H.E.R.O was founded to help those that can not speak for themselves....to be a voice for the profound and strong animal we call the "Horse". The image of  the equine represents many things to horse lovers of all kinds; freedom, life, strength and friendship. We at H.E.R.O want to preserve that as much as we are able!


 

 Our beautiful young gelding "Spirit" , born Friday, March 13, 2009 is looking for a forever home! He is a well behaved 14 hand young gelding in perfect health and would make a great companion. He is accustomed to being handled by women and is a love!

History and Development of the Horse

Introduction to Equine Management

Through the study of the evolution of the horse we hope to get a better understanding of how and why horses think and react the way they do. We'll look at how the modern day horse adapted and flourished when other species went extinct.

An exciting introduction to caring for and understanding horses.  If you are a first time owner, or a caretaker of 30 horses you have to know the basics of handling, nutrition, first-aid, hoof care, and daily management.  This course gives an in-depth overview of all aspects of horse care and equine behavior.

Course# 45108 9/7/10-12/07/10

Tuesdays 6:30-9:00 pm

Course# 45105 9/2/10-12/9/10

Look how far she has come!! Thanks to the gentle hands of Trent Benton, Lily has become quite the little lady.  

Lily was unapproachable and untouchable when she came to H.E.R.O.  She had been kept tied in a stall with minimal contact and care.

Trent of Star's Peak Valley Ranch uses the practice of Natural Horsemanship in the training of horses and as you can see from the photos this kind hand has been the turning point in Lily's life. Please visit Trent at www.starspeakvalleyranch.com and let him know just how much we appreciate his work with this lucky rescue.  

 

 


H.E.R.O is an equine rescue in  North Carolina, established by volunteers with the care of equines as our main priority. As we get established we need help from our community to help the equines that need our services. We need volunteers, adopters, quarantine facilities, foster homes, and much more. Interested?
