Review for Helping Hearts Equine Rescue, Perrineville, NJ, USA
I was introduced to HHER by a friend when I was looking for a horse. I met Lisa Post in person after talking through social media, when I drove to HHER to meet Logan who I subsequently adopted (it was love at first sight!) We stayed in touch over Logan for the next few years, and when I lost him to renal failure Lisa grieved with me. Logan was a very special horse in so many ways, one being that he was Lisa’s first rescue. He was her inspiration for starting HHER. After his loss Lisa and I stayed in touch and eventually I agreed to foster Casey, a pony that had been adopted and returned a few years later. Lisa needed room for another horse who was being returned because of a serious injury so Casey came to stay with me for a few months. Those few months have turned into permanent foster because Casey has since lost both eyes to uveitis. We consulted multiple vets and had many conversations about his future with no eyes because it could have been disastrous, but Casey is a tough pony with a strong will to live. He may no longer have sight but he is a very happy pony (he has 2 mini donkey friends) and HHER continues to support him so he can live out his life where he feels safe and happy. My experience with HHER shows me that the organization truly has the animal’s best interest in mind in all of their decisions. If I could give them 10 stars I would!
