Biography
Ramona, CA—TheraPony, a small volunteer-run horse rescue and sanctuary located in Ramona, CA has been awarded an ASPCA grant to continue their life saving work. More than 170 rescues and sanctuaries nationwide participated in ASPCA’s Help A Horse Day celebrated in April. TheraPony was awarded the grand prize of $25,000 for their efforts to lower the number of unwanted horses through 30 Geldings In 30 Days campaign., providing 30 free castration surgeries in the San Diego area during the month of April.
“Each year we are proud to recognize the commitment and creativity of equine rescues across the country through the ASPCA Help a Horse Day national competition,” said Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President and CEO. “ASPCA Help a Horse Day illustrates how much can be accomplished when communities and advocates come together to make the most of their ideas, efforts, and resources. I congratulate this year’s winners and thank everyone involved in the lifesaving work of caring for horses who’ve been abused and neglected.”
“We are extremely grateful and humbled by the generosity and support of ASPCA and our community,” said Anika Russell, TheraPony’s young founder. “This validates years of hard work. I am so proud of our little rescue and looking forward to doing even more to help our community. We are already working on ideas for next year’s Help A Horse Day. And yes, it will include more new members of the Gelding Club”
“I’d like to thank Mylestone Equine Rescue and New Jersey and San Diego Horse Coalition for stepping up and supporting this campaign. Both organizations provide community support programs, on opposite sides of the country,” said Lana Russell, TheraPony’s Treasurer. “I’d also like to recognize the following sponsors, without whom this program wouldn’t be possible: Unwanted Horse Coalition,FarmVet, Horse.com, Harmel’s Helping Hands Equine Massage, our dedicated veterinarians at Exact Equine in Lakeside, CA, and our trainer Pete Spates ofNatural Responses Horsemanship. Special Thank You goes out to our community and Ramona Chamber of Commerce for their support of our organization and Help A Horse Day Celebration”
TheraPony has several projects that will benefit from the much-needed funds. Part will be set aside for next year’s gelding campaign. The rescue plans to fund their Community Support Program with a portion of this grant. The facility TheraPony leases needs work to help accommodate 9 horses who joined the program this year. One new horse, Shelley, was found to be pregnant, so a foaling stall and nursery are in order. Then there are big ticket items that would many more horses but seemed like an impossible dream until today. Because TheraPony focuses on elderly and injured equines, The Magnus Compact Portable PEMF unit has been a wish list item for several years. The group plans to discuss how to get the most bang for their buck during their weekly Saturday night get togethers at the rescue.
How you can help
The routine care for one horse is about $3,000 a year, not including emergencies and acute cases. With nearly 30 horses under their care, the need for funding never ends. Donations and monthly sponsorships are greatly appreciated.
Adopting, fostering, or sponsoring a horse is a great way to help relieve some of the burden on local rescues as well as free up funds for another horse in need.
Help is also needed in areas like website and T-shirt design.There is something for everyone to do.

Each piece of Touchstone Crystal jewelry is uniquely designed with first quality Swarovski crystals and innovations and is sold exclusively through our Independent Sales Consultants.
The key ingredient: Swarovski Crystal
In every Touchstone crystal accessory shines Swarovski crystal, giving each chic jewelry piece its signature sparkle.Beauty, as the saying goes, is in the eye of the beholder. Above and beyond subjective perception, the quality and value of crystal can be determined by the criteria outlined below in the 5 C’s of Swarovski Crystal.
5 C’s of Swarovski Crystal
CARE
From the sustainable and conscious handling of business to the environmental practices in selecting and composing of crystal ingredients, care is in every part of Swarovski’s crystal making process.
CUT
The brilliance of the crystal is determined by the cut – the greater the precision, the more exact the faceting, the more prismatic the effect of the crystal and the greater the brilliance in the crystal’s refraction.
CLARITY
The clearer the crystal is from inclusions such as cloudy spots, streaks and bubbles, the more flawless the crystal clarity and the more brilliant the properties.
COLOR
Perfect crystals are characterized by intensity and fidelity to tone, independent of size and cut. When reflecting light, a crystal with great color gives rise to a fiery play of tones which reveal its hidden spectrum.
CONTOUR
Meticulous quality control in Swarovski’s manufacturing process ensures perfectly shaped, flawlessly faceted crystals.CARE

Biography
The VFW traces its roots back to 1899 when veterans of the Spanish-American War (1898) and the Philippine Insurrection (1899-1902) founded local organizations to secure rights and benefits for their service: Many arrived home wounded or sick. There was no medical care or veterans’ pension for them,and they were left to care for themselves.
In their misery, some of these veterans banded together and formed organizations with what would become known as the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. After chapters were formed in Ohio, Colorado and Pennsylvania, the movement quickly gained momentum. By 1915, membership grew to 5,000; by 1936, membership was almost 200,000.
Since then, the VFW’s voice had been instrumental in establishing the Veterans Administration, creating a GI bill for the 20th century, the development of the national cemetery system and the fight for compensation for Vietnam vets exposed to Agent Orange and for veterans diagnosed with Gulf War Syndrome. In 2008, VFW won a long-fought victory with the passing of a GI Bill for the 21st Century, giving expanded educational benefits to America’s active-duty servicemembers, and members of the Guard and Reserves, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The VFW also has fought for improving VA medical centers services for women veterans.
Besides helping fund the creation of the Vietnam, Korean War, World War II and Women in Military Service memorials, the VFW in 2005 became the first veterans’ organization to contribute to building the new Disabled Veterans for Life Memorial, which opened in November, 2010.
Annually, the 2.1 million members of the VFW and its Auxiliary contribute more than 11 million hours of volunteerism in the community, including participation in Make A Difference Day and National Volunteer Week.
From providing $2.5 million in college scholarships and savings bonds to students every year, to encouraging elevation of the Department of Veterans Affairs to the president’s cabinet, the VFW is there.
