For the Woman who has EVERYTHING, something so special was given to her...

Having to go back to work the day after Christmas can be a drag.

However, for me, it wasn't.

I had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with four of my five siblings along with bro-in-law and boyfriend-outlaw (!) and it was delightful!

Arriving to work this morning was the usual "what did you get" thing bouncing around the office. Most of the women I work with are always showered with insanely expensive and sparkling gifts and I get to hear about them and/or see them all over their hands, wrists and necks.

I received my gift in the form of a reunion with my sister!

It shined beyond anything and was priceless!

However, the most incredible gift I heard about today was the one given to my co-worker, Mary.

Her family adopted a horse for her! Yes! Please click on the link to the site below for

Mylestone Farms and read about this wonderful place!

Mary is a true animal lover and her family hit the nail on the head with this gift for her! She needs for nothing material in this world. She is blown away by the ability to care for her horse and intends to now volunteer at the farm to care for her Margrit and all the other beautiful horses!

I did not know about Mylestone Farms until today.

Margrit

Although Margrit was certainly alive, it cannot be said that she had a life, for hers was spent tied to a tree. She was bred repeatedly, yet was never afforded the luxury of a barn, a shed, or any sort of shelter. She endured snow, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and scalding summer heat in one spot - tied to the same tree. And she gave birth in those conditions as well. Until her foals were sold, they endured the same fate ... tied to a different tree.
In her late 20's, Margrit is a red roan Appaloosa mare who was rescued, along with her filly, in February 2006 by some kind women who were able to take her in. Mylestone promised to take the mare as soon as she was able to travel if they couldn't find her a home. In that span of time, Margrit also miscarried yet another baby, a blessing according to the vet, who did not believe the mare would have survived the pregnancy and birth.
Margrit came to Mylestone July 2006. She needs to gain at least 200 pounds. She enjoys the human companionship she never knew, and we're hoping, that as soon as she is fully recovered, she will enjoy the companionship of other horses at the farm. Margrit's vet care and feed are costly, and your support would be greatly appreciated. Please donate towards Margrit's care today, or sponsor her. She will be grateful, no doubt, for your caring.
