I have found out that they will be adopting these horses out of state as well. If anyone is interested, pm me and I will be glad to give you the email address where you can fill out an adoption form. I do not know yet the cost of the adoption, but will keep you updated as I find out more. LaVonne Edited: Here is the reply I had back to my email where I spoke to one of the representatives for Rescue for the horses and this is her reply about getting the word out to others: Oh please keep spreading the word, I'm so glad there is interest w/in your group. My fax is 615-251-1056 (just put a little cover to my attention on it). You can tell the USHS folks that you're in contact w/ the VEA. I hope to know more details after my visit on Thursday. Thank you so much for helping. Cindy B. Gray, Administrative Asst., Harwell Howard heyn Gabbert & Manner, P.C. 315 Deaderick Street, Nashville,TN 37238.

Oh thank God they have an overload of feed. Bless the hearts of everyone In Tenn that is helping these poor animals. Blankets are a good idea. If you go there Slipslider will you see if they need blankets and post it here. If they do, I'll send a couple. I can probably afford at least 3 blankets. I can skip a bill or two for this. Animal cruelty should have been a felony many, many years ago. I can't say on here what I'd like to do to people who do this. hb1 I just read the last post. I'll be waiting for a link to the adoption form. Thanks Lavonne.  Last edited on Thu Dec 3rd, 2009 02:32 am by A Star in my Pocket ____________________ Listen!

Anyone that may be interested in adopting one these animals can contact Cindy Gray, her address and such are in the post above or you can fax to: 1-615-251-1056 and put to her attention. She can send an adoption form out to you. I have emailed her and asked if there is anything that are needed for them and am waiting for a reply.

Here is another update. This is an email I received from Cindy after she went to see the horses herself. She is a member of the Volunteer Equine Advocates in Tennessee. Hey girls, Good morning! I wanted to let y'all know about what I learned last night at the fairgrounds re: the horses. Y'all would NOT believe the amount of supplies they have. EVERYTHING is brand new, every horse has on a brand new halter, my gal w/ the VEA said if the USHS folks want something they just go buy it. The donations have been pouring in and there were mounds of hay, palets of feed, you just simply can't imagine. The VEA is one of 4 rescue groups that will be taking the fosters. That means about 20 horses per group. The horses will be there thru Christmas. Then they'll be taken to the group's barn (the VEA barn is in Gallatin). They're not going to allow fosters to be picked up at the fairgrounds, as they don't want all the trailers in and out of there. I'll be involved in the transport to the VEA barn (if my work schedule permits) and I will let y'all know when that happens. There are some "red zones" that horses are quarantined in and you have to step in buckets of disinfectants when you leave these areas. If you go, wear your muck boots. None of the horses have died, and honestly they look pretty good (not as bad as Whiskey was, I had prepared myself for the worst). They had all been groomed already. About 40 volunteer farriers where coming in today. There were volunteer vets there last night, and have obviously been there all the last week as well. If you go, take your ID, you have to sign in and sign a waiver. In the "rules" sheet they gave us they say all visitors have to coordinate w/ the shelter manager. I'm guessing the USHS will email y'all back w/ those details since you'd inquired w/ them. Its a little political, they don't want the groups talking about which horses they want, and some ladies were already laying claim on certain horses, but I understand that the VEA gets first choice on our 20 horses (since they assisted w/ the transport from the farm last week). There were some real beauties girls....I've got a little fixation on a 3 year old stallion, spotted saddle horse, Blaze.....but I'm not sure if my mom will let me take in another one! But I spent a lot of time w/ Blaze last night and helped spread shavings and held horses while folks changed their water and stuff. LOTS of volunteers that are not horse savy, so they needed people to help w/ handling the horses. Maria, I'm so sorry I totally forgot about the chickens cause I got so taken w/ all the horses. The chickens were not there, but I'll ask Brenda next time we chat if anybody knows where they are. Sorry girl! I went into total horse mode! I'll give Brenda Lees w/ the VEA y'alls email addresses. She is a bit stressed and very busy right now trying to contact all the foster applicants and do phone interview and reference checks. I've told her about y'all, and when I asked her about the blankets, and what specifically is needed, the answer is money (tho vets volunteer their time, wormers and vaccines stil have to be bought). There will be continuing vet expenses and we're hoping that the USHS will divide all the surplus donations amongst the groups and send the stuff w/ the horses. But I don't know if thats how they'll do it. If you have people that want to donate blankets, the VEA would gladly take them, but at this point, the greatest need is for funding. OK, I think I've passed along what I know! I'm so glad to visit w/ you girls and I can't wait to see ya in person! Thanks for all your interest in this....I'll let y'all know when we're moving them to the VEA barn and you can come visit there easily, with no pressure to foster or adopt, just see what its all about. Happy Friday!
