Huge Rescue Operation

Continue to Main Pae

July 1, 2009 started like any other day. HECTIC! As I sat down to read my emails for the day I was shocked at what I would read - AGAIN!

12 miniature horses in Florida needing immediate rescue. American Humane had emailed me and asked how I felt about taking in 12 severely neglected minis. Without hesitation, I knew we had to help. After several phone calls, we devised a plan.

Our transporter, Richie Bairdi, coincidentally lived only 10 miles from these horses located in Florida and although it seems he is NEVER home, it turned out something was meant to be because he was home and ready to come my way. I took it as a sign that not only was he home, coming here, but 10 miles away!

The tipster got a vet out to give vaccinations, worm and check the horses. All was set for a few days later. These minis are nothing but skin and bones, with horrible teeth and some have very bad foundered feet. Two had foals and all are weak and emaciated, lice infested and have parasite infestation. This will take many months of rehab but it is summer here in North Dakota and we are ready. These poor minis had no shelter from the sweltering Florida summer heat and 2 inches of algae on top of their water. They were not being fed but a handful of grain and maybe moldy hay or no hay at all - we are unsure. One can barely eat or chew due to it’s terrible teeth problems.

The Arrival

Check back soon for more information about this rescue and photos of the minis' arrival.

This incredible rescue would not have been possible
without the help of so many wonderful people.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to the following:

• American Humane who considered us for the rescue of these minis.
• My WONDERFUL transporter and friend, Richie Bairdi, with Rocking-A-Transport. If it had not been for Richie, these little ones may have had to wait a long time to get moved. Richie also helped evaluate them for travel. He is a wonderful caring person who helps us so much at Triple H. He is simply the best!!
• Dr. Shannon Kennedy, who raced out to perform coggins testing, give vaccinations and wormer so the horses could be moved immediately off the property and into safety. It was a long trip and at the spur of the moment. We appreciate your efforts and caring.

They are all wonderful people and have worked so hard on this. Without people and organizations like their's, these minis would not have made it. As you can see, it takes a lot of people to save an animal.

Thank you in advance for any size donation you can make to help us care for these minis. Donations can be made via PayPal on our Donations Page
