This was last December pictured below. We lost 5 horses. This December we have lost 3 . Annie, Joker and Remi. Why don't we run out of tears? Why do we continue knowing there will be more heartache. ahead? Why? Because we have a mission and can't turn our backs on any animal suffering even if we also suffer, we go on. Thank you for your support. Dec 2022 SaveTheHorses has lost 5 horses in 15 days. It takes a toll on your heart. I know the reason I am here on Earth is to risk my heart but when it happens like this, it seems unbearable. First Bashert, aka Punkin Pie, was with us almost a year. She came from a kill pen. She was loved by everyone who met her and especially by her adopter, Dani. Next was Samson who came from a local family who couldn't keep him safe. Loved by, Kay, she adopted him over a year ago. Next Danny came from the Amish, old and used up. We had him in quarantine. The stress of auctions and much change made him very sick. Then Cypress Slew, loved and adopted 19 years ago by Pam crossed the over. Last was Diesel, loved and adopted by Heather 13 years ago joined the others at the Rainbow Bridge. Each of these horses were very special. They came into our lives for a reason. Some stayed long, some much shorter of a time but all were treasured. Now for we humans who are dealing with the loss. Trying to run past grief isn't working. We need to slow down and sit with each loss and grieve each horse. It just came so quickly, one after the other, we want to run from the pain. Grief is personal. It is the last thing we can give. There is a sacredness to the grief and tears. My heart hurts for all the humans involved. There are many people who knew these horses from being at the rescue and they also are feeling the sadness. The reality is we will grieve forever because love never ends. RIP Bashert, Samson, Danny, Slew and Diesel. Cheryl Flanagan  Horses need hay for various critical reasons, and donating to Save the Horses Hay Drive is a valuable way to support their well-being and the mission of this rescue organization.
Here's why hay is essential for horses and why people should consider donating to this cause:
Additionally, donating to this cause raises awareness about the importance of proper equine nutrition and the challenges faced by equine rescues like Save the Horses in securing these vital resources. It allows people to be part of a compassionate community that comes together to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these animals, giving them a chance at a better future. Visit our page to donate to the 2023 Hay Drive. https://savethehorses.org/hay-drive.html SaveTheHorses has been using our sling for many years. People sometimes don't call a veterinarian until it's too late. If we can get the horse up, it will stay up and get better. In Cherokee and Milton, GA we are lucky to have a Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue (TLAER) team through the Fire departments. However, most counties do not. And who do you call? We were working with SOS Horse Rescue and we came out to help this horse in Alto GA. Luckily, we found a tow truck willing to help us get the horse up. WHAT WE NEED What we need is people willing to take a class for becoming part of a TLAER team. We also need someone to write a grant so we can send people to the TLAER class in GA. We already have a Large Animal rescue truck. It needs to be totally road worthy, have insurance. and a few people with a CDL to drive it. You can make a difference in a horses life. This can be a life or death situation. If you are interested in helping in any way, email me, Cheryl, at [email protected] #WeAreRescue Cheryl Flanagan http://www.SaveTheHorses.org Save the Horses will once again produce our beautiful full color Rescue Calendar.
