Cooper's Cause!
Cooper is Josh's sponsor, with support from his Mom and Dad, Stacey and Tim Evans, and his
Grandparents Sue and Larry Friley. Coop is a salesman, even at 4, and has been having all of
his relatives selling M&Ms to help The Golden Carrot. But Stacey also felt, that if we
could reach enough people and have them donate $1 per month, $12 per year, we could help a lot of
horses. 100 people could support one horse, entirely (feed, shoeing, worming, fly mask etc)
for a year. Thus was born, Cooper's Cause. Coop is out there working on it, with the
help of his whole family. Can you help too?

 I received
the following email from this young lady's mom:
Hello – I am writing to let you know that my daughter, Haley Dutch,
has decided to forgo birthday presents and instead ask for donations to your organization.
She rides hunter / jumper here in
Tennessee
, and is an avid horse lover (me, too!).
Anyway, just wanted you to know about it. Her birthday is Sept.
12
th, so you should start seeing some donations by then.
Good luck with your rescue work!
Haley told her class, all family and other friends that she didn't want
birthday presents on her 11th birthday, but instead, requested donations for the benefit of
TGC horses. A friend had done something similar the previous year for a local shelter, but
not only was it not a no-kill shelter, but Haley is horse-mad thanks to her 5 year old TB cross,
Tuxedo, so she chose TGC to benefit from her kindness.
You have to love such a sweet girl, and love Tuxedo for being the wonderful horse he must be
to inspire her to give up her birthday presents for the benefit of other horses! I am
delighted to report that her efforts have earned
$315.00 for TGC - although she had no specific horse in mind when she
began gathering money for us, I'm going to use her donation to support Happy for the rest of 2007 -
since he sorta looks like Tuxedo!
You've got to love horses doncha? This wonderful horse has inspired an equally wonderful girl
to do good for other horses - and lucky for us, she's got a wonderful family to help her do
it.
Many many thanks, Haley
, for your kindness and generosity! I hope someday you can visit California, and TGC,
to see the horses you have helped!
