Giving hope to those who need it the most.
Saving horses from the slaughter auctions is an expensive undertaking. Every horse we save needs veterinary care, farrier care, food, shelter, and training to prepare them for their new home. Will you help us give hope when all hope seems to be lost?
Every year, thousands of American equines are shipped across our borders to Mexico and Canada to be slaughtered for their meat. Many of these horses come from low-end livestock auctions (slaughter auctions) where they are purchased by the killbuyers by the dozens. No matter their age, breed, training, or condition, they bid on them until the cost exceeds what they will get for them, pound for pound, at the border. Owners who do not truly care about their horse or do not know about killbuyers, will send their horse to the auction where nearly 80% of all horses are purchased by killbuyers. Horses of all kinds are crammed into tiny pens together with no thought for their safety. Pony Tales attends these auctions and outbids the kilbuyers on as many horses as we have the funds for. We then provide them with all necessary cares, including veterinary and farrier care, food, shelter, and training. If a horse is suffering irreparable injury or illness, we will help them move on to greener pastures. It costs us approximately $1,000 - $1500 to rescue a horse from the auction, transport it to our shelter, provide veterinary and farrier care, provide food, shelter and training to prepare them for their new homes. Without you, we cannot save any of them. Will you help us save a horse today? Please, Give Now.
Whether the horse enters our gates from a slaughter auction, an owner surrender, or because of law enforcement cases of neglect and/or abandonment, each horse receives all cares as well as safety at our shelter for as much time as they need to be ready for a new home. As a full circle of life shelter, we will never turn a horse away regardless of age, breed, training, or circumstances. While most rescues are "full" unless a highly adoptable horse needs help, we will take in any horse at any time and give that second chance to all horses who are not suffering irreparable damage. Your support ensures that we will be able to continue to offer that second chance to ANY horse in need at ANY time. Will you help us give them a second chance that so many others refuse? Please. Give Now!
Since our humble beginnings in 2014,we have helped more than 900 equines in need.Your support makes it all possible!
