What a day!

We can not thank Micky & Tiffany Insalaco from MT Acres along with Jon & Heather Solomon & both their families for all the work they put in for the Rescue Rendezvous!  What a fantastic event!

The Rescue Rendezvous was a busy place to be!  We watched Jerry Brignardello from True Love Natural Horse Center do several horsemanship training sessions - using IHR Rescue horses!  It was fun to watch horses we knew be worked with and see them respond so well.  It was heartwarming to know that he True Love Natural Horse Center will be boarding 2 rescue horses!  Jack and Doc were adopted by two wonderful ladies that are boarding and have been taking lessons from Jerry Brignardello at True Love.  Congratulations on your adoptions!

Dr. Barbara Truex a newly Indiana licensed veterinarian attended and gave a seminar on what every horse owner needs to know, first aid - when to or not to call the vet.  Dr. Truex is licensed in several states and we hope to see more of her here in Indiana.

It was fantastic to see Savvy Sidekicks and their demonstration with horses. What a great group of horse women!

Cast A Way Cats attended with some of their great volunteers and they are some pretty fantastic people!  Their love for their animals and finding the right homes is above and beyond the ordinary!  Of course with the heat, they were not going to take a risk of over heating their feline friends, so they had to stay home in the air conditioning - hmmm  I'm not sure who was smarter, the cats or the people!

We also adopted out 4 additional horses - 2 from IHR South and a total of 4 from IHR Main!  IHR East was unable to attend due to a family emergency.

Thanks to everyone who attended and we look forward to finding the right horse for many others that were interested in adopting a rescue horse!

Even more thanks goes to our equine volunteers Ashley, Jena, Jenn, Kelsey and Becky Shope (IHR South) for the long 6 hour drive to be able to bring in some fantastic horses!
