Name: Tinkerbelle
Breed: Appaloosa/Pony Cross
Birth Year: 2004?
Gender: Mare
Color: Sorrel with Black and White Spots
Horse Info: Tinkerbelle, Tink for short, is one of our newest rescues taken in 12-31-11. She is currently staying in one of the Sanctuary's foster homes with another horse, Ash, taken in at the same time. She has been seen by OSU's Equine team and is doing great. Her foster parents say she is very respectful in hand and well mannered. She has a nice thick wooly coat making it hard to determine her exact coloring, but we think she is sorrel with black and white spots. Once her quarantine period is complete, we will begin the evaluation process and get her ready for a new forever home!

Name: Koty
Breed: Unknown until body condition improves
Birth Year: 2005?
Gender: Mare
Color: Bay with a Star
Horse Info: Koty is one of our newest rescues taken in 12-19-11. She arrived at our receiving center with another horse, Honey. She was seen the next day by OSU's Equine team and given a body condition score of 2.5; 9 being severely obese and 1 being completely emaciated. She was severely covered in mud, matted and lost a good portion of her mane. Both horses had to be put on a strict eating schedule and be monitored closely for any symptoms of re-feeding syndrome. Since then her hair has started growing back and she is allowed access to hay 24 hours a day. She is still a little skittish but is slowly starting to trust a select few humans. Once her rehabilitation/quarantine period is complete, we will begin the evaluation process and get her ready for a new forever home!

Name: Peanut
Breed: Pony
Birth Year: 2009
Gender: Colt
Color: Sorrel with a Star
Horse Info: Peanut is one of our newest rescues taken in 12-31-11. He is currently staying in one of the Sanctuary's foster homes. OSU's Equine team has determined he is a crypt orchid, meaning one or both testes have not descended into the scrotum, making the gelding process slightly more difficult. However, OSU is confident they will be able to successfully geld Peanut and we hope to schedule this procedure in February of 2012. His foster parents say he is well mannered and have already begun doing some ground work. Once his quarantine period is complete, we will begin the evaluation process and get him ready for a new forever home!

The Unwanted Horse Issue
Every year, thousands of horses are considered to be unwanted. These horses may find themselves neglected and suffering for various reasons, such as the horse is old, sick, injured, dangerous, owner has no use for the horse, or owner is experiencing financial hardship. No matter what the reason, the truth is that every day there is a horse in need of help. Currently, the problem of the unwanted horse is still a big issue, even though many organizations are trying to make a change. A few lucky horses are rescued by humane societies or animal rescues and given a second chance at life. Unfortunately, the amount of unwanted horses is too great of a number for organizations to support each year, with many of these horses ending up in slaughterhouses in Mexico and Canada.
