Princess Leah came into our rescue program on August 12, 2010. Princess Leah is one of 17 horses that survived a horrific trailer accident on the Turner Turnpike on May 18, 2010. Princess Leah along with 29 other horses were headed to Mexico on that horrible day, fated for slaughter. Unfortunately, 11 died instantly or had to be euthanized on scene of the wreck, 2 later died once they were transported back to the kill buyers property in Missouri. It is horrible to think that an overturned semi trailer is a blessing. But to these surviving 17 horses that horrific day is what ultimately saved their lives. These beautiful horses were given a second chance. These horses have remained in the custody of the kill buyer in Missouri until August 12th, all pictures posted are from the day of arrival into our rescue program and our Veterinary Day, which was 4 days after arrival. Thanks to HSUS for assisting us in our efforts to gain custody of these wonderful horses. It is a blessing to provide these horses a chance to be adopted and given the opportunity to be loved and someone's companion, such as many once were before being sold at a Livestock Auction in Missouri and Illinois. Many still wear their scars and wounds on them from that horrible day. Nothing about the Slaughter industry is humane. These horses not only suffered a horrible trailer wreck, but it is clear that they received little to no care while waiting at the Kill buyers to make that awful transport again. Thankfully, their horrible road to hell has ended and now we are providing them the care that they deserve, so that wonderful families can enjoy these sweet, sweet horses. It only takes a few minutes to look into these horses eyes and see the love, fear, uncertainness, and forgiveness that they have to offer. They will send you a message of thanks daily, from a simple nicker to a loving caress. Please note that the 17 horses are located in foster care. If you are interested in adopting one of these horses, please notify us, so that we can make arrangements to get that particular horse here at our facility to be seen.

Princess Leah is a super sweet, Bay, Quarter Horse, Mare. She is estimated to be 7 years of age. Princess Leah is a sweet girl and she loves attention. She is one of the first to greet you in the pasture and is eagerly waiting for a treat. Princess Leah has previously foundered and is currently in corrective shoes. We don't believe that she will always have to remain in shoes. She should be able to come out of them once she has grown enough sole and heal, and has an over all healthy hoof. She is sound and healthy. Princess Leah is broke to ride and will make someone an excellent horse. We do recommend that you spend some time building a relationship and start slow in the round pen before asking her to perform or hit a trail. We don't know when the last time Princess Leah was ridden prior to coming into our rescue program, so she will require some tune up rides. Princess Leah has a current negative coggins, up to date on vaccinations, deworming, hoof maintenance with corrective shoes, x-rays, and teeth floating. If you are interested in giving this sweet girl a forever, loving home, please submit an adoption application, or call/email to schedule an appointment today.

Princes Leah has been adopted to a wonderful family in Jones, Oklahoma. Princess Leah was adopted along with Santina and both are going to be spoiled rotten and extremely well loved. We are thrilled that these two wonderful girls have found their forever, loving home.
