Horse Rescue will celebrate 10 years of rescue, helping over 1700 horses, victims of abuse, neglect, abandonment, slaughter bound. As the rescue approaches the 10th year, what is also at risk is the rescue itself. Brad Gaver M.Ed noted Ive always thought, we keep our nose to the grindstone, focus on the welfare of the horses, be present for the horses of our community that need us as well as nationwide and insure that the care of the horses is first and foremost, the rest would follow.http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=6259http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=6259Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:00:00 -0600Recently a billboard was put up in Palm Beach County regarding the issue of horse slaughter and specifically against horse slaughter.

Most recently, AJ Nugget, a 5 year old race horse with a body score of 1.5 (emaciated) and a serious open leg wound. AJ was at a Kill Buyer's farm, too skinny to ship to slaughter... wounded... rescued.http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=6061http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=6061Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0500Sassy, a black no color paint mare spent the majority of life as a broodmare and subsequently, through no fault of her own, this sweet mare ended up at an auction with no one bidding on her. The next place for Sassy would have been the killbuyer. At the auction in northern Florida on a Saturday in November amongst the people was another group outside of random killbuyers, waiting for the horses that the crowd did not seem to want, Pure Thoughts Inc.http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=5621http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=5621Fri, 18 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0600February 18, 2011 -- Wellington, FL -- Each week a special Pinata Pony will be around the show grounds in Wellington.

We look forward to gatherings, social events and the love we feel from one another. This is true for many of us, but for some the holidays will be just another day with the hope of finding love, affection and most importantly a place to call home. This is all too common in both humans and animals.Pure Thoughts would like to change the holidays for some horses.http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=5204http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=5204Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:00:00 -0500Loxahatchee, FL -- March 20, 2010 -- "I wanted to make a deposit in our karma bank," were the words that Charlie from Holly Hill Transport used when he called Pure Thoughts, offering free transport for two Thoroughbred mares saved from going to slaughter. It probably ended up being a larger deposit than they had expected as the horses came down at different times. New Hampshire to Loxahatchee Florida is a long haul.http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=5116http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=5116Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:00:00 -0500Loxahatchee, FL - June 17, 2010 - Gold Coast Feed has been a longtime supplier of horse products in the equestrian community as well as a supporter of horse welfare through Pure Thoughts Horse Rescue.

It's not in them; most continue in the working world in some capacity. Same is true for racehorses -- those who are physically able -- who continue doing some sort of equine activity, whether showing, trail riding, family pet, etc.http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=4942http://www.phelpsmediagroup.com/viewarticle.php?id=4942Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0500Wellington, FL -- The first annual International Gay Polo Tournament took place on Saturday, and Pure Thoughts Horse Rescue was thrilled to participate in the event's halftime show.The inaugural event saw the grounds packed with families, friends old and new, people from all over the country, and everyone having a great time.
