Review for Rivers Edge Horse Rescue And Sanctuary, Newton, NJ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have a friend who volunteers at the horse rescue, and I have gotten to know Dianne very well. Horse Woman is what I call her. As the head of the whole rescue operation Dianne has a lot of knowledge about horses, as this is what she dedicates her whole life to. As volunteer DJ for different events there, I like to visit the horses. Those horses are taken in from some of the most horrible environments, some suffering life long Physical injuries along with mental trauma. They are loved and cared for to the Max! And they all have great names. I was honored to meet a horse named Fancy who was rescued from a slaughter house and within a week or two she was learning how to relax as every little thing made her jumpy in the beginning. She was eating and drinking on her own pasture and loving the human attention. And what a beautiful horse she is. One horse is blind and has his very own stall with lots of room to move around as he can't be in the smaller stalls in the stable. Every horse is treated special according to it's needs. Some have passed on to greener pastures do to medical issues or age. The volunteers like my friend and Dianne become attached to each of these Awesome Creatures and many tears and joy are experienced at this rescue. I've donated when I am able and they are always in need of donations. It's a great place to bring children and learn about the rescue. There are friendly farm cats to pet, goats and of course horses! I could go on and on. Rivers Edge Horse Rescue provides a labor of love that is well worth any donation people can make. Sue Terry from Plainfield New Jersey
