Days End Farm Horse Rescue, Inc

We have just posted the sign-up sheet for the Costume Contest at this year's Fall Festival on October 2nd. Anyone interested can sign up at the volunteer sign-in desk.

The list of horses is final and is organized by their color levels. Some horses' color levels have been raised for the contest due to the uniqueness and potential "spookiness" of the event. We will not make an exception to color levels and also will not be adding horses to the list.

Please be sure to sign up for a horse that is at or below your color level!

All costumes must be approved by either Erin or Brittney by Saturday, September 25th.

If costumes are not approved, you will not be permitted to participate in the contest.

The costume contest starts at 1pm during our Fall Festival on October 2nd. Dressing up the horses and getting them ready will start in the designated barn areas at noon.

Thanks, have fun making your costumes, and good luck in the contest!

To all volunteers -

We will be hosting a training meeting for all volunteers interested in helping out with the Girl Scout Horse Lovers Badge days. Girl Scout days usually fall every Saturday from 1-3pm during the school year. Girl Scouts receive an educational talk and tour, as well as a grooming and tacking demonstration, and finally a pony ride. If you are interested in helping with any or all aspects of this program, please try to attend the training meeting:

This Saturday, September 4th, at 11:30am in the Pavilion.

Please contact Caroline at volunteer@defhr.org if you plan on attending this meeting, or if you cannot attend but still have an interest in participating in the program. Thank you!

Volunteers we need to borrow the following:

a 48’ ladder, a 60’ ladder, and a walk board.

Does anyone have either of these items to loan to us for a couple weeks?

Please urgently let me know - volunteer@defhr.org.

Thank you,

Caroline

DEFHR Volunteers,

On Monday, August 30th from 2:00PM to 5:00PM the Volunteer Lounge will be CLOSED to DEFHR Volunteers.

DEFHR was selected to be the backdrop for a contemporary clothing boutique's fall line photo shoot. We are really excited about this opportunity and to help accommodate the photographer, his equipment, models, clothing changes, and assistants we offered them the use of the lounge.

I realize this is an inconvenience but your understanding and patience will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to use the feed room to store you personal items and the main house kitchen for breaks.

Thanks so much.

Kindest Regards,

Caroline
