Kentucky has a wonderful Arabian rescue organization called KARE, Inc.,
Kentuckiana Arabian Rescue, Inc. It has a non-profit status and is run by
Tonya McGlothin, who has also done some distance riding. Check out their
website at: http://members.aol.com/ladyhawk55/page/kare.htm
Tonya does a wonderful job with her rescues... even goes to the sales and
rescues horses who would otherwise go to the killers.

Donations can even be made at the website through PayPal!

The sad thing is that none of the breed organizations have a rescue set up
like they have for dogs.  I know it is harder to deal with horses but there
are a lot of good horses going to slaughter.  Too bad there isn't some
rescue resources for Arabs, it would help a little.

Barb Peck asks:

------Why would an 8 year old sound Arab be on the killer truck?Are there
THAT many extra Arabs in the area?


Check the tier.org website under horses in need.  You'll see a few 7 or 8
year old arabs in local So. Cal. feedlots who appear to be perfectly sound
and are headed for slaughter unless they're rescued.
$550 per horse is all it takes.....and one can be yours.
These are just the tip of the ice berg.
A very sad situation, indeed....
If I only had a ranch with about 20 acres.....   >sigh<

Bitsy's a 'rescue', btw.  Not in the truest sense as I got her from a guy
who
really hated her (deemed her 'unrideable') and was in the process of 'just
getting rid of her'.
I've no doubt, however, that she most likely would have ended up in a feed
lot......and she's a wonderful, beautiful. really loving, little Arab mare.
