Greetings!  Happy Valentines Day!
We hope you have a super happy day and that you are enjoying the new year! We are sending out this email to let you know that Nebraska's Senator Tyson Larson is trying to open a horse slaughter plant in Nebraska. He claims it will boost the economy of Nebraska. He is also trying to pass legislation that would punish the rescues in the state if they are unable to accept a horse. We believe his thinking is way off target, for LIVE horses contribute greatly to a community's economy, dead horses do not. Click here to read todays blog post about a hay seed and how that one little seed contributes to the economy of the community in which it is grown. There are many examples of how horses contribute to their local and the national economy, I chose hay because I throw, stack and unload and feed A LOT of hay to the horses.
