Thanks Beth! I hardly post much at all on any internet forum anymore. I have just been too busy trying to run a rescue organization in addition to my "day" job, and having a family.
The Exceller Fund has grown quite a bit over the last several years, but with growth comes much more work! I will take it as a compliment, but people seem to think The Exceller Fund is a lot larger than it actually is. You can register at www.guidestar.org and view our 990 non-profit tax return. You'll see that we run our program on less than $80,000 a year which is nothing when you consider the costs involved with rescue, transport, and daily care for an average of 20 horses at any given time.
I WISH we were larger because that could mean we would be able to save more horses. With many of these horses, if you go back in their pedigree, you'll find several crosses with Man o' War and even MORE crosses to Fair Play (mainly from his son Display who sired Discovery who was the broodmare sire of Native Dancer who was the broodmare sire of Northern Dancer.)
