Greetings!
Happy Wednesday!
This was supposed to be a much happier newsletter…instead we need your help. We have an emergency situation…so…here is the skinny below: We need help getting a gelding from Huntington area in KY to Bumpass, VA. Mattie’s Legacy Fund has covered the shots, coggins and health certificate for this guy and have arranged for a safe place for him to go…but no new funds have come in and the fund is completey depleted…sigh…the total shown at Mattie’s Legacy Fund is what came in from July and those funds and additional funds raised offline have been used. The fund is currently empty and we need transport assistance for him.
The family has had tremendous illness, jobless, car break downs, etc. and thru it all has managed to care for their horses (other horse is now safe) and feed them…we are doing our best to help them…all info has been verified and horse is coming into one of our safe houses in VA.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Please let us know if you know of any good transporters that run along the East Coast. We estimating the cost at between $400 and $500 for hitching a ride with someone going from KY to VA. You can send a donation to us at Mattie’s Legacy Fund or you can send a donation to our paypal addy at angelacreshorsehaven@yahoo.com just note Mattie’s Legacy Fund – KY to VA.
For anyone that doesn’t use paypal – via our Angel Acres Secure Donation Page
Please forward to a friend via the button below my name too and help us spread the word for this sweet guy!

Dear Friends, Supporters, and Future Supporters,
We have heard you voice your complaints about the roundups.We have listened to you share so many of your personal stories about your own adopted mustangs.
We have all sent thousands of letters via fax, email, and USPS to our Government officials. Even to the point of their phone lines being unplugged and emails shut down due to the high volume of wild horse supporters on this issue.
We are doing all of these things daily, but there still has been NO change.
It’s time for the PONY EXPRESS!!!
I will personally hand deliver each and every letter that you write, via the Pony Express (one of our beautiful mustangs), to Washington DC. I am setting a goal of 20,000 individual letters to take with me. Americans, International supporters, animal activists, anyone who would like to tell President Obama, Secretary Salazar, and Bob Abbey that we aren’t going to sit by waiting until these roundups are over is encouraged to write. This is a very important issue to hundreds of thousands of people that have pleaded with our government to stop gathering our wild horses. This way they cannot unplug their phones, make their website impossible to send a comment to, or delete emails. These are GOING to get to Washington. I promise you that!
For the millions of people who are unaware of the roundup process, here it is: The Bureau of Land Management, a branch of the Department of the Interior, has scheduled the removal of America’s wild horses and are attempting to change the grazing rights to be cattle only on the BLM owned land, which leave our wild horses homeless. 100 years ago there were 2 million horses. Now, because of these roundups, there are only 30,000 left. They contract low-flying helicopters to taunt and scare the mustangs, separating them from their families, and eventually coerced into tiny pens. The mustangs are then taken off to holding facilities where they no longer have room to roam anymore. They will be moved to a long-term holding facility for up to three years if not adopted out or sold to a buyer that intends on using the wild horse for slaughter.
Deadline for letters: September 1, 2010
This gives us ONE month to get 20,000 letters in hand to bring to our Nation’s Capital. You can find all of this information, as well as a link to the letter on our website, http://www.savingamericasmustangs.org/ or click the button below. By clicking that button, you will send your letter to our government, but also a copy directly to our Saving America’s Mustangs office; where we will print them, put them in envelopes, and hand-deliver to Washington. Every letter counts! Please forward this email to all of your contacts so that we can make this Pony Express as huge as HUMANLY possible. (or HUMANELY possible on behalf of our majestic, wild horses)
Very Sincerely,
Madeleine Pickens
