Great news from our EU campaign: Carrefour, the French multinational retail and wholesaling corporation which operates more than 13,800 stores, announced that it will no longer buy horse meat from South America. The decision, which will go into effect by the end of 2024- will include every store located in Belgium, Italy and France.

Since 2012, Animals’ Angels and our EU partner organizations (Animal Welfare Foundation, Gaia, Welfarm and others) have reported about the cruelty of the horse meat trade in the Americas and have urged politicians and importers to stop buying horse meat from businesses that do not care about animal welfare and traceability issues. Our investigations in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Argentina and Uruguay have shown over and over what horrors horses trapped in the slaughter pipeline go through. Carrefour’s decision is another milestone in the fight to end this atrocity for good.

Boone is happy to have a new pasture mate. Walburga, not so much. Both horses miss Dancer and Aria. Welcome to your new herd, Knook!

Happy Anniversary to us! Midnight's Promise formed 9 years ago today with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses from abuse, neglect, and the slaughter pipeline. Our inspiration comes from my rescue mare, Midnight Sun, who had been abused and neglected that I made the promise to always care for and to never abandon.

My whole hearted thanks go to all the individuals that have supported Midnight's Promise over these 9 years. This includes our donors, volunteers, professional partners, and the people in our community who have recognized our efforts and spread the word about the positive work we do.

Thank you everyone!

Today, we said farewell to our beloved Dancer. Dancer came into out care April 2021 after he was stranded at a quarantine facility when an adoption by another organization fell through. Dancer had scarring in all 4 legs from pin firing, (a barbaric and now out-lawed procedure in which burning hot rods or sulfuric acid is pushed through tendons to the membrane that covers the bone), scarring from pressure sores on his hips and shoulders, no upper teeth, and badly foundered hooves. We have always be in awe of his big heart and indomitable spirit that kept him going these years. We will miss seeing him racing his friends, Boone and Aria, up the long gravel drive to the barn at meal time and winning despite his ravaged condition. We have always known that Dancer was on the little time the universe was willing to grant him. Time started running out for him recently and we had to offer him the last kindness and not allow him to suffer. Many of the volunteers came to say goodbye to him these last few days. And several friends were there for his last moments to feed him apples, to give belly scratches, stroke his mane and to whisper words of love. Vaya Con Dios Dancer.

Little Tater Tot is learning to trust people. We can touch all over her body and pick up her hooves. There is also a prospective home in her very near future.

Aria was adopted today! I'd like to thank the many hands that helped transform Aria from the skinny, frightened mare that flew out of the trailer like a kite in a wind storm the day we rescued her from Tarheel Feedlot.
Our volunteers nursed her back to health and gave her the time she needed to recover from the trauma of the slaughter pipeline. Over the years, we have spent countless hours caring for her and helping her to learn all the skills a good horse needs. Several people have been interested in her over the years but we are careful about who we place horses with. Like most rescues, our adoption fees do not reflect the true value of the horse so we often attract people looking for "something cheap".

We are very glad that Aria has finally found a home. Unfortunately their pasture with the horse barn was infested with Army worms last Spring. Aria looked very distressed when we Ieft her there but she had a new round bale of hay and there is another pasture with lots of grass that the horses also use. Her new family is excited to have her and love her dearly all ready. It breaks my heart to let her go but I'm also glad she finally has a home.

I should have been running errands this morning but couldn't pass up last chance to ride Aria before she leaves for a new home.

Everyone at Midnight's Promise Equine Rescue is ok after the storm. Aria had a choke last night. It was a good thing I did a final check on the horses before leaving. We were able to administer first aid and clear it. The vet was relieved to cancel the emergency farm visit. We have had more than our normal share of incidents lately. Since July we've experienced 1 corneal ulcer, 2 abscesses. 1 colic, 2 chokes, and an allergic reaction to a vaccination. Facebook, Tik Tok. and social media are the last thing on my mind when I' m taking care of our horses so I'm really bad about getting photos to "create" social media content. However, we have saved thousands in vet costs by being vigilant and well-trained in first aid. I haven't given any classes in equine first aid since moving to Dan Ridge but I'm considering dojng so. If there is any interst in our Equine First Aid or Colic Clinic please let me know. Meanwhile, hope you enjoyed the video of our rowdy herd happily enjoying getting out of the barn.

Here's 1 minute and 53 seconds of equine therapy for your enjoyment. You're welcome!

Silly Boone. This game never gets old.

Debby is here. Stay safe.

Noon time showers to cool down the horses

Boone loves to roll after his evening shower.

Midnight trip to barn to put ointment in Dancer's eye. Dancer has an ulcer that must be treated 3-4 x a day. He's such a sweet, cooperative patient. He even meets me at the pasture gate every night for his medicine.

Thank you to Stacey Carter of Heart Centered Horsemanship for working with the horses and volunteers this morning. In the arena are Stacey and Boone, Carrie and Knook, and Stacey (a visitor from California) with Aria.

Boone and Dancer playing gelding games. Luckily, Dancer is wearing a new mask this summer so the velcro is still nice and sticky.

Our shy little pony, Tater Tot, and new-ish barn kitty, Pumpkin, enjoying some lush grass and hanging out with the human (me).

Putting up some hay a while ago. Love using the old hay elevator. Appreciate the help from friends.

Aria and the other horses love their afternoon showers though Aria prefers to drink hers.

So grateful for our farrier, Kathryn Nelson and our volunteers for helping on a blistering hot day. Take care of your farriers and help. We set fans in the shady part of the barn and provide cold drinks and Popsicles. Video of Blaze being trimmed.

Good morning. I've been off social media while dealing things going on with my mother's health issues for several weeks. Will catch you up in upcoming days with new arrivals and recent events. For now, I plan to take some horse advice from Journey and shake it off.
