December 11th, 2010

This was the start to a busy weekend! At one point, ten horses were in the arena, waiting for potential adopters to  meet them. Kassi, our trainer, had listed a number of our rescue horses on Dreamhorse and Craigslist. Although winter isn't the busiest time for adoptions, we managed to find homes for nine horses!

Amigo will be going to a wonderful home in Cottage Grove. For those of you who never met Amigo, he's a friendly appaloosa gelding who is trained to ride. We know he'll be a wonderful friend and riding partner for his new family!

Congratulations, Amigo!

Today was also a long day. Kassi, our trainer, was working horses from 7 am to 4 pm. Everyone did really well. It's amazing how nice and friendly the rescue horses are. Many of our residents come from abuse or neglect situations, or were intercepted before entering the slaughter pipeline. At Hytyme, they are able to become horses again and learn to trust people. It's extremely rewarding to see the transformations that occur when a horse gets proper care, attention, and training.
