~What Hooves of Glory stands for~
About
Hooves of Glory is formed out of a passion to assist, prevent, and aid rehabilitation for equines who currently are in and are at risk of dire circumstances.
To provide support for the warriors who are striving everyday to fight against the atrocities horses suffer in the auctions/sales, pens, slaughter pipeline, breeder cast aways and more.
It is the honorable mission to give them what they are in need of most and to help find appropriate placement for the remainder of each individuals life.
Mission
The mission of Hooves of Glory is primarily to offer supportive assistance to other active equine rescue organizations as they battle the overwhelming issue of horses in need.
Hooves of Glory Mission is to effectively aid active rescues that rehabilitate, train and find homes for horses in transition.
Help rehabilitated horses find properly fitting homes for each individuals needs.
Help New England horses in need so they do not find their way into the pipeline.
Educate others in and outside of the horse community.
We wish to create a fund to give support to local horse owners in need of emergency assistance directly related to their Equine companions.
To provide private owners with training assistance if they cannot afford the enormous expense of working with a trainer on top of the daily costly of horse ownership. This assistance is paired with connecting to local rescues who may be able to aid in the rehoming of a horse who is not well matched to its current home and/or situation.
Vision
Hooves of Glory's vision is to ensure every horse that is saved and each horse that is touched, never is faced with the horrors they had been pulled out of ever again.
To offer assistance in training, branding, rehabilitation and thorough evaluations. Giving these horses a voice with regular microchipping and recognizable branding combined. To build an easily accessible history file for each horse, papers or no papers.
When rescues are working to save so many horses, there are unfortunately limits, many times very young, extremely emaciated, severely injured, sick and elderly horses are left behind and die in suffering. We want to help the rescues who are trying to choose who to haul out, even if it means it is known the horse will be euthanized right away.
For this to become a reality, we must all stand together as one unit and say "NO MORE" this is enough! These majestic beings deserve so much more!
*H.O.M.E *
Hooves of Glory is working to launch the H.O.M.E program ~ "Honoring our Majestic Equines".
You can learn more about this program on the H.O.M.E program page. The goal of this program is to provide a long term safety net for every horse touched by the Grants available for their relief. The Grants will be available to both rescue organizations and qualifying private horse owners according to availability of funds and qualification of recipients.
In a world with so many expenses and difficulties, the unfortunate reality is that the majority of horses "saved" go right back into the rotten coffin they were pulled out of. This happens for a culmination of reasons, anywhere from behavioral issues, physical problems, lack of known history, lack of resources to owners and organizations offering them up for adoption.
While trying to quickly bring horses in and out can seem to help with the problem... what happens with these horses once they have been freed?
There are warriors out there everyday, slogging through filthy sale pens, spending resources, hauling horses out and to their prospective placements, temporary, or long term. Sitting with them as they battle illnesses, injuries, emaciated mares giving birth, elderly horses who should have been laid to rest. They need to be able to reach for a resource that will aid them in their ultimate mission, to find these horses their safe landing. Whether this be for the actual bail required to purchase their freedom, the quarantine, hauling, initial veterinary care, then... once they are evaluated, either putting them to rest, or ascertaining what the next step for life placement may be.
The process cannot be as simple as pulling horses out and finding them homes as quickly as possible... that in some cases can completely defeat the purpose. These horses need to be fully evaluated, provided with enough time to decompress both physically and emotionally. They must be properly matched to their next stage in life, or the outcome will be either returning to the original rescuer, being abandoned at quarantine, or going on to an even worse situation all over again.
