Adoptions Desperately Needed!

     The year 2009 saw us with very few adoptions.  We need adoptions, in addition to donations, if we are to continue rescuing horses.  If you are about to add a horse to your family, here are some thoughts to keep in mind:

 

• When considering adopting a rescue horse, please understand that the adoption fees are a major source of funding for rescues.  These fees help to provide grain, hay, and veterinary care for the horses that remain at the rescue and help the rescue to be able to save more horses.  Rescues can’t afford to “give away” all of their horses.  While we would love to be able to do that, we would soon be out of business if we did! 

 

• Many of our horses have had long rehabilitations.  These horses will have higher adoption fees because of the expense involved in brining them back to healthy body condition and frame of mind. 

 

• Rescuing is not about finding good horses at bargain basement prices. Rescue horses are not well-trained.  Well-trained horses don’t need to be rescued, and rescues can’t afford to put all of their horses in training.  Rescuing is about love and caring.  It’s about finding unloved and unwanted horses and giving them a chance for a good life. 

 If you, or anyone you know, are looking for a horse, please consider adopting one of ours.
