Foster A Horse

One of the most important things you can do for PER is to provide a temporary home for a horse in need--a foster home. When we are suddenly faced with taking on 10+ horses, just the logistics of where to place the equines--who often are malnourished--becomes a serious issue. Without available foster homes, PER would be unable to help many horses in need.
Foster homes offer a place of refuge for an equine, a place where food and love abound, until an appropriate adoptive home can be found for him or her.
PER acknowledges the cost that homes incur while caring for a horse. So we COVER ALL EXPENSES. All you have to do is offer a place in your pasture with shelter and have love in your heart to give.
Often the best thing these rescued horses need is to see that human beings can be kind. A gentle touch, a few treats, some soft words, (even a lullaby) can do wonders for a horse whose spirit has been broken.
And the reward of fostering a horse is ENORMOUS. Seeing a horse come alive with you, seeing his body fill out and his coat start to shine, seeing the look of gratitude in his eyes--there is nothing like it.

Wlker Walker

Walker is a 11 yr. old TB gelding. He will do well in a home that is familiar with handling thoroughbreds, since he can be a little “pushy”. He is a big boy, so an experienced handler would be more suitable for him. He gets along well with other horses, but would do better with a more dominant horse. He would also require a home with lots of turnout and no stalling.
