Having been an automotive mechanic for 25+ years, RaeAnne Hadley aka R.A. Lingenfelter never dreamed she would be an International Gold Medal award winning author, or an IMDb certified award-winning director and producer for multiple international film festivals.
A huge film buff, RaeAnne aspired to have her first dystopian fantasy book, End of Crows, worked onto the big screen. After spending $2,000 to a company who had promised to get her work in front of producers and directors, she realized she was the victim of a scam. Refusing to give up on her dream, she bought the software and taught herself how to create book trailers. She won the first film festival she entered in 2020 with her End of Crows book trailer.
RaeAnne now has over 21 international film awards for her book trailers and is currently working on her first screenplay.
Despite her hectic schedule, RaeAnne loves to share her experience and expertise with new and emerging authors.
For the past 20 years, I have rescued horses who have been abused, neglected or the owners were no longer able to provide for them. The past ten years, my rescues have been focused on senior horses who have been thrown away because they are no longer deemed “useable”. These horses deserve the comfort and security of being able to enjoy their elder years after providing their youth and stamina to humans.
After moving to Montrose, Colorado in 2016, I had many people reach out asking us to take their horses. Some were senior horses, others were unrideable, and a few were still in the prime of their life, just needed special diets or medical maintenance. After my oldest daughter was diagnosed with femoral rotation and would require multiple surgeries over several years, we let the lease go on our horse boarding facility, and downsized, keeping our own personal horses. During this time, we have lost 4 different pastures we were leasing due to subdividing or farming. We also experienced loss due to ignorance of people who would chase our horses, wanting to pet them, not realizing some of our horses came from abusive homes and were running from fright, not pleasure, and another who choked to death because a person in the subdivision next to our pasture fed him grass clippings, which horses should not eat. Last week, three of our horses were poisoned due to a ditch rider accessing the property without notifying the landowner, and sprayed weeds along the ditch. Most people do not realize that several herbicides (weed poisons) make weeds that horses would not normally ingest, palatable and they will eat them. Our younger two horses are recovering, but our senior guy who has a history of ulcers, is not recovering well and coupled with his Cushing’s disease, will be peacefully put to sleep September 29th, 2023.
What makes us different is that none of our horses will be adoptable. Every single senior that comes to us will live on the property until they no longer have a good quality of life. Due to the fact we won’t be depending on adoption fees, Elder Equines Horse Rescue Project will be depending on the kindness and donations of others. Since this is such a special project in my soul, 100% of the royalties from my books bought off of this website and Fourthwall, will go directly to Elder Equines Horse Rescue Project.
As always, donations are tax-deductible!
$1.00 – $1,000.00
