There is a very special group of young people we would like to tell you about.
On Thursday evening, May 10, Bruce and I were still reeling from losing Trixie the night before. As you know, this has been a hard year for Misfit Acres as we have lost three beautiful horses. It was one of those times where we just do a lot of contemplating that maybe this is just too hard and maybe we shouldn’t do this anymore. I don’t think either of us could really give this up, but the sadness of losing “one of the kids” is pretty strong. Anyway, the phone rang about that time. It was an instructor from Lake Crystal Welcome Memorial School. She explained to Bruce that the students - K - 6 gr - had seen the article about the Sanctuary Horses of Misfit Acres in January. These young people took it upon themselves to make a real difference. They organized a “Pennies for Ponies” drive in their community with all donations going to Misfit Acres. She would be sending a cashier’s check for over $423 for the horses. This arrived on Tuesday.
I swore that Jasmine was behind the man we met at the airport (see “Very Kind Man” entry). And now I am just as certain that Trixie was behind this act of kindness.

Saving one horse may not
make a difference in the whole world,
but it will make a world of a difference
to that one horse
