Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue, Inc - Horse Heroes at Work

Wild Heart is pleased to feature an amazing foundation, "Blaze's Tribute Equine Rescue, Inc” in this month’s kid’s club newsletter. They are truly heroes in the equine community, and we thank them for all of their work in saving so many horses in need. Since December 2001, they have rescued 135 horses, and already one hundred seventeen have been adopted! You can see the remaining horses available for adoption on their Rescued Horses page. Below is a story on one of the very many horses that have saved and information on how you can help them save more horses like Blue in the future. Hats off to them!

Blues story:

"Blue came into our rescue program on August 19, 2005. Blue is a 5 year old, Gray, Thoroughbred Gelding. Blue was starved and abandoned by his previous owner. We do not have all the details, but we do know that he had some angels watching over him, because he was found. Blue has wounds all over his body from head to toe. He had become so weak that he would get down and then thrash and injure himself trying to get back to his feet. What we currently know is that this beautiful boy was a previous racehorse. His previous owner was deported back to Mexico and the horse was left in a stall to starve to death. Fortunately, he was found before it was too late and he is now on the road to recovery. This baby is going to need a lot of TLC and plenty of good nutrition and vitamins in order for him to build his strength back up. He has shown signs of Colic and we have been keeping a constant eye on him, he is still pretty weak and his teeth are in bad shape leaving him with several sores in his mouth. He is the gentlest baby and is so patient with me while I clean and treat his wounds. He is getting several very small feedings a day and seems to have a good amount of spirit left. Blue's story sounds very much like one of our previous rescue's named Tiny. Of course, he made a full recovery and is living the life of Riley in Kansas. We will pray for the same results for Blue. He deserves so much more than what he has received and we will do everything possible for this sweet boy to recover."
