Nexus equine rescue, a rehoming partner of the american society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (ASPCA) regional support center and an adoption partner of the ASPCA’s the right horse initiative (TRH), seeks to place horses in loving homes through adoption or temporarily foster them in order to create additional capacity at the facility for those horses in need.

“I think it’s really good for kids to be able to take an animal in to rehab or work with and get it to the point for someone else to enjoy,” says Carrie Hunt, who recently took part in Nexus Equine Rescue’s foster program, along with her 15-year-old daughter, McKayla.
Hunt sees it as an opportunity to spread joy that also happens to include great learning experiences.
