"the essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and fire." -- Sharon Ralls Lemon
Rescued Animals Second Chance Inc. was founded in 2013 by Dr. Beth Nickels, M.D. RASC is a 501(c)(3) charity formed to promote animal welfare through rescue, permanent shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation of unwanted, neglected, and abused horses. The Double Nickel Ranch now has 55 rescued horses who will have a pasture and home for the rest of their lives. RASC offers a lifetime commitment to these animals, saving them from torture, starvation, and a horrible death. While the United States has outlawed horse slaughtering, many states allow "kill pens" where horses await sale and transport to Mexico and Canada for a cruel and horrendous slaughter. We believe that these animals that have been so loyal to human beings deserve to be saved for moral and ethical reasons. Humans domesticated them, humans must care for them in humane ways. Rescued animals know they have been given a second chance once they are healed physically and emotionally. Rescuers are rewarded with the horses' new spirits and personalities.
Dr. Beth Nickels has saved many human as well as animal lives. She is a Coronado High School graduate and earned her medical degree at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She is a general and trauma surgeon in private practice in Lubbock, Texas.
Rehabilitation of rescued horses requires time and patience to heal these gentle beings both physically and mentally.
