Happened By Chance Horses Happened by Chance Horses Inc. Is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Be sure to follow us on Instagram

We are a 501 c3 registered non-profit horse rescue organization. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome neglected and abused horses. Horses at our rescue are often surrendered by their owners, but we also attend local auctions to intercept horses from Kill Buyers-- people who purchase horses to sell to slaughterhouses across the border for human consumption.

Sometimes you run out of real estate to stack your hay so you gotta go UP.

42 rounds today. We made it in 2 trips, using 3 trucks and trailers. Loaded, unloaded and stacked in about 3 hours. Thank you Glenn for the hay and the help today.

Happy Independence Day everyone.

Two of our most recent intakes, Oaklee and Daisy Mae. Both older ladies with a some sass and a will to survive.

Oaklee was an auction save and came to the rescue on 04.26.25. She’s 63-ish days in and is doing pretty dang good. A few more months of consistent feed and I believe we’ll have a whole new horse.

Daisy Mae came into the rescue on 05.22.25, less than a month ago and she is doing great as well.

Both will be seen by our vet in July. Oaklee to have a dental recheck. And Daisy for her first dental with us.

It’s always so hard when you see them everyday and you tell yourself, they are still thin. Then you go back to previous pictures. You had forgotten how truly poor they both were when they got here. We are making progress. We take our time and do our best to ensure we adjust them slowly and steadily to nutrition intake.

Keep healing ladies. ❤️

This one is going to hurt for a while. We lost an absolutely amazing horse to a strangulating lipoma. Versa was one of those “one of a kind” horses. She taught me a lot. She had a super kind heart and I am just going to miss her so much.

Run free beautiful Versa.

Today we re-opened our gates to our sweetest mare Geo. Her adopters situation changed and she needed to come back.

We’re here. We are ALWAYS here for our horses.

Welcome back Geo! 💕

The silliest boy at the rescue is this horse here, Doc. He came to us in June of 2022 as an emergency. His bail was paid and where he was supposed to be “safe” decided he wasn’t worthy of treatment for EPM and they did some pretty shady things to hide him in attempts to get rid of him.

Those folks who bailed him never gave in and never gave up and through the help of the rangers, Doc was found and I accepted him into our program where he has won the hearts of anyone he meets for the last 3 years.

We treated him and while he will never be perfect, he is happy and healthy.

We made it! Through the last round of farrier for this cycle. Two weeks off and we’ll start it all over again.

Thank you to VNA and Donna for your help today and always a big thanks to Oscar.

Two weeks off and we begin again the first Saturday in July.
