Went out to see some of the horses, donkeys, mules and ponies that were recently rescued from a deplorable situation in West Virginia by the HSUS. A total of 49 equids along with other various animals were rescued last month.
I got to meet a few of our readers and friends whilst there today...I am SO sorry I didn't get to say bye to everyone...it was kind of crazy (ok, I had no hat, no water, the wrong sunglasses and YES I wore sandals - more on that in a minute) and I was feeling a bit woozy so we went to get something to drink and I didn't get to say bye...ugh!!! I am so sorry!!!
But...looks like I may be back on Saturday to help groom up some of the rescues!
Finally, the sandals...I have a TERRIBLE habit of going in and loving on anything equine and that usually ends with "oh, we can take (insert name) and help place (insert name)"...ssssoooooo...I thought, hhhmmmm...if I wear my non horsey, non manure covered sandals I will have to stay out of the fields and just visit over the fence! But, gosh dernit I found some I found totally adorable anyway!!
Which means on Saturday, there will be no sandals and I am sure Angel Acres will be snagging a few of these guys and retraining and rehoming them in the very near future! We will, as always, keep you posted!!
Have a great night everyone :o)

Miss Judge - Update - Not Bad for a slaughter bound mare...
You might remember Miss Judge from the April 2009 Pat and Linda Parelli 
Celebration...she was the rescue chosen to represent all rescue horses in one of 7 Parelli Celebrations across the nation.She was the mare we pulled from the kill pen with feet the size of dinner plates, but the sweetest face and kindest eye. (you can google Miss Judge Parelli and see her stories or go to our media page to read more about her) Solid, sound (sans dinner feet) and sweet...STILL she was thrown away and headed for slaughter...simply because she didn't get in foal...sigh...
Happy Endings Are Totally Our Thing...ssssoooo....
We had A TON of applications for her...but...we felt the best match was with Pat of PA...and looks like we were right...WOW!!!!
Big Thanks to Pat for giving Miss Judge now known as Tessa a second shot at life...
And big thanks to the HSUS and Pat and Linda Parelli for allowing us to show the world just how great a rescue horse can be!

Racing To End To Horse Slaughter: The Humane Society of the United States
Racing To End To Horse Slaughter: The Humane Society of the United StatesPlease read the story below, no gruesome photos though one sad photo of horses being hauled in a cramped truck (shown to the left)...but it's why people like the folks at Angel Acres, Mid Atlantic Horse Rescue, Shiloh Horse Rescue, and many others around the nation live and breathe horse rescue every, single day.
Story is here:
Please do whatever you can to help spread the word about horse slaughter and the need for rescue...contact a local rescue and see if you can volunteer or send a donation to a favorite rescue...any and all of these actions help us save lives.
Thanks HSUS for doing this story!

-- A dog groomer is sued by a client claiming that negligence caused her animal to suffer;
-- A woman sues for pain and suffering after a neighbor's animal causes the death of her pet.
"As a long-serving board member of my local Miami-Dade Humane Society, I feel truly honored to be working with The HSUS," said Judge Young.
