Stormy loving the dusting of snow we got yesterday! 🐎❄️☃️
The Pack! A taste of what we’re in for. My little Jack Russell and our big black Great Dane mix getting to know the new guy “Trek” , a skinny brown 3 legged 8 month old who has no idea he only has 3 legs.
Summer buddies made a song about STORMY! Such an amazing group of girls!
Jazmine says hot days are for bobbling for apples!
Jazmine had some fun this morning!
Horsin' around is one of our favorite things to do. If you want to come horse around with these boys, make sure you sign up for our Spring Break Program! One spot left in the PM session! https://ushorsewelfare.org/youthbarnprograms
Letting the boys burn off some energy this morning. The darker horse is our retired racer Whopper! #ushwrbeau #ushwrwhopper
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This year, for Giving Tuesday, we are raising money to buy hay for the next year. Check out this incredible video from Dorena Atkins about the work we do at the rescue, and the impact our horses have on the community.
1 bale of hay costs us about $10 and would last 1 of our horses about 2 days. We have 12 horses. Please consider donating to our fundraiser over the holiday season to keep our horses happy and healthy. Stay tuned for how you can donate, or visit our website to donate at any time.

Say hello to the newest USHWR family member!!!! That beautiful black mare is Kola, a 7 year old QH.
Recently a nearby police department asked us to take in a horse that they were seizing. We sadly have no room at the farm currently so we embarked on a hunt for a foster nearby. It all takes work and time to pull the pieces together…but today we finally had all those pieces together! After much work .s AND STRESS, we got the horse to load and have delivered her safely to her new temporary home… hoping to bring her here soon.
This horse has been alone for several years… she now has friends!.. next, she needs training! Please consider making a small monthly donation to help us continue our work, and care and train for these horses.
Water trough, Neti pot, swimming pool...choose your own adventure! #ijustfilledthat #riellybeingrude #hydrationstation #ushwr #ushorsewelfareandrescue #endhorseslaughter #savethemall #warmbloodsofinstagram

There’s something about cleaning hooves and sweeping barn aisles that little kids go crazy for. Wonder if they clean up their toys at home so meticulously? #horsegrooming #kidlife #cleansweep
