The board actually granted the exemption so no pavement for us and those horses stay safe on the dirt where they belong. I am still shaking a little because honestly this felt like a long shot but you all showed up and kept the noise going until they finally listened. …

I was just looking at the count and we are nearly halfway to the next big milestone which feels surreal because honestly I barely knew how to start this thing. If you feel like doing a favor for the horses or the desert today just send this link to a few people before the board meeting happens. We really need this momentum so the county people actually look twice at what they are planning to pave over.

Seeing the numbers creep up toward a hundred is honestly dizzying even if my hands are shaking a bit from too much coffee. If we can just push past that mark today maybe the board will finally realize that we aren't going to just let them pave over everything without a fight. Can you send this link to just one or two people so we can hit that goal before the day is out?

Pavement creates an unsafe environment for horses. Especially horses backing out of a horse trailer. Paving this lot will create a hazard for the very animals the clinic is designed to assist. Additionally pavement is impermeable and will lead to run off problems for other property owners in the area.
Pima County needs to be flexible regarding the types of businesses they are dealing with. A restaurant could have a paved parking lot and not be a problem, but not an Equine Veterinary Hospital.
Not to mention the added heat produced in the summer. Can't take the chance of a horse spooking or breaking off a lead and slipping on pavement. Come on Pima County, remember your rural constituents.
I have horses. They can fall on the pavement when they come out of the trailer. A paved parking lot is a very bad idea and causes more liability to Pegasus Equine Veterinary Hospital. I have had horses slip on pavement getting out of a trailer and actually go under the trailer.
While we understand the need for dust abatement in Pima County, paving the parking area at a low traffic equine veterinarian facility will create more problems than it supposedly solves including creating a potential accident hazard for the equine patients.
After having my horse slip on new pavement and pin me to the new pavement, I know how unsafe this! It is unsafe for both the horses and the humans!
Safety for horses is paramount concern. Unloading horses from a trailer onto pavement is not safe.

This is an example of government not knowing or understanding what is best for business practices, the safety of the humans and horses involved, or the environment. An exemption would meet the needs of all. I hope the Adjustment Board will consider requests on an individual basis based on need and not protocol.
