Horses In Need

Occasionally, TIER is alerted to horses in dire need of assistance - from abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc.  We will post information about these horses here in hopes of raising funds, rehoming, supplies, transport, and other needs by networking with you to help them.

TIER & Falconridge Equine Rescue are working together to help this mare. We have named her Sugar Bear.

On 2/16/10 2 horses were taken from the Arlington Heights area of Riverside. Both horses are older mares. 1 horse is a gray horse (pictures to follow) and the other horse is a dark bay quarter/thoroughbred mare (pictures attached)

Duchess is owned by Linda Moeller and she is beyond devastated that her companion of many years has been taken. Duchess is 29 years old, 15.3 hands, dark brown almost black bay with a wide white stripe of her face with a recent scar across her forehead over her eyes. She has 3 white socks, left front club foot with shoes on the front feet only. She often hangs her tongue out. Linda is offering a REWARD for the return of her horse! Please contact Linda at 949-633-9711 or lmoeller38910@roadrunner.com

More info to follow on Rose, the other horse taken.

Please forward this on to you horse community to saturate the word about these missing horses. If you have any ideas on how to spread the word we would appreciate your suggestions!! Owner of both Rose 7 Duchess are offering a reward for their return!

Subject: Riverside Horses Found!!!!

Today Allison & Linda were reunited with Rose (gray mare) & Duchess (dark bay mare)!!!! The e-mail I sent out on Thurs was forwarded & cross posted to so many people and it made it to the right person! The horses were taken by 2 teenagers that wanted a horse. They then took them to Mira Loma where they boarded them at a couples home that boards horses. They groomed them, rode them, wormed them, bought grain, and thankfully took very good care of them! But that doesn’t excuse the crime nor does it excuse the anguish they put Linda & Allison through. They both do have a prior record and warrants so they will most likely be serving jail time. The couples whose home they were at got my e-mail forwarded to them today and when she opened her heart sank as she realized those horses were in her back yard. They called Linda & Allison and they were at her house within 30 minutes.

We are just so thankful at how quickly the e-mail got around and what a powerful tool it turned out to be! I would like to trace back who forwarded the original e-mail so I can thank them! It was so heart warming to witness the out pouring of concern, ideas, suggestions, & help that came from people we have never meet! It also brought Linda (Duchess’ owner) in contact to people she hasn’t had contact with in 10 years.

Attached is a picture of the reunion!!!! Again thank you everyone for taking the time to read the e-mail and sending it along to your contacts!

Rocket/Big Red, Tsan Tsant, and Prancer now have their own pages.
Thank you for helping them get home for Christmas!
