To Anybody Who Can Help,

I stumbled upon some horses today that are starving to death!!

One mare is so bad I can see her entire hip bones and spine. The other 2 are in better shape, but deteriorating quickly. There are also 2 foals, probably about 4 mos. old.

I was out looking for barns to board at or lease and this barn was for rent. I ran into a woman there who is dropping off bales of hay when she can to them. They have 1 bale in the barn and no grain. The owner is not telling the truth about what is going on, but he is ready to get rid of them. The woman I ran into knows the owner and does not want to call Animal Control. It would be better for them if they could find a home, or someone who can nurse them back to health.

I cannot take any of them. I board my horses and they are full, and I don't have the $$$ to care for them. All I can do is donate a bag of grain or 2 and try to find them a home.

There is 3 Chestnut Mares. About 15h each. 2 of the mares have foals. They are Quarter Horse's.

The one mare that is starving, not sure if she will make it another day, is one with a foal. The foals are dark bays. I couldn't get a good look, but the foals both look like Fillies.

Please, if anybody can give us some donations to help feed them till we can find a home, or if anybody has the room, money and the heart to help them, please give me a call. Only those who are SERIOUSLY INTERESTED PLEASE. I don't want to be inundated with phone calls. If you are interested and have never done a Rescue horse, I can help you if you take them.

You can make donations to my Pay Pal account if you wish.

Any questions, just e-mail me, and I will keep everybody posted.

Please help if you can!

 If one person.... knows another person.... who knows another person... that does not want to turn a person in for straving a horse..hmmmm sounds kinda funny to me..but she will put her phone number up...but only want's interested peeps...and you can send money to her using her pay pal...COME ON

I smell a scammer!!

and I'm sorry but if i seen any horse who was starving like she said they are...Turn there sorry butt in hellllllllllo...

Maybe the Owner of the horses should take on the responablity  and take the HEAT for not feeding the animals... instead of  depending on some do gooder to step in and do it for them!!!!
