TN - Older Mare needs home!

"Hope" was purchased at an auction, several hundred pounds underweight. With some vet care and attention to diet, she has filled out and regained good health.

Now, Hope needs a special permanent home. A family of her own. Hope is almost completely blind, seeing nothing in one eye, and only shadows in the other. She can, however, still offer leadline rides to small children.

Hope is available through Mustang Alley Horse Rescue, an hour east of Knoxville TN. (Photos can be seen on their web site.) According to Kathy, MAHR's president, Hope loves to be around people and is equally adored by rescue volunteers. She is up to date on vaccinations and worming and had her teeth floated in October.

If you are interested in making Hope a member of your equine family, contact Kathy for more information

Horse Welfare Information

Don't forget to visit TREES' general horse welfare information site, HorseWelfare.net
This site depends very heavily on visitor input. We welcome information concerning events that benefit horse welfare organizations, be they fundraisers, clinics, open houses, or educational programs. We'd also like to hear about news related to horse welfare in general. The good, the bad and the ugly.
HorseWelfare.net also attempts to maintain a complete directory of horse welfare organizations around the world, but with new facilities opening on a regular basis, we need visitor help keeping the list current.
Please let us know if you have information to add, would like us to edit an entry, or can suggest links to add to any of the resource pages. Submit Info
