WHISPERING WINDS EQUINE RESCUE
Website: www.whisperingwindsequinerescue.com/
What We Do
Although my husband and I have been rescuing horses on a small scale for over 20 years, Whispering Winds Ranch was established in 2001 and began working closely with law enforcement, BLM, and local vets to foster equine. Specializing in wild horses and severely abused equine, we provide a safe environment for those that have endured starvation, neglect and physical abuse. Each animal receives medical attention and daily positive human contact. We strive to rehabilitate each horse in the hopes that we can locate responsible, caring and loving homes. For those that are unable to be adopted they will live out the remainder of their lives at the Whispering Winds Ranch. Our goal is to give each horse the opportunity at a second chance at life, never having to endure starvation, neglect or abuse again.
We do this because of our love of these magnificent animals. We are in the process of filing for our 501c3, non-profit status so that we can expand our facilities to better care for those who have had little or no care.
So many of the horses that come to our rescue are the product of poor training and ignorance rather than cruelty. Many of them come around quickly through the gentle touch and love of our volunteers. We work at reprogramming the negative with positive. During rehabilitation we work to be sure that the horse handles safely. Before they are placed for adoption all horses must be able to tie safely, lead well, stand for farrier work and grooming, and trailer. Ongoing gentling and training continues until the horses are adopted out.
We are projecting an expansion for 2008, where we will be able to give more equines a safe, permanent home. If you would like to participate in this project, please contact us. Donations are always needed and welcomed.
