Announcement of Platinum Level of Transparency for 2025
We are excited to announce that Happened by Chance Horses Inc. (HBCH) has received the Platinum Level of Transparency for 2025 through Candid. This prestigious recognition highlights our commitment to transparency and accountability in our operations and financial practices.
The Need for Support
While HBCH may not frequently post on Facebook or social media platforms requesting donations, we want to emphasize that we still need your help. The donations we receive are crucial for the ongoing care of the 39 horses currently residing at our rescue. Each horse requires significant resources to ensure they live healthy and fulfilling lives. HBCH provides this for each horse that comes through our doors until they can be adopted in to new, loving and responsible homes. While they wait on their next home, we offer them safety, care and security, sometimes for many years.
Understanding Rescue Beyond the Basics
Through observing posts from other rescues, HBCH has noticed a concerning trend of negativity within the community when fundraisers are posted. It is essential to understand that animal rescue goes far beyond merely paying bail, receiving law enforcement seizures, or handling owner surrenders.
Rescue work involves a comprehensive approach to animal welfare, which includes:
• Quality Feed: Providing high-quality feed and hay is vital for maintaining the health and well-being of our horses. Proper nutrition helps prevent various health issues and supports their overall development.
• Hoof Care: Regular hoof care is crucial for preventing lameness and other foot-related problems. This includes routine trimming and shoeing as needed, which can be costly but is necessary for their mobility and comfort.
• Veterinary Requirements: Routine veterinary care is essential for monitoring the health of our horses. This includes vaccinations, dental care, parasite control, and any necessary medical treatments. These services are critical in ensuring that each horse remains healthy and free from disease or recover from injury.
While we may not always be vocal about our needs on social media, the support from our community is invaluable in helping us provide the best possible care for our horses. We appreciate any assistance you can offer as we continue this important work.
Thank you!
