Ace
When Ace got to the rescue farm, we immediately started him on a good refeeding program. He is a big boy but he was a skeleton covered with dirty, smelly white skin and his manure was all caked down his back legs. He was so thin, the manure didn't fall away from his body like a normal horse, it fell out and stuck to his legs. When he came off the trailer, we decided to give him a bath right away. We usually wait, but his legs were getting scalded from the crud stuck to him for so long.
Ace has now fully recovered and has been adopted! This is a wonderful example of how the power of the rescue, volunteers and donations can save the life of a horse.
From Cheryl: Merry Christmas story. Ace , a handsome gelding came to SaveTheHorses near death. He fell in the trailer ride to the rescue because he was too weak to stand. Months later, Ace was getting better everyday. Sara and her family came to visit the rescue farm and Ace tugged at Sara's heart. To Sara's surprise, her dream came true Christmas ever. Sara officially adopted Ace as her family and STH's volunteers watched Sara read her card letting her know she is now a proud horse owner. It took us all back to our childhood dream of owning your own horse. Tears and smiles filled the barn! Congratulations Sara and Ace.

Albert (RIP)
Now, Albert.... his is a 12 year old Nubian goat who weights 280 pounds. He has been at the rescue for 11 years. On December 4th, he was found laying on the shavings 'star gazing'..and unable to get up. He was loaded in a trailer and taken to the Animal hospital at University of GA . The doctors reported that Albert most likely Goat Polio which is thiamine deficiency. He spent a week there. .... but he still was unable to get up. The volunteers at the rescue brought him back to Save The Horses and now, Albert gets thiamine 3 times a day, sublingual B12, oregano oil on his skin, homeopathic remedy daily, goat drench daily, drinking PH water called Kangen water, turmeric, Reike 2 times a week and Bowen therapy. The rescue get him up with a sling. He has strong back legs but weak front. He hasn't stood for 15 days....but we aren't willing to give up.

Alivie
Alivie is a three year old, very beautiful Thoroughbred mare. She was sent to the rescue to recover from a racing injury, a broken knee. We do think she will heal to become a nice trail horse. She'll never race again, she'll never be capable of an athletic career like some off-track Thoroughbreds but she sure is worth saving. Her eyes are the mirror to her soul. She is exquisite.
Alivie has been adopted!
Alivie had a bad case of colic and was taken to UGA for surgery. Two days later, Cheryl got a call that she needed yet another surgery. Cheryl wasn't sure if the rescue could afford it. Thomas Scott and some other dedicated Save the Horses volunteers pitched in to cover the second surgery. Tom went to UGA to check on Alivie, and be there for her as she recovered. Now, Alivie is adopted and well taken care of by Tom, who is at the rescue almost daily. All the volunteers who know her, love her. She is super super sweet, and always makes the cutest faces. ~Julie C. (volunteer)

Annabelle & Lillybelle
The first surprise is a BABY! We were at the rescue helping with feed February 13th, 2013. We couldn't find our donkey, Annabelle...and she never, ever misses a feed. I asked Tom, one of the long-time volunteers to look around the 22 acres to see if he could see Annabelle. Less than 5 minutes later, a commotion ... Annabelle, who NO ONE knew was pregnant, gave birth to Lilly.

Annie
Annie, the pot belly pig, came to STH's in 1998. After owning her two years, the family decided to call the 'slaughter guy' if we didn't take her. Annie was a gift for a family in Buford GA. She was a tiny baby pig and was welcomed to live in the house her first year. Then they moved her out to the yard. By the time she was 2 yeas old, they didn't want to car for her at all. She was STH's first piggy. She has been a love for 14 years. Annie was sweet and kind to all visitors. She developed a tumor on her stomach and couldn't get up without human assistance for the past 6 months. We were happy to help because once up, she was fine. Recently, the tumor got bigger and her breathing was getting affected. We decided it was time to let Annie cross over the Rainbow Bridge. With the help of Dr Amanda Cerniglia, she went peacefully. Rest In Peace Annie 1996-2014

Beauty
Beauty came to the rescue with her companion Mo, an Appendix (TB/QH cross) gelding from FL. The family suffered a medical hardship. The owner stayed in the area for a while to make sure his beloved Horses settled in well. Mo had surgeries and other treatments done for a condition that acted like stringhal. Beauty took care of him, always checking him and even pinching him to make sure he was there. He got worse and was put down in the arena, so his body could be loaded for further evaluation.
Beauty became very depressed and stopped eating. Little dwarf Gidget started hanging out with her. The day she lost Mo, she stood in the stall staring very forlorn to the spot where he died. I simply stood with her and stared with her. Suddenly I felt her right next to me, she put her head on my shoulder and gave me a gentle squeeze. I hand fed her and have loved this pretty horse ever since.
She then took up with Patch, and we even celebrated a wedding for them. ~Brigitte (Lead volunteer)

Blaze
Blaze is a 21 inch Dwarf gelding. He has beautiful eyes and is very sweet. He goes to visit Senior centers and loves all the attention. He is an Achondroplasia dwarf.
Hold Your Horses! Literally, I asked Kathy to hold Blaze so I can take him picture! It looks like she is riding him, LOL! He is a dwarf miniature and weighs only 100 pounds. That is 100 pounds of strength though! She really was Holding this Horse! Blaze, like the other 10 dwarfs at SaveTheHorses needs a monthly sponsor. He gets his feet trimmed every 4 weeks. Because of the deformities, they can't go every 6 weeks like normal horses. It is $30. a trim. He eats about $50 of feed and grain a month so under $80. will completely cover his costs. Ever a pledge of $5.00 a month will help. Thanks for your consideration!

Bravo
Bravo was bred in Illinois at a large Shire breeding farm. He was one of the unlucky ones culled from the herd and sent to wait for a trip to the slaughter plant. For years, the culled herd of Shires and crossbred horses were sent a few minutes away to the DeKalb, IL slaughter plant.
Bravo would have been slaughtered along with many other Shires if the plant had been open for business. The plant burned down, and during the 2 1/2 years it was closed, the horses sat on a feed lot waiting to be hauled to Texas or Canada for slaughter. During that time, Cheryl was able to acquire some Shires, and Bravo was one of them!
Bravo is our mascot! He is curious, willing, calm, and gentle, and an example of the horses that we lose daily to slaughter.

Buddy
Buddy came to us with a severe eye injury. Just what happened is unknown. His owners had been to Southern Crescent Equine in Newnan, GA, where vets were doing what they could to save Buddy's eye. Save the Horses had worked with this group before, and they recommended that the owners contact us for help. We offered financial help to remove the eye, but the owners decided they didn't want Buddy anymore. Why? Perhaps they felt they couldn't handle a horse with such a disability. Whatever their reason, we could not turn him away.
Unable to see out of the eye, Buddy was clearly in pain and worried. He wasn't much interested in eating and he was nervous around us. Volunteers showered him with loving hands and gentle words, doing their best to let him know he was safe. He'd only been with us for one day before it was decided to remove his eye. Drs. Murray and Walker would perform the surgery only two days after his arrival. The sooner the eye could come out the better for Buddy.
On Friday morning, Aug 29 2014, Buddy was sedated and made comfortable. Within an hour from the start, the surgery was completed and Buddy's face and eye socket were wrapped. His stitches will be removed in a couple of weeks.
After surgery
Since the surgery, Buddy is feeling better. He enjoys running in the ring and he's recovering well. He's getting the hang of the hay bag, which has been raised up so he can keep his head higher than he would normally hold it. Eating with his head down, a more normal eating hay horse posture, could cause bleeding into his eye socket.
Bandages removed!
This week, Buddy had his bandages removed, got his feet trimmed, and got lots of love and attention from our volunteers.
As always, surgeries are costly and Buddy's previous owners are not contributing to his care. His well-being is on us! Rescue is what we do and, thankfully, we have all of you wonderful rescue supporters who provide the means to save so many lives. We are grateful for each of you and the assistance, both hands-on and financial, that you give us every day. YOU LIFT US UP AND WE THANK YOU!

Bugg
We recently rescued this little malnourished fella on July 14, 2014. He was extremely dehydrated and weak.
"So just before dark, we hooked up the trailer and road up to Jasper. We found him standing in the clearing, head down, but happy to see us. I think he knew we were there to help. We slowly and steadily helped him down the hill to the gate. He wasn't able to walk in a straight line at all. He was that weak. He was covered with rain rot on his skin and has a sunburned nose. Once we got him to the trailer we dosed him with electrolytes to give him a much needed boost. " ~Cheryl

Chevelle
Chevelle is a 4 y/o Tennessee Walker. He was hit by a car in Louisiana. He had pretty extensive wounds on his chest and leg. STH was able to step in and and bring him here to receive treatment. A company offered to help Chevelle with an experimental treatment that actually pulled stem cells from inside his body to help him heal. A lot of people came together to help this special boy.
Chevelle is a sweet boy, but is a bit cautious around people.

Colter
Rescue organizations working together!
When we got there, 'Colter' was down since last night possibly. Doris Buckley and Sue Crane, both from SOS of horses rescue, had been there with a vet earlier today. We brought the sling and a tow truck was already there to help. Colter is a 28 yo gelding who is pretty thin. We (SaveTheHorses.org) brought the sling and we were able to get him up but he tripped and fell to the ground after about 10 minutes. We let him rest again and we managed to get him up again but we left him in the sling for well over an hour even though he was standing on his own. He was weak and wobbly. He drank Gatorade and ate a good mash of food and was eating some alfalfa hay . It was good for our hearts to see him standing for so long. It was after dark when we all packed up and left.
Colter managed to stay standing for 24 hours. Sadly he went down again. The veterinarian came back out. Colter was too weak to recover and he was euthanized. It was too late to save him but rescues working together, we all tried out best. It was worth the try and we will do it again and again. Life is too precious to give up easily.

Crimson
Crimson adopted by Ashley!
Ashley was finally released to ride from 3 months of recovering from a hip surgery. She was so happy to ride Crimson. They both had a awesome ride.
Deja Vu
Deja Vu is an incredibly sweet Appaloosa pony. She is about 24 years old and can be ridden and lead with a child on her back. She has very respectable ground manners and loves attention and carrots. Deja is an easy keeper. She needs a lot without much grass so her diet can be controlled and her hooves don't get sore. She doesn't wear shoes, so an occasional trim is all she needs. She is healthy and deserves a loving family. She will delight you with her kindness!

Dixie Kitten (RIP)
We took in a 15-year-old Thoroughbred mare named Dixie Kitten. Born in Kentucky, February 20, 1998, she raced and won over $110,000 for her owner, but when her racing days were over, there was no retirement for this mare. She was sent to have baby after baby until she was worn out and lost her last foal. When we picked her up, she was very malnourished and her feet were in terrible pain. We are not sure how she lost her last foal, but the owner assured me we could probably get three more babies out of her. Who could look at this horse and believe she could live through the birth of another foal?
Her feet are foundered and the damage is very difficult to repair. We are working with Dr Kenneth Marcella to see if Dixie can be made comfortable and pasture-sound so she can have a life without the pain she feels now. It seems like she is improving, then it gets worse again. It is difficult for her to gain weight when she is in so much pain. She goes out of her stall and enjoys the sunny days and happily eats her hay; then another day she will lay down in her stall and you can see she is hurting. She is surely in a better place at the rescue farm but we really have to keep searching for answers to make her well.
Hopefully we will have a happy update soon. She deserves a good life. If she does recover, she will be available for adoption as a pasture pet. If you would like to help Dixie Kitten, you can send a donation in her name to help with the expenses for her recovery.

Note: Dixie crossed the rainbow bridge on October 10, 2014. We will all miss her.

This is Fancy. She is a 4yr old gaited mare that was saved from slaughter. She is a small mare with limited sight in her left eye. She will need to be a companion only. She is shy, most likely from something she experienced in her past. Fancy is very curious about people and will let you pet her nose and of course she loves treats.

Gentleman Jack (ADOPTED!)
Gentleman Jack came to SaveTheHorses from Cherokee County animal control as a 14 year old stallion. He bit a few people at animal control so he wasn't too adoptable. We had him gelded, then started some ground work and decided to saddle him. He was really a good boy.When the rider got on, he was a gentleman but would only walk backwards. He quickly learned and is adopted by Alyx, who is anxious to get him close to where she will be working as soon as she is finished with college. Graduating from college wasn't enough of a challenge for Alyx!!!! They are a perfect match!
He leads, loads, stands for farrier all with no problem so we think he was well trained. He is an Arabian.
UPDATE...Jack has been adopted!
In August of 2013, Cherokee Animal Control needed a place for a 14 year old stallion they had in custody. He had not been nice to a few people at animal control, nor the vet we spoke to either. Jack earned himself a bad reputation. We really knew nothing about him. We didn't have room or a place for a stallion but an amazing foster home agreed to house him while he was gelded and work with him to see what he knows or doesn't know. Jack then came to the rescue farm. When we did his first test ride, Jack was calm but curious. As soon as the rider, Steve, got on and gave a gentle squeeze asking him to move forward, Jack went backwards. We worked with him, took our time waiting for the love of his life to come along. Well there was Alyx, a college student who decided how to make her dream come true by adopting this handsome redhead, Gentleman Jack. Today we are transporting Jack to Clemson, SC, so Gentleman Jack will be close to Alyx. She is finishing her college and looking forward to a career that will support her new redheaded boyfriend. It took time to get this boy into the right hands. It isn't about rushing to a new home, it is about finding the best loving home and this is it. Jack will be save now. He would end up at animal control or an auction, or on Craigslist. He has a human partner that cares and loves him. What a happy Saturday this is.
Gentleman Jack came to SaveTheHorses from Cherokee County animal control as a 14 year old stallion. He bit a few people at animal control so he wasn't too adoptable. We had him gelded, then started some ground work and decided to saddle him. He was really a good boy.When the rider got on, he was a gentleman but would only walk backwards. He quickly learned and is adopted by Alyx, who is anxious to get him close to where she will be working as soon as she is finished with college. Graduating from college wasn't enough of a challenge for Alyx!!!! They are a perfect match!

Gilda
Say hello to Gilda. A couple of years ago, a wealthy family
found her in their front yard. They called animal control...and they were told, "we don't do goats".. so on Christmas day, a few volunteers from Saved the Horses spent the time gathering Gilda and bringing her to SaveThe Horses. She used to run in fright of people, but now she is a little more curious and will let people get closer. She loves hanging around Victoria's paddock..and spending time with Pebbles.

Godiva
Godiva is still looking for a forever home. She is a 9yr old gaited mare, that is around 13.3h tall. She does ride, but will require an experienced small adult or child rider. She is a little shy in the pasture, but has perfect ground manners when haltered and on lead.

Hunter
Hunter is a sweet gelding Thoroughbred cross from animal control in South Carolina.He was very thin but we took care of his nutritional needs and he became a wonderful riding horse. He is missing most molars so it is a bit special care needed for his feed but worth the extra care.
He is available for adoption. He is a teenager with lots of love to give. He still needs to gain weight but he rode around well with Meliah in the ring. He won't last long because he is a love bug kind of horse and any one can ride and he is safe.

Once loved by his owners, they lost interest and forgot about him.
He was starved and dehydrated. He is a 27 year old Arabian gelding. This should not happen to any horse. RIP Jake.

Kashmir
Henry County Animal Control needed to find homes for 2 horses that were surrendered to them. They were in a bad situation, too many horses, not being fed properly. Happens too often.
Save the Horses Rescue Farm was full but a wonderful foster home offered to help. He was named Kashmir and it looks like the foster family may be falling in love. He is surely enjoying the care and kindness he is now receiving. If they decided not to keep him after he is back to good health, he will be available for adoption.
So nice to have good people who are willing to foster horses. It is the only way we are able to help so many, because of YOU. WE are Rescue!

Kitty - Starving Horses Can Be Saved With Your Help!
When her owners divorced, finances changed, the farm was in foreclosure. The horses, there were three, become the victims. Bad things happen to good people. This family asked for help. This is Kitty. She was an older mare with a bad knee injury. She went from being very weak and dehydrated to gaining strength through careful nutrition in 18 days. She had a long way to go but was over the critical stage. Volunteers fed her small meals several times a day. We have had hundreds of neglect cases over the years. Your help will always be needed.
Lady
What do you see? A Percheron horse with a halter, right? There is so much more to this picture then meets the eye. This is a Premarin mare. PRE=pregnant, Mar=mare, IN=Urine. She was owned by a drug company, kept pregnant and stood in a straight stall hooked up to a catheter, given less water then necessary to make her urine stronger for the drug prescribed for women to use during menopause.
No longer wanted, she was shipped from Canada to an auction in Roanoke, AL with 100+ other mares to be sent to slaughter. That was in Jan. 2004. STH's organized a campaign and publicity brought in great homes. All horses were bought by private homes, non went to slaughter. This mare went to an older couple who lived in Warm Springs, GA. They named her Lady. The husband cared for her until he passed away in 2011. We were called to take her and realized she had been fed well but never handled. Getting her in a trailer was a job but patience won out. Tom did a great job of sweet talking her and told her she was coming to a safe place. Since she arrived, we let her be a horse and would touch her for as long as she allowed. Sandy has been going to see her daily for a long time and asking her to put the halter on. Lady finally accepted and said 'YES'! It may not sound like much to some, but to STH's and to Sandy, it is a giant break through. We use no force, no domination, no fear, just gentle asking and lots of love. Great job Sandy! Amazing to say the least.

Good Bye Lady Jane
Lady Jane has left us. We let her go with dignity. It is the hardest choice to make for any horse. There is no turning back, no changing your mind once you euthanize them. All you have left are the memories and they make your heart feel empty for a long time.
Sandy put bows on Lady Jane before we let her go to Heaven.It was nearly a year ago that Lady Jane arrived. Everyone gathered around the trailer to see this majestic beauty. She was a big elegant Percheron mare. Beauty's Haven Equine Rescue (http://www.bhfer.org) in Florida asked if we could take her. She wasn't doing well in the humidity of a Florida summer. She seemed to have some breathing problems. She moved slowly and flared her nostrils. All of the volunteers loved her but Sandy Lehman was totally in love with Lady Jane. She wanted to adopt her but I wanted to make sure Lady Jane was healthy and didn't have any breathing problems like COPD. If she did, Sandy most likely would still adopt her but we would know exactly what she needed to keep her healthy. As the weather cooled, she started moving better and breathing fine. Sandy started to gently ride her and they both seemed happy to be best friends. Sandy started to buy her feed and Lady Jane was never without special treats. Everything seemed perfect.
It was early March when she started laying down. We didn't notice a limp for a few days. She was a trooper. The farrier came out to see her, then the vet came out to check out her foot. An abscess is painful but treatable with some work and patience.
More farrier care, more soaking her foot, applying special medications that were sent to cure her. We had radiographs done, dug out infections, cleaned them out to have another place on her hoof start oozing with pus. Then it would come out above her hoof, more radiographs, more medications, more soaking, more prayers, more hope. All the while we had Lady Jane on anti-inflammatory medication so she would stay comfortable.
We did not want to give up. Dr Mary Pat Hill donated her time and expertise to do homeopathic remedies and acupuncture regularly. Sher Kerr volunteered to do Reiki treatments. Everyone sending good thoughts and prayers. We even considered seeing if we could get a prosthetic hoof made for her if we could figure out how to make it work comfortably. We has so many wonderful suggestions for horse lovers everywhere.
Now 4 months and $3000 later, we could not win this battle against the infection. Lady Jane was put to rest in the big pasture, covered with her new blanket and lovely roses placed at her head.
Sandy is going to pay Lady Jane's medical bills. Though she never adopted Lady Jane on paper, she surely adopted her with her heart and soul.
We question every decision, every treatment. We so wanted a better ending and not now but years from now. Sandy was here every day, many days for hours. I sang to Lady Jane every evening. I would do my night time barn check and sing, 'Lady, when you're with me, I'm smiling'. Now I am crying.
We will always miss Lady Jane. The emptiness will start to fade away but right now it hurts so much. It is heavy on our minds.

Lady Jane in Heaven
Then one of our little volunteers, Sydney, sent this picture. She says this is Lady Jane running after crossing the Rainbow Bridge and we smile.
I am sure she is right! Run on Lady Jane!

The Knee High Gang
Our 'Knee High Gang', or Dwarf horses, are super cute and rare. Dwarfism should not be reproduced, because these horses, as cute as they are, have many deformities and special needs. Their feet need a special hoof trimmer to come and work on them every month. They can have breathing problems and even an extra heart valve. If you do not have horse experience, or are afraid of horses, you will lose your fear loving on these little horses! They weigh about 100 pounds and are 18 inches to 45 inches tall. We have a gang of ten. You have to see them. You can't help but smile!
Lil Humphrey
This Miniature horse came to the rescue a few years ago as a 4-year-old from a local breeder. At four years old, his hump was still growing. It looks like Kyphosis or Scoliosis that humans get. It was worrisome watching his hump get bigger and bigger. We didn't want it to cripple him.
Finally when he turned five, it stopped where it is. He was a stallion, but we couldn’t ‘fix’ him because the vet said he might not survive the anesthetics. So he would have to be isolated from the mares.
Right about that time, we took in, Rowdy, a little mini gelding with dwarfism. He was sent down from an auction in Pennsylvania. Lil Hump and Rowdy became best buddies; they both love to play and run and rough-house with each other. Humans can learn so much from horses– horses do not judge others by how they look.

Lobo
The Gwinnett Animal Control officers went out on an animal abuse call and found several malnourished dogs and one malnourished horse, that was August of 2011. SaveTheHorses was asked to take Lobo after the county was awarded custody. We happily agreed.
Lobo was estimated to be about 28 years old. He was thin but good quality food several times a day made a big difference. Our original plan was to get him healthy and find him a home but he has a bladder problem. He dribbles his urine on his legs. At first we thought it was because of age but Dr Leah Patipa suspected it was Sebaceous bladder. Lobo soon had his first treatment of cleaning out his bladder. It takes two veterinarians for the procedure. We have had it done regularly in the past 3 years.His bladder went from the size of a basketball to the size of a near normal bladder.
We didn't have any calls for an older, non ride able horse who needs a costly procedure so Lobo has been here since he arrived. He does have people who love him.
Lobo has many volunteers who love him and enjoy his company. Many thanks to Stephanie Emhoff and the Pate Family for helping with Lobo's care and medical needs and every volunteer who gives their love and time to help horses like Lobo.

Lucy
Lucy came to the rescue when an auction barn owner was moving and asked us to take his blind horse. He knows that it's illegal to send a blind horse to slaughter. Many blind horses do so well that they do go to slaughter, because no one notices or cares enough to check. Lucy was one of the lucky ones.
Lucy is a very nice mare. She is gentle and loves people. She is totally blind with cataracts. Surgery probably would not help and can be dangerous. Removing cataracts can cause the horse's eye to collapse. Lucy does well blind, so it may not be worth the surgery and possible complications she could have from it.

Lucy & Deja
These great volunteers from Lassiter came out to groom some horses. These girls picked Lucy-too and her almost blind companion Deja. Both the horses and the girls had a great time. I love these teens. They come out and work and love on the needy horses. There are many fancier horses here but they let their hearts lead them to these two mares.
These girls will change the future with their compassion and care.

Luke
Luke is a 6 year old Dwarf gelding with severe hoof deformities. He had surgery on one of his feet but it was not successful. He lays down and rests but he also gets up and runs around and plays. He loves when people visit and love on him. He is a Brachycephalic dwarf.

Paco
Paco came to the farm about a year ago. He was "donated" because the owner couldn't handle him because he was to stubborn, but I've worked with him for a few months and he is stubborn but very sweet. I believe he is around 15 years old. He is rideable. The farm has used him for pony rides. Pacos best freinds out in the pasture are muffin man and jasper.

Alisa & Quinn
Quinn (RIP - 1/12/15)
Quinn was a racehorse in Florida, and his racing name is Sarlight. He was only in 1 race, but he raced against famed jockeys Gary Stevens, and Pat O`Day!
He was retired off the track, and retrained as a Hunter/Jumper. He was then sold to a wealthy Florida family who bought him for their son, who used him for shows! When it was discovered Quinn had Anhidrosis, a non sweating condition, the family decided to place him in a humanitarian rescue, with the hopes he would find a forever home with someone who could manage his care.
A year later, out in the pasture, Quinn was involved in a fight with another horse, and sustained a very servere tendon injury, which the vet said he would never recover from! Cheryl did not want to lose him without a fight, so she gave him a chance! I met him 6 months after his accident, when Cheryl asked me to help rehab him, since I was out there twice a week to see EZ.
Quinn could barely take a step when we met, but after 3 years of rehab and exercise, his vet gave him a clean bill of health, and pronounced him sound again for shows! I had adopted Quinn at that point, and decided it was in his best interest to retire him, and occasionally do a trail ride around the farm! Quinn is a very talented,and accomplished Hunter/Jumper, and does everything from flying lead changes, to jumping over anything in his path! He has no fear, and trusts his rider!

Red Chief (RIP)
Red Chief has been Adopted!
After 3 years of living at SaveTheHorses, Chief was finally adopted. Amber saw that spark in his eye and they fell in love. At this week's 4H Show in Perry, Amber wrote, "Chief did awesome with a blind eye. He only spooked once, but only bc of a sonic boom. Lol. "
He did act like a Saddlebred for sure though. We ended up placing 6th, 3rd, and 6th.
" Congratulations! What a great team and lots of love to both."
About Chief
Red Chief was a show horse (20 yo Saddlebred) that went blind in one eye. He was a show horse for many years but developed what looks like cataract in one eye and became unwanted. He is a perfect example of what a kill buyer will pick up free or cheap. Then he was not wanted and he was with SaveTheHorses for almost 3 years. No one ever considered how wonderful a horse he is until Amber came along. Yes, he's a Saddlebred, Yes, he windsucks, Yes. Amber sees his wonderful kind heart and spirit. Thank you Amber Picklesimer. Waiting for the right home is worth a million!
Chief loves the attention! This handsome boy is awesome!
Red Chief has been Adopted!
After 3 years of living at SaveTheHorses, Chief was finally adopted. Amber saw that spark in his eye and they fell in love. At this week's 4H Show in Perry, Amber wrote, "Chief did awesome with a blind eye. He only spooked once, but only bc of a sonic boom. Lol. "
He did act like a Saddlebred for sure though. We ended up placing 6th, 3rd, and 6th.
" Congratulations! What a great team and lots of love to both."
About Chief
Red Chief was a show horse (20 yo Saddlebred) that went blind in one eye. He was a show horse for many years but developed what looks like cataract in one eye and became unwanted. He is a perfect example of what a kill buyer will pick up free or cheap. Then he was not wanted and he was with SaveTheHorses for almost 3 years. No one ever considered how wonderful a horse he is until Amber came along. Yes, he's a Saddlebred, Yes, he windsucks, Yes. Amber sees his wonderful kind heart and spirit. Thank you Amber Picklesimer. Waiting for the right home is worth a million!

Rosa
Rosa is a lucky girl. When she came to the Rescue, she was never ridden or handled much. She was 10 years old. She is a sweet mare that will learn as she goes. She has been ridden and had her feet trimmed but still has some reservations but improves with love. She is with her new mom, Retha, who is going to use Rosa in her Barn Buddy Program just around the corner from the farm. She is going to change the lives of humans by doing what she does best, being a horse!

Roscoe
Roscoe is a sweet boy and handsome too. He came with a broken bone in his foot. He can only do light riding or he goes lame. He is a cancer victim as well. The light skin and the sun are not friends.
We keep him in during the day and and out at night in the hot sunny months.
Roscoe is one good looking horse!
Thanks to all of the hard work everyone does out there, you have many happy animals.

Rosie
It's Rosie's day for a beauty treatment at camp! She had lots of cow treats too. Rosie was raised as a pet, never intended to become someone's dinner. The owner lost her farm and Rosie needed a safe place to live. Though we wish we had land for an official Sanctuary, we took Rosie to spare her life from slaughter. Rosie has even convinced some volunteers to quit eating beef.
Looking into her eyes, you fall in love with her soul. We love Rosie.

Roy
Poor Albert (Nubian goat). His best friend and the one he slept with...ate with...shared a stall with... passed away. Roy was a large draft horse...so gentle and kind. He was nearly 40 years old. Roy passed away in his sleep... on the pile of shavings right outside his stall. Albert w
as curled up with Roy when they discovered Roy had passed away. Albert stayed with his body all that day... the volunteers placed a tarp over Roy's body while they prepared a spot for him to be buried. Almost a week after Roy's passing, Albert hadn't gotten off this tarp other than to eat a little. We miss you, Roy. ~Rachel P. (volunteer)

Simba
Simba was left tied to the gate at the TN rescue site in March of 2012. Mele (a STH volunteer) took him to Jasper so she could work on his feet. Then he moved to Douglasville a little over a year ago. He has severe and chronic negative palmar angles as well as a heart murmer.
He is very sweet, loves other horses. Can't be anywhere that he is picked on due to his feet issues. He is doing well with them but has to be trimmed on time. I will be doing some additional rehab to his feet.

Slew
Slew is a thoroughbred. He is descended from the famous race horse Seattle Slew. Slew was owned by an 18 year old who used him to jump & compete. He did very well until he became lame. They donated him to the rescue. He is the sweetest, gentlest horse ever. But if you put a saddle on him lookout because he loves to run...he's not lame anymore!

Spirit
Below is Spirit’s sponsor Anna Grace! She’s been taking lessons and decided recently to become a sponsor. We’re so happy for Spirit and Anna Grace!
Sponsoring provides horses with not only financial support, but also the chance to have their own special human to give them extra attention and help them overcome some of the hardships they may have faced in the past.

Star
Star–AKA Starry Night was a VERY expensive show horse...until a mule bit his ear off. We still think he is a beauty!
We received a call from a TN Walking horse breeder who has lovely Walkers and shows them. He explained how he heard a lot of noise in the barn and found a mule had bitten Star's ear clean off. It was healed over but we check often to make sure he doesn't injure the tender membrane over the ear canal.
He is a horse every can ride so he has been a Star here at the rescue farm since he arrived. He's a great mascot and teaches humans many things about horses and about themselves.

Sunday Spice
Congrats to Julie on her adoption of Sunday Spice.
About Sunday Spice
Sunday Spice is a handsome 8 year old 16 hand Thoroughbred gelding. He is an OTTB, or off-the-track Thoroughbred. Sunday Spice raced but wasn't happy, so his racing career was short-lived. He has been adopted from Save the Horses multiple times in his young life- we like to say it just took some time for him to find the right home.
Cheryl always says the horse chooses the person, and that's just how it happened. He came back to the rescue, malnourished and neglected... Julie was there that day to welcome him home. She saw it in his eye, that special connection... Julie and "Sunday" are now quickly becoming a great team, building trust every day. She is so happy she can be his person, friend, and mom- and we all think he knows he found his family, for real this time!

Sweetie (RIP)
Sweetie is the oldest horse at the SaveTheHorses.org farm in
Cumming. She is 34 years old. We have had horses live to be 44 so she sure isn't
a record breaker, but she has many health issues. She has anhydrosis
(no-sweating), Cushings, Moon blindness, arthritis, and she had a stroke nearly
3 years ago.
Sweetie stumbles and falls, and can not get herself up without human help, a sling and a tractor. She loves carrots, apples and horse treats. Her name is perfect for
her because she “adopted” Patience, one of the young foals on the farm. She is
always looking out for that little one. Just goes to show that horses have hearts, too, and sweetie has a big one.

Kira & Tebow
Tibo - Adopted!
Tibo came from Murray Co. animal control. He was starving and animal control found him just in time. Today he is well loved by Lydia who has adopted him!
Lydia: My granddaughter Kira and I sponsored this beautiful horse in March of 2014 for Kira's 9th birthday. A year ago it was a huge challenge to get him out of the pasture, and now he rushes to see us when we drive in.
Thanks to Cheryl, Steve Cook, Rebecca for guidance, support and teaching me a basic horsemanship skills. Connection & communication with horses is life of its own, not describable in words, it can only be felt in heart. Tibo and I are studying with Kira (Trainer), who is my rock and inspiration.
With Kira's gentle teaching style I know I can learn anything along with Tibo and will apply in training other Rescue horses when time comes. My granddaughters Kira (now 10) and Valentina (4 years old) visit STH and Tibo whenever they can. They love being at Rescue! I can't wait for them to be a bit older to spend more time at Rescue with me. In the mean time, Richard and I are there every free moment, learning, loving Tibo and all his friends.

Theia
This is Theia, formerly Helen. She was adopted by Hope Johnson Bozec who say Theia's beauty and knew she would make a perfect riding companion. Most people wouldn't adopt a BLIND horse and take on that challenge but Hope didn't see it as a challenge, she saw it as a loving partnership...and it has paid off for that. STH's have the best adopters and horse care givers.
Thank you Hope for such a glorious life for Theia.

This is Trudy before her surgery to remove tumors on the third eyelid.
Trudy
Trudy is a sweet Appaloosa mare. She was rescued by a veterinarian in North Georgia in the mid 90’s. She's lived at the rescue facility since 1996.
Trudy’s history includes the most physical and mental abuse of any horse on the farm. She was bound in barbed wire, then dragged behind a tractor. Trudy has much fear of humans and deservedly so. Her safest place is surrounded by horses, because she trusts them. She does not kick or strike, even though she can easily get revenge for her horror and pain. All she does is blow very loudly and hard through her nostrils and look for a way to escape. Trudy will also tremble at her shoulders and arch her neck as if to hold all of the fear in her neck muscles. It is heartbreaking to be near Trudy and not be able to get her to understand that we will never hurt her or let her be hurt again.
Trudy was lucky enough to be 'joined-up' with Monty Roberts when he was in Conyers, GA, a few years ago. It started out with Trudy trembling and fearful. He patiently waited for her to change her mind, and she finally put her nose on his shoulder. When that moment happened, women, as well as men, in the audience broke out in tears. It was emotional for everyone there and felt by everyone. Monty Roberts explained it this way...If you took a piece of paper, then folded it in half, ran your thumb down the fold, then opened the paper, it would have a cease in it. Rub your thumb down the crease...it will never be uncreased. It is deep into the paper now. Trudy's emotional wounds are too deep. We can offer kindness and give her understanding.
Today was my treat...as I was able to feed her! Just 15 minutes or so of talking to her and telling her what a good girl she is. I am inspired by her ability to trust humans again. Truly amazing!
