Dear Supporter,
As you might have gathered, here at the Wild Horse Rescue Centre we just can't turn any animals away. We currently have 59 rescued horses, mules and burros. That is a lot of animals who all need a lot of love, care, attention and food!
Our ultimate goal is to get the horses into tip-top shape so that they can eventually be adopted into permanent and loving homes. But, until the horses are ready we provide them with all of the things that they need to be rehabilitated.
We can spend as much as $3, 500 every six weeks providing basic care to the rescued animals. That includes veterinary bills, the farrier, training expenses and huge amounts of food- including bales and bales hay!
The rehabilitation process for these animals is good nutrition, quality veterinarian care, grooming, physical and mental training and lots of love. Most of the animals that are brought to us have been rescued from a variety of abusive situations. They have suffered neglect in the form of starvation, health care and grooming. They have been abused by improper training techniques and have been abandoned, usually as a result of their owners not having the financial resources to care for them properly.
This month, to help us ease the financial burden, your generous donations have helped us buy these beautiful creatures winter hay, which they absolutely love!
Thank you for helping us keep these animals that we love so much well fed and cared for. We couldn't do it without you!
With Gratitude,
The GVI Charitable Trust and the Wild Horse Rescue Centre
