     Blair's Equine Rescue is a non-breed specific organization dedicating itself to the rescue, healing and new home placement for abused, neglected and mistreated horses.

     Blair's is the brainchild of Marcia Blair Moss... an avid horse-lover and all around "critter person" : ) Marcia has experienced and seen, first-hand, what neglect, abuse and injury can do to a horse and is appalled by the conditions many horses are forced to live under. It has taken Marcia about one year to develop her personal contacts, gather information and gain further experience through assisting other Stables and organizations. It is her goal to eventually be able to help or to find help for all of the many horses in need and to work toward a raised community awareness of this issue.

     We encourage you to check back with us... there are a lot more horses that need help.
