Celebrating Our Young Volunteers at Promises Never Broken

Hello Friends, Neighbors, and Followers!

This month, we are thrilled to honor Livi during our second young volunteer celebration. Additionally, today marks her 6th birthday. Happy Birthday, Livi!

Livi has been volunteering alongside her Mimi for three years now. She eagerly tackles tasks such as mucking stalls, feeding the horses, cleaning pastures, and distributing hay, all for the joy of spending time with these wonderful animals.

Having recently graduated from kindergarten, Livi is excited to start 1st grade this fall. In her free time, she enjoys playing hockey and caring for her two pets at home. Livi shares that she aspires to become both a veterinarian and a hockey player when she grows up.

Please join us in celebrating Livi for being our youngest volunteer and for her special 6th birthday!

Celebrating Our Young Volunteers at Promisesl Never Broken

Hello Friends, Neighbors, and Supporters! During the month of June, we are excited to honor our young volunteers at the rescue.

Our first celebration is for Emma, and we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations on her high school graduation! Congratulations, EMMA!!

Emma has dedicated around five years as a volunteer, demonstrating her love, care, and compassion for all animals. She has also begun her training in pet grooming. Both the horses and donkeys at PNB, along with our resident mouser, Miss Louise, are incredibly thankful for her efforts.

Please join us in celebrating Emma for her remarkable achievements!

Hello Friends, Neighbors, and Supporters of Promises Never Broken.

We would like to provide an update on Chubb’s path to recovery. Chubb's has successfully completed his third round of shockwave treatment, which employs high-energy sound waves to boost blood flow, lessen inflammation, and enhance tissue regeneration. Additionally, his insulin levels have significantly decreased, allowing us to begin him on steroids. Chubb's continues to receive daily breathing treatments to further assist in his recovery.

As a small 501(c)(3) horse rescue that relies solely on donations, we are actively fundraising for his ongoing care. All contributions are tax-deductible. You can donate via Venmo and PayPal, or request our mailing address by sending us a message.

We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support for Chubb’s journey. Your contributions enable us to fulfill our commitment to his health.

With gratitude,

The Staff and Volunteers of Promises Never Broken

People think horses are just a hobby.

But they don't see the prayers whispered into warm warm necks, the tears hidden in manes or the way a horse can calm the storm inside you.

Some of us don't just ride horses, we're healed by them.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in a horse's mind? A horse’s primary instinct revolves around the question, “Am I safe?” They are naturally alert and capable of processing emotions such as fear and affection. Horses can read human emotions, recognizing facial expressions and being highly sensitive to our heart rates. Remarkably, they can sense stress before we even realize it.

Horses possess incredible memories, allowing them to remember specific individuals, locations, and traumatic experiences.

At Promises Never Broken, our horses are familiar with our volunteers and display a keen curiosity when a new person arrives. They will approach you, investigate, and likely shake you down for a treat, accompanied by a friendly nuzzle or a soft nicker.

Dear Friends and Neighbors of Promises Never Broken

One Year Ago Today: A Dream Realized
Today, we celebrate the successful merger of two barns into one, marking a significant milestone for Promises Never Broken. From our humble beginnings in the heart of Southwestern Pennsylvania, where we resided for 15 years and welcomed many horses into a safe haven, we have now moved to a new barn just a few miles away, still nestled in the valley. We took seven of our horses with us, integrating them into another herd. A year later, our rescue continues to thrive.

While we have successfully adopted out some of our horses, we have also faced the heartbreaking loss of others, who will forever gallop freely in the lushest pastures of our cherished memories. Though we experienced some attrition among our volunteers, we have gained many more, and we are incredibly grateful for their dedication in keeping our forever horses healthy and happy. Much like the postman’s creed: “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these volunteers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.”

We extend our heartfelt thanks to them for their unwavering spirit.

Our property owner envisioned a landscape filled with horses grazing in the pastures. As a line from the Disney movie Cinderella reminds us, “A dream is a wish your heart makes,” and through hard work and commitment to these magnificent animals, that vision has come to life. We remain dedicated to our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming.

We also want to express our sincere gratitude to our community, sponsors, and followers for the support you have provided and continue to offer throughout the years. We truly could not achieve this without each and every one of you.

With heartfelt appreciation,
The Staff and Volunteers of Promises Never Broken

A Heartfelt Thank You from Promises Never Broken

Greetings, Friends and Neighbors of Promises Never Broken!

We want to take a moment to express our gratitude to the Focus Group of The Table Church for joining us to kick off National Volunteer Week. Their members came out to assist us with cleaning pastures, stalls, hay, and much more. We are incredibly thankful for their support.

Running a rescue is about more than just feeding and interacting with the horses; it involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work to keep the grounds safe and clear of hazards for both the horses and our volunteers.

If you’re unable to volunteer, there are still many ways you can support the rescue, such as visiting our Chewy and Amazon wish lists or making a donation through Venmo, PayPal, or by check (please message us for our address).

As always, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our followers; we couldn’t do this without your continued support!

Warm regards,
The Volunteers and Staff of Promises Never Broken
