ABUSED RESCUE HORSE~ All Four "FEET" NAILED INCORRECTLY ~ Calming Chiropractic Session!

Ezekiel is a beautiful, 17 year old, Belgian (breed) gelding draft horse. Rescued from slaughter 2 years ago. He was severely lame on all 4 limbs and on his way to a kill pen when Christine (owner/founder) of Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue bought him back and started to clean up his "feet" and get him expert medical care. The original owner drove nails into the live part of his feet, causing infections and severe lameness on all four legs. The original owner was not a ferrier and continued to abuse Ezekiel. Eventually giving up and taking Ezekiel to a kill pen. Christine, the rescue goddess, purchased Ezekiel at auction and therefore saved his life from the slaughterhouse.
Ezekiel is a happy horse now, and is living out a peaceful and safe life on the Gentle Giants Draft Horse Farm. His feet have been improving, and he can walk slowly and graze pain-free in the pasture.

Today we gave him an overall animal chiropractic adjustment. He is one big guy! A GENTLE GIANT! Must see!
Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue took him in the beginning of 2020.

He has gained 400 lbs. since he has been at Gentle Giants Draft Horse rescue. He still is underweight and needs to gain another 400 lbs.

Gentle Giants Draft Horse Rescue was formed to facilitate the rescue of Draft and Draft Cross horses from slaughter, abuse, and neglect.

The Primary Function of the Rescue
GGDHR promotes the benefits and uses of Draft horses of all breeds as trail mounts, schooling mounts, and competition mounts. We educate the public through the use of brochures, pamphlets, and public presentations on the topics of: horse slaughter and cruelty, the responsibilities of horse ownership, the over-population and over-breeding of horses, and how over-breeding contributes to the horse slaughter industry. Learn more about our educational outreach here.

Slaughter is a highly profitable market and most of the public is unaware that the buyers for the slaughterhouses frequent public auctions to purchase their horses. We attend the same public auctions, choose the Draft horses we feel are the most viable candidates for rescue, and then outbid the meat buyer.

We transport the horses to our facility, where the horses are quarantined for a minimum of 21 days for illness. During that time, we begin to evaluate each individual horse and learn its personality and training level on the ground and under saddle. We ride the horses under many different circumstances, and evaluate for what level of rider the horse would best be suited. During this time, the horse also receives any necessary veterinary care, farrier care, dental care, and training.

When the horses have completed their quarantine, they are available to be placed into adoptive homes under a strict contract. The horses are advertised on our website and on the internet to help find suitable adoptive homes. Each horse is evaluated with its prospective adopter, and if we feel the horse and rider are a suitable match for one another, then the adopter may apply to adopt that horse. At that time, GGDHR would perform a background and reference check, and may at times also conduct home visits, if deemed necessary.

GGDHR is primarily funded by adoption fees, private donations, and sponsorships which facilitate the rescue of future draft horses from slaughter.
