Thanks
for thinking about the horses and visiting this page. Please visit
often and scroll all the way down because even ADOPTED horses run into
trouble and need assistance from time to time. We operate on a
shoe string budget and when a former supported or adopted horse owner
ceases support for their horse without warning, it puts us in a real
bind. Yes, life happens........but the speed at which a horse's
"family" can suddenly yank their life out from under them is stunning.
Our policy is one of the things that separates us from the others.
We don't adopt out and turn our backs on the horses from that moment
on........but it does make our mission a lot more difficult than a
standard "rescue". Thanks for YOUR support. We hope to count on
YOU to help us feed the horses that run into trouble.

Unlike
most days at
Rainbow
Bridge, this day dawned cold and gray, damp as a swamp and as dismal as
could be imagined. All of the recent arrivals had no idea what to think,
as they had never experienced a day like this before. But the animals
who had been waiting for their beloved people knew exactly what was
going on and started to gather at the pathway leading to The Bridge to
watch.
It wasn't long before an elderly
animal came into view, head hung low and tail dragging. The other
animals, the ones who had been there for a while, knew what his story
was right away, for they had seen this happen far too often.
He approached slowly, obviously in
great emotional pain, but with no sign of injury or illness. Unlike all
of the other animals waiting at The Bridge, this animal had not been
restored to youth and made healthy and vigorous again. As he walked
toward The Bridge, he watched all of the other animals watching him. He
knew he was out of place here and the sooner he could cross over, the
happier he would be.
But, alas, as he approached The
Bridge, his way was barred, he would not be able to pass. Only those
animals who were with their people could pass over
Rainbow
Bridge.
With no place else to turn to, the
elderly animal turned towards the fields before The Bridge and saw a
group of other animals like himself, also elderly and infirm. They
weren't playing, but rather simply lying on the green grass, forlornly
staring out at the pathway leading to The Bridge. And so, he took his
place among them, watching the pathway and waiting.
One of the newest arrivals at The
Bridge didn't understand what he had just witnessed and asked one of the
animals that had been there for a while to explain it to him.
You see, that poor animal was a
rescue. He was turned in to rescue just as you see him now, an older
animal with his fur graying and his eyes clouding. He never made it out
of rescue and passed on with only the love of his rescuer to comfort him
as he left his earthly existence. Because he had no family to give his
love to, he has no one to escort him across The Bridge.
The first animal thought about this
for a minute and then asked, "So what will happen now?" As he was about
to receive his answer, the clouds suddenly parted and the gloom lifted.
Approaching The Bridge could be seen a single person and among the older
animals, a whole group was suddenly bathed in a golden light and they
were all young and healthy again, just as they were in the prime of
life.
"Watch, and see" said the second
animal. A second group of animals from those waiting came to the pathway
and bowed low as the person neared. At each bowed head, the person
offered a pat on the head or a scratch behind the ears. The newly
restored animals fell into line and followed her towards The Bridge.
They all crossed The Bridge together.
"What happened?"
"That was a rescuer." The animals you
saw bowing in respect were those who found new homes because of her
work. They will cross when their new families arrive. Those you saw
restored were those who never found homes. When a rescuer arrives, they
are allowed to perform one, final act of rescue. They are allowed to
escort those poor animals that they couldn't place on earth, across The
Rainbow
Bridge.
