Would you donate $1 to save a horse? We have over 16,000 people on our email list and 250,000 fans on Facebook, imagine if each one of them donated just $1! We would make a huge difference in the lives of so many horses! We have raised enough funds to rescue and shelter 12 horses […]

The auction is coming up in just a few days and we really need your help.  So far we have only raised enough funds to rescue and shelter 2 horses from the auction.  We are really worried because our goal is to save at least 20 horses, and we are a long ways from that […]

We met Winchester at an auction in August during the Horse Rescue Heroes filming. She was up to weight and the kill buyers were bidding on her, they wanted to load her up on their slaughter truck and ship her to Mexico. To them he was only dollars on hooves but to us she was […]

We rescue so many different horses at auction, all of them with their own stories and their own histories both good and bad. In July we were at an auction and rescued 26 horses. One horse, later named Stormy, distinctly stands out to me. I don’t know his story before we rescued him, but I […]

What a night, 36 precious lives were saved thanks to your support!  We didn’t think we would be able to save that many, but we asked for your help, and you helped out in a huge way.  Thank you! The donkey that was in our last message was rescued by another rescue organization who desperately […]

Our rescue team has safely arrived at the auction, and as always, their hearts are sinking.  Sinking because there are so many horses at the auction that will go to slaughter if we do not save them.  Sinking because there are horses and this poor little donkey in really poor condition that haven’t known love […]

The auction is tomorrow, I always feel so uncertain the night before the auction.  One of my many jobs at Horse Plus Humane Society is to do the fundraising for our monthly auction rescues.   I’m always worried. What if we don’t raise enough funds to rescue these precious horses that will be at the […]

We are asked time and time again why are there so many skinny, old, neglected and injured horses at auctions. Most auctions are part of the slaughter pipeline for horses in the United States. Horses are moved across the United States from auction to auction as they make their way to Mexico or Canada. Kill […]
