Re-Ride Given Reward: Quarter Horse Adoption Program Honored

Boulder, Colo. The most rewarding part of being a rescue is providing the horses a second chance at a new career and a brighter future.

That’s what Kerri Burke of Re-Ride Quarter Horse Adoption Program, Inc. (http://www.reridequarterhorseadoption.com) believes.

“Most of the horses coming through our program are former show horses,” Burke said, “and many can return to a less intense show career with rehabilitation and time.”

The non-profit volunteer rescue located in Marysville, Ohio was recognized for its dedication on April 11 at the Equine Affaire Ohio. Every year, nearly a dozen Quarter Horses from the rescue are matched to new homes, many who have never owned a horse before.

“Our program strives to bring new people into the industry and our adoption horses are often suitable for beginners who want to show but need an affordable place to start on a safe mount,” Burke said. “Quarter Horses are very versatile so they are suitable for many disciplines.”

To honor Burke and the other volunteers at the Re-Ride Quarter Horse Adoption Program, the sponsors for A Home For Every Horse, including WeatherBeeta, Zoetis, Tractor Supply and Purina, recognized the rescue at the Equine Affaire and presented them with some horse-care gifts to take back to the rescue, including a new WeatherBeeta blanket, dozens of tubes of Strongid paste and a $50 Tractor Supply Gift Card.

“The partnership with A Home for Every Horse allows rescues to be reached by a larger population of prospective adopters,” Burke said. “It’s very instrumental in finding horses a home.”
