On Thursday, March 20, 2008, Nellie and her precious unborn foal, Lil Angel, were euthanized. Nellie was unable to stand after emergency surgery for a severe case of sand colic. We are determined to do all we can to make these tragic deaths meaningful. Nellie and Lil Angel are the latest vicitms of the PMU industry and it must stop! Read more of Nellie's story and please join us in our fight. Follow the story of the survivors, Jerri and Apple here. All aboard the 2008 Hay Wagon! Now that the Big Boned Gals have arrived, providing the horses with the hay they need is a very expensive proposition. We started the drive with enough hay for six months, but thanks to increasing costs, that's gone and we're now raising funds on a month-to-month basis. We hope we have some enticements for you that may make our goals a little easier to achieve. More info... April 1, 2008

		Simba, day 1 Simba, day 44 Buttercup	New arrivals at MHR On Saturday, September 1, 2007 visitors to MHR for the First Annual Labor Day Celebration witnessed a rescue first hand. A starved 20+ year old thoroughbred without a name arrived at MHR. She was part of a large number of animals seized from one individual. She's estimated to be about 400 lbs underweight. Named Simba Marie by the visiting FOBs she settled in to her new quarters quite nicely. She seems to very much enjoy her hay and vitamins. Simba Marie has been examined by a veterinarian and also had her teeth examined and treated. The doctor recommends that the current diet be continued and that her only problem is starvation. We hope that we have many years ahead of us with Simba Marie and that she enjoys her new home very much. On September 13, 2007 MHR welcomed Buttercup, a 26 year old palomino mare with a reported lung problem. Buttercup traveled by trailer all the way from Pennsylvania. She is a beautiful little girl with a determined personality. Her breathing has been fine since her arrival, but she did have a bout with colic. She recovered from that nicely and eagerly devours her Equine Senior every day. Read about Simba Marie and Buttercup on our Permanent Residents page as they make progress in adusting and putting on much-needed weight. If you wish to help Simba Marie and Buttercup, please visit our Donations page. More... September 25, 2007



	Miracle Horse Rescue Inc. is a federally-recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization which is dedicated to the preservation and welfare of abused, neglected and unwanted domesticated horses of all types and conditions. Miracle Horse Rescue does not receive Federal or state funding, and relies totally on the generosity of public donations. It is the goal of Miracle Horse Rescue to rehabilitate each horse to the best of its ability, and then to locate placement into a "Forever" home through our adoption program. Miracle Horse Rescue is anti-slaughter, and those horses deemed unadoptable because of varying disabilities will live out the rest of their lives at the Miracle Horse Rescue facility, receiving the care and love they so justly deserve. At the end of their lives, when all treatment has been tried and the decision is made that further attempts are futile, the only option becomes humane euthanasia by a qualified/certified/licensed equine veterinarian.
