2 Incredible Stories

From the proud “parent’s” of Dusk……
Our story start’s seven years ago when our youngest son went off to college. He said, “Mom, you and Dad need to find a hobby that you both will enjoy”. Well, that was the best advice we ever have received. 

 

That week, I started volunteering at a local horse rescue.  It was there that we met our beloved “three boys”.  Ben, Tuskers’ and Sunny.  Ben , a standardbred,  Tuskers a draft/mix , and Sunny a shetland pony.  Each had a sad beginning but happy ending...

 Rummy

Sometimes Animals do Soothe the Soul

 

Our beloved Rummy has found a fantastic home with a great mom with a success story of her own. 

On June 25, 2005, TSgt Dana and her military working dog (MWD), Rex, were on patrol in Southwest Asia when her vehicle made contact with an improvised explosive device (IED).

She sustained serious injuries and was the most severely injured of the other passengers in the vehicle.

TSgt Dana asked the Air Force to approve her request for adoption of Rex who also was slightly injured while on patrol with her in Iraq.  Read more at http://www.afspaeagle.org/Proud_Warrior/PW_jamie_dana.htm


Casey

With Determination and the Right People - Some Hooves Can be Saved ...

 

In December 2007, Casey (Center City), an eight year old Standardbred gelding, who had been retired from racing in July, was placed with Sunshine Horses.  Soon after arriving, volunteers observed he appeared lame and, while picking his hoofs, noticed significant separation of his hoof walls in both front hoofs as well as his right rear hoof.  Dr. LaPoint, a veterinarian in the Syracuse area, was contacted by Sunshine's board to evaluate Casey and identify a treatment plan.  After Casey's examination, Dr. LaPoint confirmed that Casey had Laminitis with separation of the hoof wall on three hoofs.  It was then determined that the best course of action would be to transport Casey to Cornell University's Farrier program for treatment...

 Morendo Hanover

Received 3 Nominations for the

Rio Vista Award for Outstanding Animal Rescues

 

I have been asked to write the story about Morendo Hanover, a six year old brown Standardbred gelding.  He is well bred. His sire is Jate Lobell and he is out of an Albatross mare. A lot of hope went into that breeding cross. Morendo did race, but only 14 times. Those 14 races won him over 30,000. So when he raced, he raced with all his heart.  Read the whole story at Success Story - Morendo Hanover.doc
