ONE SUCCESS STORY

Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary (HTFAS) and "Nomad"

Accredited by Global Foundation for Animal Sanctuaries and Standardbred Transition Alliance, Happy Trails Farm Animal Sanctuary (HTFAS) rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes criminally abused, neglected, and abandoned farm animals. One horse that has felt the impact of the BEWF grant is Nomad. This handsome 25-year-old Quarter Horse somehow found himself at an auction. Alone and blind. The team at HTFAS saw his gentle spirit and kind demeanor immediately, along with his pressing need for medical care. Nomad received that much needed Veterinary care which restored him to feeling healthy and confident. The best part? He found a perfect family to call his own! He is living the dream of morning smooches, afternoon grazing, and a safe and comfortable stall, along with companionship of another horse previously adopted from HTFAS. Most importantly, Nomad is feeling the love he always deserved. HTFAS states, “A huge thank you to each and every supporter who made Nomad's dream of belonging a reality. There is no way that we at HTFAS could rescue, rehabilitate and re-home horses in need without the support of the community, and for that we are eternally grateful to BEWF for the generous support shown to all the equines in our care.” Brennan Equine Welfare Fund is pleased to partner with HTFAS, and gives thanks to all donors who made this, and all 2023 grants, possible.
