Western Montana Equine Rescue & Rehabilitation Inc. 501c3 non profit organization **Our online Adoption Application can be found at: http://www.wmerr.org/Application.pdf

ABOUT US:

First and foremost, we are about the horses/donkeys or mules. We are about understanding what each horse, donkey or mule has been through, and making every effort available to rehabilitate them, on an individual basis. Love, kindness, dietary needs, hoof care, veterinary care, training if necessary, and time. Time to heal, time to trust humans again, time to reveal who they are. OUR SER

VICES:

We try and determine the needs of the horse, donkey or mule owner if possible, to help enable them to keep their horse, donkey or mule. If that is not possible, then we will try to find a foster home, or re-home them to a permanent one. We offer assistance with hay, supplements, hoof care, veterinary care, and euthanasia. We are currently working on various workshops for educational purposes for the public.

I want you to know that it’s enough.

The little things you do.

They are effecting not just your world, they are effecting the whole world, and beyond.

The getting up. The walk to the barn. The care. The filling of water and the giving of hay and the loving interaction.

The trying and the trying again, the learning and the growing. The process. The constant letting go of who you were and stepping into who you are, on your way to who you will be. And helping others along the way to do the same.

All of this…it vibrates inward and outward, it calls and echoes and connects, rises and builds, through all of this life, through all the world, and through all of eternity. The way you care, connect, and interact with horses is seen and felt in ways that travel the world. Your hand rested on your horse’s withers in your backyard can be felt by someone in another place, in another time.

You have power that is always there and never leaves you, and the more you become keenly aware of it and deeply connect with it, the more the whole world feels it.

It’s all ticking the needle forward, bit-by-bit. The work of care and connection for you and your horse is not just for you, it’s for all the world. And the world is seeing and feeling the difference as horse slaughter numbers drastically go down and the number of horse rescue and sanctuary organizations strongly go up, and the amount of abuse decreases while an understanding of horses and their care increases.

Never forget that you play a part in this. And what you do in the barn and in your backyard with your horse, out there alone with them…what you feel and do and discover…it’s not just for you…

It’s for all of us.

We just want to remind people that old does not always mean skinny.

Indy is in his 30’s, and was able to get back to his ideal weight via soaked food as he has barely any chewing teeth.

We’ve been helping horses in need for over 15 years. Please keep WMERR in mind this coming , December 3rd, where your contribution will help provide for horses like Indy 😊

“Know that old gelding of yours? You know, the trusty gelding who taught you to ride. We all have one in our pasture. He was the first horse you trusted with your kids. Everything this horse has done has had a purpose behind it.

Now his joints are starting to show arthritis from all the learning you two did together. He probably has slowed down and need a little extra food. Your family is ready for something with a little more speed and he doesn’t fit the bill. So you convince yourself you are letting him go so he can help teach another child. In your mind, you see him happily trotting down the road with a sweet little girl on his back.

In reality, that little girl will ride and love him for a few years. However, she outgrows him. He’s even slower and she’s ready to run. Her family is not bonded with your horse like you were. They sell him to the inexperienced family down the road.

This family knows nothing about horses. They don’t know how to feed an aged horse. He looses weight. Soon it’s so bad they keep him in the back pasture where no one can see him.
Finally, they take him to a sale.

No one at the sale wants a neglected, aged horse. So he goes through the ring and sells for $400 to a killbuyer. The killpen is where I find him. I know nothing about his history and nothing about his health. All I can see is the wisdom and pain in his eyes. I take him home.

As much as I love what I do, I would love to never see one of these poor old guys again. It breaks my heart to know that this is the story of so many animals out there.

So please, please keep your aged horses. If you can no longer afford them, lease them to a friend or put them down. No one deserves for their life to end this way.”
