Our Horse Rescue Services
The Training begins at a very early age!
We love every minute of our journey
Awareness and Education
Select volunteers are introduced to each one of the horses at the facility and then the volunteer is paired up with the horses that best fit their abilities. Hands on training is provided for each volunteer on the horses they are working with from grooming, bathing, walking with the horse in partnership at liberty, and on into the actual training process. Volunteers learn about the individual horses backgrounds and abilities, and how to handle to horses they are working with. Each time we are with the horses, they are learning as well as the volunteer.
Donations and Gifts
Donations and Gifts are always accepted to continue providing top quality care for each one of these very special horses we rescue, rehabilitate, retrain and re-home! Your gifts and donations provide for grass hay and premium alfalfa for each new arrival, as well as grain, vitamins, supplements, salt, wormers and more depending upon the horses needs. Veterinary exams and vaccinations are administered for each new horse as soon as they can be handled safely. Chiropractic adjustments are done on just about every horse we rescue, and Farrier Care is also completed for each horse. Saddles, bridles and halters of all sizes are welcome gifts because every horse comes in a different size. Each new rescue goes to their new loving home with a halter and lead fit for that specific horse.
Rescue horses rehabilitation process
Rescue horses that comes to this facility typically stays for about 3 to 4 months or longer. It takes the average rescue horse that long to gain the proper weight, adjust to a newly integrated nutritional program and to be able successfully complete all of the training programs set up for them both physically and mentally. During that time they go through the process of being gentled and handled calmly by several people. The horses stand ground tied, usually eating from a feeder, for grooming and tacking up. Each horse stands quietly, and patiently in the round pen or arena, while eagerly watching you, and awaiting your voice commands and watching your body language signals, as they go through most of the training required for them to be a successful partner and friend. All horses are handled by several loving people during this time and introduced to many new things they may encounter during their next seasons of their lives.
Every horse is set up to be a success story! We want you to have a very successful life with your new rescue, partner and best friend!
