In August 2009, we got a call about a baby that needed help -- he wasn't very far from the rescue.  When we went over to check him out, I looked into the stall, and right then I knew there was no leaving this baby behind.  He looked so small and alone, huddled in a corner.  He had what appeared to be cataracts in both eyes.  He had diarrhea.  He was thin, wormy, and had places where he was missing his coat.  His backend was weak, and he was wearing unhealthy baby fur.

I hugged him and started scratching his neck and started humming to him.  He swayed to the left, to the right, to the left, back and forth to the scratches and humming.  I love to listen to Ray Charles; and this little boy, swaying back and forth to the humming, reminded me of him -- the name Baby Ray came to me.  So, meet Baby Ray.

Sometimes we pay to get a horse out of its desperate situation and then pay to transport the horse to our rescue.   Many have been neglected and/or abused and, once they are safely here, they are in need of vet, farrier, and dental care, which is also costly.

Once the horses are safe here, then there are the expenses that come with every horse:  feed, wormers, etc.  And, with 34 horses in residence, we go through a ton of hay about every four days. 

We cannot do this alone.  We need assistance from caring individuals, groups, and businesses.  No amount is too small -- please give today to help the horses by visiting our Donate page.  Donations are tax-deductible.
