Endangered wild horses born at Calgary Zoo

They have the head of a Norwegian Fjord, and the rear end of an Arabian. The mane of a zebra (although these manes - and tails- shed once a year... how weird!) Close-coupled and energy-efficient, these little animals are the oldest living breed of of Equid on our planet.
If you've never seen this type of horse, take a look. They are really cool, and there are only about 1800 in the whole world!

Lend a Helping HAIR?!

This was just forwarded by a friend and is the first I've heard of this technique, though admittedly, my heart breaks when hearing the horrid news pertaining to our country's latest contribution to World Destruction, so I've had to limit my news consumption. Anyway, if any of you are grooming a pet this holiday weekend, Sweep it Up and Send it Out!! ~J

PRESS RELEASE/URGENT~ 5/23/10

HAIR NEEDED TO MOP OIL IN GULF REGION

Rein-Aid wants hair to ship to the gulf ASAP. We have identified a wonderful not-for-profit organization that has set up emergency warehouses all along the gulf coast. They stuff nylon stockings with hair to create booms that mop up the oil.

Send us your horse hair if you need to clip for a show, pull a mane or trim a tail. If you groom or clip a dog, send us that. Ask you hair salon to give you their daily take of cut hair or ask them to contact us directly.

Any type of hair will work, but it must not contain debris or manure that could harm the volunteers stuffing the hair into the stockings.

Ladies we need your old nylons, any color and ladders are no problem.

No amount of hair is too small as we will bundle all we get and ship it together.

Please mail your hair to:
Rein-Aid, Attn. Kim Keppick
P.O. Box 1268, Middleburg, VA 20118.

If you prefer to use UPS/Fedex ship to:
Rein-Aid, Attn. Kim Keppick
3064 Lost Corner Rd, Rectortown, VA 20140.

If you are local to Middleburg and want to drop off your hair or have it picked up then
please e-mail reinaid@earthlink.net or call 540 364 3668 ask for Kim.
