Protecting the health and welfare of neglected and abused equines
Home
We’re halfway to plenty of hay for the rescued horses! Every rescued horse at River Road Farm requires a customized feeding plan to optimize their wellness. Your generous and compassionate Buy-A-Bale gift will help all of the horses receive the food they need to regain and sustain their health. It takes more than hay!

News Center Maine’s 207 recently featured a wonderful segment all about the Neglected 20! Fabulous reporter Peggy Keyser and talented photojournalist Kirk Cratty tell the story of the Neglected 20 in a way that only they can. Peggy is not only a skilled and experienced journalist but–like so many of us–she is also a life-long horse lover. Plus, 207 has the exclusive story of draft mare Loretta’s adoption, including a behind-the-scenes look at her wonderful new adoptive home. Click the button to watch the story!

The last two months of the year often consist of reflection and celebration of the year gone by. MSSPA has a lot to reflect upon, especially with the expansion of the Society’s herd when 20 neglected horses came to the farm in July. The year-end booklet focuses on this herd in the form of a Rescue Yearbook. Follow the link below to view the yearbook. You can also “double your horsepower” and team up with generous donors who have agreed to match all gifts up to $10,000! Your gifts allow Society horses like the Neglected 20 to receive the quality care they all deserve.
