tied in the back between a Standardbred and a Saddlebred who were each fighting over the top of him he stayed
calm and cool the entire time.... someone take this boy home please....
He is learning that not ALL people want to just use him, and that snacks are tasty. He is VERY fearful,
so we are working on that first. Stay tuned...
Unfortunately, Mario Hilario did not find Mike the Farrier to be cool enough, and therefore his feet
remain undone. Mike is CRUSHED! ):

It is with a sad heart that I tell you guys that Neyshar didnt make it. The vet did an exam and listened to his heart and lungs. He was in complete organ shut down and urinating brown. He was shocking and his gums were white. The vet said he was so emaciated that you could see his neck vertabre...and he had absolutely nothing in reserves to pull him thru even if we could get him up and he had a chance. Im so sorry everyone! It doesnt make it any better knowing that we worked so hard to save him...its just knowing we couldnt succeed! I will now focus my efforts on the other 4 who need us. They are all dolls and really well behaved. The Clyde is a bit hard to catch but Im sure once he realizes I drive the feedwagon he will be more accepting to me! Thank you all so much for all the well wishes, support and funds you so generously provide not only to my rescue but all the rest on this board. I can say as a rescuer, we are very lucky to have such a supportive group of wonderful, caring individuals and Im so proud to be part of your FOB family!

Wild Bill
Draft Horse Fostered from NEER
I am a member of New England Equine Rescues and have been for a few years. Beth of NEER told us that her local farm had an older Belgian gelding who was now alone because both of his mares had died of old age, and that they had contacted her, looking to place him. Beth asked if we would have interest in taking Bill in. We had lost our beloved draft, Jim, a couple of years before. We so loved & missed Jim. I wanted to help a draft in need. I knew my husband Dan would just die to have another draft in his life. I showed him his picture... of course he said what's wrong with him & how old is he. I have to admit that I lied... I told Dan he was 18, but Beth had said he was 20. I don't think there is much of a difference in 18 or 20, but it sounded better to Dan.
Bill arrived... Thanks to Bonnie of Derry, NH, that went to Beth's to pick him up and drove all the way back up here to Pike, NH. Bill loves having so many other horse buddies. Dan ground drives him from time to time, but has not hitched to the cart. He even rode him down the road & back.
We are proud to have Bill and are very happy that we were able to give him a forever home. Our local paper has printed this picture and another of Bill. He's famous now in these here parts...
The picture says it all.Linda Davis

Thank you AC4H.
3 pulled from the kill pen. November 06...
Before...
McDoogle...not too young, not too old... just 12. Very sweet!! 18H, lots of personality. Said to ride and drive, he has gone to live with Laurel, at the same farm as Bingham. (:
After...
Daisy, also very sweet, short and beefy! One eye is a little funny, but it does seem that she can see out of it. 3 years old. Not broke, and not good with her feet. Daisy has gone to Elaine's farm to be fostered. She loaded like a champ, and we hope she will learn to pick her feet up a little better while in Elaine's care. Elaine will be adopting... (:
After...
Bingham , Placed with Joy of IRIE. (: ...two and 1/2, handleable and sweet... (: He does have an ankle injury, we are hoping it is not too serious....and a parrot mouth, but it doesn't seem to effect him. Bingham is doing very well, getting along with everybody, and learning some good new things.
Before...
After...
Belle and Joe, two of the Plasma Belgians...
Belle, in CT with her knee lickers. (:
And Joe in MA...
We were sorry to have to euthanize the Belgian mare, saved by AC4H
and the FOBs... ): Her suspensory ligaments were too far gone, likely
genetic. We were advised by two farriers and Addy's vet that the kindest
thing would be to put her down. That it would cost a lot of money to even try to fix
her and there were no guarantees. ):
Thank you Addie for fostering her, and everybody for helping this mare to go
without fear and agony!!

Earless June '06...
The 2 y/o pony 'mare' who managed to NOT go on the truck to slaughter FIVE times!! We raised her $345. fee, and pulled her... (: Thank you EarLESS Fund people!!!
As soon as she got off the trailer, it was discovered that 'she' was a he!! He is a very sweet boy, young, QH?, and only a pony yet (in the 14H range). He would be a great pet, great around kids, and is said to be easy to work with.
His new name is... "A Boy Destined For Glory...Van Go" (: ...But 'Earless' kind of sticks.
Update January '07...
Unfortunately Earless had a sarcoid, romoved on the 12th...
Earless, now 'Copper' is now living with Nancy in NY, and is doing great!
This poor mare was standing in a round pen full of mud with only moldy hay to eat, the owner threatening to sell her directly to the meat man. She was under weight, and suffering terribly from CPL...
Gone to USERL in Indiana, she was tranqed and trimmed bald....it took 2 hours, 2 clippers and 3 blades!...
Their link www.userl.org
Here she is, 450 lbs heavier...and her legs are MUCH better still...
Marich, from the plasma farm.

Marich was euthanized after a year of trying to get him comfortable, his lameness and CPL were beyond repair. He is missed. ):
Beatrix the Molly Mule was pulled from the kill pen...
Adopted by Karen in CT. (:

He died on a sunny spring day with a mouthful of grain.
...2nd raffle success.
Bill, the Belgian had to be euthanized for colic, he was very
old, and the neighbor thought she was helping by throwing
apples into the paddock. ): The mare was donated to the
MSPCA to have her hip fixed, two bone chips were inside
causing constant infection.
Thanks Michelle! .
...Marich was euthanized after a year of eating as
much as he could. His feet and legs were
insurmountable. ): He is sorely missed!!
