Santa Baby Poem shared

Santa Baby, the Equestrian Version

by Therese Jardine

Santa baby, slip a saddle under the tree,
For me.
been an awful good girl,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa baby, a Crewcab Dually too,
Light blue.
I'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the horse shows that I had to skip,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you'll check off my Christmas list,

Santa baby, could you have bought,
a brand new trailer ??- that's not a lot,
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa honey, there's one thing I really do need,
a Steed
Nicely Pedigreed,
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with hay,
And grain.
In the loft would be fine,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With bits and spurs bought at Tiffany's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
The covered riding kind,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight.

A page from an 87 yr old. horsewoman's journal
This is for all the women here who will no doubt shed a tear as they nod in agreement and for the men in the group who might just understand why we do what we do. I hope my fingers still work well enough that I may write something like this when I am 87.


I Ride

I ride. That seems like such a simple statement. However as many women who ride know it is really a complicated matter. It has to do with power and empowerment. Being able to do things you might have once considered
out of reach or ability. I have considered this as I shovel
manure, fill water barrels in the cold rain, wait for the
vet/farrier/electrician/hay delivery, change a tire on a horse trailer by the side of the freeway, or cool a gelding out before getting down to the business of drinking a
cold beer after a long ride.

The time, the money, the effort it takes to ride calls for
dedication. At least I call it dedication. Both my ex-husbands call it 'the sickness'. It's a sickness I've had since I was a small girl bouncing my model horses and dreaming of the day I would ride a real horse. Most of the women I ride with understand the meaning of 'the sickness'. It's not a sport. It's not a hobby. It's what we do and, in some ways, who we are as women and human beings.

I ride. I hook up my trailer and load my gelding. I haul to some trailhead somewhere, unload, saddle, whistle up my dog and I ride. I breathe in the air, watch the sunlight filter through the trees and savor the movement of my horse. My shoulders relax. A smile rides my sunscreen smeared face. I pull my ball cap down and let the real world fade into the tracks my horse leaves in the dust.

Time slows. Flying insects buzz loudly, looking like fairies. My
gelding flicks his ears and moves down the trail. I can smell
his sweat and it is perfume to my senses. Time slows. The rhythm of the walk and the movement of the leaves become my focus. My saddle creaks and the leather rein in my hand softens with the warmth.

I consider the simple statement; I ride. I think of all I do
because I ride. Climb granite slabs, wade into a freezing lake, race a friend through the Manzanita all the while laughing and feeling my heart in my chest. Other days just the act of mounting and dismounting can be a real accomplishment. Still I ride, no matter how tired or how
much my seat bones or any of the numerous horse related injuries hurt. I ride. And I feel better for doing so.

The beauty I've seen because I ride amazes me. I've ridden out to find lakes that remain for the most part, unseen. Caves, dark and cold beside rivers full and rolling are the scenes I see in my dreams. The Granite Stairway at Echo Summit, bald eagles on the wing and bobcats on the prowl add to the empowerment and joy in my heart.

I think of the people, mostly women, I've met. I consider how
competent they all are. Not a weenie amongst the bunch.. We haul 40ft rigs, we back into tight spaces without clipping a tree. We set up camp. Tend the horses. We cook and keep safe. We understand and love our companions, the horse. We respect each other and those we encounter on
the trail. We know that if you are out there riding, you also
shovel, fill, wait and doctor. Your hands are a little rough and you travel with out makeup or hair gel. You do without to afford the 'sickness' and probably, when you were a small girl, you bounced a model horse while you dreamed of riding a real one.

Mike Perry with Military Network asks for your help

Mike Perry, Veteran – USAF (R) - USAF 20 years, ‘Desert Storm’ needs help: pec371@yahoo.com http://earlnightingale.com.au/military_network/

Establishing contact with transitioning Military personnel?
Does anyone out here have any ideas on methods I can use to get the word out to our transitioning forces about employment opportunities as well as the other services we offer? I understand that the military leadership recently relaxed the rules on social and professional networking on line, and I’m trying to figure out which networks our forces are primarily using. Your feedback, thoughts and ideas will be highly appreciated.

I have approached the TAP leadership for the Air Force in a first step to create a relationship, but communications with them is slow to nonexistent right now. Any assistance in this area will be highly appreciated as well.

PS: We are not a recruitment agency or recruiters - we are facilitators and helpers. None of our services cost any Military individual anything -

A Little Morning Humor

...
This morning as the cat parade was going out the door to the patio, my mom's dog Candy decided to sheppard them along, she was focused on nosing the kitten along the floor when he bolted for the Christmas tree. That's right the beautiful tree is off limits fully decorated. Up the tree he went followed by Candy. Mom standing there having fits trying to catch him and shooing Candy away. I put Candy outside with cats to play and go to the tree. I see the baby already on the Tree Skirt with his prize "toy" After all he stole it from the tree almost from the top. It was a red bell, the kind found on reindeer collars. It was just the right size to fit in his mouth. He wasn't letting go either. His little baby teeth had it and was shaking it and batting it between his dainty little paws. I stole it back and presented it to mom to return to tree. And the cat parade was completely outside safe from future thefts of pretty ornaments.

Is a TRO in BLM’s Future? Mustang roundup moratorium rejected

Mustang roundup moratorium rejected

Courts » Wild horse advocates are considering their legal options.
By Martin Griffith
The Associated Press
Updated: 11/15/2009 07:34:35 PM MST

Reno, Nev. » Wild horse advocates say they have no recourse but the courts after federal land managers rejected their request for an immediate moratorium on mustang roundups.
The Bureau of Land Management plans to remove more than 30,000 horses from Western rangelands over the next three years to deal with soaring numbers of the animals and the cost to manage them.
The Equine Welfare Alliance, which represents more than 60 organizations, is considering its legal options after the BLM rejected its request to halt the roundups, said John Holland, its president.
The Chicago-based coalition opposes Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's proposal to move thousands of mustangs to preserves in the Midwest and East to protect horse herds and the rangelands that support them. Salazar has said his plan unveiled last month would avoid the slaughter of some of the 69,000 wild horses and burros under federal control to halt the rising cost of maintaining them.
"The BLM continues to say wild horses are overrunning the range, but they have no scientific evidence," Holland said. "We're going to file everything we can afford to, with what resources we can gather."
BLM spokesman Tom Gorey said his agency thinks there's scientific evidence to justify the removal of 11,500 of the animals from the range over each of the next three years.
The agency has set a target "appropriate management level" of
Advertisement

26,600 of the animals in the wild, about 10,000 below the current level. An additional 32,000 of them are cared for in government-funded corrals and pastures.
"We're confident that our scientific analysis stands up to scrutiny," Gorey said. "The herd sizes double every four years, so it's untenable to suggest we do a moratorium."
The Equine Welfare Alliance has questioned the BLM's horse numbers and said there was no evidence justifying removal of the romantic symbols of the American West.
Holland said horse advocates now are considering legal action to block certain individual planned roundups, including one targeting 2,500 mustangs near Gerlach in northern Nevada. Nevada is home to about half of the horses in the wild.
"It's very difficult to go after a program like this, and the BLM knows it," Holland said. "You have to go after it piecemeal."
The roundups are coming at a time when there are almost as many wild horses in holding pens as on the range.
The BLM has completely eliminated some herds and left remaining herds genetically unviable as a result of reduced numbers and mares that were given birth control, Holland said.
"The roundups will eliminate the wild herd," he said. "I think they underestimate the feeling of the American people about this wild heritage."
Gorey said some horse advocates' claims that the BLM is trying to "exterminate" the animals is "pure propaganda."
The agency is merely trying to bring horse numbers down to protect rangelands for the mustangs, native wildlife and other resources, he said.
There were 25,000 of the animals on the range in 1971, when a federal law protecting them was passed by Congress.
Salazar's proposal will be considered at a Dec. 7 meeting in nearby Sparks of the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board.
Costs to manage the animals that are expected to jump from $36 million last year to $85 million by 2012 have prompted Salazar to propose his new approach.
The seven preserves would hold about 25,000 horses. Many of the horses remaining on the range would be neutered and reproduction in Western herds would be strictly limited.


Is a TRO in BLM’s Future?
Horseback Magazine

Is a TRO in BLM’s Future?
By Steven Long
Photo by Terry Fitch
HOUSTON, (Horseback) – Activists have been scratching their heads as the federal Bureau of Land Management sweeps America’s wild horses from the Western landscape. Why? Because the 1971 Wild Horse and Burro Act clearly set aside plenty of room for them almost 40 years ago and the agency appears to be in violation of federal law.
The first paragraph of the law is clear cut.
“It is the policy of Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands.”
Helicopter induced stampedes, multiple brands, killing, and capture of the horses are prohibited, yet all happen on BLM gathers - violations that happen now weekly by the thousands.
Yet BLM consistently says there is no room for the animals as it administers almost 260 million acres of largely vacant land and leases whole chunks of wild horse acreage set aside by Congress for wild horses to ranchers for grazing, land that could be returned to Mustang habitat under the law.
Moreover, the agency consistently has sloppy bookkeeping in its wild horse and burro program that appears to be often blatantly misleading yet ignored by congressional oversight.
What has prompted furious head scratching by wild horse lovers is the vexing question of why a smart lawyer on their side hasn’t marched into federal court with a request for a temporary restraining order tucked in his briefcase to stop the so called BLM “gathers.”
Such an injunction could bring the roundups to a screeching halt.
A case in point is the landmark injunction issued by Texas Judge William Wayne Justice who died recently. By his order, the state’s prison system was changed from the “Boss Hog” era to the state of the art correctional system we see today in the Lone Star State. The injunction held for 30 years.
On the surface, such an action against BLM appears clear cut. The 1971 law is written in plain language and to a layman, the BLM is in blatant violation of it.
National organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States who have the wherewithal to file such a lawsuit have been woefully absent in the fight, animal welfare advocates say.
They point to the recent roundup in Montana’s Pryor Mountains where the iconic stallion Cloud and his herd were captured, some mares sterilized, and broken up. They claim the Pryor Mountain horses are no longer genetically viable as a herd.
HSUS was nowhere to be seen during the Labor Day week controversy.
The Pryor horses horses are a recognized breed in the official Horse Breeds Standards Guide, If the activists claims are correct, a federal agency has wiped out a recognized breed of horse by making its only herd genetically bankrupt.
Activists aren’t the only interested parties with an itch. Even lawyers with a specialty in animal activism are scratching their heads at why nobody has sought an injunction.
“I'm not sure either,” said one attprmey who declined to be identified. “It would have seemed the best course a couple of years ago instead of all this piecemeal litigation, but there is a belief among, I guess, most of the lawyers who do this that it is better to challenge each BLM action, keep on top of them that way, because we can't stop the gathers or BLM's role.”
And large scale litigation is expensive and no lawyer willing to work on a huge landmark case for free has come forward.
“I see a basis for a suit,” the lawyer told Horseback Online “If you know of any attorneys who are respected in Washington and licensed to practice in federal court, send them my way.”

Forgeting something

I took candy for a walk. She was happy to get of the house and have some fun. We stopped when she demanded it to smell something good from the grass, then when I thought it was time to go, she let me know she was in charge and she was going to potty right there! Then when we continued on it was more of this attitude.

When we returned, I went to the computer and she sat right in front of me giving me the look. You know the "did you forget something" look. She stared me down until it dawned on me she wanted her treat right then and there! She followed me all the way to her personal stash of dog biscuits. She sat regally until I gave her one, then while she crunched it down she looked over to see if I had more. Which of course I did as I was training her in obedience.

Finally, she was satisfied after she received 4 halves of which equaled 2 whole biscuit cookie treats.
Afterwards she went back to lying down staring out the window guarding her lawn.

Our pets always let us know when we've forgotten something important to them.

UPDATED INFO ON MARCUS LUTTRELL WARRIOR LEGACY RANCH

Fresh from the horses mouth: little humor. I'm updating my sites.

John Wagner: Sr Dir, OPS: Warrior Legacy Foundation: 303-378-1020
john.wagner@warriorlegacyfoundation.org

John says to please contact him. There were some unresolved issues. He had no idea Facebook was deleted at that time, though it was expected. They are merging entities and some legalities have arose concerning the merger. John also was not told of any offers sent to Billy Shelton of help or partnership. He says to expect all the social media sites to be deleted or renamed. Facebook will go back up eventually.

Please continue to support Marcus Luttrell Warrior Legacy Ranch. Do not let these little interruptions keep you from helping others.

new pics coming today

I'm going to shanghai my son and his video cam to take pics of 2 kits infiltrating the Christmas tree and let's not forget the hold down the beef jerky they're gobbling up. This baby is only 2 months old and eats like a carnivore. Very cute..

You just had to see the baby face peeking through the branches and the other one stalking him up the tree. :)

Christmas tree is up

We finished putting our Christmas tree up last night. This morning I find fireball inside the tree. He was stealthily climbing and scratching his little nails. I know they're little because I clipped them. Luckily for us, the ornaments are not on it yet. I can't wait to see his reactions to lights and a moving tree.

Fantasy thinks all the glittery balls with bells are her own personal stash of toys. If someone shows an interest she picks it up in her mouth and runs.

The vitamins I picked up for the cats to supplement their diet is working really well. No more sneezing cat snot everywhere, mostly me as they sleep in my bed. No more irritated eyes. No more moping about.

Snowball likes to play with hair and plants.

I have an active interest in a special home in Virginia to purchase in a couple of months. It has a barn already in good condition. It is over 4000 sq ft. I won't say more until the contract has been signed. I will tell you Va will be my home base of operations and Washington and Texas will be satellite offices to open in a timely manner after I move. I already have people letting me know they'd like to work for me.

As a business owner I am responsible for everything. One time I had my magnetic sign on my vehicle. Someone else drove it recklessly, and I had to deal with the fallout. Rightfully so, now I'm much more careful. I always invite questions and comments because I have nothing to hide.

Respect, Honor, Loyalty, Integrity...these things mean something to me. Christmas tree is up, holiday candy decoratively placed around home, cinnamon broom by fireplace, Festive spirit in the air! I love Christmas.

Little update

So for the past few days I bought several cans of KMR and a tube of multi vitamin and antioxidents chicken flavored paste. All the cats loved it, and 2 of them cleared their colds and allergies up. The depressed one had way more energy and actually was running and playing again. He also had KMR, he feels much better.

Just as vitamins are important to humans they are more so to cats. Because if their bodies go out of sinc, within a day or two they can die of shock. Most pet foods are low in necessary nutrients. Nutripet is one of the few that is not. However our Nutripet is on order. So vitamins are necessary for the pets diet to keep them healthy.

I also bought some toys, 1 required batteries..it basically is a feather attached to a swivel attached to a moving ball. That is the great attraction. That toy has a fan club that circles it, catches it, drags it, swats it, pounces...basically teaching the cat how to be a better hunter. The other balls were bright, glittery, with bells inside. Fantasy picked it up in her mouth and ran inside to play with it. I've yet to find them all from her personal stash.

This morning 3 kitties were staring at a squirrel above their heads on screen, 1 was getting ready to have breakfast, I couldn't allow that one to tear screen to get to such a tempting toy because he was used to feeding himself with live squirming food....I got several dirty looks for helping squirrel.

TV Interview

TV Interview


Wed evening at 6:45 to 7pm this episode will air.


WKMG-DT CBS Channel 6 news local to Orlando, FL.


Erick Weber was the reporter who interviewed me for this incredible story. He was very professional and had plenty of the right kinds of questions. He made sure the cameraman had plenty of photos with the kits and dog. Erick also played with Snowball and the aloe plant on camera.


We covered the economy, the pet sitting business, boarding, web site upkeep, Home Owners association rules, how I became involved, my background. He also asked mt to spell my first and last name as well as just what kinds of animals I had cared for previously, and to tell cute or scary pet sitting stories. Such as pet afraid of meeting you for the first time. He then had me sit at my computer and do "make believe" work for the camera on my website. Little did he know there really is never ending (or so it seems) work to do for my website.


His leave taking was a little hurried, as he had to interrupt his interview to move his vehicle so mom could go to work. And Matt kept asking him gaming questions and if his station would do a story on him (He owns the HallowLife Corp), luckily for me this was after my interview and most of the photos had been taken.


All in all it was a great success. I have the DVR set to tape the interview on TV and Erick said there would be a link to my website on Channel 6 news's website. He hoped this would get me some business and attention focused on the kinds of limits some people would go to to support their children and family.

My only regret was that he did not seem interested in the Military non profits I support or why. However, anyone looking at my website will see several links to the Military Non Profits I support such as Marcus Luttrell Warrior Legacy Ranch.

Abandoned Kits Update

Abandoned Kits Update
You can see how Fireball and Snowball are doing via video posted on Youtube Landscaping video or Facebook Business Page.

Here is an update of what has been happening.

An 18 yr old (KAT) abusive party girl, homeless, jobless, animal control removed all her animals....took snowball from a mother cat she threw into woods to keep from going to pound, snowball was 1 week old. She fed him human milk and cereal, bits of hotdog. Abandoned him to Christina within 2 days who in turn abandoned him after eviction from home.

We picked up Snowball and Fireball, both were severely malnourished and sick, lying listlessly in ashtray overflowing with ashes and cigarette butts,and made healthy and fattened, rid of fleas, worms etc. Now she demands we give her Snowball in 2 weeks.

What would you do? Legally she has no rights. Christina was informed of our decision and agrees since she can hardly feed her kids. She admits she hates cats, won't kill them and will feed them.

We've had them for months and not once has KAT contacted us. Christina has asked once 2 months in as an after thought how they were.

Via phone call today, Christina was spoken with regarding Kat and her threats. Both kits are in our custody and will be neutered and licensed and relocated.

Wild Mustangs, BLM, ROAM

« They Keep Coming… new youtubeListen in »
Mustangs on the Hill and Press Conference
By thecloudfoundation
Mustangs on the Hill was a success I do believe! Thank you to everyone!– **read an ARTICLE by Erin Kelly, Washington Gannett Bureau here**

The day began with a press conference and to start, Carol Walker showed her slideshow of the tragic Sand Wash roundup and Ginger described Cloud’s release and his defiant stand against the helicopter that drove him and his family down from their mountaintop. Hope Ryden, our honorary board member, author and one of the writers of the Wild Horse and Burro Act of 1971, spoke and met with Senators all day.

We were honored by a visit with Congressman Raul Grijalva and he addressed the full room of 60 wild horse supporters- he is a true champion for our wild horses and burros. Congressman Grijalva stressed that the ROAM act is bipartisan and will save all of us taxpayers money now currently used for mismanagement by BLM


Congressman Raul Grijalva at Press Conference


“This is not only a humane issue, this is an issue about preserving a legacy that we have in the west, that we have lost. A legacy that I think speaks to the spirit of the west, to its independence, to its adaptability and above all to its evolution. And its not the old west anymore, it’s a new west. And a new west with a different ethic. A new west where we preserve the resources that are important to us. And with that I join with Chairman Rahall in this legislation and we’re very proud of it. It could have been stronger, there is some perfection that I would have wanted, but this is the process that we have and this is the product that we have. And as we move forward I would hope that as we wait for the senate we’re going to continue to urge BLM, that we hold in abeyance any more gathering until the full impact of the legislation is felt.” [excerpt]

Thank you t0 Congressman Grijalva for his support of wild horses and burros. And for Congressman Rahall and Senator Byrd and Senator Landrieu as well—all four are our wild horse champions! The press conference will be streamed online early next month I hope and we’ll let you know when it is available to watch. Congressman Grijalva was also kind enough to take questions for quite a while.

Our friend and supporter, Crow Elder and Historian Howard Boggess, spoke next– he grew up in the Pryors and was there well before the BLM. (Meet Howard in the Pryors on this youtube for a frank discussion). Chris Heyde of the Animal Welfare Institute, was integral to this event and spoke on meeting etiquette and distributed packets of information to give to Senators (see contents here: ROAM Act S. 1579 facts, Wild Horse and Burro Facts and Myths, Words to Keep Them Wild and Free, Managing for Extinction booklet, Cloud: Challenge of the Stallions show announcement– people are going to be watching our wild horses nationwide on October 25th and they will know about this recent roundup).

Then we fanned out in true advocate style and met with over 45 Senate offices (Senators and aides). We met with all the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources members and everyone met with their Senators.

We had some amazing supporters who made this press conference and this hill day happen: Valerie, PJ and Lindsay: thank you! And a big thank you to everyone who came– age 8 to 80! And thanks to everyone for calling your senators. More recommendations and follow-up strategy to come. We are all a bit exhausted and I still have to let you know all about rescuing the older horses! We thank the Senators and their staff for their time and their interest in the wild horses and burros. I think that we have made a positive impact and have spoken for those who cannot.

Bird watching fun

Fireball just learned the danger in bird watching from the ledge of the deep end of pool, SPLASH roll swim, jump 4 ledge & drag himself out

Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch the place to have fun. Right now watching boarder kits racing around pool, jumping, rolling...beautiful sight.

video of clients and pets having fun

This video covers from 2007-2009.

From kittens growing to adulthood, from Christmas parties, to Mother's Day, to introducing other pets to each other and socializing them. Chilling out, dipping in the pool, relaxing on the bed, playing with toys, and to celebrating Nick's return from his kidnapping.

It's all there. The dynamics of running a successful business is communication. We treat all animals as if they were our own children and family member.

Fireball and Snowball

Fireball and Snowball are the 2 kits we're boarding. I've taken lots of photos and will be posting them soon.

My young son just bought his 2nd vehicle, then went and purchased kitten supplies. Still trying to put weight on the 6 mo old, now that I've gotten rid of all the fleas, worms, ear mites, heat stroke...

Videos to be place on Youtube and linked to myspace, facebook, and here of course. Look for those to be in place by Saturday.

I want to thank my mom for allowing me to board pets in relation to my business and sons for helping me care for the babies by purchasing special food and toys too.

We at Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch care for your pets as if they were our own children.

I don't take many inside pictures, the critters are just too fast for me and they prefer to try and stalk the birds and each other.

All animals in my care receive attention and loving care.

Pets Love and PTSD and Healing Proven

Pets give us unconditional love. Cats purr and cuddle with us. Dogs lay in our laps and cuddle with us. They give us love, a good feeling.


Pets have proven to lengthen their owners lives by keeping them loved and happy.


Nursing home patients have shown marked improvement with pet visits weekly.


Wounded soldiers respond to unconditional care and concern from their pets, who can't pity them or blame them or judge them.


Pets are part of the key to helping soldiers with PTSD. Solitude is also a must for the beginning to help them reaclimate to society.


I am working towards that goal to help others.

Summary of experience and dedication

I was raised on a small farm growing up. I learned to handle horses from a young age. I have been rescuing cats and dogs for years. I educated myself on the best techniques to handle temperamental ferals and domesticated animals.

We fill a need in the community. Who cares for out brave soldiers pets when they go on assignment? We do!

Christi was raised on a small farm growing up in the woods. It left a profound impact on her. She noticed a distinct lack in her area for critters when the owners went on vacation and boarded them at a vet where the majority of their time is spent in a cage. Who wants to stay in a cage all day? No one! She is experienced in handling horses, stallions too, bunnies, ferrets, cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, and gerbils.

I have 2 young men helping me.

We are competent and caring for every critter to arrive to us as clients. We train, bathe, groom, walk, play with and care for your loved one.

We are registered with the Federal Government should they wish to use our services. Expanded Services allow us to help more Military clients and Wounded Warriors and Navy Seals Wounded. Expanded Services to include Horses, Trail Riding, Boarding, among many other fun and exciting activities. There are no nearby ranches that can compete with us. We are a for profit business and any donations are appreciated for this fundraising effort.

Pryors Roundup Stopped Early
E-mail Print PDF

Wednesday, 09 September 2009 20:24

The roundup of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses is over after six days- the wild horse and burro specialist made the decision to call it so the helicopter did not go out today and no more horses were brought in. The reasons given for ending this roundup were:

* The gather operation is nearly complete and horses were coming in sore-footed.
* one mare (Brumby) tied up on Monday night
* The BLM feels it would be hard on the remaining horses to be brought in
* There is a new little black foal on the mountain top

There were 11 horses on the mountain (including two older mares, Electra and Quelle Colour) that BLM had slated for removal. In place of those horses they are taking young horses from bands already in the pens. More on the individuals soon.

1. Release the older horses– horses over ten need to be returned to the range, it is cruel and inhumane to remove these horses and they are not appropriate adoption animals and should not be added to the already full BLM holding facilities. They deserve to live out their lives in freedom.

2. Reduce the number of horses to be removed to 20 young horses between ages 1-2 for adoption.

3. Ask for increased scrutiny of the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program. Our wild horse and Burros need immediate change and an end to their mismanagement.

Business Plan Looking for Investor/Partner

Executive Summary for Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch:

www.freewebs.com/wildcatsancuaryranch

www.zazzle.com/wildcatranch

Yahoo groups/wildcatsanctuaryranch




1.0 Executive Summary

Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch will be a business entity which applies 21st century technology and business practices to an ageless business

environment. Live business experimentation over the last 12 months has identified that this modern approach to a traditional business yields a substantial competitive edge and extraordinary customer appeal. The overall concept, once fully operational, will be highly successful, able to sustain a profitable company with the potential to expand exponentially. This business plan is submitted in an effort tosecure start-up funding in the amount of $200,000 to allow Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch to graduate from experimentation into a fully operational business entity. The funding request incorporates a healthy ratio of additional investment and operating capital. These are intended to provide the final pieces necessary to implement the plan while providing a safe and realistic ramp-up period towards a profitable future.



Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch is currently a home based business, located north of Orlando, in Seminole County, Florida, and is owned and operated by Christi J. Hubbard and family. A successful business career

culminating in a final position as U.S. Sales & Operations Manager for

Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch, in conjunction with over three years of

experience in the area of this business proposal, provides a foundation

of expertise and experience that further assures the success ofthis venture. The full implementation of this plan requires no further

employees, but does require land to be purchased for this business

location, thus providing for the lowest possible operating costs without sacrificing any revenue potential. Rather, it concentrates on providing a full range of traditional products (with a powerful and unique addition) through e-commerce, event attendance, and home based sales.



Highlights

1.1 Business Overview We will be aiding our Federal Government through contracts with them. We will be hosting Wounded Warriors and operating out of 3 different states: Seattle, Washington, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Central Florida. We sell personalized products online and pet sit/house sit for our customers. It is of critical importance at the outset of reviewing this business

plan, that the reviewer be willing to break some general preconceptions

over the general nature of Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch business. Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch is not a farm. Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch is not a working horse ranch yet. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch is a Web-centric, event vendor, and retail location resale company. There are two traditional ways to help visualize Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch: 1. A pet store, selling pet quality animals (in this case horses) to the general public. 2. A full line tack and equine supply store.

In example #1 above, this option simply does not currently exist for

the horse buyer (virtually every other type of pet, but not for horses). Hobby horse owners are forced to purchase horses through either: A) a "breed farm" offering a quality of horse well beyond the buyer?s needs and price range, or B) through a variety of "horse trader" outlets, none of which employ even a minimal level of acceptable business practice.

This leaves the buyer with the choice of paying too much for something

they do not need, or buying through unscrupulous sources that more often than not, lead to a bad (and dangerous) purchase.

In example #2 above, tack and equine supply companies are a traditional

and solid business. However, not a single tack shop takes maximum

advantage of the symbiotic requirements of the horse and the supply.

Every horse buyer is a potential tack and supply customer. Every tack

and supply buyer is a potential horse buyer. It is only logical, and an

unfilled market niche, to combine the two, thereby offering the buyer a

1-stop shopping opportunity.

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will operate a retail location at our location. Wildcat's Sanctuary Ranch will attend equine events in Ocala, Florida; Kentucky, and other nearby equine events as a vendor. Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch will maintain a strong Web presence with an online catalog and shopping capability. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch applies modern business practices and technology to one of the oldest and most reliable markets.



1.2 Personal Credit Worthiness

In the critical area of personal credit worthiness, we ask the reviewer

to make particular note of this section and include it with all

considerations for this loan request. We have enjoyed a historically excellent personal credit history. Early in 1999 we began to identify the business opportunity that has since resulted in this business proposal and request for funding. We set our sites on this goal and began investing heavily, with every available personal resource, in the experimentation that has led to the current Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch formula. At times perhaps, we invested too heavily. During the course of 1999 and through the present date, we have had to carefully play the "cash flow game." At times we have fallen behind, and at times we have pulled ahead. At present we are even. We make note of this to the reviewer since we expect some degree of negative reflection to appear on a standard credit report. We would ask that the reviewer consider the level of dedication and investment that we have put forth prior to seeking a formal funding package, along with our credit rating prior to this time period. The key issue is that we have executed our personal finances responsibly in the past, and have only stretched our personal financial limits in pursuit of this opportunity. We hope you will consider these factors favorably.



1.3 Objectives Successful first benchmark operation to achieve the following

measurable results: 20 location customers, attendance at two horse

events, and 500 "Web Hits" per month resulting in: 1. $4,500/month in

tack & product sales at an average of 30% net for $1,350/month revenue.

2. $1,000/month in manufactured product sales at an average of 60% net

for $600/month revenue. 3. $20,000/month in horse sales at an average of 30% net for $6,000/month revenue. For an initial achievement benchmark of $25,500 gross, $7,950 net, per month.



1.4 Mission

Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch will consolidate and legitimize the

representation and sale of a complete line of horse products, including

the horse itself, in a safe and professional business environment. It is focused towards the needs of the pleasure horse owner, those most at

risk from the traditional horse selling business. Our success will be

built upon customer satisfaction brought about by complete business

integrity. We will remain constantly in search of new product offerings

which offer value to the customer and reasonable profit to Wildcat?s

Sanctuary and Ranch. We will utilize modern technology and methodology to insure Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch increases its visibility, customer base, and resulting success. Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch will establish itself as the company that set the new standard of business in the pleasure horse industry, and the one against which all others that follow will be compared.



2.0 Company Summary

Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch is a retail sales organization targeted at the needs of the middle to upper class pleasure horse owner/buyer. It serves this purpose in two primary ways. First, by providing a legitimate and professional horse buying experience, virtually unavailable anywhere else. Second, by providing a "1-Stop Shop" source for a complete line of products needed to support, care for, and enjoy their horse.



2.1 Company Ownership

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will be wholly owned and privately held by Christi J. Hubbard, most likely as an LLC entity. The final business

form however, will be decided after consultation with a business

attorney to determine the most advantageous form given the specifics of

our business. The expense for this legal consultation and execution has

been included in the Start-Up Costs section of this business plan.



2.2 Start-up Summary

The following table shows the start-up funding requirements, and use

thereof, for Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch to become operational. It contains $68,500 in start-up expenditures, $14,500 in inventory investment, and $42,000 in operating capital for the first six months of Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch operation. To fund these requirements, we are seeking a ten-year loan of $200,000 for the business.

2.3 Company Locations and Facilities

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will be located and primarily operatedat our residential address in Seminole county, Florida until land has been purchased for this enterprise. It offers sufficient space to advertise and sell products for the business until land can be purchased to maintain, train, show, and sell the horses and product lines offered by Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch in a rural setting centrally located to the vast majority of Central Florida, as well as North Florida. As part of this business plan, Wildcat Sanctuary and Ranch intends to add a small tack shop and business office at this location. We also intend to purchase 50 ? 60 acres of additional nearby land for the keeping of additional horse inventory and the production of sufficient hay to feed the stock. Business done at this location only accounts for one segment of the overall operation. Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch will regularly attend horse events at Ocala, Florida; Kentucky, and other nearby equine events, (three of the most active horse competition venues in America) as a product vendor on a regular basis. Wildcat Sanctuary and Ranch will execute a third, major segment of its business via e-commerce, utilizing an active website featuring an online catalog for tack and equipment sales executed over the World Wide Web. This site is currently in production and will be listed and the reviewer is encouraged to visit for a working

demonstration of this segment of the Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch overall strategy.



Products

3.0 Products

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch provides a unique "1-Stop Shopping" experience for the pleasure horse owner/buyer by providing a complete line of horse related products, including the horse itself, at our locations in Seattle, Washington, Virginia Beach, Virginia, Central Florida; as a vendor at horse events, and with a website offering online catalog and purchase capabilities.



3.1 Product Description

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch is involved in the marketing and sale of three primary categories: 1. riding horses. 2. Full line of resale products. 3. Limited line of Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch manufactured products.



1. Riding horses.

This is the single greatest area of opportunity for Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch, and the foundation for our business. It has been identified as an empty, but much needed, market niche. The number of people who wish to buy a horse, or horses, for family use in Florida, given the rural nature of our state, is countless. These people currently have four choices of places from which to buy:

Private individuals who are selling a horse. This usually

involves a poorly trained animal with bad (dangerous) habits in

potentially poor condition. Horse auctions in which there are nearly

no rules of business integrity and only the most experienced horse

people have any hope of discerning a good animal from the majority of

poor animals that are sold through auction. "Horse Traders" who are,

I am sorry to say, some of the most unscrupulous salespeople I have ever encountered. To the last they employ a variety of tricks, drugs, and misrepresentations; in essence, doing whatever is necessary to make a sale. Horse Ranches which sell only registered and bloodline stock

that, while typically well trained and conditioned, are priced for

competitive use far beyond the reach or needs of the typical buyer.

We have discovered that by working with a few select sources, we are

able to purchase exceptional riding horses at very reasonable prices. We can then apply Web marketing and professional business practices to

offer these horses for sale at a comfortable profit margin. Customers,

most of who have been "burned" in previous purchase attempts through

the sources listed above, are relieved when they encounter our business

practice. They are more comfortable with the standard business ethics we apply, satisfied with the price, and anxious to tell others to make

their future purchases through Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. The sale of horses will take place almost entirely at our residence.



2. Full line of resale products.

This is probably the most traditional aspect of the Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch business plan. We have found a variety of horse related product distributors and manufacturers anxious to have us resell their products. Specifically we have reached agreement with: Quixtar, Southern Wholesale Tack, full line of horse tack and care products. Cheval Publishing, HorseBiz and PedigreeBiz equine & farm management software. Pelikan Industries, distributor of 2.4 GHz wireless CCTV systems, ideal for barn & mare monitoring. These initial relationships have been established over the last three months, primarily to experiment with the willingness and terms of the providers. Having successfully completed this exercise, we plan to attend "Equitana," the largest equine trade show in the world, this coming June, to establish additional relationships for resale products. The resale of products will take place primarily as we attend horse competition events around the state of Florida, secondarily via our online catalog on our website, and third, to local residents and customers who visit our facility for the purchase of horses.



3. Limited line of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch manufactured products.

We have identified a variety of horse and farm products that can be

easily manufactured at our location with minimal investment in metalwork equipment and material. Examples that we have already identified include portable corrals, portable stalls, hay feeders, saddle-racks, and modular barns. Most of these items, and many more to be experimented with in the future, can be manufactured and sold direct to the public at prices far below the mainstream products they will imitate while simultaneously providing an exceptional profit margin to Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. The resale of our Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch manufactured products will take place primarily as we attend horse competition events around the state of Florida, secondarily to local residents and customers who visit our facility for the purchase of horses, and third, via our online catalog on our website. We have selected these three primary revenue opportunities specifically for each one's ability to support the other two while complimenting our three primary sales strategies of Web commerce, event selling, and home retail location.



3.2 Competitive Comparison

The most obvious and general competitive edge possessed by Wildcat?s

Sanctuary and Ranch is the concept of "1-Stop Shopping." There is a wealth of sources from which to purchase any of the items that we will be offering. However, we are not aware of a single source that has brought together all of the various products necessary to own a horse. This is particularly attractive to the pleasure horse buyer as they typically have a very limited scope of knowledge and are grateful (and willing to pay) for consolidation. Another major competitive edge possessed by Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch is the experience and expertise of its management in business practices. A long and successful career in professional sales, marketing, and operational management gives me a foundation upon which to build this business that is extremely foreign to nearly all of the competitors. As is true in many businesses, it is often the experienced business person who is successful at a given venture while a person with an extensive background in an area fails. I have the unique ability to provide a competitive edge in simple business and marketing practices that the customers will recognize, appreciate, and reward, but of which the competitors, quite frankly, do not have a clue. Nowhere is this truer than in the cornerstone of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch, the resale of horses. It can not be stressed enough how wide open this large and profitable market is for the successful institution of professional selling practices. "Horse Trading" is a no-rules business as most who have ever purchased a horse have found out, and those who sell horses know. The most common theme among people who have contacted us during our experimentation stage is how grateful and appreciative they are of this approach. Finally, the computer and Web skills we possess, particularly in contrast to our competitors in this business, offer asubstantial competitive edge. Our ability to generate marketing

material, create and publish digital images, and create and edit our own website provides tools that are necessary by default in today's business environment. Horses, tack, and equipment can be purchased from many sources. However they can not be purchased through a single source and are not represented with business, marketing, and sales expertise. Not, that is, until Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch receives this funding package and opens for business!



3.3 Sales Literature

One of the hidden assets of the Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch management team lies in their ability to create and publish quality sales literature independently. The best example of this capability, and the central point for all future marketing efforts, is the Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch website. We encourage the reviewer of this document to visit this site now for a full review of these capabilities at:



Every facet of this website, its design, creation, upkeep, and

modifications are accomplished entirely by Christi J. Hubbard and sons

without the use of any external resource. Display literature for events

will also be produced on our home business computer system. Our computer knowledge, digital photographic equipment and expertise, graphic skills, and marketing experience makes this not only a realistic goal, but insures that we are able to create and modify appropriate and effective sales literature as needed, without delay, to respond to any immediate marketing need.



Market Analysis Summary

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

Ideally located on a state highway in central Florida, Wildcat?s

Sanctuary and Ranch has access to a major market. It is our opinion that every rural household member living on five or more acres of property is a potential Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch customer. The 1996 Census Projections reflects a total population of 3,358,044 persons living in 1,286,607 households. Of these, 39.8% live at a rural address making for 512,070 households with a total of 1,336,501 potential customers. In addition however, Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch has also had positive contact from people in Texas, Kentucky, Virginia, and the Carolinas. That said, we believe our total available market to extend well into all of the states surrounding Florida. Of course, the Web marketing segment of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch is virtually unrestricted by location and therefore provides access to the multi-million dollar equestrian market. Americans have had, and continue to have a love affair with "The Horse" since the beginning of our economy. WILDCAT?S Sanctuary and Ranch will apply maximum effort and all of our cumulative skills to leverage this love affair on a local, regional, and national level.



Strategy and Implementation Summary

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

The successful Strategy and Implementation of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch relies on the culmination of a lifetime of education and experience. We will utilize these life assets to execute the content of this plan beyond the projections contained herein. Broken into its simplest terms, the Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch strategy and implementation is based on these simple executables: 1. Five primary marketing methods: Website. Print. Event. The Internet. Referral.

2. Four primary product lines: Riding horses. Major tack & equipment.

Minor tack & supplies. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch manufactured product. 3. Three primary outlets: At our home facility. At horse events. On our website. 4. Two primary assets: Professional business skills and experience of Christi J. Hubbard. Horse knowledge and expertise of Christi J. Hubbard. 5. One primary need: Funding to allow this plan to become a reality. Together, we (Christi J. Hubbard and sons) possess every bit of experience, knowledge, ability, and proven history, to execute each of the key issues identified above. The only thing lacking is the financial resources to bring the Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch plan to fruition. Provide that single missing piece and the reviewer of this document will be "throwing the switch" on a long term, successful business entity known as Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch.



5.1 Sales Strategy

We will be utilizing experienced sales skills to close sales once we

are in contact with a prospective customer. 1. For retail horse sales

this will be accomplished through experienced pre-qualification and

matching of horse to rider, utilizing our riding expertise to show the

best aspects of the horse, and practicing basic sales skills to close

the sale. 2. For event sales this will be accomplished through standard

"retail counter sales" skills and technique, along with the all

important location, location, location (at the event with a captured

target audience). 3. For Web sales this will be accomplished through the creation and maintenance of a pleasurable, convenient, and comfortable Web catalog and online purchase capability.

Sales by Year 5.3 Marketing Strategy

The Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch Marketing Strategy relies on a variety of exposure methods, all targeted to yield maximum exposure from minimum expenditure. They include: Effective utilization of the Internet and our website will be a key factor in every marketing activity. It is our website that makes the most immediate differentiation between Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch and competing horse sellers. Cost effective print advertising in metropolitan newspapers, regional rural publications, regional horse publications, and association directories with the primary goal of driving traffic to our website. Attendance as a vendor at local horse competition events. With our proximity to three of the most active horse competition venues in America (Kentucky, Ocala, Texas) we have the unique opportunity to attend major equestrian events with the expense of overnight travel. This will yield the opportunity to sell our tack and equipment products, while in the ideal situation to identify potential horse customers and invite them to visit our home facility. We will also utilize "e-blasts" by combining an internally kept database of contacts with an outgoing merged email message highlighting current offerings, specials, and informational tidbits. Finally, we will never underestimate, and intend to leverage to the fullest extent, simple positive word-of-mouth marketing. Every horse owner typically knows several other horse owners, and/or spikes the horse owning interest in others. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will leverage this highly effective marketing method by providing an exceptional customer buying experience and pleasurable business practice.



5.3.1 Positioning Statement

For the pleasure horse owner/buyer who wishes to own or add a horse but

is not an expert in horses or horse care, Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch offers an ethical and professional "1-Stop Shop" to provide for all of their needs. Unlike the competitive forces in the market, Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch brings a complete line of products together with the horse itself while providing a safe and comfortable business environment.



5.3.2 Pricing Strategy

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will follow three primary pricing strategies in accordance with the three primary product lines: 1. Riding Horses. Our prices for quality riding horses have already been experimented with, and well accepted by the target audience. We are able to price our horses substantially below the "registered bloodline" price asked by the standard horse ranch because our buyers have no need or desire for competition or breeding quality horses. However we have also found that we are able to price our horses above the prices asked by private individuals, horse traders, and auctions because the customer puts a substantial value on the level of comfort they gain by purchasing their horse from Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch, applying professional business practices. We have been able to regularly achieve a 30% markup on the resale of our horses. 2. Resale Products. Our prices for resale products will be established just below the published list price put forth by our suppliers. This price comparison is made directly with our suppliers who typically sell online. In comparison with local retailers our prices are well below their own. In context of our resale discounts this typically equates (interestingly enough) to an average 30% markup over the discounted price we pay to our providers.



3. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch Manufactured Products. Products that we are able to manufacture ourselves result in the most attractive pricing proposition of all, to both us and the customer. Horse products, as with most special interest products, enjoy a ridiculous margin through standard outlets. Of the products we have investigated we find that we are able to produce like products for approximately 25% of the typical retail list price, mark them up an additional 60% above cost to produce, and still offer them for sale at approximately 15% less than the competing retail outlets. This provides a very nice profit margin and revenue stream from a limited product line. The overall pricing strategy is "VALUE." Value in the quality of products, value in the pricing of the products, and value for the businesspractices and methodology employed to sell the products.



5.4 Future Strategy

Not included within the tables, charts, and projections of this

business plan is a future retail location from which Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will continue and expand its' operation.

The retail location will increase retail tack sales without any

negative impact on event or Web based sales. Retail tack buyers are

accustomed, even prefer, to travel a slight distance to make saddle and

tack purchases. The distance to, and rural location of, Wildcat?s

Sanctuary and Ranch will only serve to increase the perceived value of their purchase. The retail locations, inclusive of a horse "show & sell lot" will further solidify the image of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch as a truly unique and attractive entry in the horse sale business. The growing reputation of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch coupled with the solidified image as a retail location will also increase retail horse sales. The retail location is targeted for opening during the third year of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch operation, 2011, unless business factors indicate an accelerated schedule. Given proper execution, there is no reason for the long term future of

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch not to include multiple locations. The same formula detailed within the context of this business proposal could certainly be carried to a number of other locations, initially in

surrounding states, in which a major metropolitan area exists in a

primarily rural geographic area; for example Louisiana, Kentucky,

Virginia, & Texas would be prime targets for future expansion. It is

not beyond reason to envision a chain of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch

locations offering a full line of tack and equine supply, along with the only legitimate riding horse sales companies in existence.

Should the reviewer of this plan feel that an accelerated schedule for

the opening of the first Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch retail location is warranted, additional financial analysis will be provided detailing that scenario.



Management Summary

6.0 Management Summary

Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will be co-managed by Christi J. Hubbard and sons; owner of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. The combination of our talents and experience is one of the key assets to Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. Christi J. Hubbard. Successful 20 year career in sales, law enforcement, marketing, distribution management, operational management, and senior management culminating in current position as manager of U.S. fax sales and operations for Wildcat's Sanctuary and Ranch. Knowledge and experience base regarding all aspects of the horse. Exhibits exceptional expertise in: breeds, breeding, bloodline, medical care, conformation, desirability, and marketability, training, and personality traits of the horse. The combination yields an extremely solid management team!



6.1 Management Team Gaps

The only significant weakness in the Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch management team lies in financial analysis and accounting principles. We intend to address these critical issues in the following ways: Continued business relationship with Janet Shreve, financial consultant of Puronics Water, located in Longwood, Florida, to provide accounting services and financial counseling. Janet has handled our financial

affairs for over five years and has an in-depth knowledge and historical perspective on our financial needs and goals. Personal study in financial analysis and basic accounting principles. Identification of and participation in, local seminars and/or classes in financial

analysis and accounting principles.



Financial Plan

7.0 Financial Plan

As has been stated throughout the content of this document, the

financial analysis charts and tables contained herein have been built

with two primary factors at the forefront of consideration: 1. To

provide an extremely conservative outlook for Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch based on minimum performance expectations rather than a "blue sky" outlook. 2. To provide a healthy foundation for a long term business operation while supporting the financial needs of the home portion of a home based business. Corners have not been cut, expenses have not been hidden. Rather, this document and loan request has been specifically designed to secure the right amount of start-up funding to ensure a long and successful future for Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. We intend to seek, and welcome, continued education, counseling, and adjustments to this Financial Plan throughout the future of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch.



7.1 Important Assumptions

The accompanying table lists our main assumptions for developing our

financial projections. The majority of the assumptions are based on raw

average estimates suggested by the software program used to create this

business plan. As Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch moves into full operation these figures will be monitored and adjusted according to actual business conditions. Three Key Factors: 1. Personnel Burden is listed, and will remain, at 0. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will be owned and operated solely by immediate family. 2. Inventory turnover is listed at 12 to reflect one month of inventory in stock at all times. However, horses are typically "turned" within seven days, and all but a very limited inventory of tack and equipment will be ordered and shipped directly from the source upon customer order. 3. Wildcat?sSanctuary and Ranch does not sell on credit terms. This is the norm (almost without exception) in the horse industry. Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch will only offer credit card purchases as an alternative to cash/check payment.

7.3 Projected Profit and Loss

Two Critical Issues regarding the following Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch P&L Statement: 1. The entire P&L statement, which stems from the Sales Forecast, is intended to reflect an extremely conservative projection. It does not indicate the full potential of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch given the level of management and expertise that serves as the foundation of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. Rather, it has been created, by intent, to demonstrate the absolute minimum performance level expected during the period. 2. It is of critical importance to note that, being a home based business and the sole source of income for our family, the expense portion of P&L contains virtually every expense, business and personal, conceivable. It does include such minute details as groceries, medicines, gas, daily cash, revolving credit, even "fast food," etc. A note to the reviewer: It is a simple matter to inflate sales projections, deflate cost of goods sold, and hide expenses for purposes of a business plan. Rather, since we are relying on this venture to provide the livelihood for our family, we have chosen to evaluate and present it far below the best case scenario. We hope that the reviewer of this document will take this into full consideration.

7.4 Projected Cash Flow

The healthy state of the attached Cash Flow Table and Charts are, in

themselves, the primary justification for this business loan request.

This loan request is intended to provide a solid foundation for the

start-up and continued health of Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch. As a home based business, virtually every personal and business expense has been factored in. This has been done to ensure that personal expenses (food & shelter) do not prevent Wildcat?s Sanctuary and Ranch from continuing operation. Rather, every calculation has taken these variables into account to ensure that the "home side" of our home business does not inhibit the "business side" of the business. The all important Cash Balance figure remains at a healthy level, and shows growth, for the full period of this business plan to guarantee continued operation. However it also provides for sufficient cash flow to take advantage of positive business opportunities as they present themselves, and/or to absorb unexpected negative influences.
