Annual Fall Yard Sale

We are always looking for Gently Used items for this annual event. Furniture, tools, and knick-knacks. But no books or clothing, please. Gingersnap Girls Foundation's Yard last Sale was held Oct. 27th and turned out to be a great day. L'il Chief, our mascot, was once again in attendance. A big THANK YOU to all who helped and attended.

Autumnfest Event A Great Success!

In October the Gingersnap Girls Foundation participated at Southern States' Autumnfest which was held at the Southern States store in Purcellville, Virginia. L'il Chief, our mascot, was once again a big hit with all. He especially enjoyed meeting all of the children who came to our booth.

Southern States has been such a kind supporter of the Foundation. We were happy to have met so many wonderful people and hope that everyone will put this most worthwhile and fun family event on their calendars for October, 2008.


Hay Plea

We are in desperate need of hay

Due to the drought, our supplier has run out of hay. He now has to feed the horse hay to his cattle.

Hay is SOOOO expensive now - we really will need help for the upcoming winter!



We now can accept online donations via PayPal!!

The past six months has been a busy time for the Gingersnap Girls Foundation and it looks like the future months will be even busier!

We are so very happy that the Foundation now has a website, so that our friends all over the country can keep up to date on the happenings of our group and assist us in helping all horses. Thank you so much to Cadcol Web Design and Meredith Hilt for making it happen for us! Please be sure to check out our website on a regular basis as we will be updating our "happenings" and horses for adoption on a regular basis.

The Foundation had our annual yard sale on April 28, 2007, and we want to thank all who donated and assisted us in making this sale a success. Remember, don't throw out that treasure! Donate it to the Gingersnap Girls Foundation for next year's sale!

We are also excited to announce that we are joining Petfinder.com within the next few weeks. Our horses and ponies that we have for adoption will be listed on Petfinder.com and we hope that you'll check it out. It's a great site!

We want everyone to join us in welcoming our newest board members. Amy Kassens Delery is a lifelong animal lover, having also served on the board of the New Orleans SPCA. Amy and her daughters, Elizabeth and Blair, are invaluable friends and supporters of the Gingersnap Girls Foundation. Also, Nancy J. Hall, DVM, has graciously agreed to join the board. Dr. Hall, of Blue Ridge Veterinary Hospital in Purcellville, Virginia, has been a wonderful friend for many years and been a tremendous source of support to us as our veterinarian. We are so happy to have both of these wonderful, animal loving, women join us.

The Foundation is so pleased to announce that we have placed over 10 horses into loving homes in the past six months. We have recently taken in a former polo pony, Liebling. She is a "dear one", as her name states and she is looking for a quiet home to enjoy her retirement. Liebling is wonderful around other horses and people! She would make an excellent pet and can be ridden lightly. She is barely 15 hands and wonderful!!

Southern States Cooperative has been most kind to enroll us in their S.H.O.W. program (please see Bag Tags page). This program is an easy way for all to help the Gingersnap Girls continue our work helping the equines.

In February, the Foundation received a telephone call from Emily Breen at Whole Foods Market at Fair Lakes, Virginia. They wanted to donate apples for the horses. Upon arriving at Whole Foods Market, Ann (our founder) and Bob (our treasurer) were overwhelmed by the kindness of the employees. Our trusty old Suburban was loaded up with bushel after bushel of wonderful apples. The horses enjoyed them for several weeks (apples keeping well in the cool of the barn!). Whole Foods has been most generous to us in the past, as well, and we wish to extend a big THANK YOU to them.

We've kept busy these past few months introducing our "kids" to so many people. This past week we've had visitors ranging in age from eight years old to 84 years old! Please call us and make an appointment to come out and visit, see what we do, and see how you might be able to help end the suffering for one horse or pony.
