worked to promote responsible horse ownership, the humane treatment of horses in competition, the humane
transport of equines, and the preservation of America's wild horses and burros. CERA's listing appears in
the first section and is 1 of a total of 11 North Carolina rescue organizations that made the list!!

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?

CERA would like to say a big THANK YOU to the
NCHC (North Carolina Horse Council) for a
presenting us with a Horse Grant. With this grant
money CERA will be able to purchase a round
pen. This round pen will be used in the training
and rehab of horses coming into CERA.
Please visit the North Carolina Horse Council's
website to learn more about this great
organization and everything they do for the North
Carolina Horse Community.

CERA is bursting at the seams with horses and ponies that are ready to go to new
homes, and until we can find homes for some of them, we cannot help out the next
horse or pony that is in trouble. You don't hear about the ones CERA has had to turn
away, nor can you imagine how hard it is for us to say it..... We need your help, and we
need it now!!!
In order to make it "easier" for people to possibly open their homes to just one pony
or horse to help us make room to help the ones that are still out there truly
struggling, CERA will be waiving all normally requested donations if you adopt one of
the following horses and/or ponies through the end of February (adoption homes must
still be pre-approved): Jesse, Willy, Princess, and Pumpkin - please see our
"Horses for Adoption" page for information on these Ladies - and Gentleman!!
CERA and the Equine Institute of Monroe are sad to announce that the 3

Trainer; Will Walls, Equine Educational Alliance; Nathan Campbell, AFA
