Do you have an older horse, hard keeper horse or a rescued starved horse? Want to know a proven way to help put on
weight and maintain that weight? Have you ever heard of the feed "One and Only" made by Wendlands Feeds. It's the
only free choice (meaning feed as much as you want any time you want) feed on the market that we know of. We have pictures
at the bottom of this page of before and after and pictures in our "Before and After page) to show you what this food
has done for the horses that have come thru our gates starved and in need. ANY HORSE can eat this feed, regardless of how
"Toothless" they may be. Don't let your old friend suffer because you don't know how to help him in his later days.
Give us a call or drop us an email and we will be happy to refer you to a store that sells this. No body endorses us, or pays
us to tell you about this feed, we do this freely and willing because this feed W O R K'S.
Welcome to our site.
We rescue starved, abused, neglected, old, injured, sick, and unwanted horses, donkeys and mules. We do take in owner
surrender equine IF and WHEN we have the room, but our priority is to the neglected and needy first.
We do operate a "Sanctuary" section for aged, injured,lame, blind and other equine who would otherwise have
a difficult time finding a life time home who COULD and WOULD meet their special needs.We do not have enough space to take
in anymore at this time (Feb 08).
We are not paid or supported by any agency, company or private organization. None of us are paid a salary to do this work,
from our President down to our volunteers.We do this out of our own pocket , because we are passionate about caring for equine
and animals who are in need. We work with local and at times national law enforcement, in upholding the laws concerning abuse
and neglect. We are also happy to network with any other reputable animal rescue who may need our help.
We are located on a farm in Blue Ridge, Texas (45 miles NE of Dallas). This is also our home. We do not operate "business
hours", there is no such thing in the rescue world. So please be respectful, and call ahead of a visit. We do welcome
visits from the general public, please call ahead to make sure some is here to take you on a tour and to meet the animals
in our care.

away in his stall.He was the victim of starvation and neglect,and he was only around 9 months old. Some times by the time

Madison was purposely starved and ended up in the condition you see in the pictures. She packed on weight and received
lots of TLC, and returned to good health. She past away almost 3 years later from colic. Her life was cut short by several
years because of her starvation.

How much does it cost to rehabilitate a horse?
See the story in words and pictures of a rehabilitation that took 123 days. Watch McKinney's Trooper from day 1 - 123
(in the before and after page). The cost to rehabilitate this equine which included, Veterinary care, Farrier work, dental
work, wormer, medicated shampoos and feed was $2368.55 (OUCH)
.........................................................
ARE SORRY IF THE PICTURES ON THIS PAGE ARE UPSETTING TO YOU.
A starved equine is not pleasant to look at, but we want you to see reality for what it is. This is what we work with.
Most equine are not healthy or happy when they first arrive here, we jump into action right away and start on the healing
process of mind and body. That boils down to, 98% of the equine that come through our gates are in need of medical attention
and rehabilitation, this is very expensive. This can take months or even years.
..........................................................
This is where you can help, by donating some thing, even a little some thing can go a long way.Be it your time, talents,
or what whichever way you feel you can help .
.........................................................
We opened our gates in 2001. We have had over 70 equine be cared for during that time. With an average of 25 here at any
given time.
