Mel had been checking out rescue facilities that take in abused and neglected horses. After checking on-line and making some phone calls, he discovered Greener Pastures, a recue facility, located in Stonewall. He talked with them and they had 2horses they thought would be a good "fit" for our farm.
Trinket, a Paint, is the one we adopted. She is good with kids and that was what we were wanting for the grandkids.
Rosebud, the sorrel, is the one we are fostering. She is uneasy in new situations, but after settling in and knowing a routine she will be a great mare to have around to pet, brush, and take care of.
We filled out adoption papers and foster care papers to be able to get them.
Who knows what kind of abuse and neglect these horses have seen. Our goal is to provide them a loving home where they will be well taken care of.
