The 25 horses we rescued from an auction last night made it safely to the shelter.  When they arrived we vaccinated and dewormed them during the intake process.  We couldn’t have done this without your support! They are all posted on our Facebook page and we are needing name suggestions for them.  If you would […]

Tonight was more of a success than we could have wildly dreamed! Thanks to your outpouring of support, 21 horses were rescued at the auction and four more from a kill buyer making a total of 25 saved from the slaughter pipeline! We will be posting updates tomorrow, our team is really exhausted and we […]

There are nearly 100 horses that need help here tonight. It is truly devastating, we had hoped to rescue 20 horses from this auction but with the emergency rescue we did with the Sheriff we weren’t able to fundraise for the auction like we generally do. We wish you were here to see what we are […]

We got a message Sunday morning on the business line.  It was the state vet asking for a call back.  That always means one thing: there are animals that need help.  I called her back and got the details.  It was a truly horrific case.  A person had gone to a property looking for someone, […]

Summer is coming to an end and that always means one thing: summer camps, dude ranches and kids horses and ponies are dumped at slaughter auctions across the United States because their “seasonal use” is over. We have seen this over the last 15 years of going to auctions, every year it’s the same. These […]

The slaughter auction is 5 days away, next Tuesday, and we have only raised enough funds to rescue and care for 3 horses.  We would like to rescue and quarantine 20 horses, but it takes funds to rescue and care for them.  With your help we can save these horses from being shipped to slaughter […]

Look At Me! When you look into my eyes what do you see?  Do you see the pain and abandonment I feel? I did everything right I thought, I served my owner with all my heart. I nickered at him every day when I saw him. I thought he cared about me. But this reality has […]

As soon as our volunteers arrived this morning they got busy cleaning things up. It wasn’t long before they spotted Sugar. Sugar came to us just yesterday as an owner surrender. Sugar was in need of a bath and the girls got right to work. The girls started scrubbing her down and making her all nice […]

We had a baby horse born at the shelter this morning, and he’s a boy!  He is extremely cute.  We rescued his mom, Annie, from a slaughter auction in April.  We didn’t know she was pregnant when we rescued her, but at our shelter it soon became quite apparent.  If you would like to help […]

We were able to come to the aid of a horse, a donkey, and a mule today thanks to your support. Their owner had to get rid of them ASAP and we were afraid a kill buyer might end up with them if we did not act fast. We are so thankful we were able […]
