                                                 About SAVED

 

Horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules endure shocking forms of abuse and neglect at the hands of those supposed to care for them and keep them safe. As seasoned Connecticut horsewomen, photographer Sarah Grote and author Andrea Steele bring awareness to how equines come to be at risk, and introduce you to the Connecticut people who work tirelessly to rebuild the lives of these animals.

 

Learn how the fine line of what constitutes criminal abuse and neglect makes lawful convictions difficult. Having people surrender their animals to a private rescue is usually the best answer.

 

In sensitive, revealing, and inspirational stories of nine Connecticut rescues and retirement facilities, Steele and Grote explain what occurs from backyard farms—to large stables—to the halls of Congress, and the western rangeland where America’s Mustangs roam free. Learn specific ways we can join together to stop the neglect and abuse.
