Silver Bits Pony Club Tornado losses

It is amazing, the wealth of support from PC families!! Right now, not so much....if you think of something, just ask!
It has been a horrible, horrible time. We live a mile south of the one house that was hit; saw, heard and felt the tornado, but were spared. It was just the most amazingly terrible thing and then to find out that our PC families were affected in this way. Driving around Sunday trying to get to them with the horse trailer to pick up the ponies, arguing with the police to let us in and then seeing the dead horses and having to chainsaw the barn away to get the live ones out......unimaginable. My husband literally had a chainsaw TWO INCHES in front of one pony's face as he worked to get them free. Nightmare. Loading the survivors was a task in itself...all the mud and the blood. It is going to take a long time to get past all that for all of us, but those poor families...just devastating.
Anyway, my goal is that they can know that their horses are kept and fed and that they can rebuild their houses and barns and be ready to go. We never insure our horse stuff for close to its' value, and I want them to start equal - if not ahead - when that happy move in day happens!
