Help Make the Hooves and Paws Gala a Reality 
Live and Let Live Farm (LLLF) Rescue wants to launch a yearly gala to raise awareness and much needed funds. Some ideas for the event are a dinner, entertainment, live auction, raffles, and a game board. However, we need your help to make this gala a reality.
 
Do you have a friend or relative who owns a business, a time share/vacation getaway, or has a special talent? If so, ask him or her to donate an item to or become a sponsor of this event. Are you willing to spend some time networking to find fellow animal lovers who may not be aware of the farm and our mission? If so, tell them how they can help.
 
LLLF supporters must come forward to volunteer for this event. We are not asking for your money, but rather your time and effort to make this event a reality. Without your support, this event will not take place.
 
Over 60 horses and other animals at the farm need your help. If you are interested, contact Wayne and Lora Parsons at attudog@comcast.net before March 31, 2011.
 
We plan to have a kickoff meeting at the farm once we get committed volunteers. The date and time will be announced after March 31st. Remember the animals are depending on us; let’s not let them down!

 

 

Thoughts for the Day
“Quitters never win, and winners never quit.”
“Character is what to do when no one is looking. Always do what’s right, no matter what.”

 

“What Can Physical Therapy Do to Help My Horse?”
Jennifer Brooks, an equine physical therapist from Equine Rehabilitation Services in Brookline, NH, will hold a clinic at LLLF on May 14th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The clinic is open to volunteers and the public.

Her schedule is as follows: evaluate LLLF rescue horses (10 a.m.-12 p.m.); lunch break (12-1pm); a PowerPoint presentation of case studies to include the latest research and healing techniques and how PT compares with other healing professions followed by evaluations of privately-owned horses (1 to 4 p.m.) Call Jennifer at 603-566-6561 to reserve a 30-minute time slot that includes an assessment and treatment recommendations.

Prices with lunch are as follows: auditors—$10; participants—$25. Jennifer will donate all proceeds for the day to LLLF. Visit her website for more information: www.equinerehabservices.com.

 

2010 Year-in-Review
2010 was a busy and challenging year. LLLF gained several new volunteers and assisted endless animals and their humans in need of help from our outreach animal feed bank (Triple HHH program) and brought needy animals home to the farm.
 
Several new paddocks were completed with run-ins leading up to the indoor rehabilitation center thanks to Jerry’s ground work, Tom’s electrical expertise, Dave’s handyman work, and our United Way Day of Caring group.
 
Our first year with the LLLF fundraising partnership calendar (featuring LLLF’s own rescue animals) was a great success. Timberline High School was the first school to join the partnership.

 

Many businesses and organizations also joined in this venture that reaches into the community to encourage literacy and to support the well-being of countless animals coming to LLLF in need of food, patience, love, and care.
 
Established in 1997 and celebrating 2012 as our 10th anniversary since being incorporated, LLLF is excited to bring to life our golden 2012, 10th anniversary calendar. LLLF is honored to have the Grappone Automotive Group; Monterio Group Inc. Plumbing and Heating, 603-731-0047; Quantum Life Healing, 603-485-7246; the Rowley Agency, Inc., insurance, bonds & benefits, 603-224-2562; Mt. Washington Graph-FX & Printing, 603-356-9563; and Equine Rehabilitation Services, 603-566-6561 as sponsors. LLLF needs eight more sponsors to send our 2012 calendar to print.

Zero Balancing for Horses
Zero balancing (ZB) is a gentle, mind-body therapy that relieves body aches and pains, releases restrictions in movement and provides lasting relief from emotional distress to improve overall quality of life. Elliot Abhau, a certified ZB instructor, has adapted this therapy for horses.
 
On April 9th and 10th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Elliot will host a class at LLLF. The fee is $25 for Saturday with auditing on Sunday. If you want to attend both days and receive hands-on instruction on Sunday, the fee is $40, which includes lunch.
 
Saturday will be an introduction to ZB with demonstrations. Sunday will be a hands-on session using LLLF horses.
 
Sign up at LLLF before April 1st to receive a $10 discount off the two-day fee.
