The minute we heard about Rafael and the condition he was found in, we knew we had to help save him. He has endured so much pain and struggle, we just had to do everything we could to lift him out of that misery.”
The situation for these horses in Mexico is so awful, they are treated so poorly and suffer so much. Being able to help even just one is such a miracle”
CAPE is so honored to help Rafael and provide permanent sanctuary and refuge to him. He will know nothing but safety and love once he gets here"
