Lorna Mae Safe Haven Ranch - It's In Escrow!
 
We Must Raise $25,000 before February 17th. Please Contribute!

   Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund has placed this beautiful 19.50 acre ranch in escrow! Located in Standish California, right in the heart of northern California's horse and hay country.
   The property is mostly bare fully fenced with a newer mobile home 3 room - 2 bath. We would be able to choose were to place the corrals, round pans, arenas, hay barns, mare motels, etc. and be able to build the facilities to best suit the needs of equines. The property is in a great location and best of all the price is right -  $175.000!  But we had agreed to come up with the down payment of $25,000. That is why we are counting on you to help, we can't do this without you! You will make the difference. We ask that you please donate what you can, the countdown is on and the escrow will be closing on the17th of February.

   We need to raise $25,000 before February 17th, we can only do this if you help us. You can be a part of rescuing thousands of equines that are being abused, neglected and slaughtered by making a donation great or small, every dollar will help. Please don't pass this opportunity up!

Please help us - we need you!

Why will the ranch be called: Lorna Mae Safe Haven Ranch"?
    Tazzy Fund, after hours of research and audits of California equine rescues, selected us to sponsor in loving memory of Lorna Mae.
   Lorna Mae lost her fight with cancer at the age of 63.  Lorna Mae was fighting hard to beat the illness because she had bigger plans. She wanted to introduce Tazzyfund to horse rescue. Lorna developed a love for horses when she bonded with a horse named Apache. One of her last requests was to not forget to save the horses.

Jenny, Splash and Raven Arrived At NER


 
Sponsor Me!

 Jenny is a 11 years old, 10 hands, white, Miniature Donkey, jenny, NER # 192. Jenny is a very sweet and lovable little donkey. She has never been abused or neglected. Her owner was no longer able to keep her. Jenny has been very well fed, and needs to go onto a diet program, she is overweight, and has lumps of fat on her body. She is not foundered but there is a fear of founder if her weight gain is not controlled. We are placing her into our rehab program during her weight loss and exercise programs. Jenny may become a long-term resident of NER. Her work with us would entail going to fairs, parades, schools, children's education centers, rest homes, and more.
 Jenny will need sponsors while in our rehab program.


 
Sponsor Me!
Splash is a 7 years old, 14.2 hands, gray, registered Quarter Pony, gelding, NER # 193. He has been through so much in his short life, it is just terrible.
   No horse should have to go through what he has gone through. Splash was taken to a dishonest horse trainer that sold him, has galloped down Highway 99 being chased by police cars until he ran into a car, has been starved to nothing but bones, has had his back legs slashed up and were infected, has been tied up with the ropes in a barbaric training method, and more, there's just too much to list here, you'll be able to find out more on our web site.
   Splash will remain at our facility in rehabilitation until he is emotionally stable and properly trained.
   Splash is in desperate need of $25 a month sponsors to help cover his feed and care. Please consider becoming a sponsor to help this horse have a new life. You will receive e-mail updates of his progress and pictures, if you sponsor him.

   Raven is a rare jet black, 12.2 hands, 10 years old, Maltese BLM Burro, jenny, NER # 194. She was donated to us by a NER Supporter to help us raise money for our rescue facility. Raven has been titled and does not require BLM paperwork, she has been in captivity for 9 years. Raven is in great health, sweet to work with, has been trained to pack, has been used for cart driving, however her owner said she is really to shy and unsure to be used in a driving environment.  She halters, leads (when she wants too!) and likes to be groomed. Her coloring is very rare and unusual, she is jet black with no markings!

Adoption Fee: $450

Staff Member Of The Month
Scott D. a 42 year old resident of Angwin, California and a long time friend of Tawnee and Jason Preisner (founders) he was the first to joined the Board of NorCal Equine as a lover of horses and also as a show of support for Tawnee and Jason and their vision of making the lives of animals they serve better.
   Scott's earliest horse experiences were with a white QH that was blind in one eye, Scott chuckled as he said 'That horse tree'd me more than I can count" He said that she had a pension for laying down while saddled if he rode her anywhere near sand.  He spoke fondly of his horse and the lessons that she taught him.  Being blind in one eye, she was probably not worth much, but to a young man, perhaps that is what makes him sensitive to the horses that NER serves. 
   Scott's favorite breed of horse is the Percheron.  He enjoys riding, but doesn't own any horses at this time.  He was recently house sitting and a horse got out of the pasture and he said he just 'grabbed a bridle and jumped on one of the other horses bareback and went out and found it." 
   Scott, Self employed as an arborist in the Napa Valley, enjoys extreme outdoor sports such as Swift water kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, backcountry skiing, and any other non-competitive outdoor activity.   He is also very active with his church, going on several mission trips to Mexico and also for a month long trip to Bolivia in the summer of 2005.  He said he would love to someday go on a mission trip to Russia. 
   Scott is a valuable member of our team and we thank you Scott for all your hard work and willingness to volunteer your time for our efforts.
   If you would like to read more about Scott's adventures you can check out his blog at www.aqualogger.blogspot.com or email Scott at h2oscott@sbcglobal.com
