We are located in the mountains šŸ”ļø of Ellijay Ga I have had a dream of running a rescue since I was a little girl. Having a huge heart for animals is sometimes a curse, but I wouldnt change it for any

thing. My goal is to be able to provide love and care for all animals that come to our rescue. I also love golden retreivers and siamese cats. We have 4 goldens and 3 siamese mixed kitties.

LONG POST WITH LOTS OF INFO!

The rescues that are ready for adoption are:

Elian and Ivie (2 mini ponies) who we would like to be adopted together, but are open to splitting them up for the perfect home. They are roughly 6-7 years old and have lived together their entire life. They are super sweet, love to be groomed, good with kids and definitely pretty to look at in the pasture. They can be put with horses as they can definitely take care off themselves šŸ«£.

Swayze is a 10.3 hand hunter/jumper pony. He is only 6-7 years old and would excel with his own person. He is SUPER lovable, great with kids, stands for farrier, stands to be groomed/bathed and self loads onto the trailer. He had a 30 day refresher with a trainer as he hadnt been ridden in a few years. He can be a forward at times but is honest about it. Has been in a lesson program as well. He needs a child that has previously ridden. We do have a video of him at the trainers as well as lessons if you would like to see him. He has so much potential and would love to see him with his own child ā¤ļø.

Horses that will be ready for adoption in 3 months:

Tonto is a 4 year old black and white paint gelding. He is going to make an amazing horse. His training just recently started so we will see what discipline we feel he would be best at over the next 3 months. He is a beautiful mover and a beautiful horse šŸ˜!

Scout is a 9 year old paint mare who is absolutely gorgeous šŸ„°. She is Tontos momma. She had 3 rides on her previously, but needed to be restarted, so her training just started as well. We will see over the next 3 months which discipline she will be best suited for.

Indie is a 4 year old absolutely stunning appaloosa mare. Her training has not started yet, but will in the next month. I am super excited to see which direction this girl will go. She has so much potential. Her facial expressions will crack you up. She has the best mean girl face if youā€™re late with breakfast and dinner šŸ¤£.

Adopted rescues:

Atlas and Summer have been adopted by one of our amazing volunteers that absolutely loves them to pieces. They will be going to their new home in the next 3 months. Atlas will learn to ride and pull a cart šŸ˜Š!

Charlie is being adopted by an amazing woman who was one of the reasons we were able to rescue Charlie, Otis and Lettie. Charlie will be going to his home within the next month. Hes the sweetest boy šŸ„°!

Otis is pending by an amazing family that has gotten 2 donkeys from us previously. If they decide to adopt him, he will be leaving around Mothers Day. Hes going to be a hard one to let go. We have all fallen in love with him šŸ˜­.

Sanctuary rescues we have are Willow, Jasper, Rose, Molly, Zoe, George, Buddy, Jesse and possibly Lettie depending on if we can get her hooves corrected. Jesse needs a companion so we are ok with Lettie living the rest of her life here if her hooves cannot be fully corrected.

Once these horses have been adopted out, we will take in more rescues on a case by case basis. Iā€™d love to be able to replace each rescue that finds their forever home with a new rescue that deserves that same chance to have their forevers, but getting in donations in to help care for these rescues has been exhausting. Until we grow and start getting more funding, we wonā€™t be able to do that. We pay more than half of the operations of this rescue out of our own pockets and have sacrificed so much, but we cannot sustain doing this on a constant basis. We have to be able to live also at some point.

We will be doing fundraisers for each horse which will cover the cost of the rescue as well as 6 months of care for that rescue before we will agree to bring them to BHFERS. That way we have the funds in advance for their care. No this amount wonā€™t be small, but it guarantees that I wont feel like I have to beg weekly for donations. I hate that oart deeply. Iā€™d rather fill my posts with daily updates and videos on each horse we have and all the love and care they are receiving šŸ„°! This will limit the amount of horses we are able to save, but every horse saved is a life savedā€¦

We will grow and have more monthly donors eventually to be able to have a larger number of rescues here again and I am so excited for those days to come! To ALL of our supporters, WE APPRECIATE YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW and the successful rehabs that youve helped make possible, would not have happened if it wasnt for you!

šŸ”” EXCITING NEWS! We are getting more acreage cleared so we can have more pastures! This will be completed in the next 3 months! I cannot wait to be able to allow these horses more room to run around and pastures that we can rotate and allow grass to grow! We will also be adding a small arena!

Big things to come and Iā€™m so excited about our future, we just have to be smart in our decisions to ensure that future happens! Share our page with your friends, come to our events, volunteer to come out and help. These are all ways you can help make our rescue successful. These equines rely on all of us!!

$330 STILL NEEDED!

Happy Sunday! If you feel led to donate towards our weekly feed, below are the links! We try to get $650 in donations weekly to help towards the cost of care for the 19 rescues and sanctuary equines we have at BHFERS. We have until Monday evening to reach our goal.

We appreciate our community and those that understand we cant do this alone and to be able to continue doing what we do, we need your support. Rescues give equines a chance they never would have had and save so many from ending up at killpens or slaughter. They dont deserve that horrible death sentence.

Ways to help:

Share our page, like our page, volunteer to come out to feed, groom and love on these babies. It takes a village and helps us give every rescue here the care they deserve.

$205 recieved of $650 needed ā¤ļø

We are now at $5 Friday! If you can spare just $5 to help feed these animals would be a huge help!

We always cover what isnt received, but there will be a time we will no longer be able to take in animals in need if we dont have the donations for it. We have to be able to love a little ourselves at some point. We will do this as long as we are able to and hopefully years and years to come, but we have to grow and have to rely on our community to help us.

George and Otis got gelded yesterday! They have a minimum of 6 weeks before they can be with the ladies, but we will let them be together in a few weeks after we introduce them slowly to being together. This will at least give them a friend.

Charlie didnā€™t get gelded as his parts were still too little šŸ«£ and he kept sucking one of them back up. He did however get his booster vaccine.

Here are the vet bills. We were roughly $400 short in donations for, this so any amount you can donate would be extremely helpful. This takes away from our small emergency fund so we really need to get this replenished.

Thank you Kelly Flanagan for your awesomeness! šŸ˜Ž

EDITED:

Big Day Tuesday! We have around $600 that was donated towards gelding the boys, but we are going to need at least $800 more to get all 3 done. Castration is a little more than $500 per equine including tetanus shot.

If anyone would like to donate towards this, we would greatly appreciate it! Feel free to call Wayside and put money on our account instead of donating through the links below.

To see how far this girl has come inside and out is truly amazing.

We donā€™t know exactly what Willow went through before she got to BHFERS, but we do know it wasnā€™t good. She was more skin and bones, terrified and more dangerous than any horse Iā€™ve ever met. She had lost all trust in humans and would do anything to protect her baby Finny. She tried taking my head off many times, but I stood my ground. With patience, love, and understanding it needed to be her decision, she has become one of the most loved equines here at the farm.

She has learned to trust again and my promise to her is that she will never again be abused or let down by the hands of humans. She is one of our sanctuary horses and will live out her life here. She reminds me everyday of just how forgiving animals areā€¦
