We have been in continuous operation for over a decade. Rescuing and rehabilitating our beloved equine friends is an incredibly rewarding experience. However, it is also extremely expensive. Each horse costs approximately $2,000.00 per year or $170.00 per month. Intensive care vet bills can be staggering and normal routine costs in rescue work are financially draining. Another Chance 4 Horses is a non-profit 501c(3) incorporation, run by volunteers. It is only through your contributions that we can do what we do. Please help them with your tax deductible life saving donation today. Click Here for Printable Handout for Donations
Unless you know the truth behind this picture, it could just be a "nice to
look at" picture. The horse standing alone in the building, while the farrier
quietly removes this horse's shoes; (imagine the sounds of the shoes removed;
the farrier is silent and never speaks, because maybe his heart dreads the fate
of this horse. Besides the noise of his tools as he reaches for the nail puller
from his box, the only noise is the clatter of 4 metal shoes as they hit the
pavement 4 times, echoing through the silence in between. The final sounds are
that of a barefoot horse led out of the building by the farrier) And the
shoes? That means this horse was ridden recently, but will never carry a rider
again. Was this someone's pet, a young girl's horse, who found a boyfriend
she'd rather spend her time with, or was it a racehorse, who gave the race his
all, but was outdistanced by a quicker horse in the homestretch? Or could it
have been that this horse's owner died, and the horse was sold at auction by a
family who didn't know that the kill buyers lurk there just waiting to fill
their load? Or could it have been that this horse was stolen and sold at the
auction, while the owner is still out frantically searching for their beloved
horse?
These horses were purchased for slaughter the one that sticks out in the crowd
the cremello gelding was led through his left eye removed and sewn shut due to
unknown reasons that no longer matter... shoes removed they will be slaughtered
in Canada.
This is why we fundraise for euthanasia look at those fetlocks... this horse
raced and entertained many then was used on the road and is now sold for
whatever last few dollars he will bring for slaughter. Contrary to pro
slaughter claims this is not the type of horse that the kill buyers want and he
will not bring much. The horses that bring the most money for slaughter
are the sound, healthy and fat called #1's.
Arabian mare and chestnut stud colt this isn't their first time here they were
reportedly here for the "Ice Cream Sale" but this is the last time they will be
together...
