Our newest arrival: "Lil' Richard"
Update: June 25: Lil' Richard continues to gain strength by the day and has begun putting on weight. The serious, infected cut on his hock has improved as his nutrition has improved and is about half the size it was when he arrived here on June 6. Lil' Richard still has a long way to go but is full of life, is easy to work with, and is cooperative. This horse has lots of potential.
June 25, 2009 DCFHR update: Caring for a rescued horse: On an almost daily basis we receive e-mails and phone calls from owners all over the U.S. asking for help and guidance in feeding starving horses that they have been given or have rescued themselves. We are not veterinarians, so the following information is what we have found works best for us and what we have learned from experience and from our veterinarians.

Horse: Phantom
Phantom, Nine years old. What an awesome walking horse gelding! Loads like a dream, ties, loves to be loved on. He is waiting for a forever home. Acts like the new sheriff in town and doesn't let other horses run him off. Phantom was rescued five years ago from a violently abusive situation and needs an owner with a calm voice. This horse has spirit and spunk, is a pro at loading and unloading, and has the potential to be someone's awesome riding horse. See additional pictures on our Available Horses page. A little history: Dancing Cloud Farm Horse Rescue, Inc., (DCFHR) , a 501(c)3 organization, was established in July 2008 when thirteen starving and neglected horses were rescued and brought to our farm. Before this rescue, we had taken in eight previous rescues, brought to us by owners who could no longer afford to keep their horses or by people who rescued the horses themselves but had no place to keep them. With our world's economy in trouble and with the number of home foreclosures, horses and other animals are being abandoned in great numbers; we saw the need for a horse rescue and sanctuary in South Georgia and committed ourselves to using our farm to help horses. A group of horse lovers joined together to create Dancing Cloud Farm Horse Rescue, Inc. We are funded totally by donations of feed, hay, and finances. With your help, we can make a positive difference in our world. |

Lil' Richard was
turned over to DCFHR by his owner from Worth County on June 6 who could not care for her horse's
needs. Lil' Richard has a bad tooth that needs veterinary dentist
care but he seems sound and still has lots of life left in him. We
will work hard to turn this horse around and give him what he needs.
Lil' Richard is being fed hourly and eats every morsel; he has lots of
energy, and has had good training in his past. He's gentle and
cooperative, nickers to us when he sees us coming. Lil' Richard's back
and legs are covered in rain rot, so he's been given his first medicated
shampoo bath.
