We would like to take this opportunity to tell you about our daughter Corrie and her horse Starbuck. We need your help , but first we would like to give you a little background before we tell you how you can help. Thank you for taking time to read this letter. Our daughter Corrie has always wanted to have riding lessons, and since we moved back to the country, she has wanted a horse. We have the space for a horse but not the funds to get one. Corrie was fourteen when she started this endeavor. She started babysitting and cleaning homes for neighbors to earn money for a horse. Before long she had enough to get one. We prayed that God would show us the right horse to get and we believe He did. She knew she would need to save her money to provide hay and regular care for Starbuck as well. She has been able to do this for the most part. Corrie paid for her horse and the two are a beautiful pair. We have guided her through, helping when needed, but encouraging her to stick to her responsibility. She has done a fine job. This is how Starbuck became a part of our lives. As some of you already know, the Christian radio station WPER 90.5 FM has sponsored a Perfect Pets Contest. We entered Starbuck because she is a perfect pet for Corrie. The love and bond they are building together is a awesome thing to behold. It is amazing how far they have come in such a short time. Starbuck loves our kids and they love her. She is now very willing for them to just hop up and ride. This brings us to the point of this letter. We need your vote for Starbuck. They started with 6oo pets and are now down to the top ten. Starbuck has made it to the final round. If you would consider helping us and our daughter, Corrie, we would consider it a big blessing. If she wins, Corrie would like to buy a saddle that fits her and Starbuck as well as a few other things needed. What we need you to do is to go http://www.wper.org/html/pet_voting1.html on the internet and click on the Perfect Pets button and follow that through to the voting area. Watch Starbuck’s video and vote for her. You will see from the video that Starbuck loves our family and friends. Thanks for all the help, and Blessings to all, Tom and Kathy Slater
