USESR was invited to set up a booth at Michael's MJ Designs in Keller, TX.

We raised over $300.00 that day!

Past President Tim Manson made the drive from Killeen to Keller to volunteer at our Michael's booth in Sept.2003.

17 year old Jessica partakes of lunch at the Michael's booth.
Chicken tenders, mashed potatoes and fried okra. Free drinks, too! We appreciate our volunteers and we like to show it!

East Texas volunteers made the long drive to Keller to support their rescue for our Michael's booth in Sept. 2003. Laurie is seated on the right with Susan on the left.

Best friends volunteer together at the Michael's booth. They started out painting faces until reinforcements arrived, then switched to horse handlers. Volunteering with a friend is extra fun! That's BC on the right and Daniele on the left.

Founder, Antoinette Smith, sells baked goods and reflects on what she's learned:

---

"When you bring your horse to a booth, know it's birthdate. Buy it something for it's birthday, too. That way when kids ask how old the horse is, when it's birthday is, and what it got for it's birthday, you can answer all questions satisfactorily and not have to admit that your horse is abused because it didn't get a birthday present."
