Casey Creek Horse Rescue and Adoption, Inc. is a small rescue operated by Ken, Jeannie, and John Holland.

In 1999 when the Holland's were looking for a horse to purchase and were referred to a farm involved with nursemare foals by a friend.

Although the nursemare industry is a big part of Kentucky, it does have a downside. The mares are bred to produce foals and then when a call comes in, the mare is taken from the foal and sent to another farm to raise a foal, leaving their own foal an orphan.

The Holland Family felt a need to create an organization that would rescue and place orphan nursemare foals. In 1999 they founded Casey Creek Rescue and Adoption, Inc.

Casey Creek Rescue and Adoption obtains orphan foals from the nursemare farms and finds loving homes for them to be raised in. In the past some of the nursemare farms would either sell to meat dealers or kill the orphans. The farms Casey Creek are involved with have a great deal of respect for the foals and at times will even call in the middle of the night to help place these orphans with loving adopters.

Casey Creek is a 501 c 3 organization that survives mainly on donations.  If you have an interest in adopting an orphan foal, or making a donation, you can learn more about this wonderful organization by visiting their website.
