First chance to check back in on the Freeperthon since late this afternoon. When last I was here, the "bar" was at 41%! Now it is at 70%! ZOWEEE - thank you fundraisers and thank you donation givers!

A thank you gift is below. These are some of the wild ponies of Shackleford Banks of Carteret County, North Carolina. They say these ponies are descended from Spanish Horses being brought to the "New World" and/or traded for and carried by Spanish and English ships.

If you go to Beaufort, NC, and take a boatride out towards the banks, or just look real hard with binoculars, you can see these ponies there today.

Read about them and the efforts to save them Over here.

And, thanks again, everybody who is helping or giving and especially, thank you Jim Robinson for the "gift" that is Free Republic!
