Chance
Chance, formerly known as JB's Crown in his not so distant racing days is the reason Another Chance Equine Rescue began. We found Chance in a field with other well horses, in so much pain he could not move, wasting away and prepared to die.
Shannon Edgar of Top Hats n Tails saw that he needed help and said bring him to her stable. With the generous help of Shannon and her boarders and her lesson people this horse was given a new name, and Another Chance Equine Rescue began.
Many people came together to help this horse , and he is well loved. It has been 6 years and he is still happy, but not sound. He has many old racing injuries and conditions that resulted from the hard running he did, so he will never be ridden, just loved.
Chance has a very best friend that he helps also. John Carney our Vice President is a fireman, paramedic, an author as well as an instructor of Paramedics and Dive Rescue. John so often sees and is in situations that are very sad and it is therapy for him to come to the barn and hug Chance. John is a very brave man and faces life threatening situations everyday, but tears stream down his face as he tells Chance and all the other rescued horses how much he loves them, and how much inner peace they give to him.
Chance has shown us all what strength of heart can do, he is loved by many people and will remain with us for as long as he is happy .
Lady Bug
Lady is a 13 year old OTTB who was on her way to Sugar Creek, emaciated and afraid of everything and everyone. She was covered with mud and when hosed off her hoof showed deformity from an untreated cut. Very nice ground manners, but you need to be gentle around her face as she was ear twitched and hit in the face at some point before she came to us. She is very trusting now.
Lady will remain with us as she is not
sound for riding.
