Realistic Rescue Podcast - The truth about horse slaughter

(No picture, just sound)

This is tough to watch but this is reality. For all the jerks out there who think horses don’t go to slaughter - you are a big part of the problem.

This is why we do what we do with our Direct Ship Slaughterbound Horse page. We try to get them seen one last time.

You can’t save them all. But we help as many as we can. We are a small family run place and need more people seeing our group page and the horses we post.
Unfortunately there are way more fake kill pens than legit ones like us and there is a lot of fraudulent shady things going on in all but a very few kill pens and a lot of false information being circulated on social media. We fight an uphill battle but we could help more horses if more people saw what we were doing and knew firsthand how honest we are.

Our first podcast coming up hopefully today if I have time to record it is about horse slaughter.

Excellent documentary showing the harsh reality for horses in North America. 😰 Filmed at the Billings, Montana sale yard.

Follow a healthy, friendly, 4 year old appy gelding, as he seeks out human contact while running through the system after being dumped in the “loose horse” pen by his owner, to his final demise on a kill buyer’s truck to Bouvry Exports in Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦

Don’t watch unless you’re prepared to cry. 😩😭😭😭😭

NOTE: This was filmed in 2015, when close to 200,000 US horses were shipped to slaughter. Today that number is closer to 20,000.

There has been ZERO increase in starvation or horse abandonment, so where are all those horses going now who aren’t being slaughtered?

The answer is, they’re being absorbed into the system, as the remaining 20,000 will be when slaughter is shut down completely.

Next time a pro-slaughter person claims their big concern is starvation, remind them of this.

CORRECTION on original text. It was the owner of a different horse (same outcome) who “cried all the way home.” The owner of the appy believed someone would buy his horse, being young and quite flashy. Which further goes to show the truth of this industry - no horse is safe. In fact the healthier and younger the horse, the more at risk they are.

New group of direct ship horses are here - mostly drafts and some young horses.

Hackney on direct ship page

15 yo Paso Fino gelding. 14 hands. This horse is so much fun. He’s my kids favorite of all on the farm. He’s not for a total beginner but he’s not difficult either. He’s happiest in a bitless bridle. He’s great in the ring and out on trails. He’ll lead or follow. He’s a point and shoot type of ride and has no soundness or maintenance issues. This boy is one of the best and a real life unicorn. He’s not keen on being sprayed with the hose but that’s about it. Three-zero-zero-zero

Trot sets at camp today

Here’s a large and a medium - both camp ponies that are available now 👀

Daisy over fences

15 yo pinto pony mare. 12.1 hands. Rides and drives. She was pulling a buggy for a long time but is very well broke to ride. She walks trots and canters easily and is great in a group or by herself, in a ring or in the open. She’ll jump all the jumps in the ring or on the cross country course. She’s been on trails and out with the hounds. Nothing bothers her. She has excellent ground manners and is quiet to be led, groomed and tacked up. Anyone can handle her. Good for farrier. We’ve used her for pony club and 4H. She’s the best pony. Her super low price is one five zero zero and it’s going up the longer she’s here.

20 yo hackney mare. 12.1 hands. Rides excellent also drives. Schooling courses in the ring and out. Hack great as well. Goes better in a bitless bridle but can also go in a snaffle. Very sweet and easy to handle on the ground. She’s been here for a few months and doing lessons, pony club and 4H. Two-four-zero-zero

Gaited Trail Horse Deluxe! 15 yo Spotted Saddle Horse mare. 15.2 hands and chunky. This is a fantastic horse that is suitable for any level rider. Excellent ground manners and is an easy keeper. 100% sound and No vices. Two-five-zero-zero

19 yo hackney gelding. 12 hands. Rides and drives. Excellent small pony and the happiest little soul. Good ground manners and zero soundness issues. Goes out in company and barefoot is fine with him too. And he absolutely adores all the donkeys! Two two five zero
