TRAVERSE CITY — With a steady flow of petting hands and interest, Star and Naomi were helping fellow equines in distress.
The two miniature horses were mini-celebrities as they calmly munched hay during a visit Saturday to Tractor Supply in Traverse City. Enclosed inside a mini-fence near the store's entrance, they took the fuss in stride.
A can-drive fundraiser was held at the same time as this hands-on "friendraiser" for Horse North Rescue. The nonprofit organization helps rescued or donated horses and ponies who have been abused, abandoned or neglected.
For more information on Horse North Rescue, call 645-4674 or see www.horsenorthrescue.org.
