Provide Quality Care for Rescued Horses in Texas

April came to Easy R Equine Rescue last year, not unlike many of the horses we receive--severely underweight and malnourished. She had been seized from a neglectul owner by the local sheriff's department. Her ribs and hip points were protruding and her hair was coarse and dull. Even though she was cooperative, her eyes showed her distrust of humans.  She immediately was placed in one of our wonderful foster homes where she had a nice large stall of her own, an even nicer and larger turn out pasture with lush spring grass, and a buddy horse named Robby.

Robby is a 29 year old horse who belongs to the foster family.  Prior to April being placed at the foster home, Robby had had a pasture mate for years with whom he was very bonded.  But that horse had recently died and left Robby grieving.  April was placed in Robby's pasture and they became fast friends.  Even though the pasture was very large and they had plenty of room to roam, they could always be found side by side, grazing with their noses in the grass.  April's companionship helped Robby get past his grief.  And she quickly put on weight, her hair became soft and glossy, and she gained trust in the humans around her.

Last month, Easy R Equine Rescue held an adoption event where all the adoptable horses were showcased for people to meet.  April was one of the favorites.  One family in particular was extremely interested in adopting April, specifically for a teenage girl who was longing for a horse of her own.  From what we hear and the pictures we receive, they are in love with each other.  Every horse needs the opportunity to be loved by a teenage girl.  And don't worry, we quickly placed another precious mare with Robby. So he is grazing side by side with Jasmine now.
