1/1/09-HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I am hoping this year things will get better for the horses. This past year I have gotten over 50 phone calls/e-mails from people asking me to take their horses. We helped place as many as we could but sadly we had to turn many away. If you are interested in being a foster for Project Sage please e-mail me! We are in dire need of more people to open their hearts and stables to Project Sage horses. Tomorrow Archie comes back to us from his previous adopter. He is again looking for someone that will commit to him forever. He wants to take you on on the trails everyday and just have fun! If you are interested in the perfect trail partner please e-mail me. Thank you to Vito for providing a foster home for this sweet horse.

In 2008 over 20 horses were given a second chance because of the many people involved with Project Sage. I hope in 2009 we can double those numbers and get more people involved with Project Sage. If you have a minute in the day forward this web site to some friends and family members.

We could really use some Life Lines to help support the horses. It's only ONE DOLLAR A DAY!!! That will give that horse a trim for the month or help pay for the hay and grain! At the end of every month you send in your dollar a day and it is used for the horse of your choice.

It's a new year and Project Sage is in need of donations for hay, grain, vet bills, farrier bills, etc. Make your first donation of the year to a special Project Sage horse! Remember, no donation is too small. We have had many visitors latley...If you would like to visit any of the Project Sage horses please e-mail me. By meeting one of these amazing horses you may just become inspired to help us rescue more horses this year!

Happy New Year everyone and hug your horses...

Pictured on your right is Ginger with Sabrina, Regina, and her husband. They drove all the way to PA to pick up Ginger. They donated their shipping and took the whole day to pick this sweet girl up! Thank you guys for doing this last minute and giving Ginger and second chance at life. Also pictured on your right is Augie. He is looking for a monthly sponsor of $125 a month. If you are interested in sponsoring Augie please e-mail me!

Cosmo and Cassie pictured on the right both need new homes. They are both companion type horses. Please consider giving them a forever home. They have been with Project Sage for a long time and all they want for Christmas is a new mommy or daddy.

12/18- This past weekend we took in 2 new horses. A mini named Ginger and an appendix named Cinnamon. Both will be avaliable for adoption soon! Please don't forget to send your favorite Project Sage horse a Christmas card with a dollar in it (or more if you wish)! Our Pampered Chef fundraiser went great! Thank you to everyone who came out to support the horses.

A huge thank you to Jessica for taking Ginger in at the last minute when she had no where to go. A huge thank you to IHA for paying her bail. A huge thank you to Regina and Bree for driving to PA to pick her up. She sends her thanks and this Christmas she will be in a warm stall instead of on her way to Mexico.

A huge thank you to Bree for waking up early and picking up Cinnamon with me. A huge thank you to Vito from Greenlawn Eq Center for giving him a place to stay.

A huge thank you to Judy G who bought new magnetic bell boots for Cassie to try to help some of her problems. A huge thank you to my fosters Darlene, Jessica, Regina, Eileen, Jackie, Cara, Denise, Meredith, Vito..I might be forgetting someone...

A huge thank you to Jerry for keeping the horses feet in good shape and always coming out when we need him. A huge thank you to Donna K for being a Life Line for Sal and always supporting Project Sage.

A huge thank to D&D farms for sending us a care package.

Lady is due to give foal ANY DAY NOW! Keep you fingers crossed for us...

A huge thank you to Taylor for selling candy to help raise funds for Project Sage. It was so nice to meet you at the fundraiser.

Dolly is now in Texas at her new home and she is loving it!!! Her new mommy reports that is doing very well. I got to see Grace the other day at her new home. She looks so happy.

We still need ONE more foster for the winter months. If you are interested please contact me. If you are looking for a nice dressage horse e-mail me. Cinnamon was reported to do 2nd/3rd level to dressage. He is bomb proof and a nice horse to be around.

This is going to be a bad winter for the horses so if you ever thought about helping in any way contact me. Our Chinese Auction is coming soon so if you have gifts laying around the house that you don't want/need think about donating them to Project Sage. If you get a gift certificate and you know you will never use it think about helping out the horses and donating it.

So many people to thank this time of the year...I am sure I will think of more...

Thank you Cara for offering her a home for the winter. She acted like she has been there forever. Dolly is leaving on Monday to go to her new home in Texas with Linda. Sal and Cassie BOTH still need foster homes! Please, if you are interested contact me! Also, please go do some reviews to help the horses. Check out the fundraiser page for info on this. It only takes a minute or two and you can raise money for the horses right from your computer chair!!!! It is a great way to help out! I hope to see EVERYONE at the fundraiser on December 12th. Everyone is invited!

Tomorrow is a day for giving thanks. This past year many horses have been rescued through Project Sage with the help of many people. Thank you to Jessica, Darlene, Conni and family, Lisa, Laura, Jerry, Dr. John, Meredith, Denise, Regina, Bree, Donna. . .There are so many people to thank and I can't even think of them all now. If I missed you I am sorry! The horses send thanks to everyone too! All of the fosters make the rescue happen. Without them these horses would have no place to go. Thank you to everyone who helps out everyday! Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!

Today is a great day for the rescue. Grace has been adopted by Victoria and we are very excited that she is getting such a great home! Dolly has a pending adoption and when the contracts arrive the adoption is final! Dolly will be living in Texas with Linda! Thank you Linda for offering Dolly such an amazing home! She is looking forward to her big move. We have a fundraiser set for December 12th at 7:30. Pampered Chef and a few other vendors. Anything you order from Pampered Chef will be delivered to your home in time for Christmas! They make GREAT gifts!!! Cassie and Sal are still looking for foster homes for the winter. If you are able to help PLEASE contact me ASAP! Cosmo is going to his new foster this weekend, Regina. Thank you Regina for offering him a stall for the winter.

Thank you Lisa and Becky for helping Cosmo these past few months. With out you he would not be alive and he will be forever thankful! He is a great horse and he will find the perfect home soon enough!

Okay, so I said I was going to do this every day but this week was the Equine Affair. What a great event! Everyone should go to it. Equineaffair.com. Well, Cassie and Dolly are really looking for their forever home. They would REALLY like to stay together but I will consider seperating them. We are in need of donations for our winter hay so if you are interested in helping with a monetary donation the mailing information is on another page. Austin and Chloe are both now avaliable for adoption and both need training. An experienced rider would fall in love with either of these horses. If you want to stand out in the dressage ring next season Austin is your man. He is looking for someone to bring him along with NO JUMPING. Chloe needs an owner who will help her become a star. She floats around her paddock and we can picture her kicking butt in the show ring!! Salvato is also looking for his new home where he can go out on the trails and have someone to spoil him. He is a gaited horse and is a pleasure to ride. E-mail me if you are interested in any of these horses!!!

I am starting this blog so I can keep everyone updated on all the horses at Project Sage Horse Rescue! I hope to add pictures for everyone to see that I would have not otherwise put on the web site!

First off I have to start off by thanking Donna for sending us a care package. She sent us rolls of vet wrap, 2 huge jars of Corona, and 2 blankets! Thank you so much Donna. The horses love their new blankets! Donna is always helping me out and is also Sal's "Life Line".

Tomorrow Liberty will be going to be fostered with Denise with the option to adopt! Thank you Denise for offering a stall for the winter! I hope you fall in love with Liberty. She is an amazing horse. Billy is also leaving to his foster home with Meredith tomorrow. He is still available for adoption and I think he is going to make someone very happy. I have grown very fond of him.

We are still in need of fosters for a few other horses for the winter. If you are interested please e-mail me!!!

I think Sal and Billy would both be great therapy horses and I may be willing to waive the adoption fee to a good therapy program.

Jessica fosters Nina, Austin, and Chloe for Project Sage and she reports that everyone is doing good. Jessica adopted Yankee is July and says he is doing amazing. He has really come around!

Augie is also doing quite well. His foster mom, Jackie, told me he is like a puppy dog and he follows her around! I swear Augie thinks Jackie is his mommy. He got his feet trimmed last week and is walking good. Jackie says he is getting better with the farrier. I am sure Jerry is happy about that!

Sunday we will be at Oakwood at the swap meet selling items to raise money for winter hay and vet bills.

The Project Sage horses are looking for their forever homes so if you know anyone looking please have them contact us!

Jessica ordered us rubber bracelets to sell to raise money - Soon I hope everyone will be sporting around in their Project Sage rubber bracelets! We will be selling them on Sunday and at all of our fund-raisers!

I hope to type something everyday but bear with me as I get this up and running. . .

Enjoy your weekend!

Austin - His first time under saddle!

Going to make an amazing dressage horse with more training!
