Another Chance for Horses Is a nonprofit group that rescues horses from the perils of auctions where nearly 100,000 horses a year shipped to Canada, slaughtered and sold for human consumption to Europe and Asia. The horse is a beautiful, intelligent animal that deserves humane treatment and a second chance when the current owners can no longer care for them. Please visit Another Chance for Horses to see what you can do to help.

PETE is a wonderful Paint gelding rescued from the KILL PEN in New York. He was holed up with 300 other horses and ready to load into the livestock truck. He was moments away from slaughter in Canada when a rescuer called ANOTHER CHANCE FOR HORSES and told them about Pete. He was saved.
PETE neck reins, is responsive to leg pressure, trail rides bareback and is a big doll baby with other horses in the pasture. He had bruises on the soles of his hooves in the front and was sore. Upon further evaluation, Pete had a severe absess in his left front. With the help of our vet and the skill of our farrier, PETE is on the road to recovery.
PETE and Sarah, my daughter, have bonded. He stands at the gate and whinnies at the top of his lungs when she gets off the school bus or when we step out of our house to walk to the barn. He's such a character. We're glad that AC4H introduced us to Pete and hope that he will be as happy here as we are happy to have him.

Little Willy Wasa, "Henry" was adopted from New Vocations Racehorse. He is a 10yo Thoroughbred gelding. He was used as a Pony Club lesson horse and requires special shoeing in the front. He is sweet, responsive, curious, and very friendly. Special shoeing is a small request to ask in return for a wonderful riding companion for my family. Please consider adopting or rescuing your next horse.
