Throwback Thursday: Lucia

PicMonkey Collage LuluLucia, or “Lulu” is a fun Throwback Thursday! She was adopted in 2007 after being fostered by Teresa, one of our Officers and Board members. Eight years later, Lulu’s adoptive family have become a big part of TBAR. Olivia (now a TBAR Officer) and Jason take beautiful pictures of our TBAR animals to help us find them forever homes! You can see Lucia’s photos, the one with the background was her original listing photo (when she was called “Palla”), then the other puppy photo from her foster mom “Can you believe it? Her first picture with us and she blinked!” and then a more recent one: “​Here is one of Lucia, our little angel. One of the few times she did a sitting for me. I was photographing Jack and she decided to play too. I wish she would sit for me more often, she is a beautiful creature.”

We’d love to share your TBAR adoption story with our supporters! Please email [email protected] no matter if you adopted 10 days or 10 years ago. These updates warm our hearts!

In Memory of Herman E. Detering III

True-Blue-Animal-Rescue-In-Memory-of-Herman-DeteringHerman was dedicated to helping rescue horses and has a long legacy of work promoting animal welfare. In his time helping TBAR he made an impact on everyone who met him. His methods of teaching helped bring around many of our rescued horses, and helped connect our sponsors to their animals.

His wife, Mimi Crossley Detering, tells us that he loved doing demos for T-Bar, and it was his desire for people in his name to our rescue. We could not be more honored to have such an amazing man feel so strongly for our organization. It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our dear friend.

Herman Eberhard Detering III, 76, died peacefully at home in Houston on March 21, following a long battle with cancer.

He leaves behind his devoted wife and best friend of 40 years Mimi Crossley Detering, loving relatives, close friends and a legacy of work promoting animal welfare.

His parents, H. E. Detering Jr. and Inez Sherar Detering, are deceased.

Herman was educated at St. John’s School in Houston, received a B.A. from Washington and Lee University and a J.D. degree from Columbia University.

Herman and TBAR

As a young man, he was ranked nationally in tennis, and was an accomplished equestrian.

Returning to graduate school, he was awarded an M.A. in intellectual history from New York University, and studied for a PhD with Frank E. Manuel.

Herman taught and lectured extensively in history and the humanities, including at Rice University, St. Thomas University and the University of Houston.

As an historian and rare book collector, he founded the Detering Book Gallery, which became the premier rare bookstore in the South.

His FotoFest exhibition of books and photographs showing the parallel development of psychiatry and photography broke new ground in the study of clinical uses of imagery.

As a rancher, Herman became involved with studies of animal psychology and methods of natural, non-coercive horsemanship. Adapting these methods to cattle, he pioneered low stress handling for ranchers, regularly writing articles for major publications including The Cattleman and The American Brahman Review. His video, “Natural Persuasion,” was a first in the field of low-stress herd management and remains a classic.

Herman’s extensive life, career and thoughts about animal handling can be found on his website, www.hermandetering.com.

Herman also served on several non-profit boards, notably FotoFest, the Houston Center for Photography and the Texas Committee on the Humanities.

In addition to his wife Mimi, Herman leaves a sister, Deborah Detering, and nieces Shelley Pannill Stein and husband Matt Stein; Katherine Pannill Center and husband Gordon Center; and Lizzie Pannill Fletcher and husband Scott Fletcher.

A memorial service will be held at The Rothko Chapel, 3900 Yupon St. on Thursday, April 9 at 11 a.m.  

In lieu of flowers, please donate to True Blue Animal Rescue, P.O. Box 1107 Brenham, Tx. 77834
