Can you help them?
These horses and others are at Camelot Stables in NJ every week in their "kill pen/feedlot". Prices are figured by the pound so on average they are 200.00 - 600.00. The owner, Frank Carper, is very easy to work with but he will not dicker on prices, so don't bother trying. Alot of people think that buying from a kill buyer is going against what rescues stand for, but in my view he's going to get this money one way or another so what's the harm in buying the horse and giving them a second chance. If we don't take them they will get slaughtered and how is that helping our cause? I will add information as I recieve it but it will be sketchy at best. If you will be traveling a long distance to purchase horses, please call him in advance to see what's still for sale. Frank said he normally ships every 2 weeks and tries to do it on Wednesday evenings.
We are NOT accepting donations for any of these horses, we are too full to take in anymore at this time. Lisa at Helping Hearts Equine Rescue has this list with pictures on her website (I can't upload the pics on here).
