About the 15 minis rescued in Oregon by HART

[Jamie Cheslock]

Hello everyone. I am Jamie Cheslock. I have the 15 miniature horses that were rescued from a dump in Sheridan Oregon. I want to thank you all for the support I have received via telephone calls, emails and all else for these little angels. I have only had these horses for 4 days and I already love every one of them. The Sheriff's Office gave me the final word today allowing me to place them in their new homes and every time someone comes and wants one my heart says "No, please not that one!" because they are all so special in their own way. Unfortunately, if I don't let them go to their new homes I would be yet another hoarder and of course I can't let that happen.

I have updated my blog with photos of each of the minis and their feet if they were one of the 7 that had the really bad feet. I will try to remember to take photos of each pony with their new family as they are adopted out. The weakest of the minis will remain in my care until they are healthy enough to be sent off to new homes. I'm estimating that I am faced with $2000.00 to $3000.00 in vet bills for the ones that will remain here with me and am so very grateful for all of the donations that have been comming in to help me with all of this.

I'm exhausted, my back hurts, my feet have blisters on them, my hands and arms are bruised from trimming feet on fractious ponies and my fingers are stained from cleaning rock hard balls of horse poop off ponies so I'm going to bed.

Thank you so much, all of you.

Jamie

NOTHING gets me as angry as seeing stories like that...........

Jamie, this is Gini the Treasurer of Chances Miniature Horse Rescue. We had a board meeting tonight and tomorrow I will be calling the vet you gave Kay. CMHR is contributing $1000.00 towards the vet bills for these horses. The money from the CMHR treasury comes from the members of this LB forum who have graciously donated their money and items for our auctions to help with situations just like this.

We will keep checking back with you to see if there is anything else you need.

Bless you for caring for these horses.

I wanted to pop in and give you all an update on the 15 minis. I had several volunteers come and and help me clean them up so now every one of them is completely cleaned up and treated. Seven of them have been placed in their new homes. The remaining minis will stay with me until they are more stablized and ready for adoption.

A friend of the defendant contacted me with all of the names, registration information, breeding etc of each of the minis and I have updated my blog. You might want to go and take a look, some of them seem to have some fancy names.

http://lighteningsblog.blogspot.com/

Donations continue to come in. I have a vet tech comming out to look at all of them to see who needs their teeth done first. Because this is the breeding season, the vets are pretty booked up so I can only get one appointment per week for the teeth so we want to make sure that the ones that need it the most are done first.

Thank you everyone for everything and I will do my best to keep you all informed.
