Welcome to Frog Pond Farm Draft Horse Rescue!Frog Pond Farm, Inc was formed in September 2002. We incorporated in May 2003 and registered as a non-profit charitable organization with the State of Ohio. Our mission is to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Rehome draft horses in and out of our local community. We also assist new owners on proper draft horse maintenance and needs. We are working to assist local horse owners with free and low cost gelding and euthanization assistance.
Frog Pond Farm acquires our drafts through many means. We attend local and other auctions and purchase directly through the sale ring; outbidding the buyers who ship to slaughter. We also have representatives attend out of state auctions on our behalf. We assist the Humane Society on neglect and abuse seizures. We monitor Craigslist for draft horses in poor condition or in the price range that makes them at risk for purchase to be shipped to slaughter or auction. We accept owner surrenders when the space is available. We regularly have a waiting list of 8-12 drafts at any one time. We also assist owners in the SAFE placement of their draft horses from their residence. All our horses are placed with a 5 year mandatory regular check in period. At the end of the 5 years, we will forgo those check ins as long as the adopter is diligent in getting check ins to us in a timely manner. We hold ownership rights for the life of the horse.
We only place horses within the US. No adoptions allowed to Canada.

Our application process requires the completion of a lengthy and personal application. Once you have been approved, you will be required to complete a legal contract before the horse is allowed to leave. This is for the safety of the horses in our care.
We only place horses within the US. No adoptions allowed to Canada.

DISCLAIMER: We are in NO WAY, nor have we or will we EVER be affiliated with Drafty Barn Rescue located in Lore City, OH. The operator of the Drafty Barn Rescue organization has tagged the phrase "Frog Pond" on her website, used a portion of our trademarked slogan for her organizational name, and has placed frog pictures all over her pages. Additionally, she seems to be overly concerned about the length, content and requirements of our adoption application and contracts. This is a small part of her efforts at causing issues for our organization. One very good reason this "rescue" should be watched is shown in living color from Channel 3-Cleveland News Footage. The photo of the operator of the Drafty Barn rescue is shown on the still shot in the video. You will hear her own words and feelings on horse slaughter by watching the link.
There is also a 2008 USDA/Ohio Dept of Agriculture citation against them for Non-burial of Livestock after they left a horse lying in a ditch for days unnoticed by anyone that resides at the farm -- only the children who ride the bus past the farm daily to school. We received numerous phone calls from parents requesting assistance. Should you wish to see this document, please feel free to email us and it will be forwarded.
There is now a report on file with the Guernsey County Sheriffs Department regarding this same individual in Summer 2010 for "Theft by Intimidation" and "Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer" for illegal removal of horses currently under the monitoring of local Humane and Law Enforcement.
