Hi,
I saw this idea posted on the Tim Woolley Racing website from the Fans of Barbaro. Just an idea but if it saves one horse from slaughter, it works!
This is an excerpt from the thread.
"I just get off the phone with Victoria of Last Chance Corral and I have an idea for a challenge to any REALTORS out there.
I always buy a closing gift to give to a Buyer or Seller after the successful sale of their house, usually a $200 gift certificate for dinner. From now on, for $250 I am giving them a framed picture of one of Victoria's foals with a plaque on it explaining that this foal was saved in their name. She is sending me photographs of individual foals and I will name the foals after my client's last name and put it on the plaque. They can put it on their piano and evey time someone asks about the baby horse, they can tell the story! That way, we save lots of foals ( I am the #3 selling agent in my state) and the word gets out.
I am challenging anyone else in real estate or a business where giving a gift is appropriate to do the same!
Saving the world, one horse at a time."
Thought this might work for marestare cares too. Any thoughts on this?

;D This is a brilliant idea, more ppl should do it, in their day to day lives( birthday presents, wedding anniversary gifts, and other special occasions). Hopefully all the smart ppl at Mare Stare Cares can think of a way to make it work! ;D

HI. I've looked everywhere for the original post and I cannot find it. Yikes! Here is the website it was on www.timwoolleyracing.com/news/2007/03/barbaro_updates_227.phpThis is where every FOB (Friends of Barbaro) can stay tuned to local info about Barbaro, Lael Farms, New Bolton, etc. There are so many foundations that save horses from slaughter. The Grace Foundation in California is also trying to save as many as they can as well as Last Chance Corral out of Ohio. And for racing fans, Old Friends in Kentucky has retired race horses. These are just a few examples but just the same with horses can be applied to cats/dogs that are residents at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. I believe its called "sponsorship". Just a few thoughts. Sorry I couldn't find the link.
