Congratulations to Emily, the little ShihTzu who has now gone from a dog on the verge of being thrown away at a puppy mill for having the wrong coloring to the winner of TMER’s Spring Photo Contest.

She barely nudged out Sassy & Justin – the voting was close, but Emily’s friends and family came through for her.

We’ll be in touch to make arrangements for your prize – you’ll be treated to some serious pampering at Excuria Salon & Day Spa.

A big THANK YOU to all those who participated. Not only have you helped us raise more than $250 – all of which will go toward feeding the horses we have now – but you all gave us a glimpse into your lives to those who mean the most to you – your animals. And for that, we also thank you.

Get your votes in!

Just a reminder that there’s only a few more days left in the voting for our photo contest. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 17, and we’ll make arrangements to get that winner their prize.

And every vote counts – it’s a close one among the top contestants!

So get your friends and family involved, and get those votes in!

Photo contest submission – Molly & Betsy

This is a picture of my two favorite “girls” in the world, my 9 year old daughter Betsy, and my 17 year old quarter horse mare Molly. Molly was boarded at a ‘not so wonderful’ facility for about 9 years, and she came to live with us last September. She thoroughly enjoys being allowed to be a HORSE! She has taught me so much about companionship…and friendship….and about the ‘power’ of respect in a herd. We enjoy trail rides through our woods, with lots of interesting things to see. The only trouble….Betsy and I have to take turns riding!! Hopefully soon Molly will get a nice companion to complete our herd, and then Betsy and I can ride together. We are praying!

Photo contest extended!

We’ve had such an overwhelming response form people who are still interested in submitting photos to the contest that we’ve decided to extend the deadline to submit all the way until the day we announce our winner – March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day, for the Irish among us.) We thought it fitting that our ‘lucky’ winner be announced on a day that’s become known for luck – although, we’re pretty sure that winning has everything to do with our wonderful, furry friends.

Submissions can still be sent to tendermercyequinerescue@gmail.com, and the PayPal donation can be sent to cripleridge@wnyip.net. As soon as they’re received, they’ll be up on the blog and on the poll – so get those entries in and get your friends over to vote!

Let the voting begin!

We had a lot of amazing entries for our photo contest, and would like to thank everyone who participated and supported our efforts here. We wouldn’t be able to keep doing all that we do for horses in need if it wasn’t for our supporters – so a heartfelt thank you.

Now, on to the fun part!

We got several entries from some of our own placement families – it’s great to see some of our own horses doing so well, happy, healthy and loved. We remember them when they came to us, and seeing them now makes it all worthwhile.

We have a wonderful selection of pets from all different species, too! From cats and rabbits to goats and dogs, we hope everyone else is enjoying seeing these photos as much as we did.

Time to start the voting! Submit your votes for your favorite photo contest submission – only once, though. In case you’d like to go back and browse all the entries before voting, just select the Fundraising Efforts category on the drop-down menu to the right.
