“Thank God we finally got them
out,” Brighter Days Horse Refuge
director Jeannie Weatherholtz said
this Tuesday.
After all the area television, radio
and press coverage of the horses and
ponies taken from the Walter
Hahnsmann two properties in San
Antonio, the mistreated animals
seem to have found a temporary
haven in the storm.
After Wednesday of last week, Oc-
tober 28, 17 of the “miniature to
Welsh” ponies and four of the larger
horses are being bedded and board-
ed at the Brighter Days Horse
Refuge, Inc. off the Cascade
Caverns Rd.
A total of 36 animals were taken
from assorted shelters on the
Hahnsmann properties, and a
number of those are presently being
cared for tenderly in foster,
volunteer homes, said Refuge direc-
tor Weatherholtz.
On Wednesday, November 4, the
hearing for final disposition of the
horses will be heard at 10:30 a.m., on
Bandera Road in San Antonio. “We
do not know what the final solution
will be,” said the Boerne Refuge
director. “They could be auctioned
off, they could be left here... or they
could be returned to Mr.
Hahnsmann.”
Since last March when complaints
reached the proper ears about
abuses of the animals on the
Hahsmann property and various
legal stoppages and starts at pulling
the horses away from their
deplorable situations, the Refuge
received two of the animals and the
animal protection agencies kept an
eye on the others.
But when they returned for
another inspection recently, and
nothing had been remedied with the
malnutritioned group, said
Weatherholtz, wheels of law finally
ground into action, pulling the group
out of their feet-deep manured
cramped stalls, often without suffi-
cient light to even see.
Their nutrition state was such that
Jeannie Weatherholtz said the
horses are now “eating constantly.
They are very mellow. They didn’t
even know what a mineral block
was. They are eating it like it was
candy!
“And they drink loads and loads of
water because they are now getting
some salt into their bodies again. We
keep good grain and coastal hay for
them and keep their troughs filled.
When you talk to them, they whinney

going to take a long time...”

“KBRN’s Diane Adams brought

“floated” the entire group’s teeth.
As horses age, often bony “spurs”
form on the teeth preventing proper
eating habits. These have to be filed
off; the operation is called
“floating,” explained the Refuge
director.
Youngest of the horses is approx-
imately seven years, with ages rang-
ing up to the mid-thirties, vets have
estimated.
The Refuge is still providing feed
for all the horses on the property
and in volunteer homes as well.

The Community is invited to
participate in a musical walking
Christmas parade to kick off the
Christmas season in the city’s first
annual Weihnachts Fest, Friday and
Saturday, December 4 and 5.
The parade, scheduled for
December 5, will begin on Friday
night on North Main and will
proceed to the town square at main
and bianco. The parade route will be
announced later.
“The unique thing about this
parade is that only foot power is
allowed and no wheels can be
included in the parade. We want to
encourage everyone to join in our
walking parade, singing carols and
getting into the Christmas spirit
with a back-to-basics feeling that
often is lost in our high-tech age,”
said Paige Ramsey-Palmer,
chamber manager.
Retail merchants are joining the
chamber in sponsoring this event, in
conjunction with “Shop Boerne
First Saturday.”
“Our merchants will close during
the parade, and reopen at
afterward, offering not only their
merchandise for Christmas buying,
but also having refreshments and
music in many of the shops,” Vickie
Schleyer, president of the retail
merchants said.
* Saturday morning the festival
13
will continue with a children’s
parade beginning at 10 a.m. It will
conclude at the town square where
Santa will be waiting at the gazebo
to welcome all comers with a
listening ear and a treat for each. •
The retail merchants will
continue offering their Christmas
specials in their stores Saturday and
Sunday.
This Fest is the prelude to a
special weekend in Boerne. Oma’s
Christmas Fair will be in progress
at the fairgrounds on Saturday,
December 5 from 10-6, and Sunday,
December 6 from 10-5.
On December 5-13 will be the
community photographic exhibit
scheduled for the Boerne Area
Community Center, showing Boerne
area as it was during the Texas
Sesquicentennial.
Also the Historical Society will
open its historical homes and
buildings for its sixth annual tour on
Sunday, December 6 from 1-7 p.m.,
including a special Christmas
display at the Kuhlmann-King
Historical House.
“Boerne has a lot to offer during
the Christmas season,” said Ms.
Ramsey-Palmer. “Get involved with
all of us this Christmas and let’s
have a Hill Country Christmas right
here in Boerne.”
parents’ come and pick up the feed
here. Eddie Fischer in Boerne has
two of them. He’s been a sincere
friend.”
But Jeannie wants to make it plain
at present that she does not have the
animals to adopt out. “They are
wards of the court and not ours to
adopt out at this time. We have
received so many calls from people
wanting to adopt one of them.”
tonio, the Refuge is home right now Rainbow Senior Center
to 15 other horses which have been
picked up or brought to the shelter
for various reasons.
“This Sunday, we hope to have
some volunteers come over to help
build some stalls and sheds. All the
new stalls will be built so they can be
taken down. Our lease will be up
here in June of 1988 and we’ll be
looking for another piece of property
for the Refuge.
“I don’t want to leave Boerne
because Boerne has been behind us
from the beginning. The whole area
has stuck with us. We love Boerne
and the people.
“We’ll continue to need lumber for
the sheds. We do want to get the
animals sheltered before winter.
And of course we will continue to get
calls to pick up ‘other’ horses which
need our help. There are a lot of
mouths to feed!
