What It’s Really Like to Run a Horse Rescue | Equestrian Voices

We’ve all seen the pictures: the emaciated horse who looks ancient, but in actuality is in their prime, their coat dirty and their eyes dull. We’ve all also had the desire to just hook up our trailer (or commandeer one) and take them home to a better life.
Unfortunately, few of us have the resources or the means to follow through on that impulse - so how do we go about helping all of the horses who are in dire need? And what are the lives like of the people who do follow through and take the one (or in one of our guest’s case…more than one) horses back home - what do they want everyone to know about their lives and organizations? What do they really need from us to succeed and keep their doors open?
In this episode of Equestrian Voices, host Caroline Culbertson sits down with Tahlia Fischer from All Seated in a Barn and Olivia Alcorta from Storeybrook Farm.
“Once you go into rescue and you commit yourself to it, it’s this weight - And I don’t want to call it a burden, because you choose to take it on - but you can’t shut it off. It’s something you have to live with now. It’s a lot more than people realize.”
Olivia & Tahlia are here to provide these horses with a second chance, to offer love, care, and the opportunity for a safer future.
How can we best help and support these rescue organizations?
Tune in to hear their story, and discover how they’re making a profound impact in the lives of horses (and donkeys) in need. 🌟

I bought the most amazing old rope horse from Bowie. Was shocked someone let him go. He arrived spotless white, serviceably sound, total saint. I’m grateful.
