First of all, we are so thankful for each and every one of you our supporters, who make our rescue efforts possible. Please enjoy these rememberences.
We are thankful for your support so every horse has nice yummy food. We are thankful that we no longer have to push the hay to the horses in a wheelbarrow!

We are thankful that through your support we were able to provide so much medical care for so many animals in need.
We are thankful that Brianna was here to assist with the baby goat rescue where we rescued 50 baby goats at one time! It would have been a lot harder without all the volunteers that stepped forward to help with those little guys.
We are thankful that through your support we were able to provide low cost gelding certificates to the public. Unwanted horses were never born thanks to you!
We are thankful that through your support we were able to purchase 20 acres of land for the new facility. The mortgage is slowly being paid down every month!

We are thankful that officer Kramer became officer this year. He is such a lucky boy, an ambassador for all rescued horses. To think that his owners were so desperate that his only options were auction or euthanasia before coming to us. He had that chance to find a perfect home with us and he did.
