Amigo, the Paso Fino, was being evaluated for adoptability.  Britney, our vet tech, decided he looked like a nice enough horse that she wanted to give him a ride too. He’s a very sweet, well trained boy and is looking for a home, maybe yours?  The vet says he needs a light rider due to […]

We would like to thank the Drudge Report for featuring the CBS undercover story about horses at auctions.  This should bring huge awareness to the issues of horses being sold for slaughter to many people who would otherwise not ever hear about it.

They walked up the loading chute and were soon in the trailer, looking around wide eyed with curiosity, wondering what was happening next. Bandit and Jaclyn were enjoying their breakfast, little did Bandit know he […]

Generally when the sun sets the critters are all settled down, munching their yummy hay, resting peacefully and the inside chores are done.  This evening was different, as the sun was slipping behind the hills the rescue rig and 3 staff were on the road. Another rescuer, Shari, was on the road heading to the auction as […]

Shadow is a newer arrival at the shelter.  She got her ID tag, microchipped, dewormed and vaccinated.  She is now ready for her adoptive home.  She is a standard size jenny.  She is halter broke but is a little hard catch and load.  She needs someone that has lots of love to give her, showing […]
