I have been following this rescue for years. They do the best work with so many animals! The horses are amazing...and so many heartbreaking stories - as the horses are often in very bad shape when they arrive. Their dedication and hard work is amazing.
Brenda and Cecil share about animals who are dumped near their property. They take in dogs, cats, they have a bird - their hearts are bigger than our Universe. I cannot say enough about this nonprofit. They truly walk their talk and help so many. I am honored to even know about this group. If I win the lottery, they will be getting a lot of money! (Not likely - don't buy tickets! :( )

Brenda and Cecil have welcomed many, many horses that have been abused, neglected and abandoned. They provide compassionate, nutritious and medical support to these horses and the horses experience peace and comfort in their retirement. Brenda operates the rescue with volunteers and shares her knowledge and love for the horses, donkeys, dogs, cats and birds with all. I have been involved with the rescue for over 2 years and continue to be impressed by the dedication and compassion of Brenda and Cecil.

B&C Rescue takes the worst of the horses that others have thrown away to kill buyers. It's heart breaking that people don't take care of their animals. When they arrive, they have their teeth checked, feet trimmed, get wormed and all the food they want along with fresh water and lots of love for the rest of their lives. Seeing hope appear and re-appear in those eyes along with their spirit restored with good food and proper care, I hope they might think they've landed in heaven on earth. The transformation is a beautiful thing to see.

The quality of care all the animals get is amazing, they are first priority everyday. With most of them senior horses, their extra needs are met with special feed and extended care. Every animal here will live out their life loved and cared for as they always should have been. The caring hearts of Brenda, Cecil and the many volunteers let the horses know they are loved. Funding is all by donation which makes the success stories sweeter. It's hard to pick a favorite horse as they all have their own unique personalities. From the youngsters born at the rescue to the 30 year olds, all have something to offer as a companinion and friend. Love them all! B&C is a great place to volunteer and learn about horses and caring for all animals the right way.

I have followed and supported this rescue for many years. I transported a severely emaciated and neglected horse from kill pen quarantine to the rescue and watched as he recovered, blossomed, and thrived as a much loved and cherished member of the B&C "tribe". Every animal in their care is provided the best care and dignity available. Brenda and Cecil and the volunteers are amazing human beings.

Owners Brenda and Cecil take very good care of thier rescued animals. They welcome anyone & everyone to come visit. The yard, barns and round pens are exceptionally clean. My granddaughter loved having her Birthday party thier and getting to ride horses, talk about caring for horses, interact with the animals and feeding them treats.
I've watched some horses/donkeys come into the Rescue in horrible shape. Then with love, dedication and health issues address, they transform into a beautiful, healthy animal.
Thanks for everything you do B & C Rescue........Doris C.

My first experience at B & C was fun, muddy, entertaining and educational.
Benda took the time to let me know how a few horses ended up at her rescue and their names.
Cecil wasin the barn at the time I walked through and he was explaining why they feed thrive to the horses. Most don't have teeth and can't chew. Thrive is easily digestible for the horses and they still get that sense of chewing.
The volunteers who were walking the horses for rides all seemed friendly and helpful at a moments notice.
Great place to learn about equine and take a tour. The owners are Awesome ❤

This facility helped my husband and I to rescue a horse from a ranch that was being poorly taken care of. Shortly after his rescue, he began gaining weight and showing signs of life again. Although he was unable to continue his years due to health reasons, the time he spent at the facility was was the best. If it wasn’t Brenda and her team, I do t think he would have lasted much longer than he did, nor would he have been able to know love and care again before leaving. Because of them, I will always be forever grateful.

This equine rescue saves horses, donkeys and mules from unimaginable circumstances. They come from "kill Lots", seizures and owner surrenders. Many are literally skin and bones when they arrive. They come with no hope in their eyes and souls. It's such a joy to watch them become happy, healthy horses again. Some find their forever home here but many are adopted by caring families. All are able to live the rest of their lives just being a horse surrounded by loving, caring people.

This is truly a great rescue. They have taken in owner surrendered or law enforcement removed animals and rehabilitated them. They have received dogs, cats, goats, birds, donkeys, and of course horses. Some have been able to go to their forever homes, and others will stay at the rescue until their last breath. The rescue and the volunteers work very hard to provide the animals the life they deserve and not the horrible life they were receiving.

I have been friends with owner of Rescue for several yrs now. They are so dedicated to the saving of Horses and Burros. They meet their every need. Any medical which sometimes have taken alot of money. I have never known of them letting them detour from bringing them home. I have seen medical issues so severe its considered long time care. I have seen horses that are nothing but bones and litterally have fattened up and no one would ever know. The biggest care they give is their Time and LOVE. When appropriate they are adopted out but, some will live forever on property. A Wonderful couple Cecil and Brenda are. Open always for tours. Top knotch, clean and welcoming for all.

B & C rescue has been amazing animal rescues for years. They can be trusted to do whatever is best for the animal. Very seldom turning away any.

I learned about this rescue about 4 years ago. The couple, Brenda and Cecil, care for up to 30 horses that came to the rescue from kill lots, through local animal abuse cases, or owners abandoning their horses due to medical costs. Brenda and Cecil do everything nearly by themselves, and always put the horses first. These horses cost a lot and get the best food, shelter and medical treatments. This is such a worthy nonprofit!

This year marks a decade of me being a supporter of B & C Equine Rescue Inc. In that time I have witnessed horses coming to the rescue in a variety of conditions, being literally brought back to life while at the rescue and then placed in loving homes. I have also witnessed the sad moments that there just isn't anything that can be done besides letting go humanely.

The owners are judge mental towards other horse owners and cruel to them. They are rude and want to report any little thing so they can get more attention to their rescue. They have a holier than though attitude which sucks. I used to be a huge supporter of them until I saw how they treat other horse owners in the community. They are rude and disrespectful individual. There is no reason for them to treat others like trash because they aren’t perfect. I think that if they were a true horse rescue and wanted to help horses then they wouldn’t bad mouth other owners or people in the community they would help them as a community should. It’s better to teach than it is to talk bad behind social media.

I have observed this rescue bring back sick and abused horses from death's door and then find loving homes for them. If the horse is not a candidate for re-homing due to chronic illness, then they keep them happy and comfortable for as long as they live. It is a huge challenge but they always seem to find a way to meet it. I can only hope they find a way to continue as the love they demonstrate for an animal is an example the world should follow towards all fellow mankind.

My daughter and I have had the pleasure of volunteering for B&C Equine Rescue on several occasions over the years and I am impressed with how much love and care they give to each and every animal they come into contact with. Some of these animals were on the brink of death and they loved and nursed them back to health. Not only do they care for all types of animals, big and small, but they offer services to the community via fundraisers and offer a place for people to be able to go and spend some time with animals that they might not have access to otherwise. They try and re-home as many of the animals as they can and do thorough checks to make sure that the new families are capable of taking care of their new loved one.

The B & C Equine Rescue takes in abused and neglected horses and donkeys. Some are owner surrender after they have already been neglected and some are law enforced surrender. They bring them back to health and provide love and security and if possible, find them a forever home. The care and love they give the animals helps the horses to trust humans again.

Brenda and Cecil are not only gems within their own rights as equine rescuers, but also invaluable to the horse community both local and abroad. They are the first to lend a hand to a horseman in need, to educate without condescending, and to taken in the hard cases no one else will. They constantly seek to better themselves for the good of the animals they champion, and share that wealth of knowledge from nutrition to wound care to training. And unlike some rescues who take on more animals than they can manage and who never adopt any out to new homes, the work they do really does mean something.

B & C Equine Rescue took care of a rescued mare and foal for us for two weeks. The horses had not been handled before and Brenda ( and some volunteers) took it upon herself to halter break momma and baby before they came home. What a blessing that was. They gladly fed (at our request) the horses special feed as well as supplements. They did a great job of letting us know what was going on with the horses by taking lots of pictures and sending emails via FaceBook. The horses left B & C Equine Rescue in much better shape then they came. After this experience, I trust Brenda and her crew to take care of my horses anytime.

I inadvertently came across B&C Equine Rescue when I bought a mare and foal that were being sold for slaughter. (The auction was in OK and I live in Indiana.) The horses from the sale were taken to B&C for safekeeping until buyers could arrange for pick up. The word safekeeping does not begin to cover the care and attention the horses had. Brenda arranged for them to have the best feed, to have veterinary care, to have equine dentistry, and to have a driver pick them up to take them to Oklahoma for the new owners. Additionally, Brenda arranged for volunteers to come help halter break the 3 pairs and even provided the halters! The tireless efforts and love that this group provided for these unfortunate horses absolutely amazed me. I wish I could shout from the rooftops the admiration I have for B&C Equine Rescue Inc.

We became aware of B & C Equine Rescue, Inc. when we saw a post on a bulletin board for compost. We were starting a garden and needed compost, so my husband went over. We had not realized it was a rescue. We live only a few miles away, so when he came home, he said I needed to go over. I love everyone who rescues animals and who cares for any living thing in need. What a loving, happy place we found!! Brenda and Cecil welcomed us and took the time to show us around. At that time, a few years ago, Buddy was suffering from a tendon problem, and Brenda showed me how she gently stretched his tendons to ease his discomfort. THEN she explained that she did that 5 times a day, even setting her alarm in the night. Buddy now is happy and healthy and walks normally. The same devotion is given to all the animals.

We were both amazed and so thankful for people who love and care for animals in need as much as Brenda and Cecil do. On our first visit, I met Buddy, who was lying on the floor of the barn where Brenda had been working with his tendons. One animal after another was brought to this place and all were given immediate love and caring. I cannot begin to express my admiration for the devotion this couple shows to animals who are in desperate need. And their efforts extend to helping others, children and adults, learn the proper care of animals. They teach groups of children, and they are always patient in answering all questions about how the animals are doing. It is a joy to see the difference a couple of weeks or a month can make in the condition of the horses, burros, dogs, and all who come into this wonderful Sanctuary of Love.

We went to the B&C Equine Rescue to look at a paint gelding and unexpectedly came home with two horses! The rescue was well-maintained and I've never seen a happier group of horses! Brenda takes in the neglected horses that no one else would dream of trying to maintain and she gives many horses a chance to live out their lives in happiness when, in many other situations, they would have been put down due to health issues. Every animal on the property was obviously loved and taken care of. This is what a rescue should be!

Caring for the physical wounds and needs of the sick, wounded, neglected, or abused creatures that Brenda takes under her wings, is just a part of the care. Brenda also heals their spirit, and calms their fear. They are nurished physically and emotionaly. They learn very quickly, that a gentle hand on their bodies is a wonderful thing, and they soon become in your pocket, and reach their highest potential. Thank you Brenda for all you do.

I met Brenda and Cecil a few years ago when they were taking in a donkey, "Richie", whose hooves had been badly neglected. I am an equine hoofcare professional and Brenda needed help with Richie. They had had the extraordinary length of his hooves sawed off (about 14"). Now it was time to trim to get his hooves back to where they should be. Richie was not real agreeable with this idea, but the three of us, Brenda, Cecil and I managed to get him trimmed. This was a process that took a number of trims to get to the point of his hooves being normal again. (To see him now, you would never know the mess his hooves were!) I remember the first time there and I said to Brenda, "If you're expecting me to manhandle and get him done real fast, then I'm not the one for you." And her response was something like, "If you did it like that and hurried out of here, then we wouldn't want you here." I knew then that B&C wanted to do things the right way - even though it would take a lot more time, patience and caring. Brenda does a great job trimming all the hooves of the assorted equine family they have at B&C. When she runs into something unusual, or that she's not certain about, she'll give me a call. Well, with rescue horses, that's probably more times then she'd like. After seeing all the follow up care that these rescues get, I can't say enough about the devotion shown by Brenda and Cecil. The dedication and love for the "herd" is quite obvious. Somewhere along the line I decided that B&C Equine Rescue would be a charity client for me - seems it's the least I can do to help out. And B&C's follow up care for hoof rehab has made for some amazing recoveries. You see with hoof rehab, I can trim until I'm blue in the face, but if the owners' don't follow through with the proper diet, exercise, and other therapies, the results will be minimal. B&C treats the whole horse. Always looking for better ways. They have the utmost dedication and determination to help all equine. You can be sure that any donations are used wisely. If B&C were to have any other name, it should be "For the Love of the Horse".

I met Brenda on the internet while trying to find help for a severely foundered pony my sister and friend sent me video of during a dog rescue. She and I then met in person months later as I was relocating my horses nearby. She and her husband volunteered to help me mend some fences as well as transport my personal therapy horses to the location once it was finished being repaired. Since then, B&C Equine has been just a phone call away and have assisted me on dozens of occasions, including encouraging and guiding me as I began rescuing and rehoming horses privately. They have selflessly donated hours of their time and labor and we have become great friends. I see the good they do and their dedication to saving and rehabilitating equine in need or at risk of abuse, neglect, or slaughter. Brenda is my mentor and I admire the hard work she puts into her rescue and the education she continues to share with people like myself, as well as the general public and children alike. Her rescue is definitely inspired by her love for horses and donkeys and she remains successful because of her huge heart and strong professionalism. I will look up to her always.

I currently work with many rescue and animal non-profits across the country, I am very impressed with this organization. Brenda is an amazing rescuer and friend, taking such good care of these unfortunate horses that so many just cast aside. I will continue to support this outstanding rescue group and will highly recommend B & C Equine Rescue to all my business associates and friends as an organization that very much deserves their support.
