White-Faced Bandits Helped to Find New Home

white faced horsesWelcome to our letters to the editor/opinion section. To submit yours for consideration, please send to [email protected]. Please consider including an image to be used–either a photograph of you or something applicable to the letter. However, an image is not necessary for publication. Remember opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect that of Redheaded Blackbelt nor have we checked the letters for accuracy.

The letter below in part credits this site, Redheaded Blackbelt, for assisting five white-faced horses wandering in the Ettersburg area, but, in reality, it was the letter writer who contacted us to begin with and the community that stepped up that provided the help the herd needed to finally have a home.

Here’s the letter:

Kym,

I want to thank you for helping us in Ettersburg come together and take care of the white faced bandits (5 horses) who were running loose. Three have been taken to a equestrian center in CA. where they will be well taken care of. The other 2 will be transported down as soon as the travel is coordinated.

Many in the Ettersburg community helped with this, feeding and containing the horses, finding a place where they can still be together as a family and just taking care of them in general.

I was gone to help my sister who came down with pneumonia during much of this. Thank you Kym and thank you Ettersburg neighbors and community!!

I just have to laugh at the negative comments. It was a real reach to come up with some out of this story of people working together to find a wonderful place for this small herd of horses. I don’t know much about horses but I have heard that they have a very hard time when they are separated after being in a herd. I also know many of the animal lovers involved in this project and am grateful for what they achieved and the love in this community.

what a major accomplishment! Finding a home for one horse, let alone 5, is hard work. Many thanks to the people who persevered and got the job done. You all deserve medals.
