Karino's Fire=+=Prayer Request

Since this video was posted we had to geld Karino's Fire, as the boarding stable closed near us and no others take stallions, we had no way to bring him home, other than as a gelding. We are still and EVEN more determined to raise funds for Hand of Hope through a great online site:
http://www.firstgiving.com/christinahyke
FirstGiving is a reputable site where you can donate to Joyce Meyer Ministries (who operates Hand of Hope). You may ask why not just donate to JMM, and you can...but this site, as you see is a way for individuals to raise awareness for their charity of choice. Some run, some shave their heads, we are riding in endurance and hoping to raise awareness & funding for Hand of Hope. Even though Shadrach is no longer a stallion, through this organization, we can still be a hope and way to fund raise
for the hurting in the world. ALL DONATIONS GIVEN ON firstgiving.com/christinahyke go directly to Joyce Meyer Ministries to support Hand of Hope. LET ME REPEAT: none of your donation goes to support us or our rides, it goes directly through firstgiving to JMM & Hand of Hope. We will be over the years using more than one horse, though Karino's Fire is the beginning of this! Junior will be coming along side of Karino's Fire this season to also raise awareness for world missions. We hope & pray that our endurance & distance rides will be a vehicle to raise awareness of world missions; and that Karino's Fire (Shadrach) & Mandate for Gold (Junior) will be beacons of light, shining light on the suffering and needs around the world. You can always go to www.joycemeyer.org and donate to them, or join our team and donate at firstgiving @

I'm keeping you, your magnificent stallion, and others in my prayers. Hang in there! I know the agony of setbacks - I'm having to come to terms with the fact that I don't even have hope of entering a limited distance this year! PS. 21 yrs ago, I boarded at a stable that got hit by strangles. My colt came down with it. It was awful! It seemed to take forever, but he made a complete recovery because I tended to him myself & never gave up! Haven't they've come up with a vaccination now?

They do have a vaccination, though some horses have actually gotten strangles the

day after the vaccination. My husband diligently took care of Shadrach evryday & though because of a prego mare & her foal & we didn't want to take too many risks, so Jim said I shouldn't go down at all, that one person was a risk enough...so since May, August31, when these pictures were taken, was the first day I had been able to touch him. I had driven by in my car, and Jim brought him out.

You are in my prayers ! Good luck for 2009:-)

What a lovely Arabian. Strong. Sure of himself. Full of himself. Proud to be himself. God bless this horse and his caretakers. Give them Karino's courage and strength, his desire and attitude, and bring all who desire a moment of beauty and inspiration in their own lives to his side.
