What a wonderful place this is. My daughter, husband and I volunteer for this rescue and I am amazed at the work they do. Please help them - Calling all Animal Lovers – Help Sponsor a Rescued Horse! Abuse, neglect and abandonment result in thousands of horses that need to be rescued each year. With love, compassion and some TLC, many of these horses can be rehabilitated and adopted out to good, loving homes. Come meet our Rescues! The concept of Windy Rock began when my the founder and her husband rescued a miniature horse from a home in Middletown,MD When they set out that day in 2005, they were just going to look at “Jack”. When they arrived they found a horse that was tied up in a small area, spirit broken and his living situation was dismal. Then ended up putting him in their van that day and taking him home, unable to bear leaving him in that situation. They made temporary accommodations for him in the basement of their Middletown home for a couple of days until arrangements to could be made to take him to a family farm. The first day he ran free is a day that they will never forget and why theye do what they we do. There is always a need for rescues, Windy Rock is committed to assisting local authorities with investigating cruelty cases, but the economy has created an even greater need. Many families are struggling to keep their heads above water and take care of themselves and their families and unfortunately, animals often take a back seat. Windy Rock wants to educate the public and generate support for these magnificent and amazing rescues. “We would like to invite the public to join us for our first annual open house on Saturday, September 18, 2010 from 11:00am – 3:00pm. There will be food, music, games and prizes, but we are most excited about the demonstration from Caroline Rider and her horses. Our guests will enjoy the beautiful unity and harmony of Caroline with her horses Smokey and Sundance as they perform to music.” Bring the family for a free day of fun and education, who knows you may decide to sponsor one of our current rescues!
