Percy came into our rescue program on August 12, 2010. Percy is one of 17 horses that survived a horrific trailer accident on the Turner Turnpike on May 18, 2010. Percy along with 29 other horses were headed to Mexico on that horrible day, fated for slaughter. Unfortunately, 11 died instantly or had to be euthanized on scene of the wreck, 2 later died once they were transported back to the kill buyers property in Missouri. It is horrible to think that an overturned semi trailer is a blessing. But to these surviving 17 horses that horrific day is what ultimately saved their lives. These beautiful horses were given a second chance. Thanks to HSUS for assisting us in our efforts to gain custody of these wonderful horses. It is a blessing to provide these horses a chance to be adopted and given the opportunity to be loved and someone's companion, such as many once were before being sold at a Livestock Auction in Missouri and Illinois. Many still wear their scars and wounds on them from that horrible day. Nothing about the Slaughter industry is humane. These horses not only suffered a horrible trailer wreck, but it is clear that they received little to no care while waiting at the Kill buyers to make that awful transport again. These horses have remained in the custody of the kill buyer in Missouri until August 12th, all pictures posted are from the day of arrival into our rescue program and our Veterinary Day, which was 4 days after arrival. Thankfully, their horrible road to hell has ended and now we are providing them the care that they deserve, so that wonderful families can enjoy these sweet, sweet horses. It only takes a few minutes to look into these horses eyes and see the love, fear, uncertainness, and forgiveness that they have to offer. They will send you a message of thanks daily, from a simple nicker to a loving caress. Please note that the 17 horses are located in foster care. If you are interested in adopting one of these horses, please notify us, so that we can make arrangements to get that particular horse here at our facility to be seen.

Percy is a super sweet Flea Bit Grey, Quarter Horse, Gelding. He is estimated to be 30 years of age. This is one that I struggle with the most. Can you imagine, your 30 year old horse, that has been your family companion, that has given you his all and dedicated his life to you and your final act of appreciation is sending your 30 year old gelding to the livestock auction to be sold for slaughter? Maybe his former family felt that he was getting old and they didn't want to walk outside and find him dead. I guess I will never truly know how he ended up on that trailer, but what I do know is HE SURVIVED. This sweet old man survived a horrific trailer accident. He is strong and a fighter and has a will to live and be someone's family. This sweet boy is going blind due to Uveitis. He loves attention and is already showing signs of improvement and he seems very happy. Percy has a current negative coggins, up to date on vaccinations, deworming, hoof maintenance and teeth floating. Percy needs to gain some much needed weight. We will update with his adoption status soon. Please consider making a donation towards Percy's Rehabilitation. We will update as he progresses.

Percy has been adopted to a wonderful family in Calumet, Oklahoma. Percy has found his forever, loving home with his foster family. They fell in love with Percy immediately and felt that he deserved to have his final home, showered with love and giving everything that he needs. Percy's life was nearly over and thankfully he was saved and a second chance was given to him. We are thrilled that this sweet boy has found his forever, loving family that he so rightfully deserved.
