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! Read more... on the main USERL website!

The Triangle Region Rehab foster farm has just recovered from the damage Hurricane Irene dealt earlier this year. Read more...

Comes with 2012 Calendar while supplies last!
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...
