Review for Triple R Horse Rescue Of Arizona, Cave Creek, AZ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been following the Luv Shack for several years. Followed their progress on the website and was very impressed with the level of the rescues and education of the childern with those very horses.

When it came time for me to add a member to our herd my friend and I paid a visit to the Luv Shack. I was very impressed with Joey Ogburn and her talent reading horses. The prior day she had rescued 3 very, very skinny arabains who looked like they were on the verge of death.

We pulled the 10 year old mare out and watched the magic of horses. She was having a fit being separated from her mother - running, crying and really just "freaked" out, when we watched from across the yard Joey's big palomino gelding Titus evaluate the situation. He walked slowly and the stood in the middle of the arab pacing - he had her calmed down with in minutes. I just sat there and said WOW just another day at the office for Joey!! I ended up fostering the Arabian we named "Grace" for 6 months. But more important I became convienced it was time to be a part of something greater.

More conversations with Joey led to an invitation to be on the board of directors to help with the business managment of the rescue. That was in October of 2010 and now almost a year later I am even more commited to the rescues and the childern we see come and visit and learn about the magic of horses.

I ended up fostering another arabian gelding "Aragon" who is now a full time member of our family. He is so special and I am convienced he knows he has won the lottery!!

If you are ever interested in being a part of a great horse organization consider the Luv Shack!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

how it changes the lives of horses and people! Everytime I see the Homeless Children visit the ranch and ride a horse for the first time I still cry!

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Ensure it had the proper marketing material so it would be more visible.

Role:  Board Member & I fostered and adopted a Horse and volunteer to run the business of the rescue.
