About mustanglady

mustanglady started this conversation
Three years ago I started saving as many thoroughbreds as I could from being sold to slaughter. 1 year ago I took every penny I had and applied for my 501 (c) (3) and Heavens Legend Farms became a reality. 2 weeks later our pickup truck's motor blew. A few weeks after that we descovered the floor in the horse trailor had a very serious problem. A very generous lady whose husband had passed, ( He was a thoroughbred breeder ) donated a two horse trailor to us.It only needed cosmetic work and we almost have it finished. I have been working on funding but so far nothing. We found the perfect facility fully equipted to start our operation immedietly. $750,000.00.... I had my application almost filled out to G M when, you guessed it....the bottom fell out... I won't give up but I don't know if my grant writing skills are hampering us or if it's normal to get no after no..I am at the age that I don't have 5 or 6 years to wait, its not that I am not patient I just have alot to do so that it can carry on when I am gone. I not only want to save thoroughbreds but I am also setting up a program to reform bullys ( from the school system) using "ie: bullied" horses.I need help. The cost to get started is close to 1.5 mil and if nothing else I need prayers. That is a heck of alot of money...Thanks.....

Don't let any of your friends miss this... ^ top All Hurting Hearts's posts and comments (7) OUR SWAP SHOP & YARD SALE Posted in Hurting Hearts1 26 minutes ago I am reading, time and time again, that no matter where we are, we all have the same needs. Most of the time it's people wanting other people to share money. And it doesn't look like that is happening too often SO WHY NOT HAVE A CONTINUING SWAP-SHOP/YARD SALE!?!?!?! MYSPACE IS PRETTY EXPENSIVE IF YOU'RE JUST STARTING OUT, FEES FOR POSTING STUFF THAT DIDN'T SELL.....THEN THE COSTS TO USE PAYPAL. I CAN'T AND WON'T DO THAT. I HAVE TRIED ONCE-never sold a dime's woth of stuff and ebay wants charges... lol ON HERE, THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE TOO BE KNOWN ABOUT AND AGREE TOO. *** It'll be pretty hard for some of us to use a master card, so, in most cases people will have to use crash or check. Out of the 2, it is at the discretion between the seller/trader and the buyer to communicate, IN PRIVATE, as to the final details. If you're excepting checks but you want to wait till the check clears-thell them. Also Postage-you can either charge a flat fee for everything that leaves your house,which is what I do...that's easier. If you only send out 2 or3 days a week or whatever-mention it.Pixs!! Great!! Post them....Try to use as many descriptive words as possible when describilbing your items. Most important, do you want too buy, sell, or trade, and then what you're prices are, or what your looking for in trade. Post the long description and pix on your own pages, if you want, then come back here, and write a small post, with a pic if you want-to pull people toward your page for the long description. Just put something Like; this is my pic these are my details to buy sell trade desc.of.pay Then we will be all over the places, on each others pages, commenting on the pics of the items, and for those of us doing adpage, everyone will bennifit; me because we'r come here to look around, then everyone who wants something, or wants to get rid of something. On the top of your page, put your name, state, item. We all ought to have fun here,getting rid of the things we don't want/need anymore,buy selling, or maybe just giving away. And buying some new stuff that you couldn't afford, at discounted prices or maybe traded or even free. Pass this too everyone you know-the more people that know about it, the more options we will all have!!!!

~~A quick note about the grants-really drive home the bennifits for the humanity to both the horses and the at-risk children. And maybe if you started off with smaller grants. Huge numbers as you have posted, in todays conomy may just scare people away, if you failed....just ideas
