HELP!!! Need to Save This Horse!!!
Gelding Broke to Ride - Going for Meat!
by Christine Markle-Welch
Gorgeous, friendly and sweet; easy to catch and halter, this young gelding would make a great trail, or Western Games horse. We're pretty sure he is a former school horse. He is in the meat pen,and scheduled to be shipped approximately Wednesday this week. 
Horse Responds Well to Neck Reining
While we were at the auction barn,, I rode him. He responded well to neck reining, even backing up sweetly, just with bailer twine attached to his halter! I have already expressed my interest in this fellow. Of course, our challenge is our budget. Anyone wanna help out?
Rescue Budget Stretched To Limits
We are constantly re-juggling and have to pay bills sometimes! If you know of anyone interested in him, or any of our others, one adoption fee saves the next!
You can find more information about this horse and others on our Freedom Valley Horse Rescue Blog: Horse Adopt Ontario –Meat Horses
Christine Markle-Welch, and her husband, Howie, Welch, started their rescue in May '08 as a result of watching so many nice horses end up going for meat. To date they have saved over 65 horses from that terrible end, and are always ready to help more. They are a non-profit organization. Although they are not yet registered, they believe that profiting from their horses' situation would be wrong. Their goal is to save, and find homes for as many horses as they possibly can, and work on training those who need it so they won't end up in that position again.
