Camp a HUGE success! Thank you!!

Thank you to all the parents who worked so hard and to the kids for being so much fun! Camp was a huge success this year; it just keeps getting better!
Next up, mounted meeting/show prep on Friday evening for those attending the 'D' Series show in Des Moines, and then it will be time to get our Games team together for practices for the MidWest Games Rally!
See you soon!

Bridget

It keeps coming; thank you!

We are going to have so much fun sharing all your very special donations and offerings with the families tomorrow night!  SBPC will be hosting a pizza party and gift celebration tomorrow night so that our kids can open some boxes and get very excited about the wonderful items that you have all been sending us; thank you!

The gift certificates and checks are most gratefully received; it is nice to feel that we have some long term finances as this will not be over quickly!  Vet bills and supplies won't stop and then there is the rebuilding; from fencing on!

Dixie and Brody are both doing well - wounds improving!

THANK YOU!

Bridget

Update Day 6!

Good news!  Almost a week and both Dixie and Brody are doing better.  Brody's wound had started to become infected, so some of the stitches were removed and the wound flushed out...nasty business, but he will feel so much better now!  Dixie is on water therapy now for her wounds and that dead muscle is sloughing out of the big wound.  We still have bone exposed on her foreleg which might need to be shaved, but the wound is clean and not infected, so we are waiting a week or so to see how things go.  Dixie has dropped a lot of weight, so we now are feeding Omegatin as she turned up her nose at the Health-E Oil.  Gunnar is not nearly so fussy, so he gets the oil to put some pounds back on.

Both families now have houses to move in; no more hotel living....yay!

Items have started to arrive and we are thrilled  and excited as everything comes in - Lizzie, Michael, Breanna and Ashley can't wait to have their own belongings to take/bring to lessons and/or meetings!  Again, thank you one and all!

Tornado Relief Contact

Thank you so much for all the outpouring of concern and promises of items coming for our PC families! We appreciate you! If you have questions about what to send, please call Bridget at 319.504.7671 or email at bryson.bridget@gmail.com. The address for shipments is:
32110 Westbrook Street
Cedar Falls IA 50613
Right now we are regrouping as boxes and deliveries come in - thank you to Hunter Oaks Riding Center, the first box of goodies to come to my house! If you would like to send money, please make everything out to Silver Bits Pony Club; we have opened a relief fund and those monies will be used towards horse care and vet bills.....eventually, hopefully towards filling in the needs that we can't fill through items that we give or have sent. If you would like to specify how you want the money spent, please don't hesitate to let me know!
Thank you for putting the smiles back on these wonderful PC kids' faces.
