Each of the "Lucky 5" came from a terrible traders property and were in poor condition. Loaded with parasites and terribly frightened they were taken into our rescue to end their uncertain futures.
Every horse taken in by Heartland is completely Vetted including Vaccines, Deworming, Teeth Floating, and Gelding if necessary. They also all are updated with farrier care. In this case we also have 2 ladies which are getting bloodwork to determine if they are bred and expecting. As you can imagine these services are expensive. Everything is done up front before we even consider adopting them out, or having them trained to prepare for adoption.
Jessie and Archie both needed to be gelded as both were still young in tact boys. Archie is a year old, and Jessie is 18 months in age.
Emma and Diana are both upper teens (16 and 18) and were in need of pregnancy tests as well to determine if they were bred before our rescue took them into our care.
Sadly poor Poppy is still at the training center trying to gain enough courage to trust humans so that all her vetting can be completed.
We can't save these horses without the help and support from our followers. Each horse deserves a 2nd chance that we can provide. If you aren't able to donate, please share their stories.
We thank you so much for supporting our rescue and our efforts.
