I am fostering a South Florida SPCA rescue this month and because he is young and very green, I thought this would be a great opportunity for a little training session. Tango is a great horse, who is very intelligent and willing. Please don't miss out on this special opportunity to be a part of helping Tango be able to find his forever home!</div>

It's that time of year, when you will find great tack & barn sales. Last weekend I attended one in Delray, Fl at the Sunshine Meadows Equestrian Center. This particular tack sale has been around for many years and I've heard has some great deals. Hot To Trot Equestrian Consignment will not be able to attend this sale, but encourage everyone to go support your local community and enjoy a great pancake breakfast while you are there!</div>

These are the latest rescues that the South Florida SPCA saved from a most deplorable fate. Although South Florida is known for it's great weather and beautiful beaches, we are also known for the ugly: we have some of the most illegal slaughter farms in the country. The majority of them are run by immigrants from other countries. There are sections of Miami-Dade county that are so remote and the agricultural patrols are so understaffed that they go undetected most of the time. Thankfully these few will have another lease on life. If you would like to donate to the South Florida SPCA horse rescue to help these and the 70 other horses in their care, please visit<a href="http://www.helpthehorses.org/">www.helpthehorses.org</a>.</div>

On August 3 in Miami the SFSPCA picked up this emaciated Thoroughbred mare along with 2 others that were living in squalor. As you can see by the picture below, that was their make-shift home, the ceiling not even tall enough for them to raise their heads. When the original breeder of this mare, (who goes by the name Silver and Smoke) Denzel Brendemuehl found out that the SFSPCA had rescued this horse, Denzel contact the organization immediately telling them they would take the mare back. According to founder Laurie Waggoner, this is the first time in over 20 years that the original breeder/owner has ever stepped up to the plate to come and get the horse that they bred. Hats off to Denzel and lets hope that Silver and Smoke will live out the remainder of her life a happy and healthy horse!</div>

This little guy may not look like much, but apparently he packs a nasty punch! Just recently someone reported finding remnants of this tiny creature in some alfalfa hay they just purchased in Brevard County, FL. This beetle is found only in Alfalfa or Alfalfa mixture of hays. I do not personally feed any hay with alfalfa in it, although each hay has its own set of issues from time to time so being diligent no matter what type of hay you buy is a good cautionary thing to do. I found this great article from the University of Kentucky giving great insight to this culprit: <a href="http://www2.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef102.asp">www2.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef102.asp</a>.

Do you happen to have a High School/College student that may be looking for a little work this summer and loves horses? This is a good article explaining what to do if you or someone you know may be looking to help out around a barn during summer camps. If it's volunteer opportunities you are looking for, you can always contact the SFSPCA (helpthehorses.org) to inquire about volunteering there. The age to begin there is 12.</div>

Yesterday I was browsing through Craigslist in their "free" section looking for scrap wood for a project, when I came along this ad. First off it's very disturbing to me that anyone would put an ad for a free horse on this venue. Secondly, this particular horse looked very familiar to me. Having been a volunteer with the SFSPCA for many years, I saw numerous horses come and go out of the facility. Some touched your heart in such a way that you never forgot them, others not so much. I decided to reach out to my Facebook friends, especially ones that remained at the rescue and others that were there when this horse possibly came in. Sure enough, I received a message from the founder and intake director Laurie Waggoner that this was Willow. Of course, when you adopt from the SFSPCA, you sign a contract with them stating that at any time, for any reason you can no longer care for the horse you promised to take care of and love for the rest of it's life, you can call and they will come pick it up. Well, I guess this individual didn't have the decency to do that and instead decided to place an ad for the free horse! When Laurie called, they said their daughter was headed off to college so they couldn't keep the horse anymore. In this picture Willow is underweight. I guess they didn't have the funds to keep feeding her either, as the "Must Go ASAP" statement really says it all. My message here is PLEASE don't adopt ANY animal, whether is be a cat, dog or horse unless you are sure that you are giving this animal a FOREVER home. And if you do and as we all know unfortunate things happen to everyone, and you can no longer care for it, please don't let it get so bad that the animal suffers. Most reputable adoption agencies will let you return the animal. If they don't, then I wouldn't even consider adopting from them…..</div>

Still not sure what your child is going to be doing this summer? Well, it's right around the corner and the last thing you want is a bored child at home driving you crazy! How about getting your child involved in horsemanship? It's a proven fact that learning to care and ride horses boosts self image in children and also boosts their confidence. Sir Walsh Horsemanship is running their summer program again this year at Top Notch Stables (24100 SW 122 Ave in Miami, FL) beginning the week of June 16th. Hot To Trot Equestrian Consignment is teaming up with Sir Walsh so that every new student to the program will get 10% discount on buying their riding apparel from us! Please contact Program Director Lynn Zuccaro today @ 305-522-2244 to reserve your child's spot in this fun filled, yet educational program today!</div>

Please contact Laurie @ laurie@helpthehorses.org for more information. And stop by the shop to check out the Mother's Day specials at Hot To Trot! </div>
