Standardbreds: Your Ticket to an Amazing Ride

Every barn has at least a few Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, something half Arabian and the token Appy. But lately I’m noticing more and more that Standardbreds are taking up stall space. The fact that more people are willing to give this hidden gem of a breed a chance is great. After all, only a few decades ago a Standardbred who had run its last race was considered to be good… Continue

Annabella - another horse saved through the Horse Rescue Series

Annabella – A New Rescue Story





Annabella, ‘Bella’ came from an Appaloosa breeding farm – but not your typical breeding farm that handles the horses and provides regular care and maintenance. Poor Bella was pastured at a farm with 3

other stallions and the horses were not handled much – her feet were rarely

done (if they ever…

Horse Rescue Series!

This is Horse Rescue at its finest!

Lindsey has a history of saving horses from auction sales that may have gone to slaughter. She retrains them and gives them a second chance at life.

Any horse can be a caring and willing partner if only the handler takes the time to connect with the horse and show them that humans can be great partners! As Gary Convery believed - there are no

bad horses, only humans who don't have the desire or…

Starting and running a 501(c)3, or how to use up all your free time (24 April 2010)

So...what's in a by-law, anyway? Apparently, a LOT of legal jargon! Bluebonnet Humane Equine Society (www.bluebonnetequine.org) sent us their by-laws, and Colleen had been preparing some for what would become Borrowed Freedom Equine Therapies (www.borrowedfreedom.org). Still, I had to download forms (thanks, Google!) as to what needed to be in the by-laws, what constitutes a director, how many you need, how you will… Continue

Starting and running a 501(c)3, or how to use up all your free time (22 April 2010)

Gail from True Innocents Equine Rescue (www.tierrescue.org) gave us the heads up about the Ralph and Virginia Mullin Foundation. This is an organization that will assist groups devoted to animal welfare wishing to become 501(c)3.



I was doubtful: Special Horses isn't your run-of-the-mill kind of equine welfare organization, even though, at this point, we certainly had established ourselves as making an impact. We still applied, and surprise! we… Continue

Starting and running a 501(c)3, or how to use up all your free time (14 April 2010)

Through my Secret Santa efforts, I had become friendly with Lori Yonts of Sunkissed Acres Rescue and Retirement in Summerville GA. That December, just before Christmas, one of her barns had burned down. Through the wonderful generosity of so many on the Chronicles Forums, much of what had been lost - which was considerable - had been replaced. However, the insurance company did not come through with the actual value of the buildings and equipment, forcing Lori to take on additional work at… Continue

Starting and running a 501(c)3, or how to use up all your free time (13 April 2010)

I was becoming more educated. The Chronicle Forums had allowed me to better understand horses at risk - after all, I knew there were dog and cat shelters. What did people do with unwanted horses? They're much bigger, and far more expensive to maintain. Which is how I learned about slaughter. I had never given it much thought - although I'm not a vegetarian, my poor graduate student days had left enough of an impact that even when I could afford it, I rarely bought meat. Almost overnight, I… Continue

Starting and running a 501(c)3, or how to use up all your free time

I am President of Special Horses, Inc., a 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to helping smaller equine 501(c)3s with exposure and fundraising. While we in no way can cover all the PR and fundraising for any group, we try to help.



It started from my "Dribble Theory." Someone on the Chronicle of the Horse Forum would post about a horse in need, and I'd send in a small amount - not very much, maybe $5 or $10. But I would think, what if 50 people did that? 100? $5 is a dribble...but… Continue

Horse Rescue: Day One

When I went out this morning, Pickles made that encouraging hungry horsey sound and seemed happier than she did yesterday.



There is a look that horses get in their eyes that tells you what they’re thinking. Sometimes it's easier to read than others. But Pickles is an honest horse and I think she knows she's safe now.



We trimmed her mane last night and put some moisturizer on her feet. She is still walking a little sticky this morning and I'm debating whether or not I want to… Continue

Horse Rescue: She gave all she had to people who abused her.

Horse Rescue: She gave all she had to people who abused her.



Sometimes you do things that just don't make sense. This is one of them.

We got another horse today. Not just any horse - a starved, abused ex-racehorse.



She is in horrible shape; She's got rain rot all over her skin, her ribs are sticking out, and her feet are pretty messed up.



We've done this before and had great success, but that doesn't make it any less crazy - or any less expensive. But we are also… Continue
