It seems this year that the theme has been, A Season of Giving.  Each time I do a life review of the past 12 months I cannot begin to count the number of ways people in our lives have reached out to give.

Selfless acts of kindness.  They should be given and received.

Yesterday Kirk and I visited our old friends Pat Miller and Roger Kavan at their horse rescue, Ruby Ranch Horse Rescue (www.rrhr.net). 

Pat and Roger embrace everyone who visits and they show a level of love and concern  for their animals that I’ve never witnessed at a rescue before.  The animals at RRHR are lulled by the calm and patient people that Pat and Roger are.  It is an environment that envelopes you the minute you enter the gate.

While we were there yesterday Kirk and I put our backs to good use and trimmed as many horses as we could while we were there.  Every one of them has a story.  Some have been abandoned, some shown and some have congenital defects but every one is a precious life to Pat and Roger.  Attentive and hard working these people give every day of themselves in ways that would put most of us to shame.

Having operated a farm we know the long hard hours of dedication that running a rescue must require.  Especially one that doesn’t cut the corners.  Pat and Roger spend countless hours each day making sure each horse is individually cared for.

If you don’t have a cause please support RRHR. 

They are doing the job of a 100 people and in this economy need all of the love, help and support from us that we can give.
