We are not a rescue but horses in need find their way to us. We "fix" them up and find them a better situation. 5 of our 11 are rescues. The skinny ones are the easy fixes. Good feed and hay are easy enough to provide. The harder cases are the abused ones. I have 2 of those. My main riding horse has been a very difficult horse to work with but well worth all the extra time and effort. He was very badly abused. He was shown in pads and had his legs burned. He was pressure shod and hot nailed. He was also beaten. I thought for a time that I was going to have to put him down due to the fact his fear made him dangerous. He would blow up and mentally "check out". But he has finally come around with fair, consistent treatment. He knows what the rules are and being an intelligent animal he has figured out that breaking the rules earns punishment but never beatings. His trust is slowly coming back and I am starting to see glints of his personality coming through. He is a very imposing figure. Tall and regal with a proud bearing.
