"I started out just wanting to buy a nice family horse. What I found was a horse that needed a family...."
Red was rescued this past year in January. After calling Idaho Equine Rescue I realized the fate of this horse. The owner stated if I did not take him he was taking him to the slaughter house since he had no use for a horse on the Ranch. The picture on his add must have been extremly old because the skeleton that stood before me hardly resembled a horse. I went home that night and could not sleep for days. I knew that horse was out in the sleet starving to death. The local equine rescues are over ran and have no room. Could I possibly take him on? With the guidance of my friends at Idaho's largest and only recognized horse rescue I began the process of obtaining Red and starting his radical rehabilitation. It was over $2000 when it was said and done. Between hoof care, extreme dental correction, blood work and almost $10/day of feed he made an amazing comeback.
I have always loved horses but have always been conservative on the number of my herd because I understand the costs involved with owning horses and maintaining them properly. I recently took on another rescue who needed extensive hoof re-shaping and correcting. Luckily, she had an Ace in her pocket and had a private donor sponsor her final corrective hoof care treatment.
Others are not so fortunate.
The Point- there are very few Equine rescues in Idaho. The ones that exist are unable to take in horses due to no room ( as of Jan 2018). I would like to purchase property and start another small scale non profit rescue to help more horses in need of basic help and rehome upon rehabilitation/training them into approved families. With donations I can help out with over flow from the other rescue and take on some of these horses our selves.
Long term I would love to join troubled inner city children up with neglected and abused horses and start a summer camp on this property.
