Divorce is the number one cause of horses going to auction/slaughter/rescue, followed by owner death or financial hardship. Many amazing, healthy, well trained, talented horses like my Amigo end up in these places through no fault of their own. For any of you out there considering getting a horse, please consider rescuing with the help of a knowledgable trainer. An outstanding dear trainer friend who has rescued over 100 horses got me to Amigo 5 days before slaughter. He is a dream horse.
If you are seeking a horse, work with a reputable trainer who can help you find and select one that is structurally sound, sane, and healthy. You can google rescues near you and visit them. Lastly, you can PM me what you are looking for, where you are, and how best to reach you and I can forward the info to my friend who rescues horses all over the country and she will contact you if she thinks she can help. She is very honest and trustworthy, and matches people with rescue horses at no charge.
