Lola: adopted 12/23/2015

Lola was our first foray into the world of equine kill pens. She was posted by a wonderful women who would walk a feed lot in northern Washington State, taking photos of horses, post them to Facebook, trying to help get them out of that dire situation before they were loaded up and shipped across the boarder to Canada. Casey saw her picture and reached out for more information. It turned out Lola had been on that feed lot for close to six months, which is VERY unusual. Horses ship out weekly or at least bi-weekly in most cases. Perhaps it was fate, but Casey paid her bail and got her out of there.

She has spent the last many years with us learning how to be quite the jumper, taught countless young girls how to ride and love a pony, and has shined a light on so many hard truths about the horse industry. 

Lola has been with us for over eight years now. She is our matriarch, she is the one who opened our eyes and hearts to rescued equines, and she forever changed the way we think, interact and represent rescued animals. Our love for Lola runs deep, now and forever.
