Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue, Inc. located in Jones, Oklahoma, is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that strives to improve the lives of neglected, starved, and abused horses.  We provide equine rescue regardless of age or disability.  We promote and teach horse care and humane, natural methods of training horses.

Rescues:

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue has had a very busy year.  So far this year, we have assisted with 3 large seizures.  We have taken in more horses from Animal Cruelty this year than we have any other year.  From January 1 to September 27, 2009, Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue has taken in 197 horses.  Since we have started our equine rescue in 2001, we have taken in a total of 502 horses and have adopted out 410 of those horses into loving, forever homes.  None of this could be possible without our wonderful supporters and volunteers.  With Animal Cruelty on the rise, we need your support now more than ever.  Donations are needed to continue saving these wonderful horses lives. 

In our last newsletter, we told you about our rescue of 52 horses from Beckham County on May 1st.  Since then, we have assisted Garvin County with the rescue of 82 horses on August 24th 2009.  And most recently we assisted Oklahoma County with the rescue of 6 horses on September 23, 2009 and 2 horses from Logan County on September 24, 2009.  Of course, we can’t forget the countless horses received from Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Division this year as well.  We have a lot of wonderful horses in our care and many of them require a lot of medical attention and care.  We would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of the horses that need your assistance.  We ask that you please consider making a donation towards the horses currently in our care.

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue is making an Urgent Plea for assistance.  Any Donation, no matter the size, is very important to us.  Help us continue to save so many wonderful horses lives.  Remember “Success comes one bit at a time”.

TURTLE

Turtle came into our rescue program on August 20, 2009 from the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Division.  Turtle is a Beautiful, Palomino, Stud, estimated to be 20 years of age and emaciated.  Turtle has bladder stones and is not able to urinate properly.  Turtle is currently being treated for his stones and gaining weight nicely.  Turtle is on extensive antibiotics and has to have treatments weekly to break down the stones and properly empty his bladder.  He is making wonderful progress and hopefully, he will be able to urinate freely soon.  Once he is healthy, he will be gelded.  He is a sweetheart of a horse and tolerates everything wonderfully.  Please consider making a donation towards Turtle’s ongoing medical expenses.  He needs your support!

TEQUILA aka (MR. STUD MAN)

Tequila came into our rescue program on August 24, 2009 along with 81 other horses from Garvin County.  Tequila is a Beautiful, Sorrel, Quarter Horse, Stud.  Tequila is estimated to be 17 years of age and extremely emaciated.  Tequila is one of the sweetest, well mannered Studs.  He has such a wonderful personality and a strong will to survive.  Tequila had not received proper hoof care in quite some time and he is going through a series of corrective trimmings.  His teeth were in extremely poor condition upon arrival.  Tequila is gaining weight wonderfully and once he gains his weight back and is healthy, Tequila will be gelded.  Please consider making a donations towards Tequila’s rehabilitation.

ISABEL

Isabel came into our rescue program on September 23, 2009 from Oklahoma County.  Isabel is a 2 year old, Thoroughbred/Arabian Cross.  She is extremely emaciated and is the size of a yearling.  She is very weak and went down in the trailer while being transported to our facility.  She is such a sweet girl and has already suffered so much in her short life.  We pray that Isabel has the strength to pull through this.  Please consider making a donation towards Isabel’s rehabilitation, she needs your support and prayers.

BOSS

Boss came into our rescue program on August 24, 2009 from Logan County.  Boss is another sweet boy, that is stunted.  Boss is a 2 year old, Paint, Stud Colt.  He is emaciated as well, but doing very well.  He has a strong will and should recover well, but will be very small.  Please consider making a donation towards Boss’ rehabilitation.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support.

Blaze’s Tribute Equine Rescue has many wonderful horses currently available for adoption.  If you or someone you know is wanting to add a horse to their family, please consider adopting a rescued horse.  Rescued horses make wonderful horses, they are so eager to please and give 110% to their adoptive family.  Many of them are young and ready for training.  Many others are broke to ride and some would just be wonderful companion animals or pets.  No matter what you are looking for, you will find that building a relationship with a rescued horse is priceless!

 Take a moment to read about one of our adopters experiences and what her adopted horse means to her.

“I have always tried to on occasion to send Blaze’s a donation for all the horses that they are saving.  Little did I know that last March, I would find my best friend from Blaze’s.  Upon arrival at Blaze’s I met a skinny bay gelding, Porter.  He was so sweet.  I adopted him and brought him home.  Over the next couple of months I watched him bloom into a beautiful horse.  Porter is well broke and gentle.  I indeed found my diamond in the rough.  It seems like he knows he has a home that cares for him and finally he is loved.  We now have a trust between each other that is forever.  Children love Porter to, but that feeling is mutual.  Although he is a big boy at 15 hands, he will let children ride him and he never takes a wrong step.  It took me years to find Porter.  He is the love of my life.  I don’t understand how folks could let a horse of this character go down hill.  He is such an easy keeper.  He has a gentle, kind spirit and I am blessed that he is mine.  I can’t thank Blaze’s enough for letting me adopt Porter.”
