And Remember Hal the blind horse we rescue out of the lot in NC last year? He is also doing great at RainHill Equine Sanctuary in KY. Such a sweet boy. 😊❤️😊❤️
❤❤VEE had her baby foal this morning. This mare was at the TN feedlot last August and no one knew she was in foal at the time. Thank you to Mareworthy for giving VEE and her baby a home. We are grateful we could help get VEE to safety and she and her baby are alive today. ❤❤
❤️❤️Praire Storm has arrived at HBC to begin her quarantine. She was such a good girl on the trip and unloaded like a champ. You made it sweet girl . One day at a time. ❤️❤️
God Bless the Broodmares for they suffer so. There is something fundamentally wrong in the breeding industry that some people think it is ok to throw a broodmare like Skip a Dare & so many others to the wolves when they are done w/ them.This mindset must change & mares protected.
💔😢Our hearts are broken.Sadly Miss Peggy got down in her stall & cld not get up on her own. It took 3 people to get her up.Her L hind leg/stifle cld no lnger support her.Our org & Epona made th decision to euthanize her & let her be pain free.She ws loved & we will miss her💔😢

❤❤Update! Here is something to bring a smile 😊 to your face and believe in hope and never giving up. It is the one and only Winning Magic aka Racer. Look at how beautiful and strong he is now. It has been a very long road but this horse is a fighter and has overcome so much.
😢💔We are all so heartbroken that Lucky Herb did not get to live out the rest of his life like he should have. Sometimes when we save horses from going to slaughter we cannot save them long term because so many people failed a horse prior to that. Such is the case with Herb.
❤️❤️Sometimes one phone call or message can save a horse's life. Such is the case of Machos Vision. She was at the CO feedlot last month, thin and scared. The lot named her Zana. Her time was running out and her identity unknown until her tattoo was deciphered. Once we knew who
❤❤Lady Rizzi left this afternoon on her way to her retirement home in FL at Mill Creek Farm, Retirement Homes for Horses. She will lay over tonight and arrive tomorrow. She will be permanently retired. This mare has more than done her job. A stakes winner and lifetime winnings
Mount Defiance aka Doc taking a a little rest after his work day at Forever Amber Acres Sanctuary in Ohio. We are so proud of him & the work he & FAAS does helping veterans, first responders & kids. A gentle giant. This guy really is 17 hands tall.

Update: Skip a Dare is now in quarantine. She is eating & drinking ok & no temp so far. She is very thin so have to take it slow but gradually over time she will gain it back. Her feet are also a mess. Most importantly she is safe. One day at a time. What a grand dame she is❤️❤️

The suffering ths 23 yr old mare Keepthename endured is unconscionable. She was at a KS feedlot. A fellow org TA got her to an equine clinic. She was xrayed whch revealed a crushed skull w/ a rampant infection. Nasal drainage had bone fragments. Sadly she was euthanized. Cont:

Look at how cute this filly is . Mama was at a feedlot last summer in AR. This baby would have never had a chance to be born if her mama would not have been rescued. They are both beautiful and deserve the best in life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤Bryce's Angel now known as Grady at The Bridge Sanctuary just loves his hay and alfalfa. This boy has been thru so much and he was so exhausted when he arrived. He is cautious and wouldn't lay down for three days but he finally did. He is just so endearing. Keep eating and

This is a disgrace. 21 Yr Old TB mare, Northeast Winds at feed/kill lot in CO. This mare made over $240,000 racing & has been bred for past 13 years & given life to 10 foals. Her deadline is tomorrow at 10AM. She deserves better than this. She needs a home ASAP!

❤️Update: Adanna arrived safely at the QT farm. She is watchng torrential rain coming down. Needs more weight but not as bad as some.Has an old head injury not sure frm what. Pretty mare & sweet. Once she can be cleaned up a bit & gains weight she will be even more beautiful❤️

❤️🩹😴💤 Bryce's Angel resting this morning after breakfast. Horses get so exhausted and dehydrated in the auction/slaughter pipeline. Margaret said he is still a bit cautious but he will learn to trust again with kindness, patience and love. You are in safe hands now sweet boy.
We help to rescue this mare from a lot in TX today along w/ HBC. She was in extreme pain & was taken to a vet clinic. Unfortunately she had to be euthanized due to severe infection in the joint. She ws Tag 242 but HBC named her Taryn before she passed. No more pain sweet girl😪😥
On Monday, AWHC Utah Conservation Operations Manager, Tandin Chapman was on site to document the release of 50 mares and 12 stallions back onto the Cedar Mountain Herd Management Area (HMA).

We are so saddened by the passing of Big Amos aka Spirit frm colic. We are thankful for the love & care he received at FAA the past 5 years since rescuing him from slaughter in 2017. He helped many veterans & touched a multitude of hearts. RIP sweet boy.Your job on earth is done
❤❤ Our next to oldest sanctuary retiree Quick Question (29) aka QQ is getting hunkered down on her side of the shed she shares with Smokey Mink (32) our oldest retiree. This little mare who is only about 15.1 hands tall had 14 live foals during her broodmare career. She wrongly
❤️Remember La Pretty Boy & how sad and thin he was at the feedlot. Look at him now. This horse's mouth was one of the worst that we have ever seen. After extensive dental work that HBC's vet did on him, he is doing and feeling better. Another great job by Linda & her team at HBC

😡😡😡What in God's name is wrong with people. These three TB weanling fillies are at the TX lot. They are so young and now have been thrust in to the auction/feedlot pipeline. They need angels and a home where they will be safe and taken care of. Shame on the person or persons
❤️❤️Hope the mare we saved last summer is believed to be Dona Raquel. We don't know who the sire of the foal is or if he is a thoroughbred but look at this little filly run. Once she started figuring out where Mom's milk was she is full of energy, at least for a a little while at

New York State’s horse slaughter ban officially takes effect today!
This law prohibits the slaughter of equines for human & animal consumption and the transport of slaughter-bound horses to, from & through NY, saving countless equines from this cruel and unspeakable fate.

still champs! Thank you for all of the support you have given us helping thoroughbreds in need. Your compassion for the horses is to be commended. We and the many horses you have helped thank you very much. ❤️ 🙂
❤️❤️🩹❤️❤️🩹Look at Tommy aka Okie Heater today. Who would have thought this could be the same emaciated horse we rescued in December from the TX lot. Great rehabilitation job by Lynn and Thoroughbred Athletes. You are one handsome boy Tommy. ❤️❤️
The number of thoroughbreds that continue to end up in the slaughter pipeline is absolutely tragic & extremely unfair to the horses that will pay with their lives via a brutal death. Our org & others can only help so many and we are all overwhelmed. Things have got to change
❤😴Spectacularjourney aka Spec was so tired last night not even the bad thunderstorms could shake him up. Horses get so incredibly exhausted in the auction/slaughter pipeline. Standing for days or weeks on end and not much water or nutrition. It is horrible. This boy will never

Praire Storm is enjoying her meals and alfalfa. She loves to talk to Linda at feeding times. All Senior broodmares deserve a safe retirement and protection and not ending up at feedlots.
❤❤If Winning Magic aka Racer could sing he would probably sing that song "How do you like me now, now that I'm on my way" This boy has come so far. It has been a long journey for him and everyone and the expense has been enormous. Please consider donating to his Gofundme at

Sadly Miss H aka Beauty did not survive. Even though we do all we can to save them sometimes they have been so neglected, abused & starved that we cannot bring them back. She was surrounded by love at the end. This mare gave everything she had and gave life to 11 live foals.Cont:
