There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man. ~ Sir Winston Churchill
Darlene Kindle didn't set out to have 13 horses, but these 13 horses need her. Rescued from abuse or neglect or lately, simply unwitting victims of the
economy, these horses found their way to CERA, Carolina Equine Rescue & Assistance. As you can imagine, caring for all these horses is time
consuming and costly. Volunteers and donations are always highly valued at CERA. Established by Darlene in April 2008, CERA created a rescue
organization that not only worked with local law enforcement in seizure and surrenders, but one that could help educate owners on how to properly care
for their animals and hopefully avoid unlawful neglect. Darlene also wanted to be able to take in horses that were at risk due to hardship of their owners,
almost eerily forecasting the current state of our economy and the rapidly increasing numbers of abandoned pets. And most of all, Darlene wanted all
monies donated to CERA to remain in Union County to help the horses locally, unlike other rescues. CERA also works to educate horse owners, law
enforcement and animal control on basic equine management
With today's tight economy, many are finding it harder to make donations, even to organizations they have traditionally supported. Consider donating
time instead. Make a commitment to volunteer at CERA each week. Not an experienced horse person? No problem, there are plenty of different tasks
involved in caring for all the horses, many of which don't require extensive horse handling skills. Darlene has a book filled with photos and stories of all
the horses she has cared for over the last 3 years. “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.”
Good quality horse hay is always in demand. Sold your horse and have a few bales left over you hadn't used up yet? Consider making a tax-deductible
donation of your remaining bales to CERA.

ABOUT US
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The Carolina Equine Rescue & Assistance or CERA has the primary goal of caring for abused, neglected, and/or abandoned equines. CERA will also fall
within the CERA guidelines. We will also assist in natural disasters, such as weather related issues or individual tragedies. We will provide equines with
proper medical and farrier care, in addition to good quality grain, hay, and water. Equines are then rehabilitated and placed in approved, caring, and
loving homes. If an individual equine cannot be rehabilitated, to end their suffering, they will be humanely euthanized.
CERA also believes that education is the foundation for equines to have a proper home. Therefore, we offer educational classes for law enforcement,
and animal control. In addition, there will also be classes for new and existing horse owners that will be taught with the help of qualified clinicians.
Participants in our classes are able to have hands on education with several different breeds and ages of horses.
