CHRN is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to keeping horses out of the slaughter pipeline. We try to reach horses before they end up at auction, so take relinquishments and offer a no questions asked buy out program state wide. Our central facility is located in Rush, however we have fosters state wide! We regularly assist local law enforcement, as well as buying slaughter bound horses from auction. Our community outreach programs include castration and euthanasia clinics.

Trim completed!

*Cinnamon doesn't know how to walk just yet with her new toesies, she is still sedated and she will be sore for a bit. This is just stage one, she has lots more coming in her next trims. We can't do too much too soon*

Xrays look good! Trimming starts NOW!

Today is vet day and we will have some updates after that, but the biggest news so far is Sargent Muffins is on his way to Colorado!

Thank you Horse Plus Humane Society for working with us to get this old gentleman here for some R & R! 💕

Sargent Muffins will be Colorado bound soon and we're still short on covering his fees. Anyone feeling a soft spot to donate for a handsome old Gent that needs to get to Colorado to escape the heat and humidity? We are so excited to see him again!

So far everyone has been handling this heat wave well except Red. Red is one of our permanent residents of Linda's Pasture at The Dodge Ranch and is 27 years young. He's had persistent mild colic symptoms since yesterday so our vet opted for fluids on top of our standard protocol. We still have motility and he's eating a little so hopefully he can snap back without too much trouble!

WE ARE SO EXCITED! While we were in Tennessee at Horse Plus Humane Society my whole crew fell madly in love with a very charming old man that came in for their buyout. He was thin and clearly cushings but he was still as perky and pesky as he could be. The girls decided to submit the name Sargent Muffins (because cute old men need adorable names) and it won the vote. I extended that we would love to let him come to Colorado and to Linda's Pasture as Tennessee heat, humidity and lush grass is not always a good fit for horses with his health issues. The HPHS Vet Dr Lydia and our Dr Alyssa have been conversing back and forth for some time and it was finally decided that Sargent Muffins would come to CHRN!

Sierra Ridge Equine Transport has graciously offered to haul him at a discount, and HPHS is putting $250 to his transfer costs, but now we need to cover the rest! We were lucky to have a hauler we can trust with this type of horse who will need the extra TLC, and Sierra always goes that extra mile for us. He will be headed for Colorado Monday while we are picking up the foundered mini.

This is a rare situation, we have not ever offered to take in a rehab case from HPHS and I'm honored they consider us so capable.

Goal $850

-HPHS Contribution $250

I've finally updated all of our Wish Lists (a day late for wishlist Wednesday). The biggest ask we currently have is for a Mini Split for the office! We are starting to COOK on these hot days and summer is just starting. If you ever wanted to help make a huge impact for our daily work, this is it! I know it's expensive, we just can't swing it with the other building and repair expenses at this point. We have tons of stuff on the lists though, so please check them out! Fly boots, snacks for our summer time kid crew, and fly traps are REALLLLLLY helpful right now!

URGENT BUYOUT REQUEST

Mini horse with "long feet", very little info
Owner wants $500 to keep him from the auction. This is not the time to argue semantics of our buy out program. Maybe they would get that at sale, maybe less. I firmly believe it's worth it to not have this poor thing run through a sale. This pony needs vetted and trimmed ASAP!

Our buy out funds for June are allocated. We limit 5 buy outs or $1000 max per month. We have until Tuesday to fund this additional buy out.

*Please remember our buy out is no questions asked for a reason. I want owners to be willing to come to us without fear if they find themselves in these situations*

Wooly Bear's big day!

Wooly was aged at 25 and diagnosed with cushings (we will confirm with bloodwork but started meds already) and severe arthritis in one hock. We suspect there are other issues at play as well but we will start step by step. First, treat her for the worst lice infestation we've had in a LONG time. Second she got clipped and bathed, then another round of lice treatment. Today she got trimmed and has started previcox. Hoping the ulcer treatment and starting meds gets her feeling a bit better soon!
