WEBVTT 00:02.400 --> 00:05.033 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% >>When Maya and I first started doing this 00:05.033 --> 00:08.200 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% we had one little pony named Sassafras, 00:08.200 --> 00:11.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and now we're at the point where we have 47 horses, 00:11.666 --> 00:15.133 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% and it's kind of an amazing thing to see this journey 00:15.133 --> 00:18.166 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65% and to see what it looks like now. 00:18.166 --> 00:21.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% >>Today we're going to learn about a non-profit organization 00:21.133 --> 00:23.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% dedicated to serving horses in need 00:23.500 --> 00:26.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% and giving them a second chance at life. 00:26.233 --> 00:28.433 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% Join us as we visit with Maya Proulx, 00:28.433 --> 00:32.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Executive Director of Hope's Legacy Equine Rescue. 00:32.200 --> 00:33.700 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50% Come on! 00:33.700 --> 00:35.000 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% >>From my very first horse 00:35.000 --> 00:37.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% I had always had one rescue at a time, 00:37.566 --> 00:39.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and at a certain point I just decided that 00:39.766 --> 00:43.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% I wanted to be able to help more horses on a larger scale. 00:43.433 --> 00:44.833 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% >>Okay, so what is the story 00:44.833 --> 00:47.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% behind the name of this rescue? 00:47.333 --> 00:51.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% >>So Hope is actually the barn name for an off-the-track 00:51.200 --> 00:52.833 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% thoroughbred that I owned, 00:52.833 --> 00:56.200 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% and she wasn't actually a rescue but she was on the track 00:56.200 --> 00:58.500 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% to end up in a bad situation. 00:58.500 --> 01:01.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% She had only stopped racing about six months 01:01.533 --> 01:03.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% before I got her and she had already gone through 01:03.933 --> 01:06.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% five different homes at that point. 01:06.700 --> 01:09.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Since that's what we're trying to do for these horses, 01:09.133 --> 01:10.366 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% it really fit. 01:10.366 --> 01:13.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Well talk about the horses that you take in. 01:13.233 --> 01:14.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% What kinds of horses are these? 01:16.066 --> 01:17.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>So we take in all breeds of horses 01:17.366 --> 01:19.566 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% as well as mules and donkeys. 01:19.566 --> 01:23.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We take owner surrenders we also take in 01:23.000 --> 01:25.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% animal control seizure cases. 01:25.433 --> 01:27.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% They will frequently call us and ask us 01:27.766 --> 01:30.200 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% to house the horses during the case and then help 01:30.200 --> 01:32.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% place the horses after the case is over. 01:32.800 --> 01:34.466 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% >>So give us examples of, 01:34.466 --> 01:37.133 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% when you're talking about animal control cases, 01:37.133 --> 01:38.633 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% what's going on? 01:38.633 --> 01:40.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>So, the biggest one that we've been involved with 01:40.433 --> 01:42.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% of course is the Peacable Farm case 01:42.300 --> 01:43.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% up in Orange County, Virginia, 01:45.166 --> 01:48.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and, in that case there were 101 horses 01:48.966 --> 01:51.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% on the property that were in various 01:51.666 --> 01:55.433 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% different stages of starvation and many of them 01:55.433 --> 01:58.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% also had injuries that had not been treated. 01:58.366 --> 02:03.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Of those 101 horses our rescue took in 29 of them. 02:04.500 --> 02:07.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% At this point we had to euthanize six 02:07.200 --> 02:08.833 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and one had a heart attack. 02:08.833 --> 02:09.800 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% >>They were just too sick. 02:09.800 --> 02:12.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>They were just either too sick 02:12.100 --> 02:15.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% or had injuries that had not been treated properly 02:15.500 --> 02:18.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and because they had not been dealt with at the time, 02:18.933 --> 02:20.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% they reached a point where the horse 02:20.633 --> 02:23.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% was no longer able to be saved, unfortunately. 02:23.233 --> 02:27.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% They would not have had any good quality of life after that. 02:27.566 --> 02:30.066 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>So tell me what happens once they come here? 02:30.066 --> 02:31.300 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5% What happens? 02:31.300 --> 02:34.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>So, we bring them in and then we assess them 02:34.300 --> 02:38.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% for just their very basic health needs at that point. 02:38.600 --> 02:40.466 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Depending on their condition 02:40.466 --> 02:44.300 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% we don't do vaccinations and stuff like that immediately, 02:44.300 --> 02:47.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that's because their systems are just so depleted 02:47.533 --> 02:49.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% that their bodies can't really handle them. 02:49.900 --> 02:51.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>You have to move really slowly 02:51.400 --> 02:52.900 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% with everything you do. 02:52.900 --> 02:54.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% >>Yeah, and with re-feeding you know you start with 02:54.933 --> 02:56.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% just a little bit of hay at a time 02:56.666 --> 02:58.400 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and slowly increase them, and then you start 02:58.400 --> 03:00.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% adding in various different feeds 03:00.800 --> 03:03.433 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% but you do that literally a cup at a time. 03:03.433 --> 03:05.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% That's one of the hardest things. 03:05.833 --> 03:07.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% These horses come in and they're 03:07.933 --> 03:09.866 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% pretty much walking skeletons. 03:09.866 --> 03:13.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% The natural instinct is to want to just throw food at them 03:13.733 --> 03:17.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% but their bodies actually will start shutting down. 03:17.933 --> 03:20.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Their internal organs will start shutting down 03:20.533 --> 03:23.533 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% and you have to kind of restart them very slowly. 03:23.533 --> 03:27.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% (horse whinnies insistently) 03:27.600 --> 03:29.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% >>Their stomach knows, their ears knows, 03:29.233 --> 03:32.566 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% their noses know and they pace and they whinny 03:32.566 --> 03:34.066 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% and they wait for their food 03:34.066 --> 03:36.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and they're a little demanding about it now. 03:36.333 --> 03:40.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% It's awesome to see because it means that they're healthy. 03:40.933 --> 03:44.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% They can understand their surroundings and whats going on. 03:44.400 --> 03:45.633 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75% Yeah, its coming, Daphne. 03:47.300 --> 03:49.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>After they come from a bad situation, 03:49.500 --> 03:51.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% they can be brought somewhere like this 03:51.700 --> 03:54.566 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% and can be given the love and attention they deserve 03:56.066 --> 03:57.566 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% and really just be cared for. 03:57.566 --> 04:00.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% >>Yeah, its sad but you can't think of it like that, 04:00.166 --> 04:02.666 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% you got to think of it like we're here to help, 04:02.666 --> 04:06.100 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% there's no more sadness, leave that behind 04:06.100 --> 04:08.566 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and lets deal with being happy 04:08.566 --> 04:11.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and getting them big and strong for their future life. 04:13.000 --> 04:14.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% (horse whinnies enthusiastically) 04:14.766 --> 04:16.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% And he is even very happy, too! 04:17.933 --> 04:19.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>You had a horse come in that was pregnant. 04:19.133 --> 04:20.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% You didn't even know she was pregnant, Rainy. 04:20.800 --> 04:23.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% >>We did, yes, Rainy surprised us 04:23.866 --> 04:26.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% back a couple of weeks ago with a baby, 04:26.933 --> 04:29.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and my husband actually found it. 04:29.800 --> 04:31.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% He walked into the barn and 04:31.766 --> 04:34.366 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% there was this foal standing in the aisle way 04:34.366 --> 04:35.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% which was, I won't repeat what he said 04:35.900 --> 04:38.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% because it's not really suitable for television. 04:38.533 --> 04:42.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We had just started looking at her and thinking, 04:42.100 --> 04:44.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% boy she's getting a little round 04:44.700 --> 04:48.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and yet her spine and her hips were still protruding. 04:48.700 --> 04:51.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So she was still basically very underweight 04:51.566 --> 04:53.333 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% but the belly was getting big. 04:53.333 --> 04:56.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>But she just decided she didn't attach to the baby. 04:56.966 --> 04:58.200 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% >>She rejected the foal. yeah. 04:58.200 --> 04:59.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>And so now, who, who's with the foal? 04:59.933 --> 05:01.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% >>So, the donkey from Orange County 05:01.533 --> 05:03.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% is actually the babysitter right now. 05:03.800 --> 05:06.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% I think he's a little resentful of the fact. 05:06.400 --> 05:07.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>But they're together all the time, right? 05:07.733 --> 05:09.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>They are, they're together 24/7 05:09.766 --> 05:12.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and when the baby gets too rambunctious, 05:12.033 --> 05:14.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% the donkey just very gently puts him in his place 05:14.466 --> 05:16.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and reminds him of his manners. 05:16.466 --> 05:19.400 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% It's really wonderful. 05:19.400 --> 05:21.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>And then you had another horse that came through 05:21.333 --> 05:23.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% that actually had chemical burns. 05:23.700 --> 05:25.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Talk about that and what you had to do. 05:25.233 --> 05:28.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>Yes, so a number of the horses from the case 05:28.900 --> 05:33.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that Rainy came from actually had chemical burns on them. 05:33.633 --> 05:37.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% The owner of these horses poured pyrethrum on them, 05:37.966 --> 05:41.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% which is a cattle wormer, very concentrated, 05:41.766 --> 05:45.466 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% so we bathed them with Dawn, but then many of them 05:45.466 --> 05:49.800 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% lost huge amounts of hair because of the chemical burns, 05:49.800 --> 05:51.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and we didn't know if they would be able 05:51.766 --> 05:54.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% to regrow that hair or not and none of the vets 05:54.900 --> 05:57.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% that we spoke to had ever dealt with anything like it, 05:57.900 --> 06:00.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% but they have all regrown hair. 06:00.300 --> 06:02.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% Some of them it is a different color 06:02.066 --> 06:03.800 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% from the rest of their hair 06:03.800 --> 06:05.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and you can see the drip patterns 06:05.333 --> 06:08.233 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% on their sides from where it was poured. 06:08.233 --> 06:10.466 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% >>Well once the animals are starting to feel better, 06:10.466 --> 06:12.066 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% the horses are starting to feel better, 06:12.066 --> 06:15.266 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% then talk about their care everyday, they go walking. 06:15.266 --> 06:19.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% >>So yeah, many of our farms have daily turnout 06:19.233 --> 06:21.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% so they can be out in the field pretty much full time. 06:21.933 --> 06:25.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% We do have one location currently 06:25.066 --> 06:26.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% where they don't have any turnout, 06:26.566 --> 06:30.400 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% so I have amazing volunteers who come every day 06:30.400 --> 06:31.633 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and they take the horses out 06:31.633 --> 06:34.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and let them hand graze in the grass. 06:34.066 --> 06:36.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% And we've got a couple of small round pens 06:36.200 --> 06:37.300 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% where they can go out 06:38.733 --> 06:40.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and they really enjoy the interaction with the people 06:40.866 --> 06:43.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and it's great for my volunteers too; 06:43.366 --> 06:45.600 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% they like getting to know horses, and, 06:45.600 --> 06:47.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% see their personalities start to show up. 06:49.100 --> 06:50.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>It gives me a sense of accomplishment 06:50.800 --> 06:55.466 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% and a reason for being here and a reason for existing, 06:55.466 --> 06:56.766 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65% its something that I can help with, 06:56.766 --> 06:59.366 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% its something that seems so insignificant 06:59.366 --> 07:01.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% but then to these horses its just the difference 07:01.966 --> 07:03.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% between life and death in some cases, 07:03.500 --> 07:08.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% its really just giving them the love that they deserved. 07:08.333 --> 07:11.600 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65% >>My favorite part is running around, 07:11.600 --> 07:13.533 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60% it gets a lot of their energy out 07:13.533 --> 07:18.466 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% and seeing them very happy when they go out to graze. 07:18.466 --> 07:20.800 align:left position:15% line:5% size:75% >>She's doing really well, one of the biggest changes 07:20.800 --> 07:24.033 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% I've seen in Daphne and all of the other horses 07:24.033 --> 07:26.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% is their energy level, you know, 07:26.200 --> 07:27.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% when you first got them here, 07:27.600 --> 07:31.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% they kind of were lackluster and very low energy 07:31.233 --> 07:32.466 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% (horse whinnies energetically) 07:32.466 --> 07:33.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and now, as you can hear and see, 07:33.700 --> 07:36.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% they want to go outside and they have energy, 07:36.366 --> 07:37.800 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% they have muscle tone 07:37.800 --> 07:40.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and that's something they didn't have prior to getting here 07:40.233 --> 07:41.766 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% and getting some good care. 07:41.766 --> 07:44.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>How, how long do most of the horses stay with you? 07:44.300 --> 07:46.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% >>It really varies. 07:46.166 --> 07:50.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Some horses are in and out in a matter of a month or two. 07:50.333 --> 07:53.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% Other horses will be with us for a couple of years. 07:53.633 --> 07:56.866 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Usually if they're with us for a long time it's because 07:56.866 --> 07:58.466 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% they're not able to be ridden. 07:58.466 --> 08:00.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% They're just a companion horse, and finding people 08:00.833 --> 08:03.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% who want to adopt companion horses is really difficult. 08:04.933 --> 08:07.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We love it when we get an email or a phone call 08:07.900 --> 08:09.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% from someone saying we just want a horse 08:09.466 --> 08:11.000 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% to come sit in my field. 08:11.000 --> 08:12.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% >>And so how do you assess when they're ready to go? 08:12.966 --> 08:16.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% >>There's no exact science to it. 08:16.133 --> 08:18.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% Some of it's knowing the horse's personality. 08:18.700 --> 08:20.400 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% Depending on the horse, 08:20.400 --> 08:22.633 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5% we'll send them to a professional trainer for an assessment 08:22.633 --> 08:25.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% to see what they know, what they need to work on. 08:25.500 --> 08:28.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% Sometimes they'll spend a couple of months with a trainer 08:28.200 --> 08:32.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% getting them to the point where they are able to be ridden. 08:32.300 --> 08:35.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% Also, it's matching the right person and the right horse. 08:35.966 --> 08:38.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% I do have some horses that I will send out 08:38.033 --> 08:41.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% without doing training because I know the person 08:41.600 --> 08:44.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% or the person who contacts me is a trainer 08:44.433 --> 08:46.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% or has a huge amount of experience. 08:46.900 --> 08:49.666 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So it's a really individualized thing 08:49.666 --> 08:52.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% based on the horse and the situation. 08:52.433 --> 08:54.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>The hope is that they're all adopted, 08:54.233 --> 08:56.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% and so what's that process like? 08:56.366 --> 08:58.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>So, we have an adoption application, 08:58.300 --> 09:01.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and anyone who's interested in adopting a horse from us 09:01.233 --> 09:04.233 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% fills that out and that includes references, 09:04.233 --> 09:07.133 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% and we ask for professional references, like their vet, 09:07.133 --> 09:10.933 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% their farrier, anybody who is familiar with them 09:10.933 --> 09:13.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and their experience with horses, 09:13.900 --> 09:17.100 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% and looking and seeing what their other horses look like 09:17.100 --> 09:19.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and how they interact with them is actually 09:19.433 --> 09:22.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% one of the most reliable I guess, 09:22.200 --> 09:25.633 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% indicators of what the situation will be, 09:25.633 --> 09:27.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and then they come out and they meet the horse. 09:27.466 --> 09:29.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% They ride it if it's a rideable one 09:29.900 --> 09:31.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and we just make sure it's a good fit. 09:31.900 --> 09:35.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% We do a trial period, something between 30 and 60 days, 09:35.500 --> 09:37.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and the horse can come back to us at any point 09:37.366 --> 09:39.200 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% during that timeframe and they'll 09:39.200 --> 09:41.433 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% get their adoption fee back. 09:41.433 --> 09:43.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% Then our horses also come with a safety net 09:43.300 --> 09:46.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% where they can come back at any time in the future 09:46.500 --> 09:49.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% even if the person that we adopt the horse to 09:49.066 --> 09:51.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% ends up moving it on to somebody else 09:51.366 --> 09:53.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that horse can still come back to us. 09:53.400 --> 09:56.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% So basically the contract goes with the horse 09:56.033 --> 09:58.166 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5% for its entire future. 09:58.166 --> 10:00.900 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% It doesn't necessarily stay with one person. 10:00.900 --> 10:03.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% In fact, I just got some photos this morning 10:03.366 --> 10:07.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% from a woman who just bought one of our ponies 10:07.633 --> 10:09.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% from the woman who adopted it from us, 10:09.800 --> 10:13.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80% and she sent me these wonderful photos of her daughter 10:13.166 --> 10:16.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% riding this pony with this long explanation 10:16.500 --> 10:19.600 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% of how much they loved the pony, how wonderful she was. 10:19.600 --> 10:20.800 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% >>Oh, that is so great. 10:20.800 --> 10:22.066 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% >>How much they appreciated 10:22.066 --> 10:23.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% that they were able to get her and keep her. 10:23.800 --> 10:24.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% >>That's great, and I know sometimes 10:24.966 --> 10:27.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% people who have to surrender their animals 10:27.266 --> 10:30.233 align:left position:22.5% line:77% size:67.5% because they're not well, because they can't care for them, 10:30.233 --> 10:32.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% they sometimes set up Facebook groups 10:32.433 --> 10:35.100 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75% so they can keep touch and see how everybody's doing. 10:35.100 --> 10:40.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% So you started this organization in 2008 10:40.000 --> 10:42.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% and it's a non-profit now and you have 10:42.400 --> 10:44.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% some big goals for the future now 10:44.200 --> 10:47.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% so you don't have to lease land. 10:47.066 --> 10:51.133 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% >>We do because we are currently leasing or fosTerring horses 10:51.133 --> 10:53.500 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% on all of the properties that we're using, 10:53.500 --> 10:57.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and we are looking to purchase land 10:57.000 --> 11:01.166 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and build a barn and have one main facility. 11:01.166 --> 11:03.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We'll continue to use foster homes because for some horses 11:03.966 --> 11:05.733 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70% it's a better situation. 11:05.733 --> 11:08.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% They get a little more personalized one-on-one. 11:08.600 --> 11:11.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% But having one centralized location and 11:11.866 --> 11:14.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% having that security for the future 11:14.333 --> 11:17.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% that when horses do come back to us 11:17.566 --> 11:19.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% we have somewhere for them to go 11:19.233 --> 11:21.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% and somewhere for them to live out their lives. 11:21.633 --> 11:23.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80% >>People are gonna want to help, 11:23.133 --> 11:24.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% I know they're gonna want to help. 11:24.166 --> 11:26.133 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% So how do people get involved? 11:26.133 --> 11:27.566 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% What do you need them to do? 11:27.566 --> 11:31.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% >>The easiest way is to contact us through our website 11:31.333 --> 11:33.233 align:left position:12.5% line:5% size:77.5% which is www.hopeslegacy.com, 11:35.033 --> 11:37.133 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% and we need volunteers 11:37.133 --> 11:39.300 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% to help with just the day to day care, 11:39.300 --> 11:40.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80% the feeding, the stall cleaning, 11:40.966 --> 11:44.033 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% the brushing the horses, socializing them. 11:44.033 --> 11:47.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5% We need people to help with fundraising, of course, 11:47.366 --> 11:48.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% it takes a huge amount of fundraising 11:48.800 --> 11:51.300 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% to feed all of these horses. 11:51.300 --> 11:53.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70% We do need foster homes, and also just helping 11:53.000 --> 11:55.000 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% spread the word that we exist. 11:55.000 --> 11:57.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% We need folks to know that we are here 11:57.333 --> 11:59.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65% and want to help as much as we can. 12:01.433 --> 12:02.666 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% >>It's sad that its happening. 12:02.666 --> 12:05.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% You don't ever want to see a situation 12:05.266 --> 12:06.900 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% where animals are put at risk, 12:06.900 --> 12:10.133 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5% but the fact that we have a person in Maya 12:10.133 --> 12:13.233 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70% who is so well-educated and experienced 12:13.233 --> 12:15.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60% in how to manage these situations 12:15.533 --> 12:17.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5% is why we're growing the way we are. 12:17.933 --> 12:20.400 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5% Its pretty amazing to see it. 12:20.400 --> 12:21.500 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65% >>You're welcome. 12:23.366 --> 12:26.200 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60% (cheerful music)
