August 21, 1994, we are petting my
first horse. She is 8 years old, has a satiny coat the most
beautiful eyes and she is mine. She was no longer wanted
and wound up in the “Kill Pen”. She was purchased from the
kill pen to be a child’s riding horse but she was not a
child’s horse. In a matter of minutes, she will be named
Lucky and she will come home with us.
Lucky is now the official mascot of
Misfit Acres Inc. Located six miles south of Good Thunder,
Misfit Acres Inc is a safe haven for homeless horses.
When we learned about the live
slaughter industry via Lucky’s life, we chose to get
actively involved in equine welfare. Our love of horses
combined with the research we have done regarding equine
welfare led us to start our own equine sanctuary apply for
incorporation status in February of 2004. As of March 18,
we have been granted federal tax-exempt status by the
Internal Revenue Service allowing us to issue receipts to
anyone donating to our horses.
Horses that arrive at Misfit Acres
will live out their remaining years here. We believe they
enjoy being here as much as we enjoy having them. They seem
to know that they are the “stars” here and most of the cars
that drive in are visitors for them. Misfit Acres welcomes
visitors - please feel free to give us a call at the contact
info listed below. |

Webmaster |
We want you to meet our Webmaster,
Jeanne. Many, many people have complimented us on our
wonderful website. We want to know who is the brain behind
this site. Bruce and I didn't know anything about designing
or maintaining a website but we wanted one. I asked around
on some of the e-groups I was on about how to get a website
and Jeanne stepped up.
The email she sent us read "Hi, I’m the one who will be
building your website. What would you like the site to do?"
And here it is!! Right along with about 7-8 emails a week to
Jeanne saying "Jeanne can we change this, Jeanne can we add
this". Right, Jeanne!!
Jeanne adds Misfit
Acres to a growing list of website she
has created.
Her growing portfolio can be seen at
Long Creek Designs..
She is developing a business creating sites for other
businesses and also does transcription as her 'real' job.
Her
transcription website can be viewed at
Long Creek Transcripts. |
