Jazzy Recuperating Well
Recently, Jazzy had a frightening episode of colic that required emergency surgery. Her operation was a success and her prognosis for a full recovery is good. She has now returned to the farm and is in good spirits as she convalesces under our watchful eyes. We are seeking donations, well-wishes, and prayers to help Jazzy in her path to complete recovery.

| In Urgent Need of Help: Jazzy
Now it is time for us to help Jazzy. Last week (September 17), Jazzy suffered from colic. Colic signifies a dangerous, even life threatening condition. When we realized that Jazzy was in pain, we took all measures to assist her. It became clear that our own efforts and the efforts of the veterinarian were not going to be enough--Jazzy had to have surgery. That surgerical procedure is enormously expensive, but we knew we had a duty to help this very special pony, no matter the cost. Jazzy is now recuperating from her surgery and her prognosis is good. We are optimistic that the surgery has saved her life. We are seeking donations to help pay for the surgical treatment and veterinary bills that we incurred. Will you help us to help Jazzy in her days of need? |
| Every dollar helps.   Dear Jazzy, we love you, and we're wishing you a speedy recovery! XOXO |
Jazzy
may be the most well-loved, if not the most well-recognized pony at
Ray of Light. She is the one who has patiently introduced horse-back
riding to thousands of people, both children and adults, through the
years. She is the penultimate "bomb-proof" pony who gives
rides to our weekly open pony ride participants, to the Tiny Trotters,
birthday party-goers, and students of the instructional riding program.
And she does her work patiently, willingly, and forgivingly. She has
taken the fear out of riding for many, inspired a love of horses and
ponies for others, and has been a real friend to all (humans and animals
alike) at Ray of Light. Her work has been important in helping to support
the rescue horses and other animals that are not involved in the riding
program.
