This blog is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of abused and neglected horses. It is a cause in which we believe and devote much of our time and resources. We hope that you will be touched by that you see and read here and will make a donation to help us help the Horses. Our new rescue organization is the Virginia Equine Welfare Society. Please visit their website www.vewshorses.org for information about volunteering, fostering horses, adopting horses and donating to the cause.

Abused Abandoned and Neglected Horses

This unfortunate subject should never exist in my opinion. Like all animals horses rely on us for daily basic needs. Horses are majestic animals that helped tame our country and make it what it is today. To neglect your responsibility to care and provide for them is criminal. There are too many girls and boys that dream of having there own horse not to be able to find a suitable home for a horse that is no longer wanted or able to be cared for by its owner. I want to encourage everyone to become involved in some way with one of the many rescue operations in your area. I have listed two links below for you to view. Kathy and I have adopted from Free Spirit Equine Rescue Shelter in the past and we are currently signing up to be Fosters with USERL. There are many ways anyone can help. Check out these sites or others near you and volunteer for this worthy cause.

Getting Started

To get started here I've added pictures of our horses. Cowboy is Hank's Tennessee Walker. He was here at Preference Farm when Kathy and I bought the farm in 1995. Tom Be Crusin is a Quarter Horse that Kathy currently rides and Ingaberry was a pure blooded Arabian. We had to put her down last year but she remains with us on the knoll in the pasture she loved. We also have a nice POA boarder named Freckles. I'll post her picture soon. Monte is our Sicilian Jackass (that means that now Kathy has two Jackasses...thank you very much) and resident driveway alarm. I'll post his picture soon also or you can see him on Kathy's blog at kritterskorner.blogspot.com. In addition to the above we have or have had the usual assortment of animals...cats (plural), dogs, strays,rescues etc. If Kathy could have her way we would have a zoo here.
Also for a little entertainment while you read the posts I've added some music from one of my favorite groups and now I'm showing my age but sorry the music today can't hold a candle to The Rolling Stone and other groups of the 60's and 70's (Now I sound like my dear Mother ...Happy 85 th Birthday November 3rd).
