[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 981381, member: 14661"] Good for you. :clap: I mean that. I hope your rescue works. You have a good heart and I'd like to see that be rewarded. Out here rescues are a slow and agonizing death for horses. They start as well intentioned and well run rescues but when the reality sets in and the money runs out the horses are the ones that pay. A few rescues here have wound up sending the horses to slaughter after feeding them for a year or two and the end result is that the owner goes bankrupt over horses that were going to die anyway. A bunch of them have been closed down by the county for animal neglect and alot of those horses wind up being euthenized. The horses that are salvageable go to other rescues and wait until the money runs out there. :frowns: FWIW, I've never sent a horse to slaughter. The two that I've had that were bad*** enough that I got tired of them made it into bucking strings. The mediocre horses get sold to people who don't need much horse and the good ones stay until they're uncomfortable and then there's a decisive ending. Two of my best are giving rides to disabled kids for a living... it works out well since they had a :dunce: sitting on them for the first half of their life... They think that's how it's suposed to work. [/QUOTE]
