The auction we will be attending is tomorrow, and so far we have only raised enough to rescue and shelter 2 horses.  We can rescue 10 (or more) if funding is available.  This auction we are going to usually has over 100 horses.  When you are at the auction and you look into their eyes, […]

We have an extremely urgent need, and we need your help to save horses.  There is an auction happening next week where most of the horses will be shipped directly to slaughter.  There are quite a number of horses that are sold at this auction that come up through the slaughter pipeline from Florida, and […]

We wanted to share an update with you about Ace.  This is a photo of Ace with his adoptive mom, Kathy, they recently sent to us.  We love getting adoption update photos, and it is so great seeing Ace looking so amazing!  Last year he was at death’s door. Ace was nothing but bones when […]

We have been very busy since the auction rescue.  The horses arrived at our shelter Wednesday, and upon intake they received vaccinations, deworming, microchipping, and were weighed and measured.  After the intake process was over they settled into their quarantine pen for the night. Today, Thursday, the veterinarians came out to do evaluations, lameness checks, […]
