I live very close to this center and it is amazing the work they do. Kentucky is having a lot of horses turned over or abandoned due to the economy
It's so nice to see your shelter as this ia a very needed service. I'm just disappointed that you would advertise horse breeders on the same site when too many are bred without thought to the fact that there just aren't enough homes for the horses that are out in the world now. I know that the old adage is,"I don't breed that many so I'm not flooding the market", but add all those people together and yes, they are.
I just read your article in the magazine and was so happy to see the rescue of the month. I adopted a horse from Days End about 3 years ago and I can't say enough good things about him. I've loved every second spent with him. He has taught me so much and has really helped to build my confidence up. My dad rides him and he's a beginner. I use to volunteer at Days End and I loved every second of it. I wish I could continue to volunteer there but with two horses it's very hard! What these rescues do for these horses is amazing and they don't get nearly enough recognition for it. So thank you for giving them the spotlight they deserve.
I adopted "April", a mixed breed that was 2 years old, but looked like 1... she had wounds all over her body and a terribly feet. Now, she is bigger and so pretty! You can look up her profile here,to see her pic. She is a lovebly horse! I wish I could help more horses like her, but we don't have enough space here...
Diary of a Horse Rescue is an awsome idea! I love hearing stories about rescued pets- hopefully it will inform people more about rescuing, instead of buying. Great job HC!
I agree with Anna, good job HC, I plan on buying a horse from a rescue SOON,(i hope) I love horses and cannot wait to start showing this summer... I think rescue articals are a good idea....
