Sweetheart is
just that, an amazing, intelligent sweet girl! She is 9 months old and has quite
a story to tell. Sweetheart was purchased by her previous owner from a woman in
the Galeton/Eaton area that was recently convicted of animal cruelty for
starving a horse resulting in death. This precious little girl has entered our
Sanctuary because the woman who purchased her is no longer able to care for her
or any of her other animals due to alcoholism issues.
This curiously wonderful little filly has a special need, she has a very
large hernia that will require surgery and she needs your help to make this
possible or she faces serious health complications.
Please help her live, make a contribution to Sweetheart
today!
Another Unfortunate Case of Horse Neglect
Plains
Sugar Babe is her registered name, she is now 25 years old. She was once a
beautiful, thriving young mare, born in Loma, Colorado to a Miss Leo Royal
and Mr. Plains Bar.
Sugar Babe has been through six owners since her birth in 1983. Some
treated her like royalty and others forgot to care or worked her so hard
she nearly fell over
Sugar Babe came to our Sanctuary, her current caretaker
fulfilling a promise to her previous owner never to run her through the
kill sale. That did not protect her from starvation or an injury that
festered for four months, a puncture from a t-post into her rear hip.
Sugar Babe's hooves and lower legs along with her right side were covered
in horse manure, a sure sign that her stall was not cleaned. She hardly
lifted her head all last night and into today from her hay and senior
grain. Finally, this afternoon she stopped to take a look at her
surroundings. She found a wonderful friend in Michelle, one of our
incredible volunteers who helped to give Sugar Babe a bath and scrub the
manure from her sides and hooves. She immediately perked up, listening,
hearing the other horses, though she has to stay separated for now for the
special care she is receiving. She is alive again and she needs your help
to begin to thrive.
Please consider making a donation towards Sugar Babe and the care she is
receiving here at our Sanctuary. This is made possible because of you and
your support.
DENKAI RESCUES TWO BLM MUSTANG MARES AND THEIR FOALS!
UPDATE!! The Mustang colts are getting big and it is time to start
working with them!
Floss and others went on Thursday, July 12, 2007 to rescue two BLM
mustang mares with two 5 day old colts at their side. These two mares
are not handleable, they are now 7 years old and have been off the
range for 4 years now. They were bred to a stallion for purposes
of selling the babies, however things went sour for the owner
financially and these horses, even these little tiny babies were
facing a gun barrel.
Needless to say, our rescue efforts lasted a total of 3 hours, the
first mare and foal loaded right away and without incident. The
second, a red roan mare and paint colt were another matter. This
mare refused to follow her colt into the trailer, we of course do this
the humane way without roping the horse to the ground and dragging her
into the trailer, which is something that we have had the unfortunate
ability to witness from those less educated.
So, after two hours of working with the second mare, we finally
succeeded in loading her and her foal into the trailer without
incident or injury to any involved. One of our volunteers, Katie
accompanied us on this adventure and will have some stories to tell
from it!
We finally arrived back to the Sanctuary at 3:00 am on Friday, July
13 to unload these mares and foals at their new home, where they will
be safe and sound for years to come!
Don't miss the opportunity to sponsor one of these pairs or
even just a foal.
They Found LOVING
HOMES!
