Several local businesses pitching in to help Double B EquineRescue
INDUSTRY - Double B Equine Rescue, owned by Brenda and Linwood Green, needshelp. According to Brenda Green, much of the escue’s hay money was spent on vetbills this year.
To help, several local businesses are doing what they can to help out byhosting a Ladies' Night Out fundraiser on Wednesday, July 18 to be held atRobin’s Flower Pot, Greenhouses and Landscape Nursery on Webster Road inFarmington.
“This fundraiser couldn’t have come at a better time,” Brenda Green saidtearfully. “Although some hay has been donated and coming soon, the barn iscurrently empty. We lost three of our older horses this year and two neededsurgery. We have four more horses coming in next week. That brings us to 20horses.”
