Lady Hawke Arrives!

After a 7 week layover (originally from Pa.) Lady Hawke stayed in Niagara Falls and arrived on April 28th - to Bostwick Bay Farms in Southhold, NY for rehabilitation. It was a true nightmare for this once well taken care of beautiful 16 year old mare.

She could not be any sweeter, even after all she has suffered through, and she has a long road ahead to full recovery, as you can see. The woman who had her is up on many counts of animal cruelty, so justice will be done - thanks to the PA SPCA who removed all the horses in this woman's facility. This person was a supposed "rescue" and getting donations. Just because someone takes a horse in need, does not guarantee the future is a good one for that horse. Please check carefully when sending a horse in need to a new home - rescue or otherwise. Lady Hawke is unfortunately the example of what can happen when the future of your horse is not secured. This damage was done to her in only 13 months time!! Please, get references and check them, and go to see the facility to see for yourself. There are many amazing rescues and homes out there, make sure it's a good one.

Lady Hawke at the "rescue" in PA

I received a call from Stephany of Celtic Rein Equine Rescue & Sanctuary in Maryland who had all of the details. Lady Hawke was an urgent case - since the rescue's in PA and MD were all full, and wanted another rescue to get her out of there as soon as possible.

Lady Hawke before this all began - Please help us get this sweet and deserving mare back to this condition! She deserves it

If you could find it in your heart to assist us with Lady Hawke's bills for shipping, food, and vet visits, with many more to come, it would be so helpful and appreciated - she will need to be wormed, vaccinated and have her teeth done, which cannot be done yet, due to her malnutrition. This poor mare has an intense recovery ahead, and any denomination will help us help Lady Hawke tremendously, and will go directly toward her care.
