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.
