‘The safe place where we can go as we are…’

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

April, enjoying a quiet moment at the Rescue today…

This sweet and sensitive 13 year old mare first came to California Coastal Horse Rescue as a neglected and badly injured 4 month old foal with her seriously ill dam. April’s mama had done all she could for her filly and in her attempt to keep her baby fed, her neglected body was unable to survive the damage from their previous ordeal, and she passed away during her first week at the Rescue while under medical care.

After being treated at CCHR, and surviving the potentially life-ending injury and leg infection that she arrived with at the Rescue, April went on to be adopted and live happily with a family for about 8 years.

Sadly, April’s home, as happens so often with horses and other animal companions, was broken apart by a divorce. Although we were deeply saddened by the upsetting change in her home situation, it was never in doubt as to where she would come back to live: her first safe and loving home, CCHR.

April’s affected leg does not really allow for riding but we think she would be a great companion horse or might even be trained to do some light cart work. If you would like information about adopting or sponsoring April, please contact us at connect@calcoastalhorserescue.com.
