Due to the large number of horses being abandoned in these economically difficult times or because of the crash of the racing industry, Refuge RR is at wit's end trying to find temporary or permanent foster homes.  Without foster homes, we could be limited as to how many horses we can save from slaughter and euthanasia.  Consider sharing your home with a rescue horse.  If this is not feasible, then perhaps you could sponsor one or make a donation.If you can foster please email Karin at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for your consideration and support!

Most of the horses that are sent to the refuge have had very tough lives , many have had
injuries , are untrained  and some are no longer able to be ridden.Many horses have worked very hard for people who have damaged them and then discarded them.Foster homes are badly needed to help them recover mentally and physically .If you are this type of person with a big heart , then please contact us !  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Refuge RR is asking desperately for your help to cover some vet bills
that have occured over the past few months. We now owe over $ 15,000.00 .
They are the bills for ;

Monty   the pony who had to have a special surgery at Ste-Hyacinth hospital
for an undecended testical that had complications.

Sydney  the gentle Paint gelding that unexpectedly fell ill and was administered
IV fluids and antibiotics for seven days . He is much better now .

Clark  beautiful Thoroughbred who was castrated but also had complications.

Twilight  one year old Standardbred , castration.

Robbie  the refuge's mascot St-Bernard who welcomes everyone at the gate.
She had to have emergency surgery after our neighbour carelessly broke her leg in half.
He refused to pay her vet bill.

Zephra  the refuge's (pretend) guard Rottweiller who was left to us after her owner
passed away.She had to have emergency surgery after her bladder ruptured.

Sugar Jazz  the newest horse the refuge rescued.She is a 12 year old Appaloosa mare
who was owned by a vet and still not cared for ....At least 250 lbs under weight , her teeth
are so bad they were an inch too long ,which caused open sores on her tongue and will require
much dentistery to resolve.Her ears had small painful but removable tumors and were so full of mites
that it affected her hearing.

Cedar  the declawed castrated male cat that was hit by a car in a neighbouring town , nobody
would claim. He was left for a few days without medical treatment until the refuge found out,  
we then  brought him to an emergency clinic. He had minor injuries but sustained major burns
on 3/4 of his body from being bounced around under the car.After treatment and lots of pain
 relief meds. , he has grown all his hair back and is extremely happy and friendly.

Please consider making a contribution however big or small  .
 You can donate on line or send a cheque directly to the refuge at;

Thank you for your consideration and generosity.

The refuge would like to say a special thank you to a St-Lazare family
that has gone out of their way to help the horses here at RR.
Their two incredible daughters  Brianna and Kennedy, for the last
few years, have asked that friends and family donate money to the refuge 
instead of  birthday gifts .Brianna also organized an amazing fundraiser which
was a magic show by Ted Outerbridge at John Rennie high school last May.
 It was a fun and fantastic evening which will be remembered by many.
This special family has also fostered and adopted four horses from the refuge.

So a big "Thank you " again to Brianna, Kennedy, Sandra and Tony , you truly are an
example to others on how we can be compassionate , make a difference  and change the world... 

Best regards,

Rose
