One cool horse
Theresa Gray sent us this great photo and information:
Nuisance, a horse who resides at Horse Feathers Equine Rescue in Guthrie, Oklahoma cools off in the recent hot weather by playing in the hose. Nuisance is a member of the Horse Feathers Kids Team, a group of horses that are afforded life long sanctuary at the rescue in order to assist with the education and training of children learning how to safely interact with and care for horses. It is a service provided to the community by the rescue in the hopes of building responsible horse owners of tomorrow. He and his buddy Woodrow, were donated to the rescue after his former owners learned that a third herd mate, Lily, a pregnant mare, had been rescued from slaughter after the three were donated to a boys ranch, and Lily was subsequently sent to auction, due to soundness issues. Today, all three, and Lily’s foal, Goldie, live happily at the Horse Feathers, thanks to their former owner’s intervention, and the availability of a safe haven for them. Horse Feathers is a 501c3 N on Profit Organization, operating solely on donations from the public, and private grants to provide care to the horses, and to fund the programs that they operate. Donations to the organization are tax deductible, and are used exclusively for the horses and the rescue. All staff is volunteer, and there are no positions that are compensated financially.
