How far we’ve come

Nina’s personal

property in South Knox

County

2000 – 2003 Quarantine at the Humane Society of Tennessee Valley in South Knoxville

2002 – 2006Donated property

in South Knox County

Plenty of “Manual Labor”

required

No Water or Electric

available on the property

During the first 5 years we had the pleasure of helping 160 horses and met many unforgettable ones, each with their own story.

Some had happy outcomes, and others, not so happy.

A few of those were…

Abby rescued from auction

Abby Today

Buck

Rescued from a 3’

tall chicken

coop

Special Braces

His feet now

Buck’s House

“Ebony”Blind and bound for

slaughter for human consumption

From Slaughter Truck to

Show Ring

“Sadie”Her water

source was the family swimming

pool

“Sadie” Amazing what a little

food and clean water

can do!

“Miracle”She was only with us two weeks, but

the imprint she made on our hearts

will never be forgotten.

MIRACLE

In 2006 big things started happening for

HHT.We moved to a donated private facility in West

Knoxville.

Modern equipment was donated and purchased to help our volunteers do

their tasks in a safe, efficient manner.

Volunteers become the heart of HHT

Our new public facility opened up

many opportunities for HHT!

HHT shares our success.

$760 donated to Anderson Sling!

$250 donated to a water tank for

STAR

2008HHT started our

Emergency Rescue Fund after being faced with some difficult rescues.

“Angel”In 93 degree

weather, it took three people 2 ½ hours to get her

loaded because we didn’t have adequate

resources.

“Wonder”Blind and abandoned

on a mountain, too weak to walk herself

onto the trailer.

HHT receives Rescue Training

“Rescue Glide” our first piece of equipment.

Even with all the bad, God never

gave us more than we could handle.

“Brave Warrior”Dragged behind a pick-up truck.

“Brave Warrior” after the wounds healed.

“Rainaway” great grandson of Secretariat

Now a celebrity at Secretariat’sbirth place in

Virginia

He sure had the last laugh!

Old or Young

We’ve cared for them all

January 2009

brings HHT the biggest

challenge yet.

We had our work cut out for us.

Once again Volunteers dig in to help the horses.

“Birdie”Pregnant mare,

hit by a car, comes to us

for care.

Volunteers once again step up to help this

horse who required us to help her defecate. For

three weeks she received love and care before

passing over the rainbow bridge.

Some came with babies, while others

delivered here.
