Helping Sarge

Tax deductible
Sarge is a 17-year-old discarded trail horse, he is going blind. In August of 2014, he was at auction about to be purchased by a slaughterhouse kill buyer when the angels at Dorset Equine Rescue stepped in and outbid the buyer and bought him for $525.   He is 90 per cent blind in one eye, 100  per cent blind in the other, and he will soon lose sight completely.

Dorset Rescue spent nine months looking for a home for him. No one would even return their calls.  Blue Star Equiculture in Palmer, Mass. accepted him immediately, asking only if he still had his spirit. He does.

On April 9, Blue Star, a draft horse retirement and rescue and organic farming center, picked up Sarge and brought him home, where he will live out the rest of his life with dignity and love. 

Right now, he is sharing a run-in with Gulliver, a feral horse found living in the forests of Vermont by some children. He is safe and happy here, Gulliver will be Sarge's companion.

We are seeking your help in giving Sarge the life he deserves, that all horses and animals deserve. The money will be used to pay for the special hay and grain he will need, and most importantly, for the special veterinary care he will need now and well into the future.

It costs more than $6,000 a year just to feed a working horse, and we have more than 30 at Blue Star.  Many are older and have had health problems or been cruelly treated and need special care.  We urgently need your help to care for Sarge, he is a sweet and generous and forgiving animal.
 
Blue Star believes in honoring the legacy of the horses that helped build American and have served people for thousands of years.  They have been forgotten. We support the work of animals and people together, we provide the horses with the best possible and most loving care. You can visit us on our Facebook page or follow Sarge's journey at www.equiculture.org .

This is a terrible time for the horses, more than 155,000 horses in America are taken to slaughter each year in Mexico and Canada in the most brutal fashion. We are committed at Blue Star Equiculture to remembering our sacred duty to them, to keeping them in our lives. Thanks for helping Sarge.
