Alone I dare not climb; Why !
More people own horses today than at any other
time in American history. Today domestic horses are found
throughout the world, with a total population estimated at 60
million. Many are lucky and are owned by loving individuals or
families, but huge numbers are not. Hundreds of horses stand
forgotten and uncared for in fields and barns all over our 50
states, facing years of hunger, thirst, parasite infestation, and
illness. Hundreds more end up in auction barns or inhumane
slaughter houses. Nobody wants them anymore. Not all are old,
sick or "used up". Many are young, healthy animals that
didn't meet the needs or expectations of the people who owned
them.
How ! My
husband Bill and I came face to face with abuse and neglect while looking
for trail horses for his newly opened Jones Riding Academy in
1999. It was heartbreaking to see these once beautiful animals
subjected to so much torment by cowardly insensitive
owners. Bill purchased some of these horses. I watched
and learned while my husband's skilled hands healed them,
transforming these pitiful creatures of abuse into beautiful
horses. He still owns them today and they reward him
for his kindness by giving 100% in everything he asks
of them. A year later, he
purchased a young gelding we named Blaze , that would start the wheels
turning in W.H.I.N.N.Y.'s direction. It was while caring for
Blaze that I realized that there was a need in this area for a
facility that would take in horses in need, rehabilitate them,
and find them homes where they could live out the rest of their
lives in dignity
.When ! In the summer of 2002, W.H.I.N.N.Y. acquired its first horse . Through monies donated by friends, family and animal lovers, the construction of a barn began. Jones Riding Academy held a wiener roast in the fall of 2002 to introduce W.H.I.N.N.Y. and to gain community support for its cause. The money raised during the event was donated to W.H.I.N.N.Y. to fund more construction of the barn. The outpouring of support was enough to convince me that W.H.I.N.N.Y. could be an asset to the community. Where ! . W.H.I.N.N.Y. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located on 92+ acres in Perry County, Ohio, approximately 28 miles southwest of Zanesville, Ohio, and 60 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio. What ! W.H.I.N.N.Y. is an acronym for " Why horses in need...need you". We offer refuge, rehabilitation and adoption to horses in need.
