Jasper is retired in his forever home now 💕💕

PER is proud to announce that we have a new mascot! Jasper is a beautiful blue bay roan shetland pony. He will accompany PER at most events and hopefully be an attraction for equine lovers! He seems docile enough to be the perfect gentleman. In the next few weeks, we will get to know him and he will learn to trust us. If all works out, we hope to take him to Tractor Supply on Sept. 29th for their Pet Event. We will keep you posted. PER would like to thank Rose LaBean for donating Jasper. It was hard for her to say goodbye, but she knows he will be safe and happy as he begins his new adventure!

This was an awesome day ❤️❤️

Over twenty volunteers came out to Panhandle Equine Rescue to help with many projects including fence line clearing, setting posts for Beau’s new paddock and cross fencing the big pasture. PER is working towards being able to house more horses, which means more lives can be saved! Big thanks go out to all who participated! Many of the volunteers were from the Avionics Department at NAS. Angela Senna posted a flyer at the base and managed to recruit a hard working team of twelve. Others also came out to assist including Jamie Ward who used his tractor to dig post holes. Pam Perry’s brother in law, Pete Cranford also brought his tractor out to do additional clearing of roots and stumps from the south side of the property, so paddocks can be redesigned, which will allow space for another horse. Molly Edwards brought out a delicious pound cake to serve at mid-morning that was donated by one of her friends. Pam prepared Chicken Alfredo and yummy brownies for lunch. Her sister Lisa Cranford bought pizza for the servicemen and women as a final treat before they returned to base that evening. Warren and Mimi Debroux donated to cover the portable restroom and also removed several stumps to offload in their 70+ acres of woods. The military crew donated post hole diggers and loppers. The Ronald McDonald House donated several t-shirts so the volunteers could change into something dry and clean if they needed to. It was an honor and privilege to work with these special volunteers and it is a day that will never be forgotten, I’m sure, by all who were there.

Houdo and River’s rescue in 2012 😔

On August 10th, 2012 seven horses were seized by Escambia County Animal Control and the Sheriff’s Department from a property in Bellview, which is located in Pensacola, FL. PER was also at the scene and photographed some of the horses, which were living in horrible conditions. We initially started this case in 2005, when living conditions were so bad, that all animals including horses, cows and goats had to be removed and relocated until the property dried out and the dangerous debris was removed. After a couple of years, the horses were brought back to the property, only to have the conditions deteriorate once again. Finally, all of the horses were seized and taken to a safe and dry location. This time, it was worse than before because some of the horses’ body weight were at an all time low, even his prized TWH stallions, which were always his priority. They were very thin and standing in deep manure and muck. With all the rain we had, the property was flooded once again and four mares struggled through the mud not being able to find a dry spot. One mare was suffering from severe sweet itch and had a baseball bat for a tail. Hazardous debris once again was scattered everywhere and things had gone back to even worse than before, when he had 18 horses and a few cows and goats on the property. Samuel Calvin Reuben has been charged with animal cruelty and his arraignment is set for Sept. 6th. The custody hearing is set for Sept. 5th. If custody is granted, we are hoping to be able to find good homes for them.

This morning a tree fell on our neighbors property. Before it even hit the ground, the horses reacted. Animal survival instincts are amazing! 👍

Another great rescue 👏👏👏

A horse was found by her owner trapped in a pit of mud in rural Boulder County on Thursday afternoon, and after hours of work, crews were able to safely pull the mare to solid ground.

Two Stripes Gets A New Foster Home!

Today we delivered Two Stripes to his new foster home. Thanks to Larry and Ruth of McDavid, FL. for providing him a place to stay.

Two Stripes is a special little guy; not big in stature but he has a huge heart. We're sure he will do well as he begins another new adventure.

We would also like to thank Larry for servicing our vehicle while we were there! He was so nice to make sure our trip home would be a safe one!

Today we would like to recognize PER rescue, Ebony! She has served as a companion for many lonely horses over the years. Sadly, she was never adopted, but always returned when her task was done. She was so good at acclimating to new environments and pasture mates. She was a complete lady and seemed to know what her job was. Now, at age 29, Ebony is in sanctuary at our facility. We are so proud of this magnificent mare! 💕💕
