In January 2025, after seven exhausting days of doing everything in our power to save as many horses as we could, we were packing up to leave when we saw him. A horse, freshly dropped off, lying in a pen. His leg was shattered. He had already been weighed and tagged for slaughter.

​I sat with him. I stroked his face. I told him he was a good boy. I apologized for humanity. I told him we aren’t all bad. And I cried. Because at that moment, all I could do for him—the only thing left—was to buy him from the kill pen and give him a dignified ending. Something his owners should have done long before he ended up there.

This is the part of rescue I hate. Cleaning up the mess left by neglectful owners, making the hard choices, and doing right by the ones who had no one. Bart deserved better. And I refuse to let his story end there.

The All Seated in a Barn Horse Rescue Club was created in his honor.

Every month, the merchandise you purchase and the donations you make go directly toward rescuing horses and donkeys like Bart—who need help, in whatever form that looks like. Whether it’s urgent medical care, a safe place to land, or simply ensuring that they never experience suffering again, the funds raised through this club will change their lives. 

​Beyond that, your support helps us grow. It allows us to expand our facilities, to take in more horses and donkeys, and continue fighting for every single one we can. The bigger the Club gets, the more lives we save. 

IT'THAT SIMPLE.

​TOGETHER, we WILL build something that becomes their lifeline.
