I would not trust this rescue to care for a senior horse or any horse with special needs. While most animals seem to do okay there, their approach to specialty care leaves others with little hope. A mare surrendered to them in decent weight and with a clean bill of health was dead in under 4 months. They blamed heaves - which they knew the horse had before intake - yet posted a picture of the horse being ridden in a dirt arena. That alone means they were NOT taking proper steps to care for the horse. When questioned about it they became defensive and nasty. I made the decision to halt all donations to them. They took in another TB mare and then put her down when they determined she had cancer, but took almost two weeks to say so, and only did so after I posted a RIP post on their Facebook wall. If the horse had cancer then why the secrecy? There are just too many red flags with this rescue for me to feel comfortable supporting them.

Downsize. Or ensure the personnel taking care of special needs horses are better trained. Make a MUCH bigger effort at keeping webpages and social media sites current. They are the primary way donors stay current. Improve communication skills. Every horse isn't a seizure case, and a horse surrendered with love should qualify the previous owner a little respect and consideration.

I would help find more money so there is no worry about how to feed the animals that need help and the outreach program helping animals that are in loving homes but the people need help to feed and care for them through the struggling economy of bad circumstances. Than they can remain with the people they love and that love them. Also with more money staff could be hired to make it easier for all who volunteer endless hours.
