Horse Rescue

This is E. at the Horse Rescue Barn where she volunteers. S is the light colored horse. M is the dark colored horse. The Rottie dog is a real sweetheart. S came to the barn as a cruelty/neglect case. She weighed less than half the weight she should!! She had been without food for so long that she had to learn what food was and what to do with it. S lived at the rescue for less than a year. She began to gain weight but was just too sick to fully recover. She did not survive. E. was very much in love with this very affectionate, pitiful horse. S loved when E. would gently groom her and give her treats. S's owner was prosecuted.

sweet burro

This is my boy N. with his buddy, Spritzer the burro!!! S has very wirey hair but the softest ever ears! The photo was taken last summer at the Horse Rescue where N's big sister E., volunteers. S has a story, as does every horse (or in this case - burro) that comes to the Rescue.
S was neglected by his owner. Among other problems, his worst issue was hooves that were never trimmed. They were 18 inches long and were curled like ram's horns! He couldn't walk and had leg problems. It took a long time for him to learn how to walk the right way after his feet were finally fixed. His owner was prosecuted - as are most of the cruelty/neglect cases. S has been at the barn for a long time now. He is their mascot. He is the sweetest and loves to follow N. around and check him out to see if he brought treats!! He is very gentle and loving...and very thankful for the rescue founder and owner who loves him dearly.
E. has a deep love for horses and seems to draw closest to the sickest of the rescued animals.
