HPAF Needs Your HelpDonations were down 50% throughout the year, and then in August dropped another 50%. We are sograteful to the wonderful people who have donated throughout the years. You have made it possible forHPAF to help so many horses. Our wonderful anonymous donor is once again offering to matchdonations up to $15,000 between now and December 31st. This generous gift along with the matchinggifts will see HPAF through the end of December. To continue on to 2012, we will need a miracle.Miracles have happened to HPAF and the horses many times over the past twenty years. Hopefully thereare more in the future. One bequest could make all the difference. Please remember HPAF and thehorses in your estate planning. Your prayers and positive thoughts are needed now. Lets all thinkpositively that we will be blessed with yet another miracle and that HPAF will receive donations whichwill allow us to continue helping horses in need.

Thank you to Karen and Butch Silva of Hickory Meadows Farm for taking in Gypsy after her adopter passed awaysuddenly. These wonderful folks picked up Gypsy on short notice and provided for her at their beautiful farm in Oxford.Gypsy’s legs had become horribly crippled from arthritis and it soon became time came to let her go. These kind andcaring horsemen helped so much by providing everything this sweet old mare needed through their expert care and byhelping her go when it was necessary to relieve her suffering. Bless you Karen & Butch, we are so grateful to have caringfriends like you.

Bless you Janet for taking such wonderful care ofPatrick until he could find a permanent home.

Thank you to Cynthia & Jeff Frye. This nice couple recently moved to Ocala and came to HPAF straight away tovolunteer and what volunteers they are! Their special area of interest is events, which they worked for ERAF in SouthFlorida before moving North. Cynthia and Jeff have been a godsend, working every Tack Shack sale to raise funds forthe horses, setting up and manning a table at horse events, and we don’t even have to beg for them to go! Above andbeyond that priceless help, they have also generously fostered the recently rescued horses Tara and Lacy who we couldnot have rescued without their generosity.

~Thank you~

Thank You to Kathy Pennenga for maintaining the HPAF Facebook page and for fostering Zen. Kathy, along with MissyClapp and Stacy Ewing, has been playing with Zen using Parelli Natural Horsemanship methods which have helped him toheal and regain his confidence.

Many, many years ago, I think it was 2002, I can’t remember the exact time, a very nice lady andher young son Dylan started volunteering at HPAF. They were enthusiastic and hard workers,always ready to take on a new project. They groomed horses, and Hawk was their favorite. Theywould always spend extra time grooming and fussing over Hawk when they were at the farm. Theytook on large projects as well; building a beautiful area with brick pavers at the garage so that wehad another area where the horses could stand for grooming and bathing. Barbara always had asmile on her face and Dyland was a quiet, polite young man who was obviously raised right! For 2to 3 years, the dynamic duo came out to the farm regularly to help with the horses and the farm.Then the family got heavily involved in scouting, and we did not see them often.

Fast forward to 2011 when Dylan calls and tells us that he would like to do his Eagle Scout project for HPAF. After lots ofplanning and working out details, construction on a new round pen began in March. Dylan got all the materials donated fromlocal companies and the auger work (post hole drilling) was donated by Rich Hedman, who has done all of HPAF’s construc-tion and additions over the years. In three weekends, the old round pen was taken down, and a new, larger and taller round penwas built. The pen is beautiful and more importantly, exactly what was needed for training and riding the young horses.Our most sincere thanks to Dylan, his family, and his fellow Eagle Scouts from Troop 439 who all worked so hard on this bigproject to help the horses. Dylan has grown into a polite, hard working young man that would make any parents proud.

HPAF lost a long time friend in August with the passing of Tommy Heard, a well respected horseman and Thoroughbredtrainer. Mr. Heard and the James J. Colt Foundation were one of the early supporters of HPAF when we were just getting startedin 1990. Riding in Horse Country as a kid, the main landmark was Heardsdale, the 100 acre Thoroughbred training farm thatwas on the southeast side of Sunset Drive and 117th Avenue. Trail rides always included riding along side the farm thatbordered woods and the Dade County paupers field. Boarding my horse at Red Sunset Farm on Sunset and 123rd Avenue, I alsorode in Heardsdale’s field which abutted Red Sunset. It was another 100 acres of wide open space to ride in. After Heardsdalewas closed, it was the site of the fall Arabian circuit shows where I first showed Arabians in the early 70’s. When I later had theopportunity to meet Mr. Heard, I found out what a kind and generous person he was. Mr. Heard was the first Honorary BoardMember of HPAF, and remained so until his death. Mr. Heard was a respected and highly regarded gentleman who will begreatly missed.
