HELP REUNITE FARINELLI WITH HIS FAMILY!
Donation protected
AND BY DOING SO, ALSO HELP RESCUE HORSES AND EARN A TREAT!
My name is Farinelli and my best friend, Gulliver, has just died, leaving me very lost and utterly alone, as the rest of the family, including the mare to whom I lost my heart many years ago, is on the other side of the world. The good news is that my humans are planning a family reunion over there with me as the guest of honour. The bad news is that, unless we come up with a solution, it may break the bank, which has me seriously worried about the impact on my feed rations.
Sure Gulliver was old and doddery, almost 30 when he went. And he could no longer play as much, as we used to do. But he was like a brother to me, a friend with whom I could seek shelter and snuggle up against. We were together for 22 years. And I am only 25 (going on four, mind you, according to the vet). Just think about that for a moment. I was a kid when we met. We spent a lifetime together. Of course we had our moments but we were always friends. (For more about Gulliver's death see http://horsesandhumans.com/blog/2019/06/14/gulliver-is-dead-long-live-gulliver/.)
Yes, I’m getting on but the vet has given me a clean bill of health to cross the world. Why do so, you might ask. My humans say it’s because they need to care for me as I grow older but it would be far too expensive to move the whole family back to Australia and financially challenging to provide appropriate care with annual long-stay visits from the other side of the world, if I were to remain. Me joining everyone in Europe is the only viable option if they are to be able to care for me personally.
Besides, I have been promised a new career as an Equine Touch bodywork assistant. My humans, who are Equine Touch instructors, are going to carry out this bodywork on me in the presence of other humans who come to learn how to do this. Those humans then get to go back home and help their horses by sharing Equine Touch with them. Horses helping horses through humans ... wow, what a career!
Vicki says it is a very expensive business, getting me over to the other side of the world. It will really stretch us all financially. Does that mean less hay? Not really, surely? So that is where you come in. Vicki says that they have various things which they can use as treats for humans who can contribute to the cost of my trip, so you will get something in return for being generous. But perhaps the best treat is to know that you have helped reunite me with my family.
More importantly though, I have insisted on making a donation to those horses that are doing it a lot tougher than me. Because my humans work with rescue horses as Equine Touch bodywork practitioners and instructors, they support my good intentions.
FOR EVERY €5.00 THAT YOU DONATE TO HELP REUNITE ME WITH MY FAMILY, MY HUMANS WILL GIVE €1.00 TO ONE OR MORE HORSE RESCUE CENTRES.
So you think that’s great, do you? Well, how about this?
EVERY SINGLE EURO OVER AND ABOVE THE TARGET IS MONEY THAT MY HUMANS WILL GIVE TO ONE OR MORE HORSE RESCUE CENTRES.
Full financial disclosure and updates will be provided in the course of and at the end of this fundraising campaign.
Help! Can you help us please? Just a little?
