My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY LISTING - Thunder: Gray Arabian gelding, 14.2 hands, 900 lbs. 33 years old, no registration paperwork. Was originally trained to be a barrel racing horse, however showed in English, western, and a few jumping shows. Rode as a trail horse as well. Thunder is very easy going. Great with kids, dogs, cats, and other horses. Would do well with small children leading him and riding him. Due to his arthritis, he would not be a good candidate for teenagers or adults. Currently on firocoxib and CBD for arthritis. Needs soaked alfalfa cubes in addition to pasture or hay. Does well out on pasture during the summer. Thunder would do okay as an only horse. Located in Dewitt County. $1000

More about this rescue

About Us

Our mission is to maintain the integrity, well-being, and health of hooved animals through education first.

SHARE is a nonprofit humane society established in 2005 in the Champaign area. We have investigators that cover a large portion of Illinois.

At SHARE, our goal is to help equines trapped in situations of abuse and starvation. It is also our wish as well to educate horse owners on how to properly care for their horses.

The humane society offers to help educate owners on the proper daily care and maintenance; vetting and hoof care as well as nutrition and emergencies. The society also rescues severely neglected horses and provides rehabilitation services and placement through adoption.

This is not an easy task; many volunteers are needed in order to provide this care and support. There are many people who are not aware of hooved animals that are abused and neglected. SHARE would like to inform people about this
