Willie's Fillies
Willie, two baby fillies, and their Mamas in Luck, TX March 17th, 2007
Since March 1st, three fillies were born from the first group of horses Willie adopted from Habitat for Horses. The first two are pictured above. The youngest at the time, Filly #2, is there lying in the shade of the haystack. Her mother doesn't let Willie get very close.
"What about an online contest to name our new citizens in luck texas," emailed Willie.
So Club Luck held a contest to name Luck's newest native citizens. The first winning name is Barbarosa. Congratulations to Pat, the first winner. Since there are two unnamed fillies, and two very pregnant mares, the contest is continuing...
Only Club Luck members can submit a name. Go to www.willienelson.com and click on the "Club Luck" link to learn how to become a member.
Barbarosa - born March 1st, 2007
Barbarosa's mother, who Willie now calls Mamarosa, is one of the only 12 survivors of a group of 304 healthy registered paint horses who were sold to undercover killer buyers and slaughtered. Habitat for Horses purchased these 12 outright in order to save them. Since HFH was at full capacity, they arranged foster care. Willie adopted them soon after.
There are hundreds of horses awaiting homes at Habitat for Horses' ranch and their foster facilities. Please help to spread the word to adopt or donate so HFH can go out and save more! (www.habitatforhorses.org)

A Message From Willie
Category: Pets and Animals
SUPPORT THE AMERICAN HORSE
SLAUGHTER PREVENTION ACT
August 8, 2006
Dear Member of Congress:
After four years of increasing public demand for an end to horse slaughter, you have an immediate opportunity to end this cruel practice. Congressional Horse Caucus Chair John Sweeney (R-NY) and Representatives John Spratt (D-SC), Ed Whitfield (R-KY) and Nick Rahall (D-WV) have introduced H.R. 503 to prevent the slaughter of horses for human consumption abroad. We ask you to support this bill, the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act. Horses have always been a symbol of America's free spirit. No other animal stirs such an emotional reaction. Horses have carried our leaders into battles, pulled our wagons into the untamed West, and thrilled us through sport. In fact, horses such as Secretariat, Man O' War and Citation are considered among the top 100 athletes of the 20th century. The famous story of Seabiscuit, a once "unwanted horse" turned great champion, was recently considered for an Oscar.
Yet regardless of their fame and notoriety, no animal should be hauled across the country under the unhealthy and cruel conditions slaughter-bound horses face. Following their faithful service to humankind, our horses should not be killed at one of the three foreign-owned slaughterhouses in the United States so diners abroad can feast on their flesh. We strongly support the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act and have rejected arguments from those who claim ending horse slaughter will be bad for horses. Don't be misled; ending horse slaughter will be nothing but good for horses, and we are confident that once you consider the facts, you will agree.
We urge you to follow the outstanding leadership of Representatives Sweeney, Spratt, Whitfield and Rahall on this issue and support H.R. 503. It's not only about saving the lives of thousands of innocent horses; it's about a better America.
On behalf of my friends, I thank you for your urgent consideration of the effort to end horse slaughter. If you would like more information, please visit www.saplonline.org.
Sincerely,
Willie Nelson
