CERA, Carolina Equine Rescue & Assistance was established in April,
2008. CERA helps abused, neglected and unwanted equine in Union
County, NC and surrounding counties. CERA depends solely on
community donations. All monies donated to CERA remain in Union
County to help the horses. The economy has caused a tremdous strain on
horse owners locally and nationally. If possible CERA would prefer to
help responsible horse owners than to see them loose their horses, pets,
companions. Monies are not distributed to other rescue groups. No
salaries are paid, we are all volunteers. Donations can be made thru our
website with Pay Pal or you can mail a check to the above address.

| The Meaning of Rescue - Author Unknown Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed. All nicely tucked in my warm new bed, I'd like to open my baggage, lest I forget, There is so much to carry - So much to regret Hmmm... Yes, there it is, right on the top, Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my perch hides Fear and Shame. As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave - I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things - And take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, to never repack? I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see, But I do come with baggage - Will you still want me? |

We feed our horse’s good quality grain and hay; their feet are trimmed on a regular basis and are given the best
veterinary care available. We also give them plenty of love and attention and make them feel special. Most of
our horses are able to be placed in forever homes, but some are not adoptable or they cannot be placed. They
will remain in our program and continue to receive good quality care until they cross the Rainbow Bridge. We
will not let any horse suffer or if their quality of life is questionable euthanasia will be recommended.
We welcome visitors and volunteers to our facility to groom, help with barn chores or just hang out with the
horses. We are also able to help children with community service hours for school, clubs or church. CERA also
offers “Learning the Basics” class twice a year. This course is available to new horse owners, law enforcement
and animal control or anyone that wants to learn more about horses. The course is accredited thru The Equine
Institute of Monroe. If you are interested in the course you can register online at www.equineinstitute.com
Each horse has its own story and most are heartbreaking to animal lovers like yourself. Each animal also has its
own personalities, likes and dislikes. CERA attempts to treat each animal under its protection with tender loving
care until it is ready to be placed in its forever home. Please take a few minutes to read about our “Miracle
Colt, Pelear”.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or comments.
