Abandoned Horse Earns Career at Horse Rescue

A local community and A Home For Every Horse sponsors band together to rehome abandoned horse.

Spring of 2022, I received a phone call from an old college friend, Mattie Alewine, in dire need of finding a home for an abandoned horse. After posting the horse in a local community group on Facebook she had been claimed. I assumed she did not need my help anymore and that was the end of that. If only every story was so simple.

Unfortunately, we found out that Cheyenne's owners didn't want her back. Mattie offered to haul her back home for them and they insisted it was impossible to load her on a trailer. Each additional suggestion was followed with more excuses. Even worse, their story led us to believe that Cheyenne didn't escape their home, but she was placed on this ranch. They wouldn't share their name, address, or any contact information. Mattie had then reached out to law enforcement, but we didn't like their solutions either.
