Chester
Chester came from a horrible domestic violence situation: when his owner
became angry at his wife, he beat Chester, her pony, to cause her
pain. We were told that he wanted to "show her what he could do to
her". He beat Chester so often and so hard, Chester's retinas
became detached - he is almost completely blind. The man also broke
Chester's jaw and left his teeth mangled.
Your
gift
sponsorship would help us pay for his
veterinary care.

Bessie
Bessie had given birth about every 9 months for 8 years. She was considered a "spent milker" meaning, the dairy farmer who owned her thought she wasn't' giving enough milk (100 lbs a day) to warrant keeping. So she was sent for slaughter.
Milk cows are kept in a constant state of pregnancy, with no rest, to give the vast quantities of milk the consuming public demands. This is why they look the way they do - walking bones. You'd expect to find this in a third-world country, but it's every-day business at dairy farms in the U.S.
We brought Bessie to Pasado's Safe Haven, where she'll will live out her days.
She's already put on about 50 pounds and looks SO good!
Bessie, left, the day
we rescued her. She was skin and bone. But you should see her now! |

Goldie
This beautiful
and lovely lady is seeking her forever home. She was saved from a
life of breeding and now roams the pastures with her friend Wings.
Goldie is
approximately 25-28 years old. Her back is severely swayed -
a genetic trait- and is not a riding horse. This palomino mare is
very healthy for her age. She does have a lemon sized mass in her
thyroid region that is benign.
Do you have a pasture for Goldie to call home? If so, contact us
here.
