ROCKING HORSE RANCH
325 EQUINES SAVED FROM SLAUGHTERROCKING HORSE RANCH RESCUE
For the last twenty three years, Dale Paulette Stone has been running Rocking Horse Ranch Animal Rescue and Sanctuary in Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada.
During those twenty three years 325 equines have come through the rescue’s doors — INSTEAD of being slaughtered for human consumption.
Unfortunately, 2021 finds Dale struggling to keep Rocking Horse Ranch Rescue going due to two challenges…
First, she’s experiencing some health issues, and second, Covid-19 restrictions last summer made it impossible to host fund raising events that over the years have helped tremendously with raising monies to provide proper care and rehab of horses and other animals. The rescue has been struggling since.
Covid19 restrictions eliminated in person fund raising opportunites that for over 2 decades have been the backbone of Rocking Horse Ranch Rescue…
Between Covid protocols and some health issues it is not looking good for Dale to be able to run in person fund raising events this summer either.
Thankfully she has several volunteers who help with the day to day chores but Rocking Horse Ranch is in desperate need of funding as hay season is almost here and the rescue doesn’t have enough money to buy hay for this coming winter.
UPDATE:
FUNDING HAS BEEN SECURED FOR HAY FOR WINTER 2021 – 2022
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED INCLUDING
HORSE RESCUE FUND
CURRENTLY ROCKING HORSE RANCH HAS:
- 4 LARGE horses
- 2 senior donkeys
- 4 ponies
- 1 personality plus goat
- 1 llama
along with
- ducks,
- chickens,
- geese and
- 1 emu
all lovingly rescued from harm’s way.
The large animals are all special needs which adds to the financial burden.
Over the last 23 years along with 325 horses, many other animals in need have come through the doors of Rocking Horse Ranch Rescue, including cats and dogs!
Any amount is greatly appreciated.
$5 buys a small square bale of hay and $40 a large round bale of hay.
Our hay needs have been met for winter 2021 – 2022 but we constantly have other expenses…
