering questions at a Virtual Press Conference and I hope you'll join me. Visit GirlsHorseClub.com and click on HORSE TALK (upper left of the home page) and it will guide you to where a bunch of us are chatting about horses, books, and the future of what I'm writing. You can make suggestions, ask questions, whatever you like! We're working on strategies to help wild horses, too. For instance, you might check out http://www.wildhorsepreservation.com/news_alerts.html for some things you can do no matter where you live! Best, Terri # posted by Terri Farley @ 9:21 AM Wednesday, July 09, 2008 STANDING UP for horses HI -- I couldn't stay out of this discussion of wild horses in a Wyoming newspaper. Just cut and paste this link in your browser. http://www.trib.com/articles/2008/07/09/editorial/letters/8bbe68c3dc1ba66d8725747f0075bb71.txt Best, Terri # posted by Terri Farley @ 11:06 AM Monday, July 07, 2008 Heads-Up re: calling BLM Dear Readers, I just called BLM's Jim Caswell's office and was told Tom Gorey is taking the messages on this topic. NOT. According to Mr. Gorey's answering machine, he is on vacation this week. So, I called back to Caswell's office to notify them that gee, no one was there to discuss the wild horse issue. The woman I talked with was very nice, and I don't know if this was an intentional shuffle by someone above her, but just thought I'd give you a heads-up. Moral of the story -- leave message with everyone you talk to & get their names for possible follow-up. Best, Terri # posted by Terri Farley @ 7:39 AM Sunday, July 06, 2008 CALL NOW! Dear Readers, I have a message for you from Bonnie Matton, President of the Wild Horse Preservation League : "When Wild Horse Annie was trying to get a bill passed in 1971 to protect the wild horses and burros, IT WAS THE CHILDREN WHO HELPED GET IT THROUGH CONGRESS. Now, I’m sure, it will be you and your friends will help save the Mustangs - our American Heritage - just as the children, citizens of the United States and other countries, helped Annie. These magnificant animals belong to YOU, not to the Bureau of Land Management who are the overseers of both them and the public lands where the wild ones have the right to freely roam." I want to add my plea, as well. You can help the horses HUGELY by making a thirty second phone call . It will cost next to nothing. Pick one (or both) of the phone numbers. . If you call (202) 208-3801 anytime after 7:30 a.m., Eastern time, you'll reach the office of Mr. Jim Caswell (director of BLM) . Tell whoever answers what you're thinking. I'll be saying something like this : America's wild horses belong to the American people. I am a citizen and I want MY horses alive, running wild and free. Please pass on my message to __________________. May I please have your name so that I may follow up, later? If that line is busy, try the office of the Secretary of the Interior -- Mr. Dick Kempthorne (202) 208-3100 (Secretary of the Interior) -- wait for option #5, the Bureau of Land Management and tell whoever answers there, what you're thinking. The horses can't speak for themselves. You are their voice, Terri # posted by Terri Farley @ 10:26 PM |
