New Mexico Horse Rescues

The one thing I simply can not understand is why people do not seek help for their Equine friends before they are to the point of starvation.

The 2 most recent ones came to me in horrible condition because their person who was entrusted to take care of them failed to.  They are in horrible shape and so skinny, you can count ribs, see their spine, and their hip bones.  The Gelding, his feet overgrown and very distrustful of humans.  Of Course, who could blame him.  The mare, not in much better shape but at least her feet were not overgrown making it uncomfortable to walk. 

Look at this image of the gelding from the front.  Notice how thin he is.


The mare from the front, you can see her hipbones
sticking out from her side.

If at any time, you cant care for your horses properly, I encourage you to contact a Horse Rescue yourself and surrender your equine friend.  Because if you truly care for the horse, you will do right by the horse.  NEVER Think that if you give your horse away to someone you trust that your beloved friend will be safe.  That is the case of my 2 most recent arrivals.  The owner trusted a family to take care of them and they obviously did not.  Now my job is to love them, make them healthy and get them to trust people again so they can understand that not all humans are mean. 

If you know of any horses or any other livestock that is not being cared for properly, then please, just call the NM Livestock board and notify them of the situation before it gets worse.  They take reports seriously and they will go to the location and investigate. 

 I have only listed those rescues here on this page that are certified by the New Mexico Livestock board and who have successfully passed the New Mexico Livestock Board Requirements.
