2025 VEWS ALUMNI

Gorgeous OTTB mare Piper arrived at VEWS as an owner surrender in the Fall of 2024.  With her strikingly-good looks and kind eye, Piper soon won the hearts of VEWS volunteers.  Like most rescue horses, Piper came with some baggage.  Not a fan of grooming and petting, Piper was at home, calm, and relaxed under saddle.  She rode well and demonstrated her proficiency as a riding horse.  Now with her own person and a routine she can count on for the rest of her days, Piper is living out her life surrounded by love, care, and friends.  We will miss you Piper!

Pearl moved to the same sanctuary as her pal JoJo!  The two mares arrived together as owner surrenders in November 2024; both very thin and ill.  Now the two besties can live out their lives on the same farm!  What a lovely ending for two sweet, senior mares.  JoJo moved to the sanctuary in February, and was waiting for the arrival of Pearl. We couldn't be happier for these two and wish them all good things in their twilight years.

JoJo arrived at VEWS in November 2024. She was thin but had a beautiful spark in her eyes. Her gorgeous coloring and quiet ways really endeared her to volunteers who pitched in to make this senior mare feel the TLC she needed.  JoJo was diagnosed with several health issues to include EPM and Cushings but with the help of our vet and VEWS volunteers, soon began a course of treatment to help this good ole girl feel better.  JoJo moved to a retirement sanctuary in February 2025. Now she lives out her days in the comfort and quiet of care and attention that she always deserved.  Best of luck JoJo and enjoy your new home.  We will miss you!
