...we are so sad to have lost the Belgian, but....glad that he didn't suffer all the way to Canada to be brutally slaughtered!!! He was so starved and weak that he probably would have gone down in the trailer and been trampled to death... ):

November '07...
The Pregnant Haflinger Mare...now safely fostered in MA...
And The Bucker, happy at his foster in Maine...
October '07...
The liver chestnut Morgan mare was euthanized, she was very sick and arthritic, and suffering. ): She was named "Hope". www.newengland
equinerescues.com
The chestnut gelding (on right) lost a LOT of weight while in the kill pen. His new name is "Bones", but he has gained weight back. He was either beaten, or kicked, in the face, breaking it, and causing blindness. He is a great little trail horse, but has extreme separation anxiety. He and Molly now live in a wonderful home in MA. (:
He is also happy to have ANGELs.
In addition, we pulled Cheryl's Mule, Lorraine's B&W colt, Brogan's TB, and Bonnie's Morgan mare.

July '07
Black Perch... ):
We are very saddened that the black Perch died over night, July 15th. We were REALLY looking forward to seeing him fat with nice smooth and rounded feet! But dying quietly in our care beats what Canada or Mexico would have had in store for him! Even just the trailer ride would have been horrible. We were lucky to have him and feed him for his last days. ):

ANSWER FOR THOSE WANTING TO KNOW WHERE THE HORSES WILL GO:
When is a Problem NOT a Problem?
I have great news for everyone concerned about an overage of horses if the ban on horse slaughter passes.
Sixth grade math has solved the "unwanted horse" problem!--The advocates of horse slaughter have been very emotional about their concern for unwanted horses and what our country will do about them if Congress passes a ban on horse slaughter. They usually use the figure of 100,000 horses per year as the number that will have to be absorbed by the marketplace. Even though that makes no sense, as it is merely the average number of horses currently slaughtered per year, let's use that figure anyway.
Using 6th grade math skills, start with the amount of 100K horses a year. Divide that figure by 12 to get the total of horses per month and the answer is 8,333 for the entire U.S. , or 167 horses per state. That amount doesn't sound so unmanageable does it?
Let's break it down even further. There are 3,066 counties in the U.S. , so each county would only have 2.7 horses a month to absorb. Anyone can see that this number of horses would not be a problem.
The USDA Says 92.3% of Slaughter Horses Are in Good Condition--You'll feel even better when you realize that 92.3 percent of horses arriving at slaughter plants in this country are in "good" condition, according to the US Department of Agriculture' s Guidelines for Handling and Transporting Equines to Slaughter.(1) They are not the skinny, old, and crippled horses that the slaughter plant supporters talk about. Instead, these are sound and healthy horses that would easily find good homes. That is exactly what happened when the slaughter rate dropped from over 348K butchered in 1989 to just over 43K in 2001. There were no television alerts, news stories, or any media coverage whatsoever about horses abandoned to starve in the fields and roads of America . Why—because it didn't happen. It didn't happen then and it won't happen now.
Only 2.5 "unwanted horses" Per Year in Each County in America --For the 7.7% that are not healthy, over 400 rescues nationwide stand by to rehabilitate donated horses. Or, veterinarians could humanely euthanize them if the owners choose that route. 7.7% of the horses slaughtered yearly amounts to only 7,700 horses per year for the entire country. How wonderful it is to realize that each county, on average, will have only 2.5 "unwanted horses" a year.
Economics 101: Less Than 1% of a Commodity is Statistically Insignificant- -Even the total of 100,000 horses slaughtered is less than 1% of the total U.S. horse population.( 2) Think about that for a minute. Less than 1% of any commodity is statistically insignificant and easily absorbed by the marketplace. Why, you may ask, are the slaughter supporters so emotional about this non-issue?

Horses know everybody stares at their ass when they're traveling, they just don't talk about it! We need trailering help in the New England area. (:
NEEDS A PERMANENT MOM!!...
Misty is available for adoption to an approved home, she has been through a LOT!
Misty’s Story...
Misty is a beautiful TB mare who raced as a youngster and did quite well. She then retired to the breeder's farm and became a broodmare for the next 10+ years. She was not ridden and didn't have a back up career. When they no longer had use for her they gave her away. This is where Twin Lights Farm comes in. We took her and her pasture mate, another older TB broodmare, in. The pasture mate was no longer breed-able and was placed in a good home and is now a beloved trail horse. This was also the plan for Misty.
She left Twin Lights Farm in May of 2007 on her way to what we thought was to be a new life of being a riding horse for a teenager in need of a horse. There was never any feedback from the people who took Misty.
On July 29, 2007, we received an e-mail from a stranger stating that they had seen Misty listed on a web site of horses at risk of going to slaughter... (http://www.ac4h.com/brokerownedhorses.htm ).
Misty was bought/rescued by NEER, and is now safely home again with Mary. She will be adopted out to a good home, with a contract.
Thallene Mist (aka Misty), 18 yrs old, Dk Bay tb mare, 16.3H, sound and sane, has no vices, no health issues, easy to handle, turns out with others, trailers easy, good for vet and farrier, not hot, but not a dead head either, stands well to be tacked up, lunges quietly, has been started under saddle but needs experienced rider to finish her training.
