Our commitment also extends to helping horses at risk by intervening before they get sent to auction. This means helping owners by giving them advice and tools to be better equipped to find a good solution for their horses. We network with other like minded rescues to help each other succeed in our mutual goal of creating a safer world for America's horses. When we have the room we will always try

to take in desperate horses that are not yet in the slaughter pipeline. We focus on public education which includes programs for school children who come to our rescue to help by volunteering weekly and learn of the plight of rescue horses.

These two pintos are bomb proof babies that have been there and done it. Nothing bothers them. They have been in parades, in fairs doing plowing demos, trail driving, horse shows, they drive as a team or alone. They don't kick, or bite, very easy keepers, great for the vet and farrier. They have been around farm equipment and farm animals, dogs don't bother them. They have not had anyone ride them. The sweetest two boys around. I know the couple that had them and they were well loved and cared for and it was a very hard decision to let them go as one of them was born in their barn, but age and health makes us have to make hard decisions in life. They knew that Gerda would find them the perfect home.

**This was written by the friend of their owner who helped get them here. they are 26 and 28, they are well known in the driving world And since they arrived they have been nothing but sweet. sweet, and sweeter!
Gerda.

BREAKFAST TOGETHER: UPDATE ON JUNO AND CAEDYN
We love for these two to find a home together, but that has not looked promising. So here is what w would ideally want for each one separately:
--JUNO- He is a wonderful little guy, friendly, no kick or bite. . Looking for a home with another donkey (a jack because Juno is recently castrated.) He is 3yrso.

-CAEDYN- he rides and drives (Amish-owned). Caedyn has had major surgery to remove a large cluster of sarcodes from his p***s. The surgery was a success, and Dr. Myhre said he was able to remove it with good margins .
Of course, there is always the chance of a recurrence. That just needs to be said.
Just a quick note, we had a mini with the exact same surgery, and 8 yrs later he is still fine. But there is no guarantee that it will be the case for Caeden.
On the other hand, it very well could be!

I will say it again....Vic (our blind STB senior )is the best riding horse we have!
PLEASE, SOMEONE WONDERFUL GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
He is so perfect, despite his handicap -sweet, kind, careful around people, loves kids, x-ties, bathes, good with vet and trimmer, no vices, no maintenance, and he really wants someone who will love him just like he once had....

Our Story

The plight of the helpless equines being sent to slaughter by the thousands every week is heartbreaking! Once in the slaughter pipeline their fate is pretty much sealed. Still, we have been able to rescue many who were at that point. We promise each one we save to be very careful and protect them from falling into that situation ever again.

Our commitment also extends to helping all equines at risk by intervening before they get sent to auction. This means helping owners by giving them advice and tools to be better equipped to find a good solution for their horses. We network with other like minded rescues to help each other succeed in our mutual goal of creating a safer world for Americas HORSES, MULES AND DONKEYS! When we have room we will always try to take in a desperate equines that are not yet in the slaughter pipeline. We focus on public education which includes programs for school children who come to our rescue to help by volunteering weekly and learn the plight of the voiceless equines they help us with. They learn compassion, caring and how to treat animals with dignity.

These children are the next generation of advocates for all animals, we depend on them today, to learn what they need to know when their tomorrow comes!
