Description
Thats right! A fully customized horse model of your very own! The ONLY thing you pay is shipping. You pay it directly to the postman who delivers your package. Not me! No paypal, credit cards, or online scams!Check out my blog to see the journey I'm taking to help stop a Two year old Shetland Quarter pony from becoming a Pasture bound Brood mare.
This pony was one I took under lease when she was just a year old. I've worked with her a lot, teaching her ground manners and I hope to one day teach her how to drive. This pony saved my life, at the time I was suffering under a crushing depression that wasn't helped by my troublesome family life. Working with her kept me sane and has allowed me to break my depression without the use of medications that numbed me.
Now, because of family troubles I'm being forced to move over a thousand miles away to Tucson. I'll be forced to give up her lease and her owner will breed her to offset upkeep costs. If I can move her I will also be able to get her professional training that will further her education.
I dearly wish to keep my pony with me, but the cost to ship and buy her will be about 1,000$. This is more money then I can make on my own in the short period of time I have. So to raise awareness of this situation and hopefully get some support, I've started a Blogspot blog about her, which will also contain a lot of free art.
The only thing you pay is shipping when the package arrives . NO payment will go to me. enough entries I will include shipping FREE.
Rules of the raffle
1: Up to three entries per day. You can enter multiple times a day.
2. Just comment on my blog post about the raffle. Tell me what you think about the blog!
3. You do not need to pay me ANY money directly. If shipping isn't covered by my you will pay the post office/mail man, not me.
4. Spread the word, if you want.

Yeah, I can't even find him in the catalouge. I'd be better if I know what breed he was. But I have... no idea. XD I think it might be lusitano, but I can't remember.

I'm not sure, a good pricing guide is about 1$ per mile. So it'd probably be 236$

Yeah, it kinda sucks. But right now my options are kinda limited. If my parents move and I stay here I wont have a home unless I buy a dorm room or an apartment. But I wont be able to support that for very long and Truffles wont be trained.
So I just have to buck up and work hard to get her to a good place. ^^

Yeah. And it's over something really stupid, too. My sister moved away to Florida so they are just following her. It's too humid and ponyless in Florida, so I'm going to Tucson. xD I'm sure it'll work out, even if I have to take up ten jobs and sell all my blood I will. A promise is a promise, even if it's to a horse. XD

Well did you know there's actually more cattle in Florida then in any other state?
The thing I don't like about Florida is how expensive it is to live there and the kind of people such a state attracts. Too many city slickers who wanna just lay on the beach. XD
Two, I've made the same promise to my babies. My goats and horses will live with me to the day they die. I'm just fortunate my mother believes in what I do and is willing to help me with that.

Ich, cows. They scare me. And they fart alot, which reeks. xD
You know it, too. Don't get me wrong, it's okay to visit, but I don't want to live there. My sister lives near a street that has THREE nudy bars on it. Three! Who needs that many topless women, honestly! Ridiculous.
I wish I had a parent like that. I can't even TELL my dad. He thinks horses are useless and I'm wasting my money on them. But he can buy ciggerettes and booze easy enough. e_e My mom supports the move, but not the horse. v_v

XD Chh. They are sweeties. And I love the smell of cows! :dreamy: SO TRUE!
That's a bummer. My dad thinks the same way, he gives me a lot of crap for not making money with my goats (which i can't breed atm cuz the water I've got is high in iron which depletes the copper in their bodies which makes them abort.) I want my own house. I'm so tired of renting...

I've never sniffed a cow. Maybe I should start! XD
Haha. It's nearly impossible to live there, too. It's expensive, too.
My dad doesn't even care if I AM making money with her. If it's not his way it doesn't matter. I could bring in 100 bucks a day on a blog and he wouldn't care because it's not 'computer courses'.
I want my own house, too. Or at least my own plot of land. And I'm sorry to hear about your goats. D: Have you tried a salt lick? They have a lot of copper in them. Or I've heard of water filters helping that. There are the Brita water filtering jugs that need changing once or so a month. If you were patience enough for it. It'll hold a gallon of water at once.

KaxantheDragon In reply to FrostCoveredFields [2012-02-10 04:45:11 +0000 UTC]
I know how that goes. If it isn't a lot of money in his eyes then its a waste of money.
I have. And so far they're okay, but I don't want to put too much pressure on my girls. Making babies takes a lot out of moms, so I think they deserve the break. The water filter would work, and we do have a berkey, which is a higher quality water filter, but my goats easily drink 25 or more gallons every two days. I would never be able to keep up with them let alone my dogs and my own drinking water. D:

Yeah, so much for every penny makes a dollar and every dollar is more than you had before. It's crazy cause my dad will stop and pick up bottles to make five cents.
Yeah, babies do. Is always nice to give them a break. One of the ponies I lease (just two. XD 20$ a month.) is every year. Her first foal passed away, her second foal is awesome, and she's pregnant now with a foal thats 100% to be tobiano. She's never had a non-appy foal. I wish she'd get a longer break. I can't bring her with me to Tucson until the baby is weaned next year which gives me enough time to make up the funds on my own.
I'm glad to be giving her a break, though. XD

Yeah. She's very healthy though. I make sure to give her the extra feed an such. I don't have breeding rights over them, which is why I have little say. Boots is a sweet mare, though. She'll do much better as Truffles' driving partner then as a brood mare.
