One Year Mark

Everyone check out the horses we have for adoption - we really have some lovely horses right now that would love a new home for the summer!

We are having a car wash this Saturday at 11 am at our farm in Northport.  Bring your dirty cars to support Project Sage!  Thank you to Cathy for running our car washes, they are always a huge success.

Tomorrow is one year since we moved into our farm in Northport.  We have rescued tons of horses over the past year and it has been a year to remember.  Many Project Sage horses have found their forever homes and I'm happy to say some of them are boarded right here at our farm.  It's amazing to see them blossom into riding parters for their new owners.  During this past year we rescued our 100th horse, Halia, meaning remembrance of a loved one.  For Sage I rescue all these horses in his memory and to keep his legacy alive.  When Sage passed my mom told me "everything happens for a reason".  At that time in my life I rememebered thinking how unfair it was that was best friend was taken away from me.  Our two short years together were just not enough.  For anyone that has lost a horse the feeling is gut wrenching.  I felt as if someone had taken away apart of my soul.  All I had left was his halter and a lock of his hair.  Five years later, and 100 horses rescued, I suppose everything does happen for a reason.  I lost my best friend but 100 horses are now happily in forever homes and in our rescue barn.  I know Sage is proud of every horse I rescue.  The Project Sage horses are lucky, they have a guardian angel watching over all of them.  I still grieve over the loss of my best friend but I feel as if he's still with me, everytime I bid on a horse at the auction, load a rescued horse on the trailer to head to saftey, or kiss a horse goodbye once it's found its forever home.  Now I think ahead at my next year here at this farm and can only hope it will be as successful as the last.  Thank you to everyone who has made this year so special for me, there are way to many people to list but I love you all!  The Project Sage family has grown so much this year and I am truly blessed!

Keep spreading our horses around so they can find their special new homes!  Thank you everyone, enjoy the week!

I'm back!

Sorry I've been MIA for so long!  The rescue has been so busy and I have not had 5 minutes to get on the computer!  As you can tell we've rescued a bunch of new horses, we were able to rescue 6 horses at New Holland yesterday with a baby on the way!  We've taken in 3 owner surrenders this month as well.  They are all doing well and will be looking for their forever homes soon.  Please donate if you can do the new horses we have taken in!  Donations via paypal are appreciated to projectsagehorserescue@gmail.com.  We have a pregnant mare that is due within the month and donations are needed for her vet care. 

The summer is here and all the horses are looking for forever homes.  Please post them on different blogs, facebook, websites, etc, so we can find them forever homes.  It's with your help that we can continue to rescue horses. 

Yesterday I reached a mile stone in my rescue career, I rescued my 100th horse.  Yesterday was also 6 years since Sage passed away.  It was a bitter sweet day for me, I still mourn the lost of my best friend each year on June 20th but this year I headed to New Holland in search of a horse that would be my 100th rescue.  I found her quickly, a stunning bay TB mare.  In honor of Sage we rescued her, her name is now Halia, meaning remembrance of a loved one.  She is the lucky horse that caught my eye and will forever be safe.  She is now in PA for quarantine and will be available for adoption after she puts on tons of weight! 

I will post my auction story this week along with pictures of our new rescue horses.  If you want the latest updates please be my friend on facebook!  My name is "Brittany - Project Sage".  I post tons of pictures through out my day to keep everyone updated as to what goes on around our farm! 

Again, check out the new horses and see what we have available for adoption!
