New Year Force of the Horse: Because of Love

“It’s New Year’s Day and because it is the first official New Year Day of the Year of the Horse (started Jan 31st, 2014 and ends Feb. 18th, 2015) we have been asked to repost this holiday story of love and enlightenment. At SFTHH and WHFF we volunteers wish you and yours the very best in the upcoming year and sincerely hope that this will actually be the “Year of the Horse” for both our domestic and wild horses and burros as we address issues of abuse, neglect and slaughter. With persistence and dedication we may find ourselves REALLY celebrating next New Year as we have worked ourselves out of business with resolutions being found to the issues that haunt and torment our equine friends. Keep the faith, it is all coming within reach. Happy New Year to all!” ~ R.T.
