Your Donation Makes a Difference

The Illinois Horse Rescue of Will County was founded in 2011, to provide shelter and care for mistreated or abandoned horses and other animals. We provide shelter, food, and veterinary services for these animals until a suitable home can be found. As secondary services, we provide educational and therapeutic programs to local schools and charities with and about these animals.

RESCUE REPORT!

JUST RESCUED! 3/16/23

Kind volunteers delivered a poor neglected mare to Illinois Horse Rescue of Will County. At first glance, she didn’t look to bad we thought but don’t let that long black winter coat fool you like it did us. Once you are close and for sure touching her, you can feel every rib (like they are a washboard). She needs to gain around 300 pounds to be at a healthy weight. After further examination she has a small baseball mass on her back right pastern (ankle).

This poor girl is now safe with us and getting fed regularly. She will be seen by our vet and farrier to get a full examination/ evaluation. These things add up, so we are needing sponsors for her. Her name is Black Beauty!
