A stray pony was accepted into the program from Johnston County Animal Services.  She was found loose Sunday, and is very thin.  The little mare is shy, but sweet and appears to have a chronic skin condition.  She is currently in quarantine and doing very well thus far.

1st Annual USERL - NC Triangle Horse Fest a Success!

July 14, 2011:
Meet "Nizzy", the newest member of the USERL - NC Triangle Horse program.  Her owner sadly fell on hard financial times and was relocating out of state after her home going into foreclosure, etc.  There were 5 horses total, with 3 finding homes thanks to a wonderful USERL volunteer giving her time to help the owner find them homes.  Nizzy was one of two left that hadn't found a home yet.  Read more...
July 27, 2011:  UPDATE!
The NC Triad Region took in a mare and foal from a Virginia cruelty investigation this past Monday.  The mare, sadly, went down and could not be saved.  She was emaciated, with nasal discharge, fever and little milk.  Her foal, now an orphan, was transported to the Triangle Region rehab farm to continue her rehab.  The two month old filly, "Stori", is very thin. 
Her medical needs will likely be high as she has some health issues beyond the obvious weight issues and being an orphan.  Donations for her medical care are greatly appreciated!  Donate to the "ChipIn" fund at the top of this page and also get a chance to win the canvas print by Chariot Creative!

November 5, 2011:  UPDATE!
On Nov. 4th, Granville County and concerned citizens contacted USERL about a horse in poor condition needing assistance.  The owner has been trying to care for the horse, but had 12 horses total and just couldn't manage it financially.  He agreed to donate the gelding to USERL for medical and nutritional care. 
The Triangle Region Rehab foster farm has just recovered from the damage Hurricane Irene dealt earlier this year.  Read more...

January 1, 2012:
2011 ended with a busy month, and began with a new horse in the program.  This Palomino gelding was surrendered by his owner during a cruelty investigation.  Two other horses, in good weight, are being rehomed to private parties.  Conditions were unsanitary from small deeply muddy enclosures, and this aged gelding required more care than the owner could provide.  Read more...
