Hey so, I’ve been volunteering at a horse rescue for the last few months and it’s been absolutely wonderful. They take in carriage horses who can no longer pull carriages or young horses who can’t carry riders due to injury or conformation issues and give them a safe home so they don’t have to go to slaughter.
Unfortunately, last year was a bad season for growing hay, and they had to pay more than their budget to feed the horses throughout the winter. Now they’re short on hay AND cash and asking for help.
The page for the hay drive is here. A bale of hay only costs $5CAD. I know a lot of us are broke as fuck but if you can spare $5 to help my horse friends, or even just pass this on, I would appreciate it so much!
These are the animals who are relying on A Horse Tale to provide a home and a happy ending:
Balou and Blanco, retired carriage horses
Ulysses and Saari, a bonded pair. Ulysses is a carriage horse who can no longer pull a carriage and Saari was a neglect case who came to us underweight and with laminitis.
Remady, a sweet young mare with neuro and possibly physio issues.
Rocky, a racer who broke an ankle and can no longer race
Buddy, AHT’s first rescue
Jack, a sweet boy who can’t be used for riding because he has Shivers
Smouch, who can’t carry a rider due to a conformation problem
And finally, our only pony, Chocolate!
Like I said, I know that most everyone on tumblr is short on money, but if you can help this place I would appreciate it so, so much. The work they’re doing is incredible, and being able to be there helps my state of mind immensely.
