FOSTER HORSES: PSEC is always open to taking in horses who are in need of a home due to owners inability to feed, care, afford, or need for the horse. Our program allows children to come to the barn to help care for the horses, and learn about proper horse care, nutrition, management, and finding proper homes for them. Children learn all aspects of horse ownership, as well as the mass responsibility and cost it takes to own one. Horses that are given to PSEC will be worked with by the children and then resold. The money that is obtained by the horses will then go towords paying for medical and nutritional care for the Rescue cases we take in every year, as well as also help pay for Summer Camp fees for some children who could not afford it otherwise. All horses will be sold with contracts stating they cannot be resold at auction, or be sold to anyone intending on going to the stockyards. Homes will be screened to ensure the best future possible for the horses. Foster horses will not be allowed to be sold for racing unless the past owner agrees to those terms. If you are interested in surrendering a horse to PSEC to place into the program, please feel free to call us!
RESCUES:
Every year PSEC opens it doors to several horses and ponies that are in desperate need of nutritional care as well as love and attention. A majority of the horses we take in are severely underweight, or have career ending injuries. A few were given to the facility by owners who got in over their heads and are trying to do the right thing by giving the horse to people who can care for it properly.
Once the horses have gained a proper amount of weight, and are trained we sell the horses in order to pay and feed for another that we will bring in.
Every year the children who ride at PSEC help put on a fund raiser garage sale where the money from the sale helps to pay for feeding and care on these animals. Last year our sale raised $1400!
Here are a few of the most recent horses we have brought into the facility. We will update their stories with updates as soon as we can!
