Gina Keesling of HoofPrints and I have teamed up again to create Horses and Hope: Faces of Rescue, a 2013 charity calendar project. You can order your calendar here: http://www.hoofprints.com/ska.html

You can read about the 2012 calendar here. Thanks to your generous calendar purchases, we raised over $40,000. With that money, One Horse at a Time (OHAAT) was able write grants to help 317 horses, including 255 new geldings.

Like last year, 100% of the profit is donated to OHAAT. The calendar will feature a wider variety of equine subjects. In addition to New Jersey, I traveled to New York, Kentucky, Virginia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Maryland and visited horses at equine rescues, as well as in their adopted homes.

Like last year, we are working hard to keep the calendar inspirational and positive, and we strive to highlight the great things that people are doing to help horses all over the country. Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy it!

May's calendar boy is Tristan, a Belgian purchased at New Holland Auction for $35. He has defied the odds and is thriving, despite a grim prognosis given by veterinarians: http://thetdnblog.blogspot.com/2012/...ans-story.html

Yes, we have collected more stories for the 2013 calendar than we did with 2012. Unfortunately, we could not track down all the new owners, but when we could, we provide stories and updates on the calendar pages.

Already ordered mine. The photography and printing are coffee table quality and they make great Christmas gifts for horsey and non-horsey friends.

Thank you, AA and Gina. You make my Christmas shopping really easy.

Thank you for your order and for your kind words! I'm so glad you're enjoying 2012. Like last year, we tried really hard to keep the message for 2013 positive and inspiring. There are a lot of people out there doing some amazingly generous things in their horse communities, and it was a lot of fun to meet them and their horses.

Thank you so much for your order. Today, I received several really nice notes from people who received their calendars. We are still taking orders- they make great gifts, because 100% of the proceeds go directly back to the horse community.
