Doomed racehorse on the auction block
Jack was so stressed that he refused to eat and drink.
Because of kind people like you, this retired racehorse got a second chance at life.
Before: Jack had competed in 94 races and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars for his owner. But he took a bad fall during his final year of racing. At 11 years old, Jack was destined for the slaughterhouse. When he was rescued at an auction in Ohio, he was severely dehydrated and malnourished, and had sores all over his body.
After: With help from our Second Chance® Fund, Jack received the care and treatment he needed to recover. His rescuers brought him to a sanctuary, where, after a lifetime of grueling work on the racetrack, Jack now spends his days relaxing in a peaceful pasture. Other animals need a second chance.
Will you help us heal them too?

Abused Horses Rescued from Defiance County Farm -Feb. 19, 2007
The Horses Were brought to the
shelter by trailer
HICKSVILLE, OHIO -- For the second time in a few weeks, police in northwest Ohio are dealing with a startling case of animal abuse. Thursday night, rescuers took 11 malnourished, injured horses from the Dave Eicher farm on Seevers Road in Defiance County. The farm is near Hicksville, about 75 miles west of Toledo.
Defiance County Sheriff David Westrick says the animals were found severely underweight, weak, and unstable. We're told that they should weigh about 1,000 pounds, and some are only about 600 pounds. Some are suffering from knee injuries that were never treated. Others have ringworm, or hair falling out due to malnutrition. Some have hooves that have not been properly trimmed.
"On the front left hoof, where the shoe had pulled off before, it ripped off hoof with it," said horse rescuer Diana Murphy. "That causes a lot of pain. It's like ripping off your fingernail."
Rescuers took the horses from the farm and delivered them to Murphy's Voice for Horses Rescue Network, a horse rescue sanctuary on Frankfort Road in Spencer Township in western Lucas County.
After they were delivered from the long trailer ride from Hicksville, Murphy says the horses were eating, but she will have to watch them closely. "The really is no excuse for it to happen. If you're going to have an animal, take care of it," said Murphy. "Having this number [of horses,] the [abuse is happening] over and over again."
"It depends on how far gone their feet are," said Sue Wollace, a volunteer for the shelter. "A lot of times they will come back and be fine. Time will tell."
No word on whether the Defiance County Sheriff will charge Eicher, the owner of the farm.
Just two weeks ago, Murphy had an abused horse die in her arms. "Curley," as he was known, was only 18 months old, and was about 300 pounds underweight when he was rescued from a farm in Henry County. Two other horses who were rescued from the same farm, "Painter" and "Radar," are still at the shelter. Their owner, Brad Leech, appeared in court earlier this week to face three charges of animal cruelty.
Leech did not have an attorney when he appeared, so his case was put off until February 12th.
While she says it's hard to tell what's causing the increase in abuse, Murphy thinks cold weather may be playing a role. "People will use their pasture as food, but now that there's no pasture, they have to buy hay, which is very expensive," said Murphy. "If they can't afford it, their horses are going to go without food."
The cost of taking care of these animals is enormous and the Voice for Horses Rescue Network is always looking for help. If you want to donate, call 419-247-0025 or see their web site below.
