This is what your monthly support actually pays for.

Today, one of our horses is in for X-rays and an ultrasound due to a serious injury, real diagnostic work that helps us understand exactly what’s going on and make the right decisions for his care moving forward. It’s not glamorous but it’s exactly the kind of veterinary work that happens quietly, month after month, because of Outriders like you.

Diagnostics like this aren’t optional. They’re how we catch problems early and give every horse in our care the best possible shot at a sound, healthy future.

PLEASE consider becoming an Outrider for the horses!

I’m sure some people question why we take our adoptable or program horses to shows. We do it because it builds awareness of what a rescue horse actually is.

For us, that looks like a lot of different things. It might be a horse seized by animal control for neglect or starvation. It might be a horse surrendered because a private owner could no longer care for him. It might be a soft, accredited landing for a racehorse ending his career and starting a new one. There are many faces to rescue work, and we’ve had them all.

Today, two of our students took two of our adoptable horses to a show at Hazelwild Farm Equestrian Center and it’s exactly why we do this. Taking adoptable and program horses to shows of different disciplines and levels shows people what these horses can go on to do. It helps smash the idea that something is wrong with every rescue horse.

We love getting to show off our Thoroughbreds after their racing careers. We also love taking a horse who came to us at a body score of 1.5, seized for neglect, and showing what proper care can do for him.

For us, showing was never about ribbons. It’s about education, and about changing what people think a rescue horse looks like.

Introduction Day for......

Horse #2 from the recent seizure!

"Arthur!"
Arthur is a 20 year old registered TB gelding that came into our care from a local animal control seizure due to neglect. He was a "sad" guy.

Arthur is the herd's leader, the calm and wise go-to for the others. He is stoic and brings peace. While Arthur's weight was not horrible, he had been struggling with medical issues such as eye issues and unable to open them fully, needed urgent dental care and hoof care.
He is now eating better, has a glowing coat and has received much needed vet care as well as dewormed!

Arthur's intake photos below and his most current photo of his progress ❤️

Please donate to the new intakes, their future and our mission!

Introduction Day for......

Horse #1 from the recent seizure!

"Poncho!"
Poncho is a 19 year old registered TB gelding that came into our care from a local animal control seizure due to neglect.

Poncho is a kind, intelligent guy that has been curious and willing during his transition. He had horrible hooves that needed urgent care, needed immediate dental care and deworming and his tail was just one big dreadlock. Today, he is thriving and his coat is glowing!

It's time we introduce you to the three horses that were seized by animal control that we just got custody of!

Meet Arthur, Poncho and Chickie! We will do individual introductions next. In the meantime, welcome the Three Amigos! They also got the luxury of being the first horses in our newest pasture... Even before we are fully done with it and they are loving it!

Please consider donating to their care and our mission!

We had great support from a local barn (Memory Lane Farm) while at our horse's first show this last weekend but we also have to show our support for another great farm/business/nonprofit.... Hope's Legacy Equine Rescue.

The dark bay horse that you see at the horse show, that is now heading to KY in Oct for RRP came to us from HLER. Hope's Legacy did such a fantastic job refeeding, vetting and assessing Timmy when he needed it the most! Just look at how they received him! Thank you for taking such great care of these guys and for trusting us to now continue his journey with helping him along his way and to find his forever home!

Rescues supporting rescues and horse people supporting horse people is how we are going to survive! 💪
