In 2006, when Remington Acres Equine Services, Inc. (RAES -Shelter #1104759) was created as a safe sanctuary for neglected and abused animals. We are a service organization dedicated to serving horses, horse people and the community at large. RAES is managed by a group of dedicated volunteers and sponsors, however the brunt of the responsibility is carried by our founder and her husband: Rosemarie and Terry Westover. They have dedicated their lives and finances to the care of the animals and this facility.

Unfortunately Terry was diagnosed with diabetes in 2010 and went through a triple bypass surgery in 2012. A farrier by trade, Terry works for himself and does not have insurance. Terry was recently treated for an infection with an antibiotic that has wreaked havoc on his body. He is currently at LBJ hospital in hospital in ICU with acute renal failure.

Please support this amazing man and his wife, as they continue to fight for his health and the well being of RAES. Any funds raised above and beyond Terry’s medical needs will be contributed directly to RAES.

MORE INFORMATION ON RAES
The RAES facility is located on 52 acres. It is totally natural, with places to walk, commune with horses, meditate bird watch or gaze at stars. We frequently have a campfire on chilly nights when all the chores are done. There is even a large pond where the horses swim. RAES brings people and horses together for a number of reasons but the foremost reason is for healing and peace. We strive to form forever lasting bonds between horses and humans. Most of our horses come out of bad situations and have constantly been moved around from the time they are just a few months old. They have been dragged from their equine and human families and friends repeatedly.

Our horses are not listed as 'adoptable' because we are a sanctuary and we intend to provide each horse a permanent place in our population for the rest of their lives. However, we also realize that horses, like humans, desire a special bond and interaction with a partner, or mate. Additionally, we recognize that horses thrive when they have a job and a responsibility. Sometimes those bonds and opportunities supersede our desire to have them remain at RAES. Therefore, in some cases, our horses are adopted via a stringent application process.
