Spring Hill Announces New H.E.R.O. Program!

H.E.R.O. = Horse Educating & Retraining Operation is an ASPCA sponsored project that supports professional training programs to qualified horses. All proceeds from this project will continue to support this program AND to help with the rehabilitation of those horses that have serious medical conditions or special needs.

HERO’s are Spring Hill rescued horses who are elected through a series of specific qualifications such as temperament and disposition, soundness and potential ability. If a horse is deemed a HERO candidate, he/she is sent to a qualified professional trainer where their progress is monitored. At the end of their training session, the trainer evaluates the horse, his/her value and the best suited home that would complement the horse’s ability. Adopting a horse through our HERO program provides an alternative to purchasing a horse, as our horses are thoroughly evaluated and owners receive support through the professional trainer and Spring Hill staff even after the adoption.

Spring Hill spends thousands of dollars every year rescuing and rehabilitating horses (and other animals in need). We are a non-profit organization that depends on donations and fund raising programs to support our much needed services. In essence, a HERO’s adoption fee will help fund other the veterinary care, rehabilitation, and training of the other horses in need to make them healthy and safe to successfully adopt into loving homes.

Spring Hill Rescues Three Horses in Critical Condition (Update)
03/14/13

On Tuesday, January 15, 2013, Spring Hill Horse Rescue was called to an emergency response to help three horses found in dire circumstances in Chittenden County, VT. More information is available on their condition on day of arrival under our news section.

Thanks to the support of so many people including folks from as far as the UK, we were able to purchase much needed heavy duty gate panels so that all 3 horses may enjoy their first time outside in many years. Willie has had extensive hoof work and dental care. Both Lolly and Dolly have also received much needed hoof care; we are still continuing to work on their trust issues. Here are videos of each of them on their first day out taken on March 3rd,2013. Although a little lengthy they are well worth watching. Enjoy!

Here's Lolly's first time outside since, well...who knows how long. So exciting! http://youtu.be/vV92xCF3wkU

I'm so excited to show this video of Dolly's first time outside! This was filmed this morning. Beware - this is like 20 minutes long so grab a snack or a cup of coffee and enjoy! http://youtu.be/9uAnMJ3gIfU

This is footage of Willie's first outing in the daylight taken last week. Again, it's kind of lengthy but endearing :-) Enjoy!http://youtu.be/sBjKxT4KBnM

We are continuing to work feverishly to try to save these poor, terrified horses who have suffered years of horrific neglect and trauma. They need our help, and we need your help. The expenses to nurture them back to health are going to be very high and it will take months, and possibly years of extensive rehabilitation just to address their physical needs.
