Success Stories

Proud to Have Found Homes for
Over 20 Horses in Less than Two Years!

The Gingersnap Girls Foundation, though small, is mighty! After receiving our non-profit status from the IRS in June 2005, we have taken in, treated, loved over 20 horses who would have otherwise met neglectful, abusive, and inhumane ends. We wish that we had the resources to take in all needy equines but, as so often is the case, the bottom line is lack of funds. To that end, we continue to raise money as we raise awareness for these poor souls who just want the basics - food, love, and good care.

We are pleased that we have been able to network with other groups and individuals and have assisted in placing many horses from their home situations directly into their forever, loving home. This networking allows us to help in need equines without having to expend all of our much needed resources.

The year 2007 has been a busy one for us already and we receive calls regarding in need horses, ponies, donkeys every week. In order for us to continue to help them to reach their forever home, we need to continue trying to raise additional funds and awareness.
Please help us if you can. Together we can make 2007 and future years, our best ones yet!

Beau and Michelle

Beau came to the GingersnapGirls Foundation as the result of an owner give up. Generally, the Foundation only takes in the most debilitated or at risk horses. Beau was neither. He belonged to a wonderful family that was moving due to a career change. This family had rescued Beau on the West Coast and brought him to the East Coast many years ago. Upon learning of their move, they felt that it was fairer to Beau to leave him in Virginia. They were desperate to find him a home that would take care of him always. He had a few special needs - namely a possible diagnosis of narcolepsy, which has proven unfounded. This family asked the Foundation if we could take in Beau and his friend, Belle, a miniature horse, so that they would always be protected. Before moving to the Foundation's facility, Belle was placed in a wonderful new home. Beau was with us only a few weeks before finding his forever home with Michelle Adams and her family. We were all so fortunate to find Michelle and she says she's so lucky to have found Beau.

The Gingersnap Girls requires all adopters to fill out paperwork leading to a home and veterinary check. We also require a yearly statement from the adopter's veterinarian. And, we always check in with our adopters to make sure all is going well for them and their new "family member."
