Why we need your help
Horses like Scooby, the little guy in the picture, and Ziggy, the Arabian next to Scooby, are typical of the type of horses we bring through our gates, a bag of bones with very little life left in them. Doing a legal seizure on horses in this condition is only the beginning in a long list of financial charges we accumulate on each horse. Preparation for court, presentation of the case and keeping the horse away from its abusive owner starts the procedure. Then comes the slow process of rehabilitation, usually six to nine months of intensive medical, foot and dental care, along with gradual feeding that, in the end, results in a horse that is once again physically healthy. After that comes the retraining - building muscles and regaining self-confidence - that will hopefully return the horse to a perfect state.

We depend on our volunteers to do a lot of the work, but the cost of feed, medications, insurance, fuel, and an endless list of needed expenses must be paid every month. No one can take the losses for very long, but when we pool our money, each person contributing a small amount monthly, our resources can cover the cost of rehabilitation. The horses, just like Ziggy and Scooby, go on to live a happy and fulfilling life and we, all of us, know that we saved them from a certain death.
