Take a Chance on Me: A story of Rescue and Rehabilitation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781717018328)

In 2015 the Canadian Horse Rescue and Re-Homing Society received word that five Canadian Horse yearlings were in a kill pen in Alberta and at risk of going to slaughter. Their mandate is to help our National Breed, especially those at risk. Intervention meant needing to prepare these unhandled youngsters so that they could be adopted into forever homes. One of those youngsters who was more reactive than the others was their biggest concern. Benson had an unsuccessful short adoption that compromised his ability to trust humans. The other surviving youngsters had been adopted out and were doing well. Benson remained in Alberta and his fate was unknown due to his lack of confidence and fear. It was decided to bring him to BC and enlist the help of someone that might be able to rehabilitate him. The Society received long, lengthy emails as report cards of his slow progress and it was decided to share these in the form of a book as a fundraiser for the Society to help other members of this endangered noble breed of horse. This book is about Benson...the last of the five rescued Canadian Horse youngsters and a chronicle of his journey as he tried to regain his trust in humans.
