Wizard - foaled in
April at Ozland.
|
Located in North Central Arkansas, at the foot of
the Ozarks, we are dedicated to saving horses from
starvation and abuse, and buy horses from
sales that would otherwise go to slaughter. We will
take in any unwanted horse, including race horses in
danger of being put down. It is also our goal to rescue
and place as many PMU foals as possible with whatever
funds we can get. It costs between $500 and $800 for
each foal rescued.

OZLAND
HORSE RESCUE
We are here to take in any abused, neglected, or just plain old
horse that needs our loving care. If we can rehabilitate them,
they are carefully adopted out to new homes. The new
"parents" must fill out an adoption form stating that
they will provide proper and loving care for their new charge,
and we DO make home visits on a regular basis to make sure it is
done properly. If they are unable to be useful in any way, then
they are provided with a proper retirement home to the end of
their days. We make sure those are happy days. We also use
donations to save as many from "kill" buyers as
possible. This takes a lot because kill prices are up due to the
European horsemeat market. We need your help on this one.
Thousands of horses go to slaughter every week in this country.

TINY
TIMBERS HORSE RESCUE
We are a privately
funded horse rescue. Our mission is to save as
many horses as we can from abuse and neglect, and to
provide a home to all equines that need one! We
aim to educate the public on proper horse care and
issues involving equines.

Every year thousands of
equines are euthanized simply because their owners have decided
the horse is no longer useful, maybe its due to the horse's age,
physical problems or the owner is no longer able to deal with
the problems that come with older equines or equines with
medical conditions. The reasons are unlimited. We at Tiny Timbers
would like to offer these owners a humane alternative. If you
have a horse like this or know someone who does, think of us and
give that horse a second chance. We will provide a good loving
home with all their special needs being met until the end of
their lives.
If you have an old friend, companion, or
"equine child" you no longer can keep for whatever
reason, think of donating your equine to Tiny Timbers Horse
Rescue. We can guarantee your horse medical care, food, shelter
and a loving home for the rest of their lives.

Slaughter Bill |

ANIMAL
ADVOCATES DEFEAT TEXAS BILL TO LEGALIZE HORSE SLAUGHTER INDUSTRY
Animal advocates have defeated multiple attempts to legalize
the Texas horse slaughter industry. Of
course, the battle is not yet over in Texas. Despite
efforts by District Attorneys to prosecute the two slaughter
houses (Beltex and Dallas Crown) under state law, the plants
continue to operate under a court-granted injunction. The case
now rests with a federal judge who must determine if the
District Attorneys have the authority to prosecute (the
slaughter houses argue that federal law - which allows horse
slaughter - supersedes Texas law).
Texas
is home to the two remaining horse slaughter houses in the
United States. Both are foreign owned, and the meat is shipped
to Europe and Asia where it is considered a delicacy.
The
U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics show that in the U.S.
last year 42,312 equines were slaughtered at foreign-owned
slaughterhouses for consumption abroad. Tens of thousands more
were shipped live to Canada for slaughter there.

a Career as an Equine
Veterinarian
From
world-class equine athletes to a child’s prized pony, equine
veterinarians ensure the health of a variety of horse breeds
involved in a broad range of disciplines. With nearly 7 million
horses in the United States and just as many enthusiasts, the
need for quality health care for the horse has never been
stronger. It is anticipated that more equine veterinarians than
ever before will be needed in the coming years to provide the
care that owners desire for their horses as well as to continue
the tremendous advances in equine research.
