People Throw away horses everyday. Good people, bad people, good horses, bad horses. Horses are among the easiest animals to abuse and neglect. They don't complain, they don't cry out. They endure their suffering in silence. One of Gods noblest creatures, the horse has been our partner since time began. Working beside us and sharing our heaviest loads, be they physical or emotional, the horse has always been there for us in so many ways.

Unfortunately, we are not always there for him. Indiscriminant breeding has lead for an overage of horses, and they have become an easy commodity to use and throw away. They have fallen into the hands of the irresponsible and into the hands of the greedy. A horse can be a wonderful thing, but then what do you do with him when he is too old to serve you or possibly injured or too stressed to be a reliable companion? A responsible and caring horse owner usually has their horse-friend humanely euthanized with the dignity he deserves. But others, simply dump their horse at an auction where he gathers a few dollars, and then they turn their backs, and walk away.
A lucky horse might be bought by a rescue or even another caring human being. But the majority are bought for cents by the pound and are loaded onto trucks to begin a long and treacherous trip to a horrific end at a slaughterhouse. Good horses, bad horses, young and old alike suffer this same fate.
