WASHINGTON D.C. (SFHH) – For those of you who have not had the opportunity to read our book, “Straight from the Horse’s Heart“, there is an opening story that describes the passing of a very special and loving spirit, my mother. In that story, she speaks of her love for our horses and how they brought her strength as she fought with the ravages of a cancer treatment that had gone terribly wrong. My last memories of my mother where of her quietly resting, hugging a small stuffed horse that I had given her that looks very much like one of our rescued horses, Harley, and hearing her whisper; “You go home to Terry and the horses, now, Harley is here cheering me on.” Both Harley and the little stuffed horse lived on, my mother did not.
Author R.T. Fitch and "Little Harley"
That little stuffed horse reminds me, daily, of the promise that I made to the horses and to that gentle spirit who crossed the bridge; the promise to “get the message out” to “tell the world of the sense less brutality of horse slaughter” and that little stuffed horse is with me today. He is now in Washington D.C.along with Terry, my wife, poised to meet with our Senators and Congressmen on July 14th for “Horses on the Hill”…the day that we speak out against the atrocities of horse slaughter.
In memory of a special and dynamic spirit we come here, to the center of our government, to give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves…and we promise to keep you, our readers, updated on the progress of “Little Harley” and his attempt to progress the message to those who hold the fate of our American Horses in their hands.
Tune in daily to https://rtfitch.wordpress.com for updates and be sure to visit www.horsesonthehill.org for information on how you can either attend or call in to make the difference that is needed to save our equine companions.
On a wing and many prayers, we are here, along with Little Harley, to speak for you and your equine companions. Let us just hope and pray that someone is listening as the truth must be heard.
May the Force of the Horse® be with you.

Straight from the Horse's Heart 
RT, I had not known you then or what many were doing before September. There are organizations I have received info from and been able to hear about many things. But now I feel much more connected to the compassionate horse community that raised me. I do wish we could get coverage and day to day reports on every roundup to do as the Pryor roundup did; directly involve people on a daily basis which leads to a commitment from many and activism, too. I saw this happen and since I see that their is a ‘need to know’ and we are not providing that. Can we try to do this? Do you see what I mean? BLM is trying to behave. Contractors are on their guard but that does not make the roundups safe or good. What the roundups produce and the subsequent hauling, adoption sites and holding are a direct result. The majority of horses are just on a dead end that has cut them off from home ranges and family. Is their someone willing to invest in sending people into the field and helping get the photos, video, and info that we all need to fuel our efforts? Mar
