Campaign Details
Braveheart is a special horse. He is one of the most loving and kind horses we've come across. He loves people and likes to rest his head on your shoulder as a sort of hug. He always makes us laugh when he opens gates and fences. We caught him in the act below! We know that we have asked you for your help several times. Unfortunately this is the nature of the rescue business. We don't have funding and when something like this comes up we need to ask you, our caring partners, for help. We do promise that 100% of your donation goes directly to the subject of the fundraiser. We hope you understand and give when and what you can so we can continue to help these magnificent creatures.
We are close to the goal we set of $5,000.00, however we didn't realize he will be in the hospital for at least a week. We thought 2-3 days. We also hadn't put an estimate in on rehab, so we really need at least $6-7K! In fact, this operation is normally over $15,000.00, but because we are a rescue, the hospital and surgeon are giving us a 50% discount! So while $6-7K seems high, it's really not.
Some would argue that we should put the horse down. These people have not met Braveheart! He has given his all for man and man let him down. We will not!
He was used, abused and thrown away. As an Amish cart horse, we was overused and when his lameness got in the way, he was sold for slaughter. He was one of the "Last Four" that we saved from Moore's in February. He's been lame in all 4 legs off and on and this operation could save him. Please help with a donation of any amount. He's counting on you.
