Rescued Horses

Meet "diablo' a beautiful racehorse recovering from a knee injury at the rescue center

this is Spencer






rescued chickens that arrived as little chicks after Easter was over (when parents realized they had no idea what to do with  chicks in their backyard!)



As you may already have guessed, I love horses. 





This past weekend I went to an orientation class to volunteer at the Friends of Horses Rescue and Adoption  center. I will be around horses (yes mainly cleaning manure, feeding them) but this is what I like doing, just being around these magnificent creatures is enough for me. After speaking to the owner,  I'm considering leasing a horse, at least for a couple of months, before I can decide if adopting a horse is the responsible thing to do. I mean, not only is there the financial part but you also have to bond with your horse, and this is only possible by spending time with them. It's a big commitment!

  2. hi there happy horse lady.
    here's a website you will like too.

    it's all about a large group of wild horses, cared for and protected by good folks.

    they live together in the surroundings of Livno (bih).

    knowing now you love horses, and for those who love nature, look at it.

    this group of horses living in the wild totals about two hundred animals.
    they live just over the Croatian/Bosnian border, another fine reason to love this part of the world.

    have a great weekend, cleaning, brushing, pampering those fine animals.

  13. Elisa, this is awesome. I'm so happy that you're taking part in such a wonderful rescue organization & mission. I did an article for work (two years ago, maybe?) on rescued horses and visited my facility... broke my heart! But happy that these horses can find forever homes in a safe environment.

    Also, beautiful pictures. Look forward to reading your updates on this volunteer activity!
