Spirit worked his entire life for humans, pulling,dragging, lending his body for the work of man.
Then in the time his body failed, coming down with a diagnosis of Stringhault, Spirit was tossed from auction to auction until he found himself in the hands of a slaughterhouse, the journey causing him to lose weight, his mane tangled, his feet overgrown, bones showing.
Man failed him.
This is the story of many of the horses that come to Mad Hatter Farms.
If you have read the story of Black Beauty, this is the very true story of many many horses and livestock, but many don't have that happy ending like Ginger and Black Beauty did.
Sadly, many DIE at the auction before even making it out.
As we continue to say yes and try to help horses like Spirit, we are pulled in this financial obligation not just in helping them but also creating a SAFE environment for them.
Thats where we need YOUR help.
We have a small barn that needs SO much help to be considered truly safe for our rescues as well as clearing more of our 25 acres/removing trees, putting more safe fencing up, more shelters, more space for horses like Spirit.
Can YOU help us?
Can you help Spirit and horses like him?
