My Backstory

My name is Marcy and I've been a lifelong horse fan. Up until recently, however, my involvement with them was only from afar; books, art, and the occasional casual ride on the trails or at a family member's place.

I began volunteering at Bit-O-Heaven earlier this year, learning about the care of older horses while helping groom them, clean stalls, etc. It sounds like a real chore (and it is quite a workout), but at the same time the horses at the ranch have been super sweet and very people-oriented. Between this and getting involved with rescue organizations online, my curiosity was piqued, and I started fundraising...with an eye towards possibly helping out a local horse, if the right one came along.

On September 24, I contacted a gal on Craigslist who was looking to rehome an elderly Quarter Horse. Meeting him was quite a different experience from what I had been expecting...
