Nellie arrived to the Rescue in April of this year (2025) from an owner surrender. We named her “Nellie” because she symbolizes brightness, light, and strength.

We don’t know much about her past life, but we do know that her previous owners, somewhere along the way, stopped caring for her hoof care. We are dedicated to doing everything it takes to improve her quality of life. Our top-notch farrier, Kik Corona, displayed a great deal of patience and kindness on the first stage of trimming her severely overgrown hooves! The rehabilitation process will take a great deal of time as we slowly allow her entire body to adjust to the changes.

Nellie has shown us all her beautiful heart and her gift for healing. Once healed and ready, she will be a part of the Outreach Program and the Led By Horses Program. Please become her monthly sponsor today to help her healing journey!
