Rescue Story

Going across Texas to rescue horses is a pretty typical day for us. The call came from south Texas. A horse had been seized by law enforcement from a possible drug trade. He is probably a bit older than 5 years of age and gentle for a stallion. After spending several days at the local animal shelter while officers waited to see if anyone would respond to a stolen horse notice, they had to make the decision about what to do with him. Their choices were either auction or us – Habitat for Horses. They made the right choice and gave us a call. If he had gone to auction, the risk of him being going to a slaughter house would have been magnified ten-fold.

Keep Our Herd Cool this Summer

Texas heat is hard on our entire herd, but especially for our seniors like Jericho here. Older equines struggle with regulating their body temperature, have trouble breathing, and can become dehydrated quickly. The cost of caring for them adds up fast — can you send a gift and help us prep for the season?
