Review for Safe Haven Equine Warriors , Sykesville, MD, USA
I have had the honor of being a part of this wonderful organization from its inception. Having this unique position of seeing this organization grow and change the lives of each horse/pony that has come through its doors has been truly rewarding and gratifying. It has allowed me to grow personally and gain valuable knowledge in the care and handling of horses. S.H.E.W. takes great responsibility to pledge it has the resources to ensure that each horse/pony that it takes in can be provided with the best veterinary, farrier and training during its rehabilitation in order to make sure their adoptability is viable. By taking these vital steps, S.H.E.W. is giving that horse/pony the best possible outcome to have a second chance in life.
Why I enjoy being a part of S.H.E.W. is because of the community of volunteers and the power of being part of change. Witnessing what each person brings that is unique and an important part of S.H.E.W.’s success is gratifying. S.H.E.W. understands that it is key to provide an enriching experience to its community of volunteers and values this experience by teaching good horsemanship from the basics to hands-on training. S.H.E.W.’s goal is not only horse rescue but it is making great strides to change and educate the community of the perils that all equines face in today’s world. The greatest value I see from being part of this horse rescue is the wealth of experiences that even our youngest generation gains by their involvement of taking a life that was on the edge of giving up to blossoming into a life that was meant to be all it can be. Seeing the pride that young person has and the tears of joy they have when the time comes to handover the horse they had the honor to help transform in order to give that horse the best chance ever for a new loving home is priceless. S.H.E.W. is providing our next generation with lessons in life that they can only learn by being involved in change, giving of their time and commitment to something they are passionate and believe in.
S.H.E.W. is small, but mighty in its efforts to change the life of a horse or pony in need. I am extremely proud to be part of this wonderful organization and it’s community of volunteers and supporters as a whole, they are what brings strength to what we do and accomplish…one horse/pony at a time needing a safe place to land. Join us and see the power of a community that seeks to bring hope to both equines and humans.
