 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.
