Buying horses from kill pens: a story
Adopting a horse didn’t go very well for Bethany the first time around, but she didn’t give up. It all started when she and her family bought a farm, and she began looking for horses to bring home.
“I was looking at kill pen rescues, and my daughter Cassidy came across a black horse,” Bethany says. “I really didn’t know a lot at the time, so I ended up getting her and another horse.” They eagerly brought their two new horses home, and that’s when the trouble started.
Two perfect horses
At first glance, Ruby and Ryker might not sound like very valuable horses. Ruby is blind, and Ryker had a career-ending injury at some point that caused him to be permanently lame. They’d both been passed around until they landed at GRG Ranch Horse Rescue, where their lives would change forever.
