Recent Rescues
In late May 2019, we began the process of transferring 43 horses from the former non-profit CERF to our facility in San Jacinto. All of the horses were in some state of starvation, some worse than others. There were many horses in critical health, many were in poor health. All horses had lost their “top line”. We treated some of these horses for liver and kidney failure which was a direct result of starvation. Some horses were also treated for gas and sand colic, most likely the result of them foraging for any type of food on the ground.
Against all odds, every horse survived and most have put back on all of their lost weight, plus some. There were many excuses on why these horses got this way such as, “we got a bad load of hay” or “the horses were old” to even blaming it on the rain. The reality is that these horses simply were not fed. This former non-profit rescue had been monitored for months. No food coming in and dead bodies coming out.
Thank you to former connections of these horses for helping us get these horses out of there and thank you to the media for doing what they could to expose this former non profit for the cruelty it inflicted on these horses. The following pictures were taken between 2-4 months following their rescue. See their before and after transformations below:
