It's with a heavy heart, we want to share the news of our sweet Marvin's passing. Marvin's journey at Central PA Horse Rescue began in January 2018 with his friends Dusty and Carmella. Shortly after, he found a home with his soon-to-be best friend Triton. After a few years, Marvin started losing weight and both boys were returned to the Rescue. Despite Marvin's health challenges, his spirits remained high. He was fiercely protective of his food, showing his old man teeth to the minis when they got too close. He despised fly spray but adored carrots and peppermints and he never shied away from expressing his opinion when he felt you were taking too long to give them to him. He enjoyed being clipped in the summer and being brushed. He hated having to take medicine from a syringe but he knew when it was in his food so that's the only way to get him to take it. He was a very smart boy who will forever be missed by so many of us here. Marvin is now resting in peace by Lucky and Liz and watching over all of us still here at the Rescue. Goodbye sweet Marvin, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

"Sadly missed along life's way, quietly remembered every day. No longer in our life to share, but in our hearts, you're always there” — Unknown.

Exciting News!!

We are thrilled to announce that Sarah has adopted Fire & Mandy!

Sarah has volunteered at Central PA Horse Rescue for the past 2 1/2 years, but none of the horses have captured her heart like these two. It was clear to everyone that these 3 shared a special bond. We couldn't be more happy for Fire, Mandy, and Sarah.

Congratulations on this wonderful new chapter!

In the world of animal rescue, saying goodbye before we are ready is one of the hardest parts. July's Horse of the Month is a tribute to Liz, an unforgettable soul who graced Central PA Horse Rescue. Liz arrived in May 2017, and her untamed spirit led to her being compared to a wild banshee. Ron saw the diamond in the rough and welcomed Liz into his heart in October 2017. What followed was a heartfelt journey where Liz transformed Ron into a cowboy and ultimately led to over 100 adoptions. Aging gracefully, Liz left this world on July 1st, but her fiery spirit will forever live on at Central PA Horse Rescue. Please honor Liz and make a donation in her memory to Central PA Horse Rescue to help us continue saving horses like her.

Jake is our Horse of the Month for June, and what a journey this wonderful boy has been on! Despite his gentle nature, Jake has faced some twists and turns in finding his forever home. This sweet Quarter Horse gelding, who will turn 18 this year, came to the Rescue in early November 2018 as an owner surrender due to unforeseen circumstances. Jake was adopted by the end of the same month only to return in September 2020. Jake was adopted once more in December 2020 only to be returned to the Rescue again in May 2024. Jake will now be a permanent resident at the Rescue. He will be loved and cared for by our wonderful volunteers. Age has brought on some limitations and health issues for this sweet boy, but we are committed to ensuring he is comfortable and happy. Jake is settling in well since returning to us. He has made new friends and found comfort with old friends. While we dream of forever homes for each horse, life's unpredictability means we will always be a safe haven, standing by every equine we save, offering them a place and love, no matter the twists their journey might take.
Jake has been diagnosed with Cushing’s… A medication that cost $2.50 a day… He has also been getting an arthritis medication that cost a dollar a day… All of this is on top of the normal $300 to $400 a month just to feed… not including Farrier every six weeks for special shoes that he needs for his front 2 hooves that have severe side bone as well as yearly Vaccines and dental and any other unforeseen expenses…
Please consider helping to support Jake to help take care of his medical needs now that he is a lifer and 100% expense for the founders of Central Pa Horse Rescue…
Please consider donating to centralPAhorserescue.org today to help us continue the lifetime care of Jake…

We are thrilled to share the exciting news of our newest addition to the Central PA Horse Rescue family - Storm! Our phones have been ringing non-stop with desperate calls from horse owners seeking to surrender their animals. The number of calls was overwhelming, but unfortunately, we could not accommodate every request. Within our means, we strive to provide the best possible care for all horses in need.

Storm, however, faced unique circumstances that compelled us to intervene and ensure she received the tender care she deserved. It is truly heart-wrenching to think of Storm enduring the harsh elements without any form of shelter. She spent her days in a round pen, exposed to the recent snowfall and heavy rain. Denied access to hay and clean water, she urgently needed rescue. The rescue of Storm serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for increased funding and volunteers to expand our rescue efforts.

While celebrating Storm's rescue, we must also acknowledge that the rescue of each horse requires significant resources. To provide a lifeline to horses like Storm, we urge you to support our cause financially and through volunteerism. Together, we can save more horses and provide them with the care and compassion they need to survive and thrive. Please join us in welcoming Storm to our rescue family and help us make a profound difference in the lives of these magnificent creatures.

It's hard to believe that this year will be over in a few short days. Looking back on 2023, Central PA Horse Rescue has taken in 10 new horses—2 were rescued from deplorable conditions, and the other 8 were owner surrenders. Amidst the triumph, we also faced loss. We said goodbye to our sweet Thunder and two goats—Jack and Andy—who left a void that can never be filled.

Despite the trials and tribulations, CPHR remains dedicated to every horse we save. We currently have 32 residents at our Rescue today—many of whom were previously adopted but had to be returned through no fault of their own. Many of the horses are old and unrideable when they return to us. They require medication, extra love, and care until their very last days—which would not be possible without our community's incredible support and generosity.

As we approach the end of the year, we humbly ask for your assistance in continuing to save and provide for America's horses. Can you find it in your heart to make a tax-deductible donation? Every dollar you give goes directly to the horses we care for. Together, we can ensure that they receive the care they deserve.

Hi Everyone! I'm Ollie! I just celebrated my 2nd birthday, and the humans are telling me I have to start earning my keep. I would rather make a mess than clean up the mess, so I've devised a plan. If I can get enough people to attend the New Volunteer Orientation this Saturday at 9 am, I think the humans will see that there are better people for the job. This way, I can get back to grazing and annoying my brothers. Together, we can show the humans that other people are better volunteers than me. Click the link below to sign up and save me from the human chores.

Congratulations Dutch & Lucky! We are overjoyed to share that one of our incredible volunteers has opened her heart and welcomed these sweet boys into her family. The adoption took place in August, marking the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for Dutch and Lucky. It's truly heartwarming to witness this act of compassion and empathy. Adopting a horse comes with many responsibilities and preparations, so the boys continued living at the Rescue while their new family prepared for their arrival. Every detail was carefully arranged at their new home to make Dutch and Lucky feel right at home. We admire the dedication and thoughtfulness shown by their new family. The love and happiness they will share fills us with hope and joy. We cannot wait to witness the journey of love and growth that Dutch and Lucky will embark on with their new family.

We were blown away by the incredible kindness and generosity displayed by the Lowes employees during their time with us. Our main goal was to build a separate feed/medicine room away from the barn, and their progress was overwhelming. These amazing individuals selflessly volunteered their time to kickstart the construction of our new room. They helped out with so many other tasks as well. They painted run-ins and fences, installed lights, cleared dead trees and weeds, and cleaned up the cemetery. Our nonprofit organization had been trying to tackle these tasks for a while, so the dedication and commitment shown by every Lowes employee was truly heartwarming. We also formed some incredible new friendships through this extraordinary community effort. We are truly grateful for this experience
