The Lido Fund

Stop reading for a moment and go to the home page of the Horse of the Americas Registry where you can read about the Lido Fund.

Now that you understand a bit about the fund I hope that you can see why this post has a bit of a tone of urgency to it. It would be best if you helped out today--right now. The fund has a request to assist in the placement of an older Spanish Mustang mare so that she can become the first mustang of a young teen that has put her heart into working with individual mustangs and preserving the historic and very endangered breed itself.

Kids like her will be the determining factor as to whether or not these horses go extinct. I very much want my great grand children to ride Colonial Spanish horses and that will not happen if more young people are not drawn into the preservation effort.

If everyone of you that reads this blog in a day sent in a one time contribution of $10.00 we could do a lot more to preserve these horses. The HOA agreed to administer this fund to honor Lido after his death. Donations are not tax deductible.

I got a bit overheated in the sun yesterday and I find myself waking up with a fierce headache. Were that not the case I would be happy to give you some kind of touching, profound explanation as to why you should send a donation to the Lido Fund.

As things stand, about the best that I can tell you is that it is the right thing to do. If you have anything more important to do with $10.00 today than helping provide a home to a horse that needs a home and a horse to a girl that needs a horse, then by all means do that. If not, send the HOA that $10.00 for the Lido Fund.

If I ever made it possible for you to have your first mustang, consider sending in $20.00. That would amount to a lot of $20.00 donations. (This is as close to arm twisting as I can get.)
