I love this idea. The post has been viewed over 2,200 times. If everyone who smiled donated $5… paypal.com/paypalme/thebridg…
I think it’s time for a ‘Bridle Shower’ for Amy and her new son. Vetting for both of them plus Amy’s cough/ fever antibiotics is adding up. Thankfully, everyone is doing well. Hay and feed plus Abner’s new shoes could also use some donations. Any amount is welcome, it adds up.

Omg his ears…
"As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen." ~A.A. Milne Amy (JC: Perfect Art) and baby… A good first day on earth for our sweet baby… oh how I love him already. Amy needs to be cleaned up so badly, I hate the shavings stuck literally everywhere, but it’s so unbelievably, uncomfortably, miserably hot that with all she’s been through she doesn’t really want to be messed with atm. Tomorrow, I told her. There’s always tomorrow… We had our vet team out on Thursday afternoon for Amy’s recheck and she was still pretty unwell, that cough wasn’t going away and the antibiotics she was on weren’t touching it. So we bumped up her medications and by last night she was feeling substantially better, the cough (and slight fever she’d been running) was completely gone. I had a feeling baby was coming, she really had perked up a lot. Our vet is due out later for a check, mama took a bit to pass her placenta but it made its way out and we’re in good shape now. Best to be sure about it all. Little baby has done everything right. He gets up, he nurses he wiggles and wobbles around, he sleeps, he talks, he has started to play a bit. He is friendly with us and loves to be scratched. He wore his little halter for a few minutes and was perfect when we put it on and took it off. And I still think he’s going to be gray. We still haven’t reached our June hay goal and since Thursday we’ve only received $100 (thank you Patty!) We’re counting our blessings that overall we have a healthy baby, but expenses are higher than normal because of his poor, emaciated and sick mama. With our now $990 vet bill (including Thursday’s visit) and our hay drive, we are $4,142.19 from goal with $2,847.8 raised so far this month. If you want to help with our hay/baby mama vet fund, links are below. We are so grateful for the help, truly.

If anyone ever wonders why it is important to donate and help save horses from kill pens, just watch this video below. 2 pregnant mares were saved earlier this month. One just brought this little guy into the world❤️this is why I donate and urge others to do the same🙏❤️🐎
"First steps on wobbly legs, a lifetime of running ahead." ~Unknown The Bridge Baby Watch 2026 Day 8… That’s a wrap! At about 1:15 this morning our girl Amy (JC: Perfect Art) delivered a healthy colt by Laurie’s Rocket. It was uneventful and textbook, thank God. Our sweet baby has so far done all he’s supposed to: stood, nursed, pooped, wobbled around like a drunken sailor. He’s bay atm but I think he’s going to be gray, it’s dark but I am suspicious… He’s super small but super strong and Amy did an amazing job. She’s a good mama and after lying down a bit post-foaling she is up and nibbling on hay, watching over her last foal and letting him nurse. I am so proud of her, she’s been through so much and used every bit of what she had to keep him alive in there. Well done, mama. I have stripped their stall and they have fresh bedding, we’ll have the vet out for all the post-foaling stuff in the morning and will update ya’ll then. Keep sending all the good vibes! 🩵🩶 #rescue #Texas #babyhorse #thoroughbred

Was not expecting the tears that came with the safe arrival of this precious boy. Thank you, @MargaretDammit. Thank you, Marlene @RACEFund. Thank you, everyone that helped get these mares to safety and made sure this foal was not born in a Texas kill pen. And to the industry that pretends they are a PR nuisance, including those who mean better but still shake fingers for bailing them…🖕

🆘🆘🆘🆘👉Update! We have gotten Miley picked up from the lot. She is thin, has a long trip and layover. We are now at $1905 so far for Miley. We need to raise $1170 more to reach goal. Please share and consider a donation to help us help Miley. Our PayPal Donation link is : paypal.com/donate/?hosted_bu… Thank you.
🆘🆘🆘🆘👉Update! Folks we are now at $1785 so far for Miley. We need to raise $1290 more to reach goal. However, after 5 days of fundraising it is doubtful we are going to reach goal. We need to get Miley picked up today & we are not going to let her down but if we cannot raise the rest needed it causes another financial hardship for us. We have had to pay extended quarantine board and vet care on several other horses we have rescued this year plus transportation to their final destination and it is draining us. We appreciate all of you very much who have donated so far. We will leave our donation link up a little while longer yet. Our PayPal Donation link is : paypal.com/donate/?hosted_bu… Thank you. 🚨👉Note: So many other horses are stuck at feedlots right now and we cannot help them without any substantial support from the industry. And once the MX border opens back up lots will be shipping quickly. @jockeyclub @BreedersCup @theTDN @PastTheWire @EponaInitiative @KateMaddenSC @RepoleStable @PatCummingsNTA @AnitaMotion @ThoroughbredRA

This is unsustainable and unacceptable. Please read it all. @RACEFund is doing the industry’s work with no help from the industry. @westlakeracing please keep following the money…

Ah, ohhhhhh...THE @BreedersCup IS INVESTING IN OIL, GAS AND MINERALS WHILE THE HORSE RACING INDUSTRY IS LEFT HOLDING THE SAND. BREEDERS CUP MISSION: PROMOTE AND STRENGTHEN THOROUGHBRED RACING. REALITY: BUILD A NINE-FIGURE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO. According to the Breeders' Cup's 2024 Form 990, approximately $1.85 million was invested in Yorktown Energy, an oil, gas and mineral fund. Meanwhile, the sport is told to be patient. Patient for fan growth. Patient for aftercare funding. Patient for leadership. Patient for solutions. The Breeders' Cup has become extraordinarily successful at one thing: ACCUMULATING MONEY! The question is whether it remembers why that money was entrusted to it in the first place. THE INDUSTRY DIDN'T CREATE THE BREEDERS' CUP TO BECOME A HEDGE FUND WITH HORSES. It created the Breeders' Cup to lead. Thirty years ago, a growing investment portfolio might have been a sign of strength. Today, while the sport struggles around it, it looks a lot more like HOARDING. Approx. $120 million in investments. $1.85 million in Yorktown Energy. And an industry still waiting for leadership. The newly elected and reelected members now face a defining choice: Become stewards of the status quo. Or become the leaders this sport has been waiting for. @BreedersCup

If the 1973 Belmont shows up in your timeline, you stop and watch.
Today in 1973, the greatest horse race in history was run. Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to become the Triple Crown winner and set a world record time that has never been beaten! 🎥: CBS Broadcast

If you have an interest in Golden Tempo's earlier days, the story has been located! pressreader.com/usa/daily-ra…
Satisfying result, having watched Golden Tempo from early days. Really admire the colt & the work @reredevaux & co have done. Wrote a long story that seems timely for today's @DailyRacingForm about his unusual development. Don't think it ever got posted online - maybe someday!

She’s super uncomfortable and I am exhausted already, but we’ll get through this together. Please pray for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. Her body is so thin and beaten up, but she’s protected the little being in there so well so far…
“Let choice whisper in your ear and love murmur in your heart. Be ready. Here comes life.” ~Maya Angelou Amy (JC: Perfect Art) We have a baby coming. She and I were up all night together, but she refuses to release the hostage. All signs point to imminent delivery. After eating about half of her dinner, at about 7:00 last night she lied down and began moaning. Loudly. I have never heard a horse moan so loudly. After about 20 minutes of that she got up and went back to stand quietly in front of the fans for a few hours. At about 1:00 this morning returned to nibble on hay, which she’s been doing mostly since. She did lay down for some rest a couple of times. She ate her entire breakfast and is back and forth between nibbling on hay and standing in the fans. It’s very hot and humid. I did speak to the equine center who stands the stallion she’s allegedly in foal to and she is ten days overdue based on their dates, but since I know nothing about her I don’t know if it’s normal for her, etc. Sweet darling, I just keep reminding her it’s safe. She’s safe. And I do think she knows. Beryl (JC: Vintage Beauty) is a good best friend, I had her separated over a gate for safety overnight but she stood near her friend constantly. They are together at the moment, which keeps Amy calm. They love each other so much, it’s sweet to watch. They have been through a lot together. We are doing the best we can... Since yesterday we received $426 toward our June hay fundraiser/pregnant mama vet bill ($660) and our total raised stands at $2,226, $4,374 from goal. Thank you for the donationsRose, Cynthia, Michael, Debra, Rachel, James, Tina, Christoper, Tiffany, we appreciate ya’ll so much. If you want to help with our hay/baby mama vet fund, links are below.

I shudder to think that one week ago she was in a kill pen. Praying that the neglect and stress this poor mare has suffered is not too much for her foal to overcome. She’s a daughter of Pleasantly Perfect and granddaughter of Mineshaft. Shame on whoever bred her then threw two lives away like garbage. Please help with a donation if you can.
