If you would like to help us save a baby you may make send a gift. It takes about $3.00 per day to feed a foal milk and around $300 to purchase them from the slaughter sales. It is important that you understand that we are not a non-profit organization and just fostering these babies until they can find homes. Our cost out of pocket is normally around $300 per foal - $100 higher if the foal has color; black, grey, appy, palamino) But we are unable to save many horses with a one family income. Any funds gifted will go directly to purchasing (usually from slaughter), feeding, placement, or medical care of a horse. Whether you give or not... please feel free to come and visit the babies in the spring!
The prime reason for this facility is to rescue horses from slaughter that could have a meaningful place in society. Retired, injured, or slow animals are often sent to slaughter. Instead of needlessly killing these animals Beechmont Stables would offer them a home, retrain them, adopt them out to families with good homes, or put them to work with area horse lovers, for riding and development of horsemanship skills. Every spring we will also endevour to rescue as many nurse mare foals as possible and place them in loving homes. Thousands of these babies are destroyed every year after birth as their mothers become nurse mares for race horse foals.
Who Am I:
My name is Judy Quinlan. I have been a horse lover my entire life. In 1990 I began saving race horses one by one. Each horse needed plenty TLC and months of training, but it was worth it in the end to see them go to good families instead of a meat producer.
Seven years ago our daughter Sydni was born with a genetic problem that caused her to need a liver transplant at the age of 10 weeks (one of the smallest in the world). Sydni survived but is diagnosed with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. The Building Blocks Foundation was there for us when Sydni’s medical bills fell through the insurance cracks.
Beechmont Stables and Rescue is my dream combining rescuing horses and giving them an occupation or home that will give city-bound horse-lovers (especially kids) a chance to be with horses..
