We're Back!!!

WELCOME!


   
Our main goals here are to give deserving horses second chances and to help find horse lovers a perfectly matched horse at an affordable price. We are very different from the everyday horse traders in countless ways. Some of the important ones being that we deal almost exclusively with horses that have been starved, neglected, and sometimes even abused or those that are bound for slaughter and have absolutely no business being in these situations.
   
 With the changes in horse law, the shutting down of the slaughter houses here in the US and the current economy, horses have it worse now than ever. Yes, I said worse. How you might ask? A lot of people not directly involved in the dirty little secrets of the horse business think that horses are no longer being slaughtered for human consumption and shipped overseas... well, the truth is, the only thing that changed when they passed the law to shut down the slaughter plants here is that they moved across the borders to Mexico and Canada. The problems here are not only that more horses have been shipped out of our country to these unregulated killer plants, but that there is no laws on how they treat and kill the horses that find themselves here. Horses are being slaughtered inhumanely and even being processed while still conscious and alive (don't believe me? Visit youtube.com and see how many videos you can watch about horse slaughter before getting sick). Slaughter is a terrible fact of the horse industry due to the over and uneducated breeding of excess  horses and lack of people being able to afford them in dips in our economy. Horses are often the first thing people look to sell when facing a hardship and need money. The easiest and quickest way to do this is usually to take the horse to an auction. Auctions are filled with killer buyers and worthless horse traders who beat, starve, and abuse their horses (not all horse traders are like this, but let's face it, the majority of them are). To them, the quickest way to make a horse sellable if it has any training issues or temperament problems is to beat it out of them rather than addressing the real problem. Feed is an expense that takes away from profit so many don't even feed the horses while they have them. The better traders that do feed and don't even bother trying to fix a horses problems usually just ship them off to the next sale or trade them with another trader. None of these circumstances is good for a horse.
   
We do understand we can't "save" every horse, but I personally don't see why we can't try to help as many as possible. Over the past several years, we have purchased horses from auctions to keep them from going to killer buyers or horse traders and have bought directly from killer buyers fixing to take a load to slaughter. Understanding we can't save them all, we pick what we feel to be the best horses we can based on temperaments, soundness, and training. Imagine your family horse being sold due to lack of money and excess in bills and it ending up with one of these traders or on a semi truck about to be shipped off to be killed.... these are the horses we try to save. In 99% of our cases. there is nothing at all wrong with the horses, they are generally sound, healthy and well broke. In the event a horse isn't sound and we know about it, so will you. If a horse isn't healthy and we know about it, we do our best to get them well before ever offering them to you. If the horse isn't safe or has some training issues that need addressed, we may chose to offer them at that time while we continue to work with them, but you will know everything we know about the horse. We don't hide anything to try to pass an imperfect horse off on you. To insure this and that you are getting the horse you think you are, we spend the time to get to know our horses. Another huge difference between us and the everyday horse trader. I have seen countless times on other websites where a trader has bought a horse at an auction at 10pm at night and within hours it is on their website advertising it for sale. In 2 hours, they know NOTHING about this horse other than color and gender and size. To them though, time is money which is why they are doing what they do...  our focus is the horse and bettering it's life, not making a quick buck here and there which inevitably ends in an unhappy and in some cases injured customer and a horse being passed back around and going back through another sale. We spend at least 2 weeks with every horse that comes on our property. Not only does this give any drugs the horse may have been given a chance to wear off where we can see the real horse, it gives us time to evaluate the horses in several areas such as training, temperament, health, and soundness. While the horses are with us, we "test' them in a variety of different situations and score each horse on how it does. Where the horse is lacking, we will work on it until the horse finds a new home. See our FAQ page for more info on the evaluations we put our horses through.
