Heart Of The Horse ~ Contributed by Hillary Schneider
Horses at risk today are in surplus although not big headline news; it is in fact a common occurance all across Canada and the United States (and beyond). We see bits and pieces in the news here and there but not enough to get the full impact as to the dire straights that this part of the equestrian industry is having to deal with, no matter what part of the world we are from.. The following links to equine rescue centers across around the world is dedicated to all the people that manage these facilities who often have to deal with long and challenging hours to assist with horses coming into their care; horses that find themselves in this most undesirable place where they are no longer loved or looked after as they once were and others that have suffered the worst of neglect. This is a very sad state of affairs as we all know but hopefully our efforts will help to facilitate the awareness and much needed education that is needed to correct this detrimental problem, thus we will no longer hear of such distressful situations for horses.

A Message Of Love ~ Hillary Schneider
In the last few days I have found my attention being brought to a variety of horse rescuesituations. Horse rescues and sanctuary’s are something that as a horse lover is very near to my heart, as I am sure it is with many other horse lovers as well.Often times in the past when faced with knowledge of these situations I would get very upset, my emotions would range from grief, to anger, to rage, to sadness and despair feeling as if I was powerless to do anything to help. Seeing a horse in pain or that has been abused or neglected in any way can be a very distressing thing to witness and be involved in. As someone who has been volunteering at various horse rescues around canada for the last few years I have had a first hand experience of being involved in something that although I felt passionate about hurt me in the deepest way. What I wanted to share with you is a story of how I have overcome distressing emotions about the horses in these situations and can now stand in a place of love and compassion and non judgement so ultimately I can hold the space for these amazing animals to experience the life they choose to experience.

A Very Important Message About the Recent Sled-dog Incident in Whistler and Inflicting Harm on Other Living Beings
We are well aware at Voice For The Horse that 100's of horses are shipped daily from the United States to either Mexico or Canada where they will meet their death (if they arrive alive) in one of the most inhumane ways possible, in many cases. With no need for a descriptive, we understand as Shiri does that these most humble of creatures that have engaged willingly in our lives to please and satisify our human ways, are here to teach us people of love and compassion with their urging for US to reconnect with ourselves, to our beautiful planet and ALL it's abundant nature that still thrives. Their lives were ALL sacrifices; these dogs, our companion animal equines and the many more little critters that have lost their lives prematurely in the hands of humans; they have served this way with the hope that WE will learn.
