I think we need more of this type of organization

Instead of filling our rescues with unwanted or uncared for horses I believe that this type of organization is more the way to go. They help provide short term care and education for those that may be ignorant to the finer aspects of horse care instead of just grabbing the horses and putting them in a rescue facility. They work with Animal Control and the Rescue organizations.

Interesting and good idea that would fit a lot of situations where the owners are either ignorant or just strapped financially and the greater good might be to help them along rather than take the horses.

I have not had a chance to read everything on the site but what I did read was valuable information that we may need to implement.
I do see a lot of new horse owners who run and buy their dream horse to find out that the dream horse is no dream but a mismatched nightmare, then where does this nightmare go??? Or the the careless breeders.
Again, I did not read the whole site. But feel we need a better solution for our equine partners.
