Standing Together for Our Horses
Growing up in Northern Michigan
Horses were a foundational part of my life from the time I was a little girl. My family relied on heavy, gentle Belgium draft horses to skid logs out of the woods, a traditional practice we used to keep our impact on the forests as minimal and respectful as possible.
Some of my absolute fondest childhood memories are tied to those beautiful animals—hooking them up to a sleigh my dad built from scratch, riding through the snowy fields to the crisp sound of jingle bells, and hearing their happy whinnies calling out from the barn. I can still feel their soft, velvet nozzles stealing sugar cubes right out of my jacket pockets while I fed them grain.
Because horses have given us so much devotion, care, and unconditional love, we believe it is our turn to protect them.
Here at Forrest Wellness Spa, we are incredibly proud to stand alongside our partners at FarmHouse Fresh Skincare in the vital mission to end horse slaughter in the United States.
How You Can Help: Support the SAFE Act
The Save America's Forgotten Equines (SAFE) Act is a crucial piece of legislation that would permanently prohibit the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the U.S. and stop their export for the same purpose overseas.
If you are so inclined, we would be deeply grateful for your heart and your help. Please consider taking a moment to follow the links below to learn more, lend your voice, and become involved in protecting these majestic animals.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for stepping up with us. Together, we can be the voice they so desperately need.
Look at all that GREEN! 💚 The momentum you brought to our 4-day 50 States for Horses & Donkeys campaign was nothing short of incredible — and we just watched EVEN MORE states light up on the map! But here's the thing: we're only getting started. Keep spreading the word — to your friends, your book club, your coworkers, the person next to you in line. Every share turns another state green. We've got this! 🐴
