[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Our dearest Rusty has suffered a severe, sudden colic. His condition worsened throughout the day to the point his immediate transport to the St-Hyacinthe Large Animal Hospital was his only hope. A displaced colon as well as a very high fever and heart rate meant we needed to act quickly if Rusty was to have a fighting chance. Given the last minute decision and logistics of transporting a large horse two hours away at 7:00 p.m. at night, was not an easy task. Thankfully through the kind horse network in our area along with support for AHT Rescue, we found a solution for someone to help us out.

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text] Manure Drive a huge success! Over $6,000 in donations was raised over three weekends at AHT’s first annual organic horse fertiliser fundraiser. A huge thank-you to the volunteers who helped and to everyone who supported us. Making this a true community event, Vaudreuil-Dorion Mayor Guy Pilon came out to fill bags with his son, as did Députée Marie-Claude Nicholsand her daughter. MP Peter Shiefke and his daughter also came by to say hello and to pick up some fertiliser for their garden. Thank you, as well, to IGA Déziel Hudson for donating all the compostable, paper grocery bags used during the fundraiser. It’s truly heartwarming when local supports local, both government/municipal officials and all of you! From all the horses and all our volunteers, thank you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][distance type=”2″][vc_single_image image=”13010″ img_size=”medium”][distance type=”2″][vc_single_image image=”13011″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”13013″ img_size=”medium”][vc_single_image image=”13012″ img_size=”medium”][vc_single_image image=”13014″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Space is limited each day and there will be strict protocols in place to ensure social distancing. AHT will be pre-packaging the fertilizer in double lined paper bags and load them into your car. This aligns with government guidelines and is easier for you to then compost the bags! You must register to obtain a timeslot by emailing: Manure@ahorsetale.org All details around the process will then be confined with you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text] The 2020 Open House Season On Hold With the recent recommendations by government bodies, AHT Rescue is temporarily suspending its weekly Open Houses each Saturday from 2:00-4:00. This is simply a preventative measure for both our visitors and volunteers. We hope to be back to the normal Open House schedule soon. We will be posting a virtual Open House on Facebook Saturday at 3:00 p.m. for you to see each horse. Although seeing them isn’t the same as in person, it’s the best solution under the circumstances.

Our Open House season is starting back up again and what better way to welcome spring than to have a raffle! Local artist Nancy Jane Farnum has generously donated her sculpture “Homage to the Calèche Horse”. Nancy describes herself as “a creative “maker” who is inspired by natural and organic elements“. She loves sculpting horses and loves giving back in any way she can – AHT is a perfect match. “Homage to the Calèche Horse” is Nancy’s second donation to A Horse Tale. Her whimsical “Blanco” sculpture raised over $1,000 this past fall. Tickets are $5 each or 3 tickets for $10. Purchase yours online or at our first Open House of the season, Saturday, March 7 from 2 – 4 p.m.  The draw will take place at 3:30 p.m. at the barn and on Facebook. Please note that the winner must be able to pick the sculpture up at…
