Friday, July 30th... From a race track yesterday, we said hello to a mare with the name Dixieland Classic. She is beautiful. The mare comes to us with a fractured ankle. She needs 9 months of doing very little. Free HBO weekends. Chopped carrots. A walk in the park, if we had a park.
We said goodbye to Sylvan Hill, off to live with Lee & Kathy. A well mannered gelding, we called him Sylvie. Sometimes we called him Hill. In a hurry, and his name became Syl. And by now you are thinking, this guy has nothing to write about on a nice cool Friday morning.
more to come

Located
in Northern California, TB Friends is dedicated to the
rescue and placement of horses that have been abandoned
or neglected. Usually these horses arrive from the race
track. The horses obtained by TB Friends are often saved
from a trip to rendering facilities in Mexico or Canada.

When possible TB Friends takes
care to select horses well suited to make the transformation
to riding mount or show horse. Our proximity to the
bay area race tracks, along with the throwaway nature
of the racing industry, unfortunately results in a situation
where there are many horses in need of rescue, and therefore
many horses from which to choose.

At TB Friends we manage to rescue
about two hundred horses every year. When we place a
horse there is no charge for the care that we provide
them here at Shelton Farms. We only ask for the cost
of a horse's rescue and transportation to the farm.
For most horses this amounts to less than $1000 dollars.

Sadly, we can not save them
all. We are limited by the number of horses that we
can care for at any one time. However, as we find homes
for the horses we have rescued, we replace them by rescuing
others. For this reason we ask you to consider purchasing
a horse from our farm. Not only are you likely to obtain
a beautiful animal, but you will also help us to save
more horses.
