A horse rescue in Hereford, Arizona needs your help.

According to their website and other reliable sources fire swept through the mountain pasture on Sunday afternoon – June 12, 2011. 380 acres were destroyed. 23 horses were evacuated to safety. But Charlie Horse was not so lucky. He was frightened and turned back into the fire. Charlie was badly burned on his hind quarters and feet.

Some veterinarians have offered their services but the pasture is destroyed. Friends, neighbors, and strangers helped moved these horses off the pasture to safety.
