A Breezy saturday didn't slow us down!

It was a breezy Saturday. Today was the first of our Volunteer days for the Disney "give a day" promotion. We had a wonderful group of people who helped accomplish so much.

A special thank you to Kathy who helped clear the garden area and set things up for the day, as well as the many other things you did. I'm so glad we found your sunglasses!!!

Kathryn and Liana got down to the big business of little Tina. There was some trimming and much brushing to make our tiniest member of the herd even more adorable. Miss Ellie played guard dog while this "big" little project was completed. (OK OK... so she was really watching for bunnies) Tina was so soft and cuddly after, Kathryn almost took her home.

Thanks to the team efforts of Tanya and our volunteers Eryn, Adan and Stephanie there were many more projects completed. Our small round pen was relocated. Our old garden fence taken down and dismantled, donated wood was sorted and moved, old materials taken away, new materials brought back, and somewhere in there they even did some grooming!!!
It was great having you all and we look forward to seeing you again.
We hope you have a wonderful time in Disneyland, and don't forget to send us a postcard!

Despite a cold wind and non-cooperative templates, two of our board members Mesha and Tanya "hung in there" and set joists in 2/3 of our new shed row barn. A job well done... and thank you! for not getting blown off the ladders by the wind.

While all of the construction and projects went on, so did the running of the rescue. Feeding, cleaning, assessments and even a showing took place.
The girls from the Webb Ranch riding program put Shelby, Emma, Lordy and Duke through their paces. It was a pleasure seeing the young girls ride, (and ride well I must add) and I know the horses enjoyed the exercise.

We're looking forward to tomorrow, new volunteers and finishing up more projects. Past volunteers please call or email whenever you want to come down again, we welcome you back. If you would like to be a part of our efforts here at Lone Oak Rescue please contact us, we would love to have you.
