Meet Crystal.

Crystal is a 9 year old AQHA mare, and is a bit… special. In more than one regard.

Crystal is one of the sweetest, most gentle horses I’ve ever met, with the patience of a saint, but she’s got a few quirks about her that make her unique.

For starters, Crystal is smart enough to figure out how to open the door on her stall and how to open the gate, but somehow dumb enough to walk straight into a tree that was directly in front of her. Crystal also LOVES belly rubs and has made us think she was sick/injured a few times cause she’d lay down and scoot herself around on the ground just to scratch her belly. She’s also got a thing for chewing on leadropes (annoyingly…)

This is what you get when you buy a horse that fell into a frozen pond at 3 months old and almost died of hypothermia.

The thing is, Crystal needs some help. Crystal has /something/ going on with her legs that’s made her lame in all 4 legs. This poor mare went from one of the most spirited horses I know to barely able to walk in under 6 months.

The vet can’t pinpoint exactly what’s wrong without some really damned expensive medical procedures ($2000ish just for testing, x-rays, and a few other things). Her owner, my brother, doesn’t have that kind of money, and neither do I.

We both love Crystal dearly, and we’d like to see her healthy again, but unless we can scrape up the cash, we’re afraid she’s going to have to be put down. She, Penny, and Cloud practically grew up together and are pretty much inseparable. (Fame only joined the herd two years ago, but he’s only a two year old anyway)

I don’t usually ask for help, any of my friends will say that I’m really damn stubborn, but Crystal needs the help more than I need my pride. If anyone can donate anything to go towards Crystal potentially getting the help she needs, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Edit; This took off WAY more than I expected, so I decided to create a GoFundMe. Please, even if you can’t donate much, we’d appreciate every penny!

when the fanfiction turns into angst and you end up causing more problems for your favorite character

when your fanfiction causes more damage to your fave than the canon does but you publish it anyway so others can suffer with you

I finally got around to making a Patreon page! I don’t really know what to say here beyond that I’m hopeful I’ll get some support from this, but, to state the obvious, I’ll be SUPER grateful for anyone who becomes a patron. Seriously, I’ll love you o3o I’ve set up some hopefully good rewards for the various Tiers, and I’ll always be open to input for things to improve!

(Also, I’m about half way through with the next update to the Sub Au fic :3c)
