CHRN is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to keeping horses out of the slaughter pipeline. We try to reach horses before they end up at auction, so take relinquishments and offer a no questions asked buy out program state wide. Our central facility is located in Rush, however we have fosters state wide! We regularly assist local law enforcement, as well as buying slaughter bound horses from auction. Our community outreach programs include castration and euthanasia clinics.

Ok, so when I posted Wolfie as a friend for Hot Rod I mentioned my ultimate grail was the Prewitt rearing fiberglass horse from the 60s. I've looked for YEARS and even considered driving to North Carolina to buy one recently. Then a friend mentioned there was one in a storage shed at her boarding stable. Of course I went a little crazy and immediately scheduled to go pick him up! Today he arrived at CHRN. When Hot Rod comes home he will leave for New Mexico and Art of Jenn Cunningham to get some very much needed tlc and his first real paint job! Who thinks we should do another vote on his paint scheme (and name!)?

Fun facts;

-He's just under 10 feet tall at the nose
-3 people can easily pick him up (even if one of them is an XS person 😉)
-He is DEFINITELY a stallion and Dr King seems pretty on the fence as to if she's up to fix that...
-The Bronco's Thunder is a different model based on a life size statue of Trigger
-He originally sold for about $350

CHRN got two new (Well one new, one new to us) round bale feeders today! This may not seem like a big deal to most, but after our post about having a bale feeder die being able to replace it without breaking the bank is a big deal to us! Thank you to the donors who made the purchase of these feeders possible!

*of course we took the feeder we picked up for an adventure to Cripple Creek with us! 😆*

Emergency Surrender Request!

***5 Horses, 20 Sheep***

The family of the owner has reached out to find placement for her animals after a battle with dementia left her animals without care. The horses are all aged, the worst of the group is the gelding pictured. They are all in need of vetting, dentals and farrier work. There were originally 22 sheep but their condition is very poor under all that wool and with the recent heat they've lost a couple. The family NEEDS to return home and care will fall to neighbors until we can get them picked up. Being an 8 hour round trip from us we need a little time to plan and a whole lot of fundraising to cover this expense. Just the horses will be a major vet and farrier bill. Combine vetting and shearing for 20 sheep and this is simply not doable without our donors.

We desperately need assistance with this AS WELL as fosters for sheep! We do not have info on sheep at this time, simply what can be seen in pics. There is at least one ram, so are they bred? Whethers? Old?

Hoping to have the funds to help these guys by mid next week. This is going to take everyone that can help.

Foster. Donate. Share.

Donations of hay, feed (sheep or horse), sheep panels, small shelters, honestly were happy to take most anything.

Sargent Muffins would like you know that despite his best efforts to be our most difficult choke to date that he is in fact on the mend!

*Muffins is a food bolter so we are going to take EVEN MORE steps to liquify his mash and allow very long soak times 😆*

Also yes he decided to do this while our vet was out of town so I got to tube him with Alyssa on speaker phone coaching.
Great skill to have but hoping to avoid having to use it!

Cinnamon the previously slipper footed mini is really starting to gain correct muscle and is moving out well!

In 4 weeks after her next trim she will be ready for adoption, could that home be you?

*Cinnamon is a PROJECT, she will need ground work, can be hard to catch, and does not like her feet handled yet but will still need 4-6 week trims for another few cycles. Keep that in mind when you ask if she will work for your kids 👌*
