Tennessee Shelter: 9 Saved from the slaughter pipeline

Hello everyone,

I want to thank you for your amazing support that allowed us to rescue 12 horses between our California and Tennessee shelters over the weekend.  I had an amazing opportunity at the TN auction, something in the 13 years I’ve been doing this, and over 4,000 horses rescued, I’ve never been able to do.  The auction allowed me to bring a photographer (who volunteered) in to document what goes on at auctions.  The auction owner’s wife is extremely sad that so many horses go to slaughter.  This was such an amazing experience, and I will be writing a blog about the auction soon.  For now, here is one of the photos at the auction of one of the horses we saved.   Below this photo are photos of each of the animals saved at the auction in TN thanks to your support.

Thank you so much! -Tawnee Preisner
