Today’s video is episode four of a series that I just recently ran across. The Horse’s Mouth tells the inspirational stories of horses & their people.
Episode 4
Each episode is dedicated to a different horse lover, their equestrian facilities and their horsey friends. The fourth episode interviews Kathy Bartley founder of Bear Valley Rescue in Sundre, Alberta. Kathy and her husband Mike rescue horses from auctions, SPCA seizures and owners who can’t afford their animals. This episode shares about the rescue (and the more than 50,000 horses a year sent to slaughter in Alberta alone) it also discusses the costs associated with horse ownership for potential horse owners.

30 Year Commitment
It is fair to say that a healthy horse could easily live 30 years and that is a huge commitment for both your time and your wallet. Potential horse owners should research all of the costs involved and ask a lot of questions. Visiting stables and talking to owners, trainers and grooms is the best way to get the lowdown straight from the proverbial horse’s mouth.
