    Am I no longer needed?

    We are a non-profit and really don't have any money for salaries. I wouldn't take it anyway because I don't need to worry about that. Everyone is a volunteer except for those that provide services such as the vet and the farrier.

    Am I no longer needed?

    I'll be speaking to her tomorrow. I really think it's the new board member who is to blame, but we'll discuss tomorrow. As far as safety around the horses is concerned, there's always a chance of getting hurt when you work with horses. I had a horse fall on me when I was younger and I've been...

    Am I no longer needed?

    No that definitely is not it. We sometimes receive horses that are difficult, and out of all our volunteers there are only 3 people that are permitted to handle them. That is our president, trainer and myself.

    Am I no longer needed?

    Everything was fine until the new guy showed up and yes I have a personality clash with him, but not with the others.

    Am I no longer needed?

    I know more about computers than the board. My son is a tech and has taught me everything, including how to build a computer. I post our farm activities on our FB page so the digital world doesn't faze me. I have no problem handling our horses as I've been around Thoroughbreds for most of my...

    Am I no longer needed?

    I don't know if this is the place for my problem but here it goes. I'm 85 yrs old woman and for the past 15 years have been with a Thoroughbred horse rescue. We take them from the race tracks and rehab, retrain and rehome. My life is horses and I've been on the board of directors for 14 years...

    What is your after retirement plan?

    I retired at 65 and couldn't stand the thought of doing nothing or "travel" so I found a horse rescue that needed volunteers and after all these years I'm still there. I'm 83 and can clean a stall with the best of them. Our horses come from the race tracks when they are injured and can't run or...

    Why Are Doctors Quitting? A Physician Weighs In

    I'm having issues with low blood pressure, dizziness and a strange feeling in my chest. I went to the er and the doctor told me I was dehydrated. I was not. I got an appointment with my cardio doctor and he prescribed tests that I couldn't get an appointment for one month. Here I sit wondering...
