Happened By Chance Horses

Happened By Chance Horses Happened by Chance Horses Inc. Is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Be sure to follow us on Instagram

We are a 501 c3 registered non-profit horse rescue organization. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome neglected and abused horses. Horses at our rescue are often surrendered by their owners, but we also attend local auctions to intercept horses from Kill Buyers-- people who purchase horses to sell to slaughterhouses across the border for human consumption.

Persia’s journey will not be a quick one. She suffered an acute bout of laminitis is Jan of 2026. She was surrendered to us on 05/23/2026. She is going through a complete diet change and we are reducing all the sugars when can from her diet. Pending the results of her insulin levels, we may be starting her on medicine. Today we focused on getting her comfortable in her own feet and with and through the work of our amazing farrier, Persia walked off comfortable. The incredibly long toes were reduced, a custom made for her bar heart shoe was placed on each hoof and some gel material was placed as well. She walked off so much more comfortable than when she came out to be worked on.

Please join us in welcoming Persia to the HBCH family. ❤️

Persia came to us as an owner surrender. Her previous owner had reached out to other rescues looking for help, but unfortunately Persia was not accepted into those programs. At this time, she is not ridable.

Persia is only 14 years old and still has so much valuable life left ahead of her.

In January of 2026, Persia suffered an acute bout of laminitis, and honestly, the X-rays do not look good.

But here at HBCH, we believe in second chances. We believe in helping when others can’t or won’t.

Persia will see our veterinarian this week. We will repeat her X-rays, run additional labs, and do everything we can to fully understand what she’s facing. While we do not yet know what her future looks like, I do know this: she deserves the chance to have one. We are going to do everything possible to give her the best opportunity for a comfortable future.

To me, that is what rescue truly means.

It is not about avoiding horses because they have medical issues or because they are not immediately adoptable. It is about helping when help is needed most. It is about owners recognizing when a situation is beyond what they can manage and reaching out BEFORE a horse deteriorates to the point where nothing more can be done.

That takes courage. And that matters.

Welcome to HBCH, Persia. We will fight for you. ❤️

Today we welcomed Charlie and Sarah back to the rescue. They have been “working” as therapy minis for the last 2 years, changing lives and helping people heal. Sadly, the program had to close. Charlie and Sarah completed their last work shift yesterday afternoon. As always, we take our horses back whenever situations change.
