There are two horses in desperate need of homes, they have been assisted by Mattie’s Legacy Fund, but the barn manager decided they needed to leave now, instead of in two months, as we were told!

Mattie’s Legacy’s Bridge The Gap Fund has paid for their Coggins, shots, vet…we were planning to place them, but not with such short notice and now we need to find them homes immediately!

We are looking for a home or even foster care for Belle and Cloud, an 8 year old gorgeous Dark Bay TB mare and a 25 year old flea bitten grey Arabian gelding, respectively. Below is the email info from owner:

Belle

Belle is an 8 year old thoroughbred mare. She stands 15.3H last time measured. Belle has been ridden English and has the smoothest gates i have ridden.I would consider her slightly green broke. She would excel in dressage and with little training would be a great show horse. She is a sweet horse.

Cloud

Cloud is a 25 year old Arabian. He is 15.1H and flea-bitten gray. He loads, ties, and clips. He will pretty much do anything you ask if he trusts you. He is a great trail horse and will go any where. Cloud is a big sweetheart. Almost anyone can ride him on trails.”

They are located 30 minutes North of Harrisburg PA.

Background (Preamble):
A MAN has allegedly shot a horse with a crossbow then kicked it to the ground before using his mobile phone to film it dying on a property in Western Australia’s Goldfields.

A 30-year-old man from Norseman, about 190km south of Kalgoorlie, allegedly killed the horse near the town on August 1, police spokeswoman Ros Weatherall said.

August 1 is the day acknowledged as the birthday of all horses.

The man was charged with cruelty to animals and failing to ensure the safekeeping of a firearm and ammunition. He was also charged with the possession of unlicensed ammunition.

Police allege the man found a group of horses about 7.30am that day and shot two arrows from a large hunting bow, at one of horses from a distance of about ten metres.

“The horse, which was in pain and shock, received substantial wounds from being shot,” Ms Weatherall said.

“The man then kicked the horse with significant force to force it to the ground and filmed the horse suffering and dying.” ……… Read More
