About Us ...
Mission Statement: New Beginnings Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation is dedicated to the compassionate care of horses. Our mission is to save, protect, and rehabilitate horses in need. We rescue abused, neglected, and/or abandoned animals; provide them with love, care and rehabilitation. Ultimately our goal is to find them a compatible, loving home. We believe that education and proper training is the long-term solution to improving the lives of these animals. Our Goal: New Beginnings not only takes in rescued and surrendered horses, but fully rehabilitates each animal by training each one based on the sport that is best suited for the horse. Our goal is to eliminate the "Cheap Horse" stigma that these animals tend to fall under. We would prefer to give these horses a second chance at being winners. These animals are worthy of investment. Over the 24 years of my experience, many folks purchase cheap horses based on youthfulness, color and/or beauty. This basis for finding a long-term companion will not get horse owners very far. After finding that these characteristics do not make a good horse, owners tend to fall back on this "Cheap Horse" mentality and rather than investing a few $$ to properly train the horse or correct behavioral issues, these animals start their venture down the road of abuse and neglect. Our Services: Free Educational Services � Many owners are in need of educational knowledge when it comes to properly providing and caring for a horse. Often times when neglected animals are reported the findings suggest owners simply don't know what they are suppose to do. New Beginnings would like to offer our FREE services in providing educational knowledge in caring for these animals. Surrendering A Horse � If you have an animal in your care that is either unwanted or has been abandoned, or was injured and needs medical attention, you may call us for help. If the animal has been neglected you may surrender the animal confidentially without the authorities intervening, however...it only takes one complaint to bring the authorities to your doorstep. Do not contribute to the abuse or neglect of these animals. Donating A Horse � Donated horses will be trained and rehabilitated before finding their final long-term home. They will go through the same adoption process that we use for all of our rescues. Owners may use their donation as a taxable deduction. Body Condition Scoring - New Beginnings has been certified by the United States Humane Society for body condition scoring through the use of the Henneke Body Scoring system. This system was devised to evaluate each horse individually, and to determine the current status of body weight. Because horses differ in conformation and fat distribution, six different areas of the body are scored individually. Scores are then averaged to determine the overall Body Condition Score. Policy on Adoptions: New Beginnings does not fall under the typical adoption processes. We take the time and care needed to fully rehabilitate these animals, if possible, to show quality. For this reason alone we do not adopt these animals for a "Cheap Horse" fee. Many of our horses require surgical procedures to correct previous injuries that are currently disabling. We would prefer to not adopt a horse out that needs further treatment, but to adopt a fully rehabilitated animal with a new beginning. If you have any questions or concerns about our adoption fees, please feel free to contact us for further information @ rescue@newbeginningshorse.com.

Recent News: May 2009 Update NEW FACILITY: Recently we moved our horses to their new home located in Arlington, WA. Talk about a fixer upper; however it has so much potential. We are now located on 13 beautiful acres with a fresh stream, waterfall, barn with 10 stalls, indoor arena and trails, trails, trails. The horses are so happy here and are seem to be healthier than ever. We adopted many horses out over the last year, and unfortunately we have not been able to keep up with the website in order to keep all over updated of their status. I will be working over the next several weeks to show you our progress towards finding wonderful homes for horses in need. Many of you have found it difficult to contact us via phone. Please note that the number above is current and please feel free to contact us anytime for further information. LEASING OPTIONS: We are now leasing many of the horses that are child/husband/family safe. The Lease includes stall, paddock, pasture, indoor arena, pastures and trail access for $150/mo, $200/mo with shoes. By doing this we are able to match horses with potential homes prior to placing them, this ensures a perfect fit. DAY RENTALS: We also will offer a daily rental of $50/day which includes the use of all the amenities. This is for folks that simply want to ride once and awhile. FUNDRAISING: We are currently organizing carwash & BBQ dates located at our new facility in Arlington, WA. If you are interested in helping out or providing food for our fundraiser, please give us a call, you assistance is always helpful. DONATIONS: Donations are still desperately needed in order to keep this organization running. At this time we've had to cut back on our regular care such as micro-chipping, dental care, special joint supplements in order to pay for much needed food and grains supplements. This is not how we want to run our program long-term; however we will do what we need to do to ensure these horses are kept healthy. With the economy being difficult for most families, we would like to say a special thanks to those families that have made incredible donations towards hay, grain, blankets, and veterinary expenses. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! If you are interested in making a donation, please please feel free to contact us @ Rescue@NewBeginningsHorse.com or simply make a donation to our PAYPAL account. Your large or small donation will really help in paying for outstanding veterinary bills. 2006 & 2007 Donations Search Rescue Links By State	Thanks again for all the incredible contributions!!!
