Welcome to Triple O Ranch Equine Sanctuary Blog

Welcome to Triple O Ranch Equine Santuary Blog. We are doing the paperwork to become classified as a non-profit organization. I've been told that it is a long and drawn-out process, but we are patient. That classification will open many doors for us. It will enable us to accept donations such as cash, hay, feed, supplies and equipment from individuals as well as corporations. We have been doing this work for years but have come to the point to make it official. YOU, are welcome to make comments, share ideas, suggestions and opinions on this site. As we progress we will be looking for people to help spread the word about our organization as well as offer ideas on fund-raising projects. YOUR input will be appreciated. Currently, the number of abused and neglected horses, ponies and donkeys continues to increase due to factors such as the struggling economy and low selling prices. The "killer market" seems to thrive on these factors. Horses are being shipped all over the country to slaughter houses outside of the United States borders in Canada and Mexico. I do believe that "some people" are unaware of what it takes, physically, financially and emotionally to properly care for horses 24/7/365 and become "overwhelmed" by the responsibility of the task. Maybe some are in denial of the fact that their horses are neglected. And there are "the others", which do not care that their horses are suffering, as they consider them their property. Outright abuse, makes NO sense to me. How anyone abuses the defenseless is beyond whatever benefit-of-doubt, I could possibly come up with to understand how they justify their actions. No matter what part of the country you live in, there are people who have horses which they are not able to give adequate care to or people who "don't" or "won't" provide adequate food, water and shelter for their horses. If you have horses which you can not care for....please find someone else than can.  We, as a nation, provide food, water and shelter to the worst of the worst of the criminals in our society. How can we allow for horses to be locked up without their basic needs being met ????
