Recruitment to Fort Socs

I want to take this opportunity to give a great big kudos to Tereza for her help in 2018/19 She had initially answered an ad that i had put up at the university, asking for horse folk interested in being part of a program i was starting. Her boyfriend was a student at the university and knew how much she enjoyed being around them. She learned in the Czech republic on stallions at a farm there. She started helping at Fort Socs over the weekend that I learned that i needed surgery on my right pinky due to it being broken in two places due to a bicycle accident I had had a few weeks before. She literally became my right hand after that, helping with the feed and watering of the horses as well as helping to build a fence to keep the horses away from buildings and they hay. She is a super nice young lady too! There have been many amazing people helping out at Mandy and Me over the years. Hopefully this website will be bringing some of the other stories out in time too, but for the most part it will be about the now, and the future as well as sharing a combination of our pet stories with those of other people's.

'I've known Silverado for almost a year and a half now. She is a very kind and sincere person, helping both people and animals in need whenever she can. Her horses and dogs are a family and friends to her and she's always been putting their well-being before hers. One of her life missions is to building a better future for everyone, both people and animal. She lost nearly everything but that didn't stop her. She brought the family back together and started from scratch, still helping people on the way even she didn't have much, offering helping hands and spreading joy and peace through music. I believe what she's doing and working towards has a huge potential for the community and could even grow past the borders. And if we work together, we can make it happen!'

Fort Socs Members and The Knight MARES

Think of the Fort Socs members, as folk who maintain peace and parks, a bit like Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots program meets a Mountie. . Knight MAREs is an idea for a group of people that will sing songs i have made over the years as well as other songs and stories geared to peace, nature, pets and local history.

There is a bit of divide and conquer world.. our mission is to be about uniting and celebrating. The buck really does start here in terms of fun, but we want to get more fiscally responsible too. Through education, collaboration and communication i really do think we can make great changes in this world!

I went to university on scholarships for my running. Ironically, it was in large part my passion for the pets that had given me the heart to be such a disciplined and passionate runner. It would ultimately be why i stopped running though too. That and my being uncomfortable in the spotlight. National records that I made then have stood for 30 years. Ultimately, my pet passions would stop my running/schooling and later my passions for all creatures would ultimately compromise my stable home. In the hopes of bringing stability to more, I hope to get support for the Magic peace park plans.

In closing, meet Noah.. he is very symbolic of Mandy and Me. A loving dog who had lots of energy. His family moved and could not keep him in the motel they were staying. It was only to be a couple of months.. it would be over 10 years but he became a great companion to Theatre, my German Shepherd at the time and to everyone that came riding. They were about the same age, but Noah's energy on the rides had few to equal. He loved running so much! HIs people visited a few times, but knew he was in good hands. They helped with the first few bags of dog food, but in time realized that they would not be able to have him back. He would definitely earn his keep in the limitless love and energy he would give to our family.
