Happy birthday to Barbara Wood!
Dear Barbara,
Our hearts are full
Of birthday wishes for you.
You’re a true-blue
Dyed-in-the wool
Horse advocate,
Always ready to go to bat
And join in the fight
For equine rights,
And that’s no bull!
Happy birthday, and may there be
Many, many more
Of the same for you in store!
Here’s an e-card for Barbara–enter the code 04834477903094 on the pickup page located at

And here are again Barbara’s poems from 2011 and 2012, slightly revised:
A Birthday Poem for Barbara Wood
December 2, 2011
Alan’s her hubby, she’s his wife,
And together in life
They did aspire
To climb always higher—
Quite literally!
They never felt more free
Than standing on a mountain top
From where they could see
Miles and miles of our country
And feel so close to God’s majesty.
They did seek
Rugged peaks
Soaring a mile or even two
Up into the blue.
That activity
Was good for the soul
And in part for the body too,
But after many years,
I fear,
It sadly did take a toll,
So from hiking they did retire
Due to troubles of the knee
And underwent replacement surgery.
Now if Barbara ever gets to cash in
On a big lottery win,
She’ll use it for her new passion:
Protection of the domestic horse
And also, of course,
Of its wild kin.
She feels no horse oughta
Ever go to slaughter.
In her lady-like fashion
She’ll give a tongue lashin’
To any politician
Of whom she does read
That they, out of greed,
Are clashin’
With her deeply held belief
That all equines deserve protective relief
From the grief
Of a killer’s cruel knife
Which ends their life.
Barbara’s helped rescue
More than a few
Horses in this nation
Through donation after donation
To places such as Valley View,
Which is tops
In getting horses from Nevadan feed lots
And giving them a new shot
At a happy life and a gentle end too.
Every time Barbara sees
A rescue through
Which a horse frees
From impending torment,
She again feels
A mountain-top moment!
A Birthday Poem for Barbara Wood
(December 2, 2012)
Meeting our dear Barbara at the BC
Was terrific–
Her visage is truly beatific.
The radiant smile on her face
Is like unto a warm embrace.
Not only is she beautiful,
But also a soldier most dutiful
In Equi-Army is she–
Yes, this Texan so attractive
Is in equine causes highly active.
Our dear Barbara Wood
Works tirelessly to see
That every horse gets treated
As it should.
In varied fights
For equine rights
On no front
Will she be defeated!
She strives to see
That our wild horses don’t take the brunt
Of shameful BLM activities
Which belie their stated policies.
She also jumps into action
Wherever that mercenary faction
That promotes horse slaughter
Tries to gain traction.
She’s always quick to donate
To horse rescue
To save any horse from that cruel fate.
And whatever you do,
If perchance you should hear
Her mention
How much she loves Money,
Don’t mistake her thought
Or her intention
And think that’s funny.
There’s naught
To fear—
It’s not as it might appear—
She’s speaking of the horse of her daughter!
He’s Money ’n Jewels,
(As in “More Loved Than…”).
To the whole family he’s dear,
And Barbara’s his biggest fan!
So here’s to Barbara, our Texan
Who’s sweeter than honey,
But who’ll sting like a bee
If abuse of a horse she does see.
Happy birthday, Barbara!
Linda in NJ

Happy Birthday Barbara! I hope it’s been a great one.
Another fantastic poem, Trina! I always learn so much from your poems. I never knew that Barbara and Alan were hikers.
Becky Mendoza
I hope you do take care of her, and don’t look at her as just a horse. She as a brain, she
as feelings, she’s a mom. She not just a horse she is Zenyatta.
