Gail Garrett, great gal.

You can get on TIER's mailing list, and they update at least a couple 
times a month about the latest horses needing rescue.  Horses rescued 
end up in homes all over the country.

A couple of years ago a guy with terminal cancer dumped his three 
horses at a local feedlot, all good Arabians.  We heard about it 
(Barb, was that through ridecamp, you gotta see this kid...) and 
helped the breeder of one of them buy back the mare.  She was lame at 
the time, completely sound after a few months with shoes on, and 2 
months ago through TIER.  She delivered a well-conformed big colt by 
Remington Steele++ who will turn out to be the breeder's replacement 
herd sire and future endurance horse.  :-)

You can support TIER through purchases made through 
http://www.igive.com, which features major retailers.

I bought a papered CMK/Polish mare through AHRN at 15, she had been 
roped and tripped by the charros, had lots of issues (all overcom 
since) but boy what a trot.  She went on to do one 50 (EHSC) and a 
bunch of 25s, tough as nails, is 21 now and happy to be just a trail 
horse.
