My Nonprofit Reviews

Elaine Nash and her non-profit organization Fleet of Angels are the real thing. From the micro-grants to her bigger projects, Elaine gathers together donations and makes them all count. Her clients are really the horses out there who are hungry, who get to eat because a micro-grant bought a load of hay when temporarily their owners couldn't. I can't say enough good things.

Marlene is known for the gentle handling of the unhandled horse. I've seen her load horses in her trailer amazingly quickly, done just with body language. She says, I'm not loading horses, I'm teaching horses how to load. And it works! I've learned a lot!

I met the HorseSense folk over a year ago, when they helped me with my horse. Honestly, if they hadn't figured out what the problem was (it was the saddle), I would have sold my horse because he kept bucking when he started to canter, and I fell off twice and got scared. I didn't realize it was pinching him so much, but he's a different horse to ride now that's all solved. Since then I've stayed in touch and donated what I can afford, because I see they are helping horses who really need it. Once they explained how risky it was to sell a horse that was bucking - how they could be auctioned to bad or cruel home, or even sent for slaughter, I realized it was worth trying harder to solve the problem, and we did it!!! I learned a lot.

I'm a new horse owner and I was having trouble with my horse. I contacted HorseSense because they are local to me, and they have an educational program. Long story short, they helped me UNDERSTAND a lot more about my horse so I could figure out what was going wrong and how to get a better relationship with him.
