R & R New Options Equine hasn't added a story.
Charger, a horse we rescued about 4 years ago, has a story that is all too familiar. We received a call from a local sheriff informing owner, Leslie Roach, that there was an abandoned horse. The distressed officer asked if we would rescue this horse and bring him back to our facility. Leslie rushed to the scene and found an abused and emaciated horse with open sores all over his body, his legs shaved, his nasal cavities crushed and deformed. He had been beaten, starved, and left to die on an isolated road. He was traumatized and frightened. Leslie tried desperately to coax him into her trailer but he couldn’t trust her. Finally she broke down in tears and pleaded, “I don’t know how I can help you if you don’t come with me.” At that moment, he looked at Leslie and walked into the trailer!
It took months for Charger’s physical wounds to heal and even longer for his emotional wounds. But Charger has a whole new life now. His sores are gone; he runs free in our pastures, and he has a happy and safe forever home surrounded by loving New Options Equine volunteers!
The covered corral we hope to buy will give our horses, students, and guests protection from the elements, warmth, and a safe place in which to host our programs. Many of our equine are permanently damaged from the abuse they suffered, especially emotionally, and a protected area in which to exercise or play, activities critical for their healing, would greatly enhance their recovery, comfort, self-confidence and trust!
If you’ve ever loved an animal, you know what it feels like share unconditional love, to be trusted implicitly for care and nurturance and the joy that comes from this special relationship. If you’ve ever loved an animal, you share the outrage and and shock we feel when we rescue a mistreated animal and wonder how anyone could be so cruel. If you’ve ever loved an animal, we implore you to help us care for these innocent, beautiful, and brave horses that have a second chance at New Options Equine.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any amount you can donate.
