This past weekend April 18th through April 20th I completed the United States Equine Rescue League (USERL) Cruelty Investigators Course and will now be able to partner with the experienced investigators in the field investigating cases brought to our attention either by concerned citizens or by Law Enforcement Officers. More than 30 people took the course, at least two thirds of which were County Animal Control Officers and a few Assistant Commonwealth Attorneys.
USERL did a fantastic job putting on the course and presenting the subject matter and I was proud to be a USERL volunteer. USERL is strickly a Non Profit Volunteer Organization and does their work through donations. They provide their services to the various County Goverment groups and to others they work with free of charge. Most times USERL can and will provide transportation of equines, safe rescue barns and all feed and hay for these horses. Their volunteer Vets and Farriers provide medical and hoof care which is usually/always greatly needed for these horses. What a wonder feeling it has been to see a rescued horse return to the healthy, happy and normal life they deserve and what a wonderful group of people it is that makes up the USERL. Please take a minute and visit their web site. There is a link at the bottom of our page.
Our foster horse Snowy is doing well and gaining weight day by day. Her bone structure is far less noticeable and she is gaining more strength every day. She is going to be a very nice horse and should be ready for adoption soon.
