Posted on March 30, 2011 by Sue Steiner in Articles, Rescue or Rehab Tips, SugarcreekI adopted a pony from what I thought was a rescue. I quickly found out this mare has issues– pretty severe issues- with my male farrier. I was sharing with a rescue group my dilemma and have decided to make this discussion more public to start a discussion about horse sales and slaughter. This is [...]

Save a Face
Posted on May 9, 2010 by Sue Steiner in other ArtI wrote a blog entry yesterday that has helped formulate how I would like to use this blog. I wrote about getting caught up in the beautiful, sweet faces of some rescue horses that didn’t get saved.

First Ride and the little Rewards of Rescue
Posted on March 20, 2010 by Sue Steiner in UncategorizedMy plan for Rhythm up to now was to just get her acclimated and relaxed in her new home.
