I’m the founder of “Second Chance Equine Rescue” our organization rescues horses before there shipped to slaughter
Our organization is dedicated to rescuing horses from kill pens, as well as any animals in situations of unwant, neglect, and abuse. We believe in the power of second chances; that all animals deserve an opportunity to feel loved and secure through fostering trust in the animal-human relationship.
What started as a small-scale operation is now a rescue that is at maximum capacity. There are so many unwanted horses that end up with the unfortunate fate of being slaughtered, but Second Chance is trying to save as many horses as possible, to train and rehabilitate them, and find them forever homes.
The more horses we rescue, the higher our operating costs go. Until we obtain our 501c3, we are relying solely on generous donations from those individuals who feel connected to our mission – to inspire and educate the community while providing second chances to animals through rescue and rehabilitation.
Hay for our rescues (we spend $2,000 per month)
- Feed for our rescues (we spend $500 per week)
Farrier services for our rescues (we spend around $1,600 every seven weeks)
- Veterinary services (we spend $200 per horse)
- Dental workups (we spend $150 per horse)
- Emergency medical expenses (unexpected expenses often arise when dealing with rescues)
- Supplements (we would like to get more of our rescues on the supplements, but need the funding to do so)
