Horse Rescue was a main part of Cedar Ridge Farm for just over
2 years. With everything else going on, limited space and the shear
expense of rehabilitating horses we no longer do Horse rescue.
If
you know of a horse in need or would like to adopt one please
contact
Unfortunately, the majority of what comes
into rescue, especially horse rescue, are seniors.
These two
Belgians were our first rescues taken in. Their beloved owner
had passed away and they needed care. When they came to us their
coats/skin were in need of major care-they had rain scald, lice
and needed a GOOD brushing. Even though they were both seniors
they still needed weight added to their topline and a little
of the ribs. Chester was the stubborn, feisty one and McDuff
was the aloof, sweet boy. We were able to clean them up nicely,
with MUCH effort get their feet done (thanks Rick Billings for
sweating for hours!), got their coat clipped to let their skin
breath and added some nice weight.
Chester & McDuff ended up at a large acreage
up island (this place was also wanting to start up horse rescue)
They now see their old family, as they live close.
CHESTER:
McDUFF:
This Belgian
was just in need of a new home. He needed a good grooming
and quite the opposite of most, he needed to be placed on
a diet! He was a few hundred pounds overweight which does
not benefit any animal. Duke was one of the sweetest horses
to come through our gates-a gentle giant. He was adopted to
a wonderful girl who was able to figure out that he had Mud
Fever on his hind legs-she was able to give him the best care
possible. Last 2 photos of Duke getting his teeth floated
(filed) & his new owner riding him.
