.Dennis and Jan Bounds, started taking in horses
around their home town, of Salem Mo. in 2002.
Before long word had spread, if you saw a horse in need, they were the ones to call. They are great with the horses, others have given up on. (A friend)
Hello, and welcome to our Rescue. We work with the horse's, mind, body & soul. The first thing we do is ask for Gods help. Then we work on the whole horse, not just the physical. Horses are amazing creatures.They are forgiving, & always learn to love, & trust again. It takes a little longer on some than others. But we believe all, can get there.We want to give our horses a job, where they can help children. And give kids a job, where they can help horses. We would love to work with disabled children, as well as Autistic kids, & troubled kids. Equine therapy, is amazing for children. We would love to share our knowledge, & facility with our community. We are in the process of applying for a Grant, to get things up and running. We plan to teach daily care for Equine. We will cover nutrition, grooming, hoof care, teeth floating, & de-worming.Plus teach training the natural way, learning the horses' natural prey instinct. We do not allow any harsh training equipment, or abusive training methods. We believe, if you do your job right, the horse will want to please you. Here at: Bounds Horse Haven Rescue, Inc. NO horse is unwanted. It is just a matter of finding the right job, for each one.
"Your horse can only be as brave as you are."
Horses change lives. They give our young people confidence and self esteem. They provide peace and tranquility to troubled souls- they give us hope!
Even when your horse is gone they still live in your heart forever, and when it is time for you to be sent home to them, you will find that special horse again.
