Today 8 precious souls arrived in the North Carolina mountains from Bowie, TX. All 8 had confirmed ship dates. Most of the babies are unhandled and pretty unsure of humans, in general. The 2 oldest have riding experience, and we can’t wait to see what they know. For now, they will all spend the next month in quarantine.

A few days ago I posted pictures of the 3 coming yearlings from the Texas kill pen who will be arriving at my farm Thursday along with 4 others. Today I wanted to share pictures of the two, beautiful, coming 2 yr old fillies. We will post pictures of the 4 and 6 year old geldings tomorrow.

We have been overjoyed with the financial support of this huge rescue. I am happy to say over half of the funds needed to buy and transport them from Texas has been raised. We still need to raise $3,500. Thanks so much if you have already donated and if you haven’t, but would like to,here is the PayPal link.

Let’s keep this going. We are about half way to raising enough to get them out of Texas
And to North Carolina for quarantine.
I know it is a tough time
Of year but any help is appreciated.

I thought I would share some still pictures I took from the kill pen video of the 3 coming yearlings who will arrive this Thursday. Unfortunately, especially this time of year, babies who are not halter broke have very little chance of finding a home. Thanks to so many of you who have donated those who will donate these babies, will now have a soft landing, and a chance for a good life. We will keep you up-to-date as things progress. Thanks again for all your support and merry Christmas.

Here’s an update on the horses we are rescuing from slaughter.
One of the 4 yr old geldings was bought before I could confirm we would take him, which is wonderful. It means he now has a safe landing and allowed us to fill his place with the cutest 6 yr old gelding, 14 hands and quiet! As we were scrolling through the horses still at risk and yesterday was their ship date to slaughter we saw no one had stepped up to help a cute 2 yr old dun fully and an adorable chestnut long weakling. We talked about it and decided we had to help, so all 7 horses will be arriving at my farm on Thursday. This time of year is especially difficult to find people willing to save horses as everyone is so busy with the holidays. Our wonderful shipper, Bessie Bell Horse Transport, has offered to help out with the last baby as a donation. This is a huge undertaking and we know it’s a tough time for folks. Please, if there’s anyway you can send any amount of a donation it would be greatly appreciated. We thank all of you who have donated so far, but we have a lot more to raise to help these horses. Our donation link is on our website: reinrescue.org

So excited to meet these new faces.

Winter Solstice Miracle! These 5 are coming to NC after Christmas. Being held at Bowie Livestock, they were all due to ship to Mexico today. We need help posting their bail and getting them to NC.

In October 2022, our first group of rescues came from Bowie. These horses showed what quality, kind animals could come from these situations. Now that the rescue is official, we are so excited to help more horses in need.

Wonderful two days with Bruce Anderson

We had a wonderful session with Bruce Anderson over the weekend. It went so well that Bravo and Bruce had to take a nap. Bravo was trying to get Bruce back up to play again, Bravo has been a long project, but so worth it. He is changing every day in leaps and bounds.

Martha Kemmer’s bodywork sessions always relax our horses. Bravo, a TB pulled from Bowie last year and owned by REIN, especially loves when she comes to visit.

Today, Bravo, a thoroughbred I personally rescued from a kill pen last year and who has now been donated to Rescuing Equines in Need, had a jump school. All I can say is WOWWW!
He was donated to the rescue because he had sustained quite a bit of trauma in his young life and needed more time to decompress. It’s horses like this that make it worth while and your donations are what make that possible!!

We are so excited to finally be up and going with our new non-profit; Rescuing Equines in Need. Here’s some recent pictures of Bruce Anderson working at the farm with Bravo and Chico exploring a laundry room and enjoying a good scratch. Please keep us in mind as your donations will help us continue to help rescue more horses. Rewriting their stories four hooves at a time. 🥰

*DID YOU KNOW?*

The USDA documented that 92.3 % of horses sent to slaughter are in good condition and are able to live out a productive life.

A little about our beginnings:

The concept of REIN started from a single facebook post. Our founder Joy Baker came across a heartfelt plea on facebook on behalf of a herd of feral horses that had ended up at a kill pen in Bowie, Texas. They had only days left to live before being euthanized. Joy felt the call to save these horses and immediately sprang into action. She rallied her amazing support system and animal network, and managed to raise funds, find homes and arrange transport for the rest to her farm in North Carolina.

Every one of the horses she was able to save made the long trip safely, and were unloaded as the sun came up over their new safe haven home. (as shown in this post)

It took months of love, care, patience and training for the horses to fully begin to trust again, but through the efforts of Joy and her incredible team, every one of them have now been given a new chance at a wonderful life. These were always incredible animals who just needed to be given an opportunity to learn to trust, know love and in turn show their personalities and potential.

It was this journey that prompted the idea for REIN. We are now a fully registered charity - tax deductible! :) - and ready to rescue many more equines in need.

Come along on this wild ride with us!
