Hi Peter,
     Received an e-mail today about a new orphan foal here locally.  So I sent them your way to cyberfoal.com.  Just had to come back to visit your site and I was really glad to see

 that it is still there for people.  My Nick is now 11 this year, being orphaned at about 3 days old.  We have gone many miles together and I am hoping to bring him up to the

 Canadian Nationals Championship Competitive Trail Ride in Alberta in July. I noticed that you are also in Calgary, very near where the ride will be held. I would love to stop by and visit

 your farm if that is possible.  Thanks for all you do.  I have referred lot's of folks to your site over the years.  Later, Kathy & Nick KKMoonshadowranch@msn.com.

Hello, First I would like to express my appreciation to Peter J Hurst; I can only admire a person who thoughtfully and wisely is using the Internet to better the equine industry in this matter.

 I challenge all to add this link readily and with easy access to any and all equine web sites. I myself will be adding this as a direct link.

Then secondly I would like to offer my services to anyone who might consider or be in need, many have to work or need a break from Orphan Care, and I am very experienced in this area. 

There is a fee for the care, but I do not mind making barter deals as well or feasible. However I would like to avoid doing the care in exchange for the foals, for this is not really my goal. 

(However I am open minded)  I am located in Northern Alberta. I can be reached at digbits@msn.com   Also you can fax me at 780 358 2847 or visit my website @

 www.albertaequestrianawarenesssociety.org

Hi - I have a new website called www.HorseWorldCentral.com - and I would like to set up a reciprocal link.  We are striving to be a one stop source where people can find all sort of horses 

for sale, stallions for service, stables, transportation, association and breeding information, etc..  If you are interested, I will put you under the title Helpful Horse Sites.

  Please email me at horseworldcentral@yahoo.co and let me know.  Thanks!
Sandy

Do you know of a website website where I can list my mare for being used as a surrogate mother, she lost her foal 3/16 late evening and we are trying to see if we can help someone with a orphaned or rejected foal? 785-806-9000

Hi, 
Firstly thank you for the work you do for horses. My name is Linda and I live in Australia. I am a carer to 9 horses and 5 donkeys (all but 2 are rescues) and I am writing to as many parties

 as I can to get help on letter writing to address the treatment of animals in China.

I wish to draw your attention to two accounts from Animals Asia Foundation operating from Hong Kong (founder Jill Robinson)

The first is from Jill’s blog and relates to the treatment of donkeys at the live animal market in Maoshan

The horrors of Maoshan - part 2 

Friday, February 8, 2008, 10:46 PM

The market also doubles as a slaughterhouse - a round metal drum with orange spikes used for "de-furring" the cats and dogs sits just outside a burning cauldron that will be cooking their meat

 for customers towards lunchtime. 

Close by, truck after truck piled high with white goats begin arriving at the market, while donkeys are being dragged out of sheds and loaded into cages, trucked off to be slaughtered elsewhere.

 Frightened and exhausted, several have no strength to rise to their feet and the traders kick them in the stomachs and beat their backs with metal poles until they can stand the agony no more

 and rise on shaking legs. Even then, the abuse continues and the traders continue beating them and grabbing their tails, painfully twisting them into knots, and forcing the donkeys to climb up

 the metal ramps into the cages.

The second relates to the upsurge of the ‘spectator sport’ of horse fighting. Below is the position paper form Animals Asia

http://www.animalsasia.org/index.php?module=6&menupos=2&submenupos=4&lg=en

 Horse fighting
 
Animals Asia position paper
 
February 2008: Animals Asia investigators first witnessed the horrific spectacle of “horse-fighting” back in 1997 when we visited Xili Lake Safari Park in Shenzhen, southern China and 

documented a cruel and astonishing event. Today the practice continues despite our protests to the Government whenever we hear of its re-occurrence in safari parks and zoos across the country. 

The practice of horse-fighting originates from a tradition of the Miao minority, who live in southwest China. According to legend, it began about 500 years ago, when two young men fell in love

 with a beautiful girl. The King of Miao decided to organise a horse-fighting competition so that the winner could then marry the girl in question. Today, especially in the Miao community, 

horse-fighting has become a regular event to celebrate the Miao New Year during November of each year. However, Animals Asia has found that government officials in Guizhou now actively 

encourage this cruel event in order to attract tourists, to “help the people to get rid of poverty”. Although not so widespread or popular, it is clear that horse-fighting occurs to entertain

 the visitors and tourists – and other areas such as Guangdong encourage its existence. 

Generally, a mare is induced into season through the injection of hormones. She is led out into a ring that contains two roped and tied stallions and paraded in front of them for several

 minutes in order for them to pick up her scent. Goaded into sexual excitement the two stallions are then released and begin fighting with each other almost st

With the “Green” Olympic Games just around the corner, the practice of horse-fighting is in appalling contrast to the message of living harmoniously with nature. The effect of witnessing such

 barbarity – particularly on children – is hard to imagine. If we want our children to grow up as caring, compassionate adults surely there are better ways of teaching them than this. 

This is a repulsive spectacle by any stretch of the imagination and we urge supporters of Animals Asia to write swiftly to their local Chinese Embassy decrying such a cruel form of so-called 

entertainment. Embassy addresses can be found at: www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/embassy_list.htm
 
 
 Re the donkeys I have been in contact with a number of agencies and in addition to long term projects being run in China all encourage the writing of polite letters to the government.

Could the IPLH (As an agency, individual staff/supporters, whoever) participate in a letter writing campaign to the Chinese government on both of these matters?

I have attached a sample letter and offer the following:

·         If you can please personalise the letter and make small changes whilst keeping the main messages intact.

·         Please ensure you include your name and address so the receiving government has to send a reply.

·         It is essential that the letter is polite in language and tone – it achieves a better result.

·         It is better to post these rather than e-mail as you get a better response

·         Include a thank for the work of agencies already in China

 Letters should be sent to local embassy  - details at this website

 http://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/

 And very importantly please send onto anyone you can think of that would be interested in helping. We need very large volumes to achieve a change.

 Regards and many thanks to you for the outstanding work you do
Regards
Linda.
 

Hi Peter,

Liz.

Hi Peter:
I came across your poetry on the internet while looking for something to couple with a foal image on a mug and other types of imprintable material. I liked many of the poems that you have

 posted. I was wondering what the charge for each use of one of your poems would be.

I retired a couple of years ago after 25 years of heavy travel. We have a small Dutch Warmblood breeding farm south of Seattle. Part of what we provide is a kid's program including an after

 school program, birthday parties, summer day camps, etc. The kids help my wife with the farm and many have watched the birth of our foals.

This morning I went through your website. Very informative.

I was touched by your foal orphan discussion. Several years ago we lost a foal just after birth. The mare stayed with the foal all day and never gave thought to stepping away. She actually 

appeared to grieve. At any rate, our vet referred us to another farm that had lost a mare at birth but the foal survived and they were hand feeding it.

They brought the foal over that afternoon and after blindfolding the mother we switched out the foals. The response of the mare and foal to each other was immediate. 

The kids named the foal Blessing. Many wrote about this in their classes.

Thank you for you time and consideration.

Thanks Cyberfoal!
My sleepless nights are over. Baby now has one mother. The mare I
posted is in Maryland with an orphan whose mom never got up after
foaling. Baby and surrogate are doing just fine. I thought I should
let you know.

We have a nurse mares business and a go all over the U.S. Several mares available and we also have clients bring their foals here to save money. I have listed our farm, Circle Creek Farm on you listing page but it says for only 4 days. We will have mares through the end of summer and sometimes later. Our numbers are 859-272-1835, 859-533-2853, 859-509-4787. Thank you and I hope we can help someone. P.S. Our foals are raised by us and fillies are kept and colts sold when older. They are taken very good care of.   Robin Barnes
We thank you for your comments and although we clearly state we do not support the business of nurse mare farms, we appreciate your honesty in wanting to use this free service. The Cyberfoal objective is to offer a mare having lost her foal at birth by natural causes to a foal having experienced the same, failing this to raise them by hand. Although nurse mare farms do have their uses when colostrum is required,  the manufacturing of self made orphans does little for our industry image, although we are all free to make choices.

just a tip if your horses are in danger of natural disaster: as fire chief of a fire dept in b.c. i was actively involved with the forest fire dangers in b.c. last summer. there were problems evacuating horses and livestock , some people had to move so quickly they just turned there horses loose. the problem came after the danger had passed trying to find there horses, i would suggest if you ever have to do this take any paint you might have in your garage and paint your ph # on the side of your horse,(now i bet your all laughing) trust me it does make it easier for someone to notify you where your horse is and the paint will either wear off or you can shave it off at least you stand a better chance of getting your horse back.
