Double L Stable Equine Rescue and Sanctuary

Double L is a rescue and sanctuary for abused, neglected, and other 'unwanted' equines of all types. Sanctuary horses interacted w/ special needs people.

At Double L Stable Equine Rescue and Sanctuary we work with abused, neglected, and other 'unwanted' equines. Horses that can be rehabbed and adopted out are helped to find wonderful new homes. Those who require a sanctuary setting for various reasons live out their days with us interacting with high function handicapped folks, at risk youth, and teens with social disorders. We sometimes have folks

here to do community service time through the local court house. Most of the time these people are fighting to get the live back under control and their time here is part of their drug court hours. Horses have an amazing effect on people and our horses seem to understand what is is to come back from something hard. Everything we do here is based on gifts and donations from kind care people. We have no paid staff at all.

After 25 years there is one horse in care at a new location with me, and one elsewhere. I have partnered with a friend to form a 501(c)3 Equine Rescue group called the 100 Horses Project. Our last project was sending gift cards for feed to a headman of the Navajo Nation. He is personally caring for 10 special needs wild horses on his reservation.

Hello all. It's been a hot minute for sure. As many of you know I am not currently at the Argyle location right now. For the past 3 years I have been staying locally elsewhere helping care for a family member on hospice. It is not safe to return there, even to operate the barn. I a sorry and feel as though I have let so many of you, as well as the horse, down. I stayed until the very last seniors passed of old age and 1 horse went to a new sanctuary to work with veterans. While I will not go into details here, the handful of you who know me personally will understand, the rest of the horses' supporters will have to have faith I did all I could. I spent years rescuing and helping others and to continue I finally had to save myself. You may all like to know that Double L has helped in the founding of a new 501(c)3 Equine Rescue and that I am the herd manager for the Hundred Horses Project. This project was a life long dream of my dear friend Sharon LaPier. Her dream is now a reality.
( I am now working professionally as an Animal Control Officer in several areas of Washington County, NY -these are all small part time jobs for separate towns and villages within the county but I am pushing for a county wide program with a shelter.) Hundred Horses is just getting off the ground. Just this year our largest donation was a year round gazebo donated by Lowes in Saratoga. It has been transformed into a quarantine shed here on several lovely acres along the river. A huge thank you to Scott Maguire for taking 2 days to put it together. Agway of Ballston Spa gave a discount on the stall mats for the floor and the NY State DOT gave us asphalt milling that made a great stone base to set the entire thing on. In the spring it will be enclosed. There is a barn on the property but it must be reworked. It's slow going but it's going.
The last full size horse from Double L is Angel the mustang. She is 28 and being boarded at a lovely spot in her retirement right now. I am paying for this monthly as well as providing her grain, and other regular care. Farrier, shots, wormer, teeth, etc. All the normal stuff. Ruby the mini is graciously being cared for at 4J in Argyle. I drop off things to help there when I can. Colleen Steidle and her family have been a complete blessing and gift and I will never be able to repay the kindnesses shown by this family. A few of you still send a Holiday Card For Horses card with a gift tucked inside to help with this. If you sent a card this year and it was returned to you, I am so sorry.
( My ex-husband is to blame and hopefully Santa fills all his stocking with coal!) The post office has remedied the situation this week.
Cards to help with horse care can be sent to
Double L
c/o 20 River Rd
Greenwich, NY 12809

( Checks should be made out to Double L Equine Rescue and not to me personally please)

I still collect cans and bottles to help as well. Now I use the Clynk system at Hannaford. So much easier! If you are local and have several bags to donate I might be able to pick them up. If you'd like me to send you tags for the bags I can mail them to you and you just scan the tag and drop the bag at Hannaford. Easy easy!
