This is Sue, a beautiful and much-loved equine, who recently celebrated her 25th birthday. Her best friend Leah, threw her a birthday party with a unique theme — instead of gifts for Sue, Sue asked for donations for SAFE.
Here is a letter that Sue wrote to her friends:
Oh, what a birthday celebration I had! This is Sue, the talking horse here. You know, the one having to stand still while Leah’s friend Darlene is taking my picture, while I’m wearing this stupid party hat and the neighborhood is driving by staring at me standing next to this giant inflatible birthday cake. Geesh. What I will do for Leah and her goofy ideas.
BUT I liked this idea for my horse friends and I truly THANK YOU for all the wonderful gifts and cards! Can you believe it? You all donated 9 bags of feed, over 20 kinds of blankets including coolers. There are hoof picks, brushes, bathing brushes, combs, shampoos, rubber bands for braiding manes and tails, halters, a lead rope, saddle pads, sleezies, grain bowls and buckets, vitamins, MSM and a very fashionable tail bag! The volunteers even got a bag of candy.… minus two pieces of chocolate that Leah ate. You also donated $450.00 that can buy hay! WOW!
Leah and her friend Nona delivered all the loot today to SAFE and they were sooooo pleased and surprised by how much there was. It all should be put to good use easily.
SAFE is in Monroe on 15 acres. They have just added some new shelters and paddocks. The horses have a whole lot of room to enjoy pasture life. There is even a covered arena. SAFE is truly a nice place to be happy, healthy and horse-around! Look up SAFE on their website and see for yourself what good things these volunteers, who are dedicated to horses are doing.
Leah and I thank you so, so much for helping these horses or whichever cause you might volunteer for or send your donations. What great humans you all are!!
Love Sue
