H.O.P.E. VOLUNTEERING!
Those interested in learning more about horses & becoming involved with horses through volunteer opportunities. Those who are willing to provide a loving forever home for a rescued equine. Those who run a 501 (c) 3 human not for profit equine rescue that would like to network in order to save more horses in need.* We also do our best to network with other rescues to help more horses in need. We also will cross-post bulletins for other animal rescues when we can to help spread the word for all animals out there that need help.

"Rescue Me"
The sparkle of life has long since left my tired eyes Years of neglect have brought me here A steel hand is all that I have felt The bang of an auction gavel sealed my fate But a golden ray of sunshine comes upon me A soft voice whispers in my drooping ears A gentle hand touches my tired withers Although I flinch, I do not feel the sting of a whip Calming words and a soothing voice ease my fears A halter & lead rope are gently placed on me Another trailer stands before me now, I am urged to go inside I struggle with fear and pull back hard on the rope Awaiting harsh words and whip lashes, I pull harder But no harsh words hurt my ears No sting from the whip piercing my skin I only hear more gentle soothing words With fear and trepidation, I step into the trailer My entire body quivers in fear A huge mound of fresh green hay awaits me At my destination, I am gently led into an enormous stall with deep, soft bedding A trough of clear, cool water to drink from A feed tub with fresh grain awaits me I peek out my stall door to a pasture of lush green grass I wonder to myself "Is this the Rainbow Bridge?" The horse in the stall next to me nickers, "No, it's an equine rescue."

"Resuce Me" #2~
Rescue me not only with your hands but with your heart as well.
I will respond to you.
Rescue me not out of pity but out of love.
I will love you back.
Rescue me not with self-righteousness but with compassion.
I will learn what you teach.
Rescue me not because of my past but because of my future
I will relax and enjoy.
Rescue me not simply to save me but to give me a new life.
I will appreciate your gift.
Rescue me not only with a firm hand but with tolerance and patience.
I will please you.
Rescue me not only because of who I am but who I'm to become.
I will grow and mature.
Rescue me not to revere yourself to others but because you want me.
I will never let you down.
Rescue me not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to teach me to trust.
I will be loyal and true.
Rescue me not to be chained or to fight but to be your companion.
I will stand by your side.
Rescue me not to replace one you've lost but to soothe your spirit.
I will cherish you.
Rescue me not to be your pet but to be your friend.
I will give you my undying love...
H.O.P.E. Rescue
