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
including
Safe
Sanctuary,
Two Horses,
Sun Well Service,
Crawler Welding,
and
The Horse Corner.
She is developing a business creating sites for other businesses. In
addition, she is constructing her own site
http://www.thehorsecorner.com
which will be a one stop resource for all horse enthusiasts.
