The story of these two horses actually started two months ago, when we received a phone call from a concerned individual, letting us know that there were two Arabian mares who were being neglected and were starving. We let them know that we could help, and ensured that the horses would be fed. After two months of trying … [Read more...]

Update: Zebedee

We are so happy to report that Zebedee is doing wonderfully in his new home! His new owner has renamed him Ash, because her grey Andalusian is named Smokey.
