~ Polo in May ~Prior to the scheduled trial, Assistant State Attorney Darla Whistlerannounced that Defendant Chris Brown plead to felony animal cru-elty charges and was adjudicated guilty in the case involving Polo,the Thoroughbred mare who was found emaciated and near deathlast July in Chiefland, Florida. Horse Protection Association of Floridaworked with the Levy County Sheriff’s Office and the Assistant StateAttorney Ms. Whistler to prepare this case for trial. Thisadjudication of felony animal cruelty is precendent setting forprosecution of the starvation of a horse which involved a repeated,long-term failure to provide feed for Polo. This resulted inexcessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain and sufferingof the mare. The Defendant avoided possible jail time by taking theplea agreement and was sentenced to five years probation. Brownwill not be allowed to own or keep any animals, domestic orlivestock, during this probationary period. Our deepest thanks toAssistant State Attorney Darla Whistler of the Eighth Judicial Circuit’sLevy County State Attorney’s Office in Bronson for her successfulprosecution of this case for felony animal cruelty.

Polo is happy, healthy and thriving at the HPAF farm in Micanopy.

Dear Morgan,

I have not had a chance to write since we have been back home, you see how busy those girls keep me.

I just wanted to tell you and your staff what an amazing time we had. Thank you for all of your time you

devoted to us. How is everyone doing? The girls ask often and show pictures of Buzzy and wonder how

he is. Taylynn really liked him. How is Delilah? It’s amazing how my girls tell and show everyone the

pictures and the way they brag about the horses, it is like they have known them for a long time. You

have an amazing place and I pray for you to continue to be blessed with donations on a regular basis. I

have spoken with several adults and they would like to come up with us one weekend. If you will have us

again, we will work hard for you to get some more chores done to help out. Take care and I can’t wait to

see you guys again.

The Williamson Family, Tiffany, Shane, Taylynn, age 11, and Laykin, age 6.

(The Williams Family spent a week at HPAF for a working vacation.)

Congratulations On Your Adoption!

Dear HPAF,

For my birthday, I decided to donate to your farm. My mom found your

farm. She told me about what you do and I thought it was a wonderful

thing for you to do for these poor sweet horses, ponies and donkeys. So

I wanted to donate to your farm instead of getting presents. Lots of

people at my birthday donated, I am so, so., so, so, so, so, so, so, so,

so glad they did. I know it is helping lots of horses/animals out in the

world who need the help a lot more than any of us. i think what your

farm is doing is super great. I am so glad you are doing what you are

doing now. Thank you for doing what you are doing. Thank you and keep

up the great work. You are wonderful.

Teah E. Wilson

**************************************

In Memory of Ora Evola(as remembered by her dear friend and investment advisor Diana Williams with Merrill Lynch)

Ora was born in Ontario, Canada. She eventually moved to Florida and settled on a little farm

in Dunnellon when she retired with a horse, a cow, some chickens and a dog. she always loved

animals, especially dogs and horses. She used to ride horses as a child and always said, “You

can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals!” Ora discovered she was terminally

ill earlier this year, and she wanted in some way to make a difference by promoting animal

wellness. while reviewing her estate plan, she mentioned that she would love to help some local

organizations. Fortunately, we had recently read an article in the newspaper about the positive

impact from Horse Protection. Just like Ora, always wanting to help those that need it most, she

decided this was a place that would put some money to practical, good use. Ora passed away

in early April at the age of 81. She was a little woman with a big heart! She would be proud to

know you appreciate her kindness!

Our deepest appreciation to Ms Evola for her bequest to HPAF.Her thoughtfulness and caring has made a huge impact on the lives of so

many horses.

A bequestin your will or living trust isan uncomplicated way tohelp protect horses. By

including HPAF in yourestate plans, you can leave a

legacy memorializing alifetime of compassion for

horses

Thank You to my ParentsMany of you have not had the pleasure of meeting my parents Robert and Doris Silver who

live in Miami and have been married for 63 years. The support they gave me allowed me to pursue mydream of working with horses.

My mother, a journalist and writer, gave me an affinity for reading and writing that enables meto write about the horses. Not to mention driving me back and forth to the stables daily and helping meat shows during my youth. She made sure that I was able to have the horses that she wanted butcould never have as a girl. When I left the horse show world and became aware of neglect and abuseto horses, the horsemanship I learned in my earlier career gave me the skills necessary to help thestarved and neglected horses.

My father, who was the youngest B17 Bomber Squadron Leader in WWII is the person whomails out most of the Thank You letters for Horse Protection Association of Florida. HPAF exists todayand has grown for the past 22 years only because of my father. It was his support that allowed me tostart and develop HPAF. It was in great part his financial support that kept HPAF going in the earlyyears. He did all of the office and financial work for the first ten years which was no easy task. Hehas been a board member, grant writer, PR person, and my support for 22 years; always there andready to help

It is only because of my parents that HPAF exists and so many horses have been helped over

the past 22 years and for that I am eternally grateful. Morgan
