On Oct. 11, Happy Trails Horse Rescue will be holding an Open Barn Day from noon–2 pm. We are asking a donation ticket of $20 per person (kids under 18 free). Tickets can be purchased on our website at www.happytrailshr.org
Happy Trails Horse Rescue, located in Tumalo on Couch Market Road, just west of Bend, is dedicated to the protection of horses and their quality of life, to be free from abuse, neglect, abandonment, slaughter or early euthanasia without just cause. While they strive to rescue those horses in need, they also provide community outreach, education and resources such as our surrender prevention program (food, physical and/or medical rehabilitation or temporary shelter) in an effort to alleviate an owner’s difficult choice of relinquishment.
Happy Trails Horse Rescue believes every equine deserves respect, love, compassion and dignity, regardless of age, health or behavior. Hence, they pledge to do whatever they can to facilitate the ability of rescued horses to live out their lives in a safe and peaceful environment, either in a new forever home or at Happy Trails for their remaining years.
Happy Trails Horse Rescue strongly believes that community outreach and education is key in achieving a long-term solution to equine abuse, neglect and abandonment. By helping local equine guardians obtain the necessary services and resources to care for their horses, they hope to minimize the circumstances that could lead to maltreatments, as well as early unnecessary euthanasia or relinquishment leading to slaughter. Happy Trails Horse Rescue has developed a hay/grain bank on site that can provide feed when needed and they seek funds for equine veterinarian / farrier / emergency boarding solutions that may arise due to owner economic or physical challenges.
