Welcome and thanks for checking out QT's fan club! My name is Peg and I started volunteering at The Farm (as I affectionately call it) about 6 months ago. Like a lot of people I've volunteered at other places before ..... I was a candy striper as a kid, did my share of community service, worked with the Flying Doctors organization, gave blood regularly, but never was quite satisfied or contented for very long. What brought me here was an article in the local North Points magazine written about Cheryl and the rescue. I gotta say, it was love at first sight and I knew this was the place I had to come, and come often.
There is nothing more exhilarating than being up close and personal with a 1300 lb horse snorting through his nose, stomping his foot and eyeing you. Heck, who needs caffeine ! If that doesn't get your blood moving, nothing will ! And if the horses weren't enough for you, then how about a couple of pot bellied pigs, or a few goats, or maybe a dozen dogs ! If it's fur-kids you like then this place has em !
I took the picture of QT and Doodlebug that's on this page. I was working with Gary, another volunteer and we were repairing a back wall to Pokey's run. QT and Doodlebug were in the pasture behind us. All of a sudden I heard the sound of heavy hooves, running at what appeared like a very fast pace. When I turned to see what was going on I saw QT and Doodlebug chasing each other around the pasture and kicking up a storm. When the dust finally settled I watched these two stay locked in a friendly kiss for what seemed like several minutes. I was just glad I happened to have my camera with me that day. It really was something to watch.
So, I'll be updating both QT's and Doddlebug's Fan Club pages and keep you posted on their progress.
