| Freedom Hill Horse Rescue, Inc. is an established 501(c)3 Public Charity Non-Profit Corporation that aids in rescuing abused, neglected, unwanted horses from their hostile and sometimes unlivable conditions. This organization is committed to providing a safe haven for as many of these horses we can reasonably house. These horses include Nurse Mare Foals, PMU foals, slaughter bound horses and horses at risk of going to auction. Our goal is to encourage the community to join us in our efforts as we educate them about horse care and community action. |

June 18th 2008 Big John passed on to The Rainbow Bridge. He was a big horse with a big heart that touched everyone that met him. In his prime he was public servant and he lived a long life full of ups and downs. He passed on with his adoptive family that loved him and held him to the end. Read his amazing story in horse stories. Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge... When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together... *click here to learn more about The Rainbow Bridge* Rescuers Rainbow Bridge |
Hidden Horses Few casual horse racing fans are aware that many former racing horses are slaughtered for profit. When a thoroughbred race horse reaches the end of its career or is simply no longer profitable on the track, it is often taken directly to auction and sold for meat. Because horse slaughter is no longer practiced in this country, these thoroughbreds are now being shipped by "killer buyers" to slaughterhouses abroad, which are frequently less regulated and less humane than former U.S. slaughterhouses. Correspondent Bernard Goldberg, who recently won the 2008 Sports Emmy(r) for Outstanding Sports Journalism for his 2007 REAL SPORTS story on the NFL concussion crisis, traces the disturbing journey many of these young and healthy horses take from the track, to auctions, to slaughterhouses, and finally to the plates of European and Japanese diners who pay top dollar for the delicacy.
