As someone who takes in rescue animals myself, I am a sucker for a good, heart-warming story of how someone came along to save an animal that someone else discarded, abused, neglected, or sent to the auction, etc.



Over the years, I have obtained a little family of animals that either came directly from a rescue organization, or just had a sob story that made me want to reach out and help them. They are my family, along with my husband. I couldn't imagine not having any of them. Even though they have been more challenging than buying an animal with less problems, I have learned more from them than I could have ever imagined. Some how, I think you even love them more because of all you have been through together.

They are the reasons for these websites, so I thought you might like to meet them.



"Que"

This is Que. He had a pretty rough life before I bought him. So, technically, I guess he may or may not be a rescue, but I think he is. To learn more about Que's story, please see his page on my Equine Therapy website by using this link:
Que's Story






"Traveller"

This is Traveller. He is my newest member of my family. This picture was taken of him at the farm where we bought him. He was soooo skinny. He looks much better now and I will have to get a picture of him looking pretty very soon. To learn more about Traveller's story, you can also read it on my Equine Therapy website by using this link: Traveller's Story




My Other Rescues:

These are my three Shelties - Teddy, Dusty, and Missy. The two boys came from the West Michigan Sheltie Rescue and Missy came from a breeder that many of the dogs at the rescue comes from (so they say that she is a rescue also). I won't go into all of their stories right now, but I will say that the 2 from the rescue actually have less problems than my little girl who came from the breeder. So, I guess that proves that being a rescue animal does not make them a bad animal.

I would LOVE you to send in your story to share with others about how you, or your rescue organization, helped to save one of our wonderful equine friends.


I know that sometimes the story does not have a happy ending. If you feel it is a story that needs to be told, please let me know. I would love to hear from you.

If your article is accepted to be added to the website, I will add your name, name of your organization, a link to your website (if you have one), etc.

Equine Education Connection is all about helping horses have a better quality of life. I hope that you will share your story with others. It might help people to understand just why we love horses as much as we do. Maybe it will help someone who is dealing with a difficult horse to understand what may happen to them if they give up.

If you would like to share a story, please contact me by using the email addrss below. I would love to hear from you.





Thank you for your contribution to helping horses. I am anxious to hear the wonderful stories that you all have to share.
