Please open your heart and send a gift to help us help these poor horses to a speedy recovery. Since we are a New Non- Profit Corporation Rescue revenue is very limited .
Our efforts to save & the cost of daily upkeep of any horse(s) rely solely on donations, sponsors & adoption fees. Every little bit counts. Please help us towards their on going needs.

We are in desperate need of Donations & encouraging monthly Sponsors for  all of these horses daily care and monthly expenses.
We can provide receipt needed upon request.
Each horse can have multiple Sponsors to help the cost of  daily care and monthly upkeep cost. 
It will be a few months before they become adoptable, you can still inquire about adopting any of the horses.
Their riding ability evaluation will be delayed due to conditions & concerns.

Thank you and God Bless,

IGP

2 new Sanctuaries are here at IGP  hauled down from Michigan - The Humane Society asked if I could help them.
Junior is a 20 hand aged Percheron gelding who is Blind in one eye and has a bad hoof that needs cared for; with his pasture buddy Olive a little donkey.
They both will live out their days here at IGP as Sanctuaries.
Thank you Beverly Choate Villa for the use of your trailer to go pick these kids up ,
meeting the tractor trailer in the wee hours of the night at a exit off of the highway :)

Now they will have the best life ever !



Meet Hooch - 5.16.13

Ga. Ag. Dept. asked me if I could help this poor kid after being seized.
He is approx. 7 yrs. old. 14.2 hands and 540 pounds. Severe rain rot. Seems in good spirits and very gentle.
I am guessing he is QH cross. Going to make someone a nice horse after he is rehabilitated. Vet coming next week for his check in to IGP.
I am sometimes just so disappointed in humans that could allow this to happen to an animal.
If you can not care for them, do the right thing and ask for help
