THURSDAY NOVEMBER SEVENTH 2013 Greener PastureS LAND FUND FOR RESCUED HORSES HABITATFORHORSES.ORG Ginger Barber “Keep it simple” is Ginger Barber’s motto. Her love of an uncomplicated look, paired with natural, textured materials provides the cornerstone of her delightfully harmonious designs. Ginger approaches interiors with a neutral palette. She prefers solid white, beige or a subtle repetitive pattern, and then lets nature take its course.

After training in design at Sarasota’s Ringling School of Art and Design in Florida, Ginger moved to Houston 30 years ago and launched her own design firm. She has an extensive background in both contemporary and traditional interiors, which is evident in her design work where she skillfully combines the classic elements of style, both past and present. Ginger also loves getting away from the city, and enjoys designing second homes for families whether it be a beach house, or a farm house in a rural setting.

Habitat for Horses To promote and secure the safety and well being of all horses. To encourage education concerning the physical and mental health of horses. To explore and establish connections with young adults who can benefit emotionally from involvement with horses. To promote the proper training of horses through positive training techniques. To provide a home for those horses who are no longer able to be productive.

At Habitat for Horses, we are assuming the responsibility of our horses for the remainder of their natural life. Our concern is not limited to the physical condi- tion, it also calls for us to provide the best environment possible to promote their mental growth and development.

It seems like it was back in the Dark Ages when Habitat for Horses was first started, although it was only in 1997 when we took in our first horses in response to a plea from a local family that simply couldn’t handle seeing a skinny horse a few houses down the street from them. In 1998 we applied for and received our non-profit status, took a number of Equine Cruelty Investigation courses and starting applying to local law enforcement agencies to let us help them handle their horse cases.

During those times most local law enforcement agencies didn’t touch large animals. Excuses of, “he’s old, that’s why he’s skinny,” and “I’m about to buy feed and hay,” were generally ac- cepted and neglected horses were left alone to starve. While we met with some resistance, most officers accepted us with open arms. All we required from them was to have an officer at the scene and have the same officer appear in court. We did the rest, from transportation, housing, feeding, medical workup, farrier work, court appearance and testimony to finding an adopter.

Word circulated quickly and soon we had officers calling us, “just to take a look at some horses.” From those first few months of becoming established and being professional in everything we did, the calls for assistance seemed to explode. The reputation of Habitat for Horses continued to grow as an organization that was more than willing to assist law en- forcement not just in the legal aspects of enforcement, but in providing education to horse owners who wanted to keep their horses healthy but did not have the knowledge of equine husbandry necessary.
