This sadly is not a rescue, it's more of a place where horses go to die. 10 horses in a small muddy pasture with only 2 stalls as shelter, this is what you see out front. In the back, there is no shelter, this is where the "fat" horses are but there have been occasions when a "fat" horse is brought up because you can see it's ribs, hooks and pins and count spinal processes. Rescue? I think not. Most of the horses are inflicted with rain rot and subject to iodine baths in 40 degree weather and then thrown back out to pasture with no shelter. Thrush, this is so common it's hard to find a horse at this "rescue" without it. Bath tubs, secured with bungee cords stained black from not being cleaned as drinking water containers, stalls piled a foot high with poop because it's "not the trainers jobs to clean stalls," all a common thing to see at the rescue. I've worked with several horses as a volunteer that are so terrified to entire the arenathat it takes any where from 20 minutes to an hour to coax them in only to have them so nervous that they are dripping in sweat and so ansy you can't even brush them. Professional trainers? Tell me does a professional run a young scared horse around a round pen with an extremely long lead rope dangling from it's halter, slapping its legs and hitting it in the face? If you take your horse here it is going to be mistreated and possibly euthanized. I supplied a picture of a horse that got tangled in high tinsel wire, severing its suspensory ligament. The owner who also poses as the rescues vet, though he does not have his lisence, removed sutures and bandages and threw it in a dirty stall saying "he'll heal if he's meant to." This horse receives no medical attention and is still there, hobbling around with proud flesh and a severed suspensory ligament.
