Horses in Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation process can be extremely difficult for both horses and humans. Our rescues come to us with a wide array of issues that urgently need our care and attention. Some recent cases include horses that were malnourished, had been physically abused, injured by improper riding or maintenance, and many other examples of neglect and cruelty.
Regardless of their condition, we proudly care for the horses and give them a second chance. The reality is that some horses will remain unfit for adoption for health and behavioral reasons and will be permanent residents of Spring Creek. For others, they'll be trained once healthy and started on the path to adoption into a qualified, lifelong home.

Raven & Robin
Raven and Robin (the sorrel/red) were bailed from a kill pen by a friend who keeps her horses at a boarding barn. When the barn found out they were not handled and Robin was still a stud they said NO WAY. They are now at Spring Creek Horse Rescue and will be up for adoption when the rehab process is complete. |

Winslow
Winslow came back to the rescue from an adopter after more than a year. It has become apparent that he may have been trusted around those whose credentials were not reality (I.e. trainer/farrier weren't really qualified). Winslow now has very messed up feet, and is currently unfit for adoption. We plan to work with him and hope to rehab him to an adoptable state once more, and ultimately to find him a loving forever home. |
