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.

Thankful (mostly) for the recent rains which has created plenty of hay. I took on another 14 rounds today.

Surprisingly the 42 rounds we got in early July are dwindling pretty quick. I am entering my hay hoarding phase that I do every year in preparation for winter. 🤣

Thanks Mike for the delivery, unloading and staging of these rounds.

We re-filled the second bay of the overflow hay barn today

And by we, I mean Carl, Larry and Caleb. I visited from 6 feet away. This Covid round has been no joke and they didn’t want me anywhere around them. I am better, no fever in over 24 hours but I am still pretty drained.

V and I managed to get the mosquito dunks and tank additives out everywhere as well today. That alone whooped me.

🚨TAHC Inspection🚨

A list with 36 names of horses. A map with the locations of those horses (numbered), and printed copies of 36 Coggins numbered to the horses location made easy work of our inspection today. The inspector and I just walked around to each spot, verified horse to the numbered Coggins.

All 36 horses and their Coggins inspected and verified in under an hour.

The inspections are inevitable. Make it easier for your inspector to do their job and for you to get back to yours.

It’s gonna happen every 6 months to a year anyway.

No violations. No expired Coggins. No surprise.

All while suffering through covid. 🤣

Our final round in this cycle of farrier was completed yesterday. We’ll get a micro break and start the next cycle, of 4 rounds, on 8/23. Thanks to our awesome farrier, Oscar and to the volunteers who come week in and week out to make sure the next horse is ready for Oscar as he completes who he is working on. We did 8 horses in damn good time yesterday. 🎉🎉

Happened by Chance Horses regretfully announces that we will not be hosting our traditional annual fundraiser this year. While we understand this may be disappointing for our dedicated supporters, we are excited to announce our participation in The Big Give SA and urge everyone to direct their generous support towards this vital campaign. Your contributions through The Big Give SA are crucial for us to continue our mission of rescuing horses in need, providing them with essential care, rehabilitation, and finding them loving forever homes.

Our decision to forgo the individual annual fundraiser stems from a strategic shift to maximize our impact and reach through a larger, collaborative fundraising initiative. The Big Give offers a unique opportunity to amplify our message and connect with a broader audience of philanthropists and animal welfare advocates. We believe that by focusing our efforts on this collective campaign, we can secure the necessary resources to expand our rescue operations, address the increasing demand for horse welfare services, and provide specialized care for horses with complex needs.

Impact of Your Support
