We
have a lot of horses needing homes right now. Please
consider adopting one of our horses, give them a chance
at a new life, and we will have room for another horse
that is waiting to be saved right now.
These horses need a home, someone to love them and give them the life
they deserve. Each one of these horses has a special
story, most would be dead right now if we had not saved
them. Please give them a chance, give them a home. Info Guide:

Help Feed The Horses!
Help us feed the horses! NER goes through 9 -
15 tons ($1,500-$2,500) of hay each month and the more horses we
rescue the more hay we need. We can get 3 twined
hay, grass or alfalfa depending on the needs of
the horses, it's down to $10.00 a bale now! We are hoping that you will help out
by buying a bale or 2 or becoming a "Hay
Sponsor" even if it's a bale a month. All you
have to do is donate and we'll do all the hard
work of getting the hay, bringing it to the
ranch and unloading it. You really do have the
easy part of this. Every bale is definitely
needed and will be enjoyed by a rescued horse.
The hay is much cheaper then it is at the feed
stores and the more money that is saved from the
high prices of hay will help save more horses
that are out there just waiting for someone to
save them and give them the love they so badly
need.
Last spring we were able to get hay for $8.00
then in the summer $9.00 then $10 then $12.00
then 13.50 a
bale, but we can get it for $10.00 a bale now! We buy
our hay directly from the hay growers to save
money. Let's pray that the price of hay does not
keep going up.

Our
last auction rescue was a huge success! We were able to
save 12 equines with the $4,485 that we were able to
raise, thanks to supporters like yourself. 9 of the
equines came from Roseville Livestock Auction and 3
horses came from the Fallon Livestock Exchange in Nevada. To see
pictures of the 12

In our last board meeting we have developed
a more focused mission for rescuing the most horses we
can. Included in our plan was a discussion on
euthanasia. We see so many horses that we would love to
save, but we know we are unable to bring them into our
program as they are unadoptable. Those horses do
not deserve to be shipped off to be
slaughtered, so we are hoping to be able to provide them
a gentle ending to their magnificent life. It is very
hard to see these beautiful horses be put to sleep, but
it is better than walking away while they are being
loaded into the slaughter truck for the long trip to
Canada or Mexico. When funds allow we will be able to
take unadoptable horses into our program, give them love and
kindness, try to find them a home and if none can be
found, then let them pass on peacefully. Sadly,
the fact is, there are too many people breeding horses
with no thought of where those horses will end up in a
few years, and then we have to make the hard decision
for the right. This program is called
Last Act of Kindness Fund, to find

Truffles gave birth to Bello (Italian for "Beautiful")
last month. Halfway through the labor, Truffles decided
she had enough. She is only 3 years old, and was
confused and bewildered by the weird happenings, so she
decided to get up and walk away from her troubles. But
she was walking away with a baby that was half out! So
Tawnee had to walk around holding a half born baby until
Truffles decided to lay back down and get the job over
with. Bello is the first baby ever born at our ranch,
what a special girl.
Watch her birth on YouTube!
So far this year we have saved 102 equines! Help us save
