W.H.I.N.N.Y. Horse Rescue

Sadly, equine abuse, neglect, illness, injuries and unnecessary death happen every day by selfish, uncaring owners who purposely deny their horses the proper care they so richly deserve. These owners, by far, are the worst perpetrators of abuse and neglect. These circumstances warrant immediate and lasting rescue measures and stricter laws to ensure that these perpetrators get back tenfold exactly what they gave out.
  Included among these perpetrators are equine trainers who use harmful, mean, and over-spirited measures to "train" horses. Unfortunately, horses abused in this manner do not always show physical signs of abuse. Only recorded evidence of the abusive training may prevent unknowing horse owners from hiring these so-called "trainers".
Older horses , incapable of doing the things they once did are rewarded for their many years of unquestioned loyalty by being taken to auction houses. They can still be a valuble companion , but their owners can't or won't make the extra effort to give the horse the special care appropriate to its age and condition. Many young, healthy horses that don't live up to their owners expectations, for whatever reason, end up here too. If these horses were all going to good homes, this scenario wouldn't have a sad ending. Killer buyers, men and women, sit in the bleachers and calculate profit per pound of horse flesh. They leave the auction houses with their trailers loaded. Cherished friends bound for an inhumane end by slaughter. Are their owners being realistic?  Do they actually care what its quality of life is likely to be? 
Sadly many horse owners fall on hard times and temporarily cannot provide adequate care for their horses. These unfortunate short-term circumstances do not constitute abuse and/or neglect, and do not mar their otherwise spotless record of horse care. But when the short term circumstances become long term, and the horse owner refuses to take appropriate measures to insure the safety and well being of their animals, for any reason, then technically, that horse owner has stepped over that fine line and becomes quilty of neglect themselves.
