Captain Barbossa

With shattered hearts we announce the Captain's death.  God please keep this magnificent horse close to You.  Thank You for allowing us the pleasure of his company.

"Captain Barbossa" is an Appaloosa gelding who does not have perfect vision.  He is the perfect gentleman and loves women.  He snuggles and he protects you.  Captain will remain on as an AFER resident, but will require a benefactor!  Our talent is in horse care and training.  You are needed to help us financially!  Be a saint for this special horse and sponsor him!

Update: February 14, 2008  Captain's vision is deteriorating steadily.  Frisco is his security in the large field now.  We will be looking to move him to a smaller, safer situation.  Please consider helping to finance this gentleman's life.  If you met him, you would understand, he is special. Following are photos of his mealtime ritual.  This is a horse that appreciates the simple things in life...like GRAIN!

Please be an angel for him...help us.

Three local school children have come to the aid of Captain Barbossa!  The selfless acts of charity from Olivia Mulvey, Madelaine Briggs and Olivia Bruyn have set a precedent!  $1306.00 has been appropriated toward the needs of this fine horse! The three girls, giving up their own birthday presents in order to help the horse who needed it most is a grand show of character!  We are blessed as a community to have these girls among us!!!

Frisco is taking care of Captain for us now.  Neither are available for adoption.  Captain still seeks a full sponsor!

Captain Barbossa meet Captain Jack Sparrow!

No, I will not grow up!

Forever, Captain.  We will love you forever.
