Here is a small sample of what we do with your generous donations.
Please help us continue to help horses.
Aug. 10, 2010: This is a mare we bought for $200. The owner did not want to give her up, as a matter of fact he wanted $300.
At the horse sale, she would be worth a few dollars if that and
would have been sent to slaughter. No one would have known or cared that she is pregnant.
It is illegal to send a late-term pregnant mare to slaughter, but in her body condition
would they know or would they care, would anyone have stopped her from getting on the
slaughter truck?
She is an Arabian. The owner said she is a Polish Arabian named Finyle. She may be in her mid teens.
I am sure someone loved her along the way, they would be heartbroken to see her in
this condition. She is sweet as can be.
She is a 1 on the Hennekke Scale and is pregnant.
The vet said she is due to foal within three weeks, but thinks within the next ten days.
She has gone down three times. There is no muscle on her body to help her get up. She is caring a foal, which adds to her ordeal of being starved and neglected. It is totally understandable why she cannot get up on her own. It takes many ropes and strong people to get her back to her feet. We do not have a sling but we do know how to put together a make-shift sling and get horses up.
We will do everything we can to keep her alive during this critical time.
Donations accepted for her care and vet bills.
We had successful surgery done at Auburn University
on Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the eye on this big,
gentle giant. Squamous cell is fast growing in and around the horses eye.
Starry Night is a Shire gelding. He was adopted by Donna and Arthur
Beasley of Jasper.
This Squamous cell was too far gone to save this poor horse.
Lucy was only 12 years old when we had to humanely let her go. She has a few
short months at the rescue surrounded by loving volunteers. Rest in Peace.
This sweet Quarter Horse, Annie, came to us with an old eye injury.
Dr. Duvall and Dr. Marcella removing an eye from Annie. It was
done here at the rescue. She is being trained to trail ride and is
available for adoption.
Where There Is Hope, There Is Phoenix
UPDATE: August 5, 2010. Hope and Phoenix have been adopted and
will be going to their new home soon.

SPONSOR A RESIDENT
We have many permanent residents at the Rescue. Some are just too injured or abused to be
adoptable and some come to us as rescues but perform other task around the rescue such as
helping in our Therapeutic Riding classes. It cost us to feed, medicate and take care of these
horses. If you would like to sponsor one of our Resident Horses (they all need several sponsors)
please see our Resident page and choose one to sponsor.
In addition to giving money, you can come to the
rescue and see, brush or clean the stall of these residents. It's a great opportunity for people
that would like to know what is involved in caring for a horse.
Please, sponsor a Resident.
