It's Unanimous! Reinstate Mister Albino!

HI FANS!
Winnie here, warming my back in the bright California sun and giving you the latest celebrity news. A month ago, I asked my fans to give an opinion on whether or not Mister Albino should remain as my Fan Club President. The response was overwhelming! Everyone agreed he should stay in office, as he has done a great job as my President. Even though I am not walking across country right now, my fans agreed there are plenty of things Mister Albino can do to help my fellow Mustangs. He's good at getting the word out, and a lot of folks still don't know we horses are in big trouble. For example, my relatives and friends in Nevada and other states are kept away from water sources, or rounded up and taken off the range, or worse (I don't like to talk about the worst part; it makes my stomach feel queasy).



I know Mister Albino wants to help all horses who need rescue. This week he traveled to the Springfield, Massachusetts Equine Affaire to learn more about our species. He wore his "Dixieland Drummer" t-shirt and told people about this fine race horse who won his first race but also broke his leg at the finish line. Dave Balz at Wyandot County Equine Rescue in Ohio accepted the horse last summer and I met him when I stayed there. Drummer told me race horses like him are given shots to make them run faster, and when they collapse, break a leg, or fail to win, many end up asleep--permanently.



On a happier note, Mister Albino ran into one of our former hosts, Barb Macon, at the Equine Affaire and they had a nice chat. She and her husband were exceptional hosts, helping us in Massachusetts just after we started out.

Anyway, when I told Mom about the opinion survey and how much everyone loves Mister Albino, she said she'd ask him if he still wants to be my Fan Club President. I told her Mister Albino can raise money for horse rescue places like the one in Ohio where my friend, Drummer lives.

Mom said our good friend and another exceptional host, Joyce Anderson, who volunteers at Peaceful Acres Horse Rescue, cares deeply about horses, too. Joyce recently sent her an email and Mom read it to me.

Joyce wrote, "Kill auctions run every single week in NY, PA, NJ and all over our country. It's race horses, work horses, recreational horses, show horses, and..." Pay attention, Fans!--even baby horses!--"foals who are considered a waste product on the production of Premarin. This has to end in this country and I will die trying to make that happen!"

Mom promised me she's going to see what she can do here in the west, to bring attention to these issues, in between her other chores. Today Mom and her filly, JayaMae, had to move 22 giant hay bales into the smaller barn, so Donovan, Asali, and Forest will have plenty to eat until Christmas. That's Mom up there on the big stack of hay. JayaMae said each one of those bales weighs more than her. I sure wish Mister Albino could be here to help!
