Success Stories

Here are just a few Happy Tales from our Rescue....

Welcome Vinnie!
The Summerwinds is happy to announce a new "mascot" at the SummerWinds Stables! This little guy is such a delight and will participate in our many youth programs. His first debut is with a school group on October 27th, where he will visit the school and meet the kids! We'll be sure to keep you updated!




Jetting, adopted by one of our Board Members as a green-broke gelding just about off the track is now doing dressage and natural horsemanship in sunny California! According to his owner, Jet sparkles like a copper penny and is the "mane squeeze" in her life. We are so pleased that this horse has gone so far in his life thanks to her hard work and dedication!



Lord of Everything

Our Lord Don is a keeper, thanks to his previous owners he is retired forever at our farm. This horse is loved by all our volunteers - adults and children alike. He plays Parelli games, partakes in our clinics, does demonstrations, and is the most perfect gentleman you've ever met. His favorite person is the one who brings treats!!! Don just got his teeth floated, thanks to our wonderful dentist! He constantly watches out for all the horses - especially his favorite Twister pony! We love this horse very much!






Second Chance Sebastian


Sebastian got a second chance at a new career at our rescue! He was adopted by a wonderful gal who is currently training him in natural horsemanship. The two can be seen out on the trails, spending time together as they bond. This special guy, a great grandson of Secretariat, wants for nothing in his new home! We wish them many happy trails!





Space Soverign


Many folks liked Space but only one gal stole his heart! Space now resides with Sebastian at a wonderful farm in Delaware. The gal who adopted him spoils him rotten, rides him weekly and has spent much of her allowance making sure his every need is met! They are a wonderful pair and we hope to see them in the show ring this year!



I am an Animal Rescuer

My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the drive to fulfill their needs
I take in helpless, unwanted, homeless creatures
without planning or selection
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
And I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body too many times to count
I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I will hand raise a field mouse
And make friends with a vulture
I know of no creature unworthy of my time
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven
But I believe there are
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind
Some may think we are master of the animals
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned
War and Abuse make me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind
We are a quiet but determined army
And we are making a difference every day
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago, was too weak to eat
By the love of those who I've been privileged to rescue
I have been rescued
I know what true unconditional love really is
for I've seen it shining in the eyes of so many
Grateful for so little
I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full
