HPAF Needs Your Help
Donations were down 50% throughout the year, and then in August dropped another 50%. We are so
grateful to the wonderful people who have donated throughout the years. You have made it possible for
HPAF to help so many horses. Our wonderful anonymous donor is once again offering to match
donations up to $15,000 between now and December 31st. This generous gift along with the matching
gifts will see HPAF through the end of December. To continue on to 2012, we will need a miracle.
Miracles have happened to HPAF and the horses many times over the past twenty years. Hopefully there
are more in the future. One bequest could make all the difference. Please remember HPAF and the
horses in your estate planning. Your prayers and positive thoughts are needed now. Lets all think
positively that we will be blessed with yet another miracle and that HPAF will receive donations which
will allow us to continue helping horses in need.

her own, and near death.
Polo was lifted with a sling
and tractor twice in the first
week at HPAF.
Dr. Joan Gariboldi’s
intensive care and prescribed feeding program,
around the clock feedings,
coupled with Polo being a
smart, resilient mare with a
strong will to live made her
survival possible. Thank you
to everyone who worked so
hard to save her: Dr.
Gariboldi, Dr. Barry David,
Dennis Morgan, and the
HPAF staff.

Play Days & Obstacle Challenges
Seeking volunteers who are practicing Parelli Natural Horsemanship to play with the horses at the
HPAF farm or foster them for 60 to 90 days and play with them at your house.
The only way that we can get the horses to where they are adoptable is for them to get consistent one on
one time and training. Parelli Junior 2 Star Instructor Karen Woodbury will help get you started and is
available to help you as you play with the HPAF horse or horses!
We would also like to start having Play Days and Obstacle Challenges at the HPAF farm starting in
January, 2011. If you would like to help out with this project please give us a call or emai
msilver@wildblue.net.
As the weather gets cooler we will be able to play with horses in the afternoons too!

Thank you to Joanne and Kristen Ingram for fostering Beach since March. Beach made great progress at the colt
starting and needed continued riding. Thanks to these two wonderful ladies Beach has gotten individual attention and
riding time that made her more adoptable. Thank you ladies for all of the time and care that you have given Beach.
Thank you to Karen and Butch Silva of Hickory Meadows Farm for taking in Gypsy after her adopter passed away
suddenly. These wonderful folks picked up Gypsy on short notice and provided for her at their beautiful farm in Oxford.
Gypsy’s legs had become horribly crippled from arthritis and it soon became time came to let her go. These kind and
caring horsemen helped so much by providing everything this sweet old mare needed through their expert care and by
helping her go when it was necessary to relieve her suffering. Bless you Karen & Butch, we are so grateful to have caring
friends like you.
Thank you to Janet Johnson of Jacksonville who fostered the yearling Thoroughbred gelding Patrick from January
through June. Janet and her husband picked up Patrick in Micanopy, provided fabulous care for him, sent updated
pictures and reports regularly and even delivered him to his new home. Bless you Janet for taking such wonderful care of
Patrick until he could find a permanent home.
Thank you to Cynthia & Jeff Frye. This nice couple recently moved to Ocala and came to HPAF straight away to
volunteer and what volunteers they are! Their special area of interest is events, which they worked for ERAF in South
Florida before moving North. Cynthia and Jeff have been a godsend, working every Tack Shack sale to raise funds for
the horses, setting up and manning a table at horse events, and we don’t even have to beg for them to go! Above and
beyond that priceless help, they have also generously fostered the recently rescued horses Tara and Lacy who we could
not have rescued without their generosity.
Thank You to Kathy Pennenga for maintaining the HPAF Facebook page and for fostering Zen. Kathy, along with Missy
Clapp and Stacy Ewing, has been playing with Zen using Parelli Natural Horsemanship methods which have helped him to
heal and regain his confidence.
Thank you Alpha Boost Juice for their generous donation of their excellent product for the starved and debilitated
horses. We have used Alpha Boost Juice for years with the malnourished and starved horses that come in to HPAF. Please
go online and read about all of the excellent benefits of Alpha Boost Juice with the power of spring grass.

Many, many years ago, I think it was 2002, I can’t remember the exact time, a very nice lady and
her young son Dylan started volunteering at HPAF. They were enthusiastic and hard workers,
always ready to take on a new project. They groomed horses, and Hawk was their favorite. They
would always spend extra time grooming and fussing over Hawk when they were at the farm. They
took on large projects as well; building a beautiful area with brick pavers at the garage so that we
had another area where the horses could stand for grooming and bathing. Barbara always had a
smile on her face and Dyland was a quiet, polite young man who was obviously raised right! For 2
to 3 years, the dynamic duo came out to the farm regularly to help with the horses and the farm.
Then the family got heavily involved in scouting, and we did not see them often.
Fast forward to 2011 when Dylan calls and tells us that he would like to do his Eagle Scout project for HPAF. After lots of
planning and working out details, construction on a new round pen began in March. Dylan got all the materials donated from
local companies and the auger work (post hole drilling) was donated by Rich Hedman, who has done all of HPAF’s construction and additions over the years. In three weekends, the old round pen was taken down, and a new, larger and taller round pen
was built. The pen is beautiful and more importantly, exactly what was needed for training and riding the young horses.
Our most sincere thanks to Dylan, his family, and his fellow Eagle Scouts from Troop 439 who all worked so hard on this big
project to help the horses. Dylan has grown into a polite, hard working young man that would make any parents proud.
HPAF lost a long time friend in August with the passing of Tommy Heard, a well respected horseman and Thoroughbred
trainer. Mr. Heard and the James J. Colt Foundation were one of the early supporters of HPAF when we were just getting started
in 1990. Riding in Horse Country as a kid, the main landmark was Heardsdale, the 100 acre Thoroughbred training farm that
was on the southeast side of Sunset Drive and 117th Avenue. Trail rides always included riding along side the farm that
bordered woods and the Dade County paupers field. Boarding my horse at Red Sunset Farm on Sunset and 123rd Avenue, I also
rode in Heardsdale’s field which abutted Red Sunset. It was another 100 acres of wide open space to ride in. After Heardsdale
was closed, it was the site of the fall Arabian circuit shows where I first showed Arabians in the early 70’s. When I later had the
opportunity to meet Mr. Heard, I found out what a kind and generous person he was. Mr. Heard was the first Honorary Board
Member of HPAF, and remained so until his death. Mr. Heard was a respected and highly regarded gentleman who will be
greatly missed.
