Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Budweiser Clydesdales help Purina surprise Far View Horse Rescue
Finding homes for horses can be tricky
sometimes so at Far View Horse Rescue we
work together with the horse and the
volunteers to get that horse to a level
where an adoption is possible.
Our focus is to help horses heal from
whatever problems they've had in the
past and then have them adopted out into
homes that are appropriate for that
particular animal. And our biggest goal
is to find a forever home for every
horse.
At Purina, it's a no-brainer for us to be
the title sponsor for a home for every
horse. Shelters like Far View you have a lot
of challenges in terms of what these
horses need when they arrive and to take
feet out of the equation and make sure
they have high-quality premium feed that
allows them to really get the animals
back on the right track, fits with our
belief that all horses deserve their
forever home. But it really is all the
volunteers that come to these shelters
and really work with the horses, that
make the biggest difference. We don't
have a single paid volunteer or board
member or director. Nobody gets paid here;
so we're all doing it out of the passion
of our hearts toward these animals. We
get about two calls a week and would
love to rescue all the horses we get
calls about, but that is impossible
so we we do our best. We write grants to
pay for the feed, but we are in a
position where we're facing winter, a
very harsh one
we understand coming up, and we have
exhausted our food budget - we really
have.
The volunteers here think that we're here
to thank them and show our
appreciation for all their hard work and
dedication. Which is true, but what they
don't know is that were also here to
surprise them with the delivery of two
tons of feed for the horses. We have some
special celebrity guests.
Thank you so much for being here today
on behalf of Purina we are so grateful
for all the work that you do here to
help rescue horses achieve the greatest
potential. And as you know this time of
year is a time for surprises. Today we've
got a great surprise for two tons of
feed is about to be delivered by eight
celebrity horses.
For a group of people who like horses
this was pretty much the best surprise
you could give us. Every aged person out
there lit up with excitement at seeing
these clysdales coming towards us and
behind it is a truck with 4,000 pounds
of donated Purina Strategy Senior
Care for us. That's like so much grain.
I've never seen that much green. Such an
amazing, amazing donation,
it means we can take on more rescues and
hopefully find good homes for them, and
it's just an unbelievable, unbelievable day.
It's an incredible gift. We are truly thankful,
pretty choked up. Thank you.
The fact that anybody cares what we're
doing, is just really really valuable.
