"The story below has a happy ending and one I am thrilled to pass on. Christy Sheidy from Another Chance 4 Horses is one of the people I work with on a regular basis helping to save slaughter bound Thoroughbreds (and any other horse I can.) This story underscores the importance of always keeping track of horses you sell or give away. Please let people know that you want to know where the horse is for the rest of its life... and that you will take it back or help place it if it ever needs a home.

Over the past several years, I have made many calls to former owners or to breeders telling them that the horse they thought they found a good home for is standing in a kill pen or feed lot. This happens EVERY DAY, please don't let it happen to your horse. This guy was lucky. Many aren't. There are quite a few horses that we were not able to save because the calls were too late and they shipped to slaughter. I will always remember their names." ~ Diana Baker
