Bio
Raised on a working farm in Topsfield ,Ma. (Showed cows and horses at the fairgrounds).
I have a soft spot for ponies and underdogs.
Involved with New England Equine Rescues and the anti-slaughter fight.
I am hard working, honest and compassionate.
My friend Joanne Friedman of NJ - author of "horses in the yard" and "it's a horses life" says i play well with others ;)
I have two teen boys and a husband who adores me. All think I spend waaay too much time on all this horse stuff and Hubby wishes my efforts would garner a paycheck! LOL

My Poem to Congress:
As a voter I’m writing
In hopes you’ll agree
That slaughtering horses
Is based solely on greed
Our trusted steeds
We do not eat
Please don’t send them
To feed EU elite
Transport to kill pen
Electric prods
How can you possibly
Give this cruelty a nod?
Bolt gun on flight horses
Is far from humane
Regulations they say?
I laugh at those claims
AQHA
APHA
Biggest over-breeders
In the industry
Cancelled membership
Subscriptions unread
Spending my money
Saving horses instead
Oaths ignored
By AVMA
Numerous cruelties
They blindly OK
The cattlemen’s claim
That beef will be next
Is just a diversion
To keep you perplexed
Could true motive lie
In sealing the fate
Of wild horses & burros
They wish to eradicate?
Some horses acquired
Through theft and deceit
These sordid people
Profit from the meat
The horses are not
Crazy cripple and old
Just visit a pen
Full of PMU foals
Wild mustangs and pets
Not safe from this act
Please show you agree
They need you to react.
Not based on emotion
As many like to claim
Overwhelming evidence
Prove clearly inhumane
Horsemeat was banned
In California ‘98
With 34% reduction
In their horse theft rate
Illinois did close
In 2002
No documented rise
In neglect and abuse
Promised not to cater
To special interests
Now time to prove it
Let HR503 / S311be addressed
Please be relentless
In request to committee
To ensure that this bill
Be released immediately
I could send links
Of videos you can see
But I will end here
Respectfully,
Mary Martin
Horse Experience
I have been involved with horses for about 40 years. I was in 4-h and Pony Club. My Club mounts were all rescue horses. I had the best 4-H leader in the world, Gail Wong of Topsfield. I prefered 4-h to pony club.
Having to work with imperfect horses on a rehab / resale farm taught me so many life lessons.
I have a passion for ponies and I always gravitate to the underdogs. This works well in rescue! lol

I am the peanut on the black pony :)
FOB Activities
I was led to the TWR / ABR board from posts to the Against slaughter board. Encouraged to join by Dawn M, Michelle t, Daryl s, Bonnie, MJ, Lucille m, and other hard working FOB'S who followed both boards.
FOB'S have taught me alot about teamwork and cyberfriendship. We have cried together, cheared together , laughed together. Most importantly we have grown and learned together.
Very proud to be a member!
FOB Network
Oh gosh! where to start there are sooo many... NEER, Gail, Michelle, Daryl, Dawn, Lucille, Cheryl, Bonnie, Mj, AC4H, Pure Thoughts, H4H, Wendy O, HRUN, all the fine rescues working together in the HRC network, etc.................... Thank you Mary o for helping me get a wikki! ;)
