| About Freedom Hill Horse Rescue |
| Freedom Hill Horse Rescue, Inc. was established by Melody Parrish, Chrystal Hill and Harry Hill as a Non-Profit Organization in late 2004. As awareness of the PMU, Nurse Mare Foal and Slaughter industry increased we realized we could use our experiences in the horse industry to help the cause for these abused horses as well as improving living conditions for other at risk horses and or small farm animals. Several farms are involved in these efforts collectively know as Freedom Hill Horse Rescue, Inc. Owings Manor Ct is a leased property that includes a three stall barn with 3 rolling acres and a round training pen. Whispering Woods is a small two stall barn with separate tack and feed rooms and board fencing. All new horses go through this barn. Horses can then be handled frequently and watched closely for any health issues to arise. Many of our horses are also kept in foster homes. If you are interested in fostering any of our horses please contact us via email. You will be responsible for caring for the horse as if it were your own and all expenses you incur will be considered a tax deductible donation to Freedom Hill. We have joined forces with rescues around the country and are members of the Horse RescueCoalition. We were featured as the cover story in The Bay Weekly, the Chesapeake region's independent newspaper, in November 2005. Click Here to read the full feature at Bay Weekly's Horse Rescuers. Our horses are rescued from neglect, abuse, slaughter, and from places that end up with unwanted horses and foals. Here are some reasons why so many horses and foals find their way to rescues like FHHR: 1) PMU Industry: Pregnant Mare Urine (PMU) provides hormones in medicine, but the foal is cast off... 2) Slaughter Industry : Europeans buy horsemeat for human consumption-- considered a delicacy -- which encourages the slaughter of over 90,000 horses per year. Horses are shipped across US borders to Mexico and Canada to meet a brutal end. 3) Surrender or Seizure: When owners can no longer care for their horses where do they go? The answers are all over this site -- in Adopted and Horse Stories, Available, New Arrivals . . . . 4) Nurse Mare Foals: Expensive brood mares do not nurse their own foals -- a nurse mare does, so the brood mare can be put back into the show ring. But what happens to the nurse mare's own foal? We hope that you find our website both informative and enjoyable. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time! We are always in need of donations and volunteers! |
