I absolutely love ARM. CJ & Terry not to mention Ashling & Cindy have so much knowledge of horses & how to take care of them. We have been there a long time about 7 years I believe & in that time I have watched CJ (she lives on the premises) wake up every 2 hours during the night to take care of a sick horse, no matter if he/she is a borders horse or rescue. They do everything & anything in their power to rehabilitate a horse who has come from a battered home. Terry has driven as well as CJ thousands of miles to help other rescues with their horses when they are in distress.
We have a Morgan horse, he is about 26 they take such good care of him & love him like he is their own. I would not want to be anywhere else. As a matter of fact we did go elsewhere (not my idea) and came back (thank God). Our horse is so very happy to be "home"!!

After loosing my Arabian mare Sherilee in April 2012 I wanted to get another to replace her so I looked and looked all over and by chance ended up on ARM's website. I read all about their operation and saw that many horses had found great homes so I went to the horses that were available for adoption page. There were many but this one beautiful bay mare really caught my eye, but I continued to look at horses for sale everywhere. The problem was I kept being drawn to that beautiful bay mare on ARM's website. Finally after several days I went on the site and looked at that horse and swore she was looking at me. So, I called Terry at ARM and inquired about the mare. Her name is Julie MB and Terry said she was in Kentucky. I told her I was an older and tall rider and was looking for a horse that I would be able to ride safely and could carry me easily. Terry said Julie had been ridden and said she has a great personality,is a very healthy horse, and after talking we decided she would be a great match. I filled out an application and soon was approved. I was so excited. I found a shipper and in early May she arrived. It was raining and Julie had a long ride, but when she walked out of that trailer she was the most beautiful Arabian ever and I took the lead and brought her to a stall. She acted as if she had been mine and there forever. We have been best friends ever since and enjoy trail riding in the Mountains of NEPA. She loves being ridden and the tougher the terrain the better she likes it. She does everything I ask of her and forgives when I mess up. Terry matched us perfectly, she has a way of knowing what horse will match well with someone and is also honest when it comes to her decisions. I had also inquired about another bay mare and she told me honestly that it may not work out. I will forever be thankful to ARM for Julie and when ever it is possible I will send in a donation to help rescue another horse so it may be fortunate to find a forever home. Terry keeps in touch with me and I have met some wonderful people that have also adopted a horse from ARM. Thank you Terry and ARM!

The Arabian Rescue Mission goes above & beyond to save horses all over the US. I contacted ARM a few years ago, looking for a good horse for my riding lesson program. They responded very quickly with what turned out to be the perfect candidate. ARM continues to help arabians & other horses around the country in such a great manner. In my opinion, the Arabian Rescue Mission is a rare gem & the world is better because of them.

I was finally in a situation where I was able to get a horse and after some research I decided to put in an application with Arabian Rescue Mission. The people I spoke to on the phone were efficient, friendly, knowledgable and most of all very focused on matching the right horse with the right family. We adopted 2 mares from them and they are each the perfect fit for the family member we got them for, one of them being for my 5 year old son. I have kept in touch with both Terry and Jeff (NJ and KY sites) and they are both wonderful, caring people who truly put their hearts into all they do for these horses. I can't recommend ARM highly enough to anyone looking to adopt a horse.

In October, 2012, I came to see one mare and left with two! Not only did I add two members to my family, but I adopted two beautiful mares with very notable bloodlines. Jeff spent several hours just letting me bond. He had things to do and places to be, but the most important thing to him that day was to ensure that two of "gray girls" were finding a loving home. He answered countless phone calls and text messages from a new horsey mom trying to make things just right! I wouldn't hesitate to send any of my friends to ARM to find a new four-legged friend! They are very open and honest with how they spend their donation money and have developed fun and creative ways to raise funds. This is a first class rescue with hearts of gold!

Wonderful rescue group. Horses are well cared for and they seem to really know what horses belong with which people. I have adopted 2 fabulous horses from them. Neither one would I have picked for myself but they wanted me to foster or try each one and they are perfect for me. The first foster mare I fell in love with as did my vet, she is fabulous! This mare got me over any riding fears I had developed and showed me how easy and forward an arabian can be w and be safe. Thank you ARM for saving her from the auction Next I asked Jeff for a horse with certain criteria and he sent me a horse with geat endurance potential and exactly what I asked for, I also knew if it didn't work they would always help to find her a wonderful home. The horses come first with them, no questions about that. It's not about the most perfect looking farm but about the love and care a person will give the horse.

ARM helped to match me with my dream horse - a horse that they rescued from an uncertain future. Besides what they did for me, the tireless volunteers step in and save the lives of countless horses a year, providing good homes and when necessary training, to help each horse rescued find its person. As well they help people whose life circumstances no longer allow them to care for the horses in their care, sometimes taking over herds in excess of 30 horses at once!

I adopted three sweet beautiful Arabian horses through the Arabian Horse Rescue Mission (ARM) this year, and was immensely impressed with their Kentucky farm and all staff. From what I have seen in about a dozen visits to the Glasgow farm this year, the horses are truly well cared for, the grounds and facilities are well kept, and those involved genuinely care about the horses. I was treated well, and was introduced to all horses and given time to visit with them. Helping the horses and finding them good homes genuinely seems to be their top priority, and they work hard to pair the right horse with the appropriate person. They feed and nurse horses back to health which haven't had enough to eat; and rescue and help rehabilitate horses which have been abused. They assist horse owners who ask for help when a crisis occurs and the individuals can no longer care for their horses.. ARM will assist in finding new homes for these horses. I've never seen horses any more loved and cared for than those at the Glasgow farm, even horses who are only there for a short time. From everything I have seen, ARM is a caring and outstanding charity ... truly worthy of any and all assistance given them in helping to feed and give shelter to sweet, beautiful loving horses.

In October, 2010, Arabian Rescue Mission (ARM) intervened in an unbelievably horrific neglect situation in Selma, Alabama rescuing 26 arabians I believe..not quite sure of the number. Out of those 26 horses were a mare and foal which my husband and I adopted shortly after they were rescued. ARM was instrumental in saving these horses. My mare and her foal, whom we call Faith and Rooster, were horribly emaciated..probably a 2 on the body condition scale. These horses were sent to ARM fosters for the first 30 days to recouperate and begin the long road to recovery. Faith and Rooster were taken in by a wonderful couple who treated and cared for these horses like they were their own. Within 30 days they were both looking more like horses than skeletons. My husband went to Alabama to pick them up the day after Thanksgiving and it was such a wonderful day when they arrived at our place. Faith and Rooster are thriving! I honestly believe if it had not been for ARM my babies would not have made it another 30 days. Terry Figuero and her team at ARM are WONDERFUL! I can't say enough good about this group. They have saved more horses from neglect situations than I can count. Many horse in need of expensive medical care, farriors..some with hooves that actually turn up...dental..horses that have serious dental issues causing them to be unable to eat and thus deteriorate from lack of food. Their hearts are in the rescue business for the right reason! They are my hero's and I will be ever grateful for what they did to save the 26 horses in Alabama and the many , many other neglect situations in which they have intervened. I am proud to say I know these people personally and cherish their friendship and what they stand for. God bless them in their future endeavers! Gloria Gonzalez, Shellman, GA 39886
