Arizona 4-H Horse Bowl Team is Competing in Denver in January!
spacer (1K)
But they need YOUR help!   Horse Bowl is a quiz competition where teams from all over the U.S. and Canada test their knowledge of the equine industry.  "We are looking for donations to pay for uniforms, plane tickets, contest registration fees and lodging", says team coach, Dru Alberti.  "I'm really proud of the time and attention the kids are giving to prepare for the competition, but without the financial support of the equine community, we won't get there."  These kids are the future of the equine industry in Arizona, so please support their efforts.  The bulk of the fees are due during the first half of November.  You can make a tax-deductible donation to AZ 4-H Horse Bowl Team 2009 · c/o Dru Alberti · 8644 E. Via del Oro · Queen Creek, AZ  85242.  Call Dru at 480-766-2830 or contact her via email at hippology@queencreek4h.org

A Passion for Horses, An Expertise in Audio!
spacer (1K)
There are numerous studies that validate the benefits of music for animals as a source for healing, to relieve stress, combat depression and encourage relaxation.  Many veterinary offices and animal behaviorists play music for their animals.  Dr. Brian Hoelscher, Country View Veterinary Service, Oregon, WI says, "music helps with injury recovery".  "Many of the higher end stables recognize the benefits of having music playing in their barns or stables providing a more relaxed atmosphere, and greatly helps a horse recover."

Moving a Horse?  Move the Music with the Horse!
spacer (1K)
After a horse has been relocated, even though the rest of their surroundings may be unfamiliar to them, the music will be the same.  This helps them to feel more at home, and to better assimilate into their environment.  But the benefits of soothing music aren't just for stressed animals!  Well-adjusted companions will also respond to, and appreciate, the inclusion of music into their environment. 
Please feel free to visit the Educational Page on the Equine-Audio website for additional resources to validate the healing and soothing effects of music.

Hacienda de los Milagros (Home of Miracles)
A non-profit lifetime animal sanctuary in Arizona
spacer (1K)
We understand that many humans are having a tough time, and most, if not all non-profits are feeling the crunch.  Sometimes the best way to stop feeling sorry for yourself is to try to find ways to do for others.  And some ways to help others don't even require money or time, just thoughtfulness!  For instance, www.iGive.com gives up to 26% of sales to charities, and without you paying a dime more!  If you shop through iGive and designate Hacienda de los Milagros as your charity, the 135 burros, 1 mini jack burro, 33 horses, 3 mules, 2 hinnies, 2 miniature horses, 3 ponies, 2 llamas, 10 rabbits, 16 cats and 2 dogs will thank you!  Other ways to help?  There are matching contributions, products and more on the website at www.HDLMSanctuary.org
