busy one! Indiana Horse Rescue continues to take in horses from all walks of
life. Calls continue to poor in from concerned individuals regarding
neglected horses. This month the Stallings hearing took place for the Gibson
County Horses. Please click here

charges or torture and neglect. This was the largest horse impound in the
state of Indiana and we could not have done it without the support of
so many volunteers, supporters, and donors. Thank you all for your
help and your compassion for the horses! We will be working on getting the
laws changed so that in the future Indiana will have better laws regarding
animal welfare. Club H.O.P.E (Horses Of Poor Environments) had their
