PARADISE STABLE HORSE RESCUE

Giving Horses a Second Chance!

Who We Are

"Giving Horses a Second Chance"

                                                                

Mission Statement: "Paradise Stable Horse Rescue provides a safe home for abused, neglected, or abandoned horses while promoting public awareness and education on the care and responsibilities of horse ownership."

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1.) Maximum Capacity for Volunteers: Thank you to everyone who has been volunteering and donating their time to help with the horses. We welcome our current volunteers to continue their work. However, we are no longer able to accommodate more volunteers. If you are interesting in working with the horses, please look into our sponsorship options. All sponsors are welcome to come and visit and groom their sponsored horses.

2.) Sponsors and Donations Needed: At the current time, we are in need of sponsors and donations to help with the care of the horses but to also help with allowing the Rescue to grow. We are receiving calls daily to take on more horses, but our pens are becoming full and we would love to expand. Monetary  donations are always welcome. We are also in need of bags of sweet feed and corn as well as wormers.

 

Who We Are:

Paradise Stable Horse Rescue was established 6 years ago by Lawrence and Bunnie Harasym. It is located northwest of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on a beautiful, scenic, and peaceful 80 acres. Since childhood, both Lawrence and Bunnie have had a love for animals and their strong interest in animal welfare has grown throughout the years. Within the first year of living on the acreage, the Harasyms discovered the horse auctions happening outside Saskatoon.  It is there that they made their first horse purchase and continue to bid against meat buyers to give horses a second chance.

Paradise Stable Horse Rescue currently has 10 horses in its care.  Some are permanent residents due to age and health conditions while others are available for adoption and new homes.  Paradise Stable Horse Rescue is dedicated to giving horses a second chance. Bunnie and Lawrence provide them with a safe home, kindness, and compassionate care while nurturing the horses back to health. Bunnie and Lawrence want to expand the rescue to include an indoor centre and arena for year round training, viewing & visitation of horses. In this centre, monthly horse auctions will also be held where meat buyers are not welcome and will not be allowed. This will ensure that the auction is for people interested in purchasing and selling horses as pets.

The rescue feels that responsible horse ownership includes not only raising but also the euthanasia of horses as well as compliance with the National Equine ID Program. We believe every horse has a purpose and they are not disposable. The rescue is currently working to educate horse owners on starting their own horse insurance policy which includes saving approximately $20 a month so that when a horse needs to be euthanized the money is available instead of relying on selling the horse to a meat buyer for its disposal. The rescue also plans to follow through with the National Equine ID program which tracks non registered horses and their diseases.

 

Funding & Donations

While the rescue is constantly growing, Lawrence and Bunnie fund the majority of it by themselves. There is no admission charge to visit the rescue, but visitors are asked to make a donation in support of the horses. People can help support the rescue through donations of cash, bags of feed, halters, lead ropes, and horse blankets as well as through volunteering. If you are interested in making a donation or in volunteering, please contact Bunnie or Lawrence.
