URGENT- Help Us Save Our School Horses!
Donation protected
Caitlin and Erin here,
We are in need of help to ensure the safety of a herd of school horses!
These absolutely wonderful 5 horses and ponies have served so many people, young and old, for the majority of their lives.
We have been using these horses and ponies in a lesson program for several years, we know them like the back of our hand and they are adored by all who have had the pleasure of being in their presence. We've watched them help confidence grow and bring smiles to faces, these horses are so loved!
Unfortunately, their lives are now in danger if we do not help them.
Their owner has decided to discard them, with no time-line provided.
Many people are unaware of the grim future that awaits an aged lesson horse sitting in a sale barn, it is graphic and inhumane.
The horses have been labeled as items with a price tag with no remorse for where they will end up, we will not allow the unthinkable to happen to them.
We are working to fund some of the horses to get them into retirement homes to live out their golden years.
The others will be school horses in our lesson program, where we will ensure that they are safe and their future will be bright.
We, along with many others, absolutely love and adore them like they are our own and we are prepared to give them all of the love and all of the care they will need... We just need a little help getting started.
Their lives are at extreme risk and they need someone to be their voice.
We will not stop until these sweet horses are safe.
We must keep these horses out of the auction pipeline as we know that their lives are at extreme risk should they end up there.
We are doing our best to advocate for these horses and ensure they end up in a safe home and we appreciate anything that anyone can do to help us along the way.
The sooner we can raise the money, the sooner they will be safe.
If you've got any questions, do not hesitate to reach out!
We appreciate you and thank you for helping us to ensure these horses are kept safe.
"Speak for the ones without a voice."
