Dove Creek Equine Rescue launches “When in Drought” Emergency Campaign
June 8th – August 17th
As you know, we are facing unprecedented drought in the Texas Panhandle this year. Decreased rainfall means less grass for our herd of horses to graze in pastures in the warmer months. With less pasture to graze we are experiencing higher feed and hay costs this year. Limited hay sources and higher prices have forced us to come up with alternate ways of feeding.
As a solution, Dove Creek Equine Rescue has launched the When in Drought emergency campaign. Our goal is to raise $20,000 in 10 weeks to make up for the increase in the cost of hay this summer. We want to continue taking in as many unwanted horses in the Panhandle as possible, but we need your help!
Will you please consider a one-time or recurring gift of $26 or more to help us meet our goal?
- $26 buys two square bales of hay, enough to feed 4 horses for 1 day
- $52 feeds 8 horses for 1 day
- $104 feeds 16 horses for 1 day
- $135 buys a 1,000-pound round bale, which feeds our entire herd of 30 horses for 2 days

On the third Sunday in June, Father’s Day honors the role fathers play in the family structure and society. The day recognizes not just fathers, but the father figures in our lives. These are the men we look up to who set solid examples for us and guide us throughout our lives.
Many families dedicate the day to their fathers and grandfathers. Whether they are first-time fathers just learning to change a diaper, or experienced fathers offering sage advice, the day celebrates everything a father is. Fathers from family to family play a variety of roles. They may be a caregiver, provider, or advisor. Some fathers are the strong, silent types. And yet others tell us stories for days. Fathers teach, guiding small hands as they hammer a nail or sail a kite.
We only look up to our fathers for so long. At some point, we begin to see things a little differently. But that’s not when we stop looking up to them. It’s at that point, we turn and look forward together.
From DJ: For you moms who are filling the roles of dads, Happy Father’s Day to you, too.

Juneteenth is an annual celebration that commemorates a specific date — June 19, 1865, the day many enslaved people in Texas learned they had been freed. Since Juneteenth falls on a Sunday this year, the federal holiday will be observed on Monday, June 20.
International Nystagmus Awareness Day on June 20th brings attention to a condition that can cause severe vision problems among other concerns. The day aims to bring tools, resources, and opportunities for education to the forefront.
#NystagmusAwarenessDay
Depending on the type of nystagmus, treatments, and symptoms vary. Approximately 1 in 1000 babies are born with nystagmus, but adults are affected by it, too.
Nystagmus presents as drifting or wobbly eyes with two basic types of nystagmus:
- Jerk nystagmus – As the name suggests, the eyes jerk quickly in one direction and are then followed by slow movements in the opposite direction.
- Pendular nystagmus – The eyes move with equal speed in either direction.
The condition also has 5 classifications of diagnoses. One of those is congenital nystagmus which physicians diagnose primarily in infancy or childhood. However, acquired nystagmus can be caused by illness or side effects of prescribed or misused medications. Of the two, congenital nystagmus is more prevalent.
Each year on June 20th, National American Eagle Day honors our national symbol, raising awareness for protecting the Bald Eagle. The day also encourages the recovery of their natural environments while providing educational outreach.
#NationalAmericanEagleDay
The Bald Eagle is both the national bird and the national animal of The United States of America and appears on its Seal.
In the latter 20th century, the Bald Eagle hovered on the brink of extinction in the continental United States. Eventually, populations recovered and on July 12, 1995, the species was removed from the U.S. Federal Government’s List of Endangered Species and transferred to the List of Threatened Species. In June of 2007, as the species continued to thrive, the American Eagle was withdrawn from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States.
Eagle Habitat and Facts
The Bald Eagle’s range includes most of Canada, Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. They nest near large bodies of open water where abundant food supplies and old-growth trees abound.
