My Nonprofit Reviews

I'm going to try and keep this review short and to the point. But in order for you to understand I will need to write a brief story on why I love this rescue!! There is much more to this story but there is no need to bore you!

One winter evening I was watching our local news. A story came on about a herd of Arabians being rescued from the state of West Virginia. A rescue group was relocating them to a town near me to start evaluation and the adoption process. I had never heard of this organization at this point. I decided to get involved. I contacted the owner/president of the rescue. I informed her I was an experienced horse person and wanted to help. She invited me down to volunteer. I showed up with a muck bucket, a manure fork and loving touch. I was ready to work.

Everyone involved with the rescue was very helpful and informative. I walked around to each stall, about 20 of them, taking just a few minutes with each horse, to learn their personality and reassure them that they were now safe. I had a few more to go when I walked into a stall where a fragile little grey gelding stood hunkering in the corner. I opened his door. Closed it behind me and just stood there. I didn't say a word..... I had this odd feeling as I looked over him. After a few seconds, he looked over at me and we locked eyes. I was stunned. There is no way to describe the feeling I had that day. Another volunteer was watching from outside the stall, she never said anything just handed me a brush and smiled. The next 20 minutes I spent with this horse. I couldn't seem to pull myself away from him. He was coming home with me......

I didn't go there to buy a cheap horse. I didn't go there to be noisy, well maybe I was a little noisy! I wanted to know who this rescue was. I wanted to know how things were being handled. But most of all, I went there to help, help these horses. Totally oblivious to the fact that I would be bringing home a new friend! I had met my new best friend that day. I also made a few new human friends because of him that I am truly thankful for.

Razr is now a sort of "spokes horse" for the rescue here in our area. We enjoy going places to represent the Rescue in any way we can. He loves people. And he loves telling his story!

I'm very proud of this little horse, but don't tell him I called him little! He doesn't know he's not 16 hands! He loves the trails and even completed a 25 Competitive Trail ride last fall.

In a nut shell, I guess I'm trying to just say thank you to a rescue that truly cares. Puts there blood sweat and tears into something that they love. I trust this Rescue. I have worked beside them and I will stand beside them any day of the week! They are the reason I have Razr. They saved him, gave him a second chance. I couldn't be more thankful. Aside from that, I am very blessed to have made new friends that I can trust.
