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.

Joey Update

We are very sorry to say that Joey's evaluation for eye surgery was not successful and that the vets thought that it might cause him more harm than good. Joey has been back at the rehab barn for serveral weeks now. All the volunteers marvel at what a wonderful horse he is and how he adapts to every new environment. He is an amazing, trusting and confident horse!
The very best news is that Joey has been adopted and has left for his "forever home" in North Carolina. The departure was not without many tears shed by the volunteers that have cared for him and come to  know him in these past weeks. However, we all know that he has gone to a wonderful new home and will have several new buddies. An organization called Hope Reins in Raliegh, NC. has adopted Joey along with another horse named Speckles. Speckles was rescued last summer along with our pony J.J. and her companion goat Shalimar. Joey and Speckles will work at Hope Reins in their programs for disadvantaged children. You can learn more about this organization at http://www.hopereinsraleigh.org/ We are all very excited about the opportunities for Joey and Speckles in their new home. This is just another example of two more wrecked horses saved by the volunteers and given a wonderful second chance thanks to the wonderful people at Hope Reins.
