Congratulations to Safe Haven Horse Rescue

It is amazing when we think that the Horse population is larger in US than the early 20th Century.

Good for us, as people who enjoy a close relationship with the HORSE, but bad for those horses who find themselves Abused and abandoned by their owners who just don't understand the responsibility when they acquire the noble steed.

To the right Onyx as he Arrived at Safe Haven

Because of the Population increase, tough economic times in some sectors, many horses are found neglected, abused and abandoned. The rise of Charitable groups around the US, known as Horse Rescue Facilities have sprung up around the country...
But they NEED support.

The average horse consumes 1 bale of hay a week in confinement, and most of these horse also need supplements to bring them back to health which at current hay prices represents about$50-$60 per month [per horse for nutrition, plus the cost of farrier and Vet supplies and Vaccines.

My Favorite Horse rescue located in Cottonwood Ca, is The Safe Haven Horse Rescue. Currently the manager Linda Richards, who also donates her property and the wonderful volunteer crew are caring for 60 horses many of which are responding quickly to the top-notch care and providing Horse Experience for local Youth, who could not afford the opportunity to meet and enjoy the HORSE
They just completed a fund raising raffle and raised $600, thanks to the donation of the Harrah Family from Barns By Harrahs, Corning California
