It is unthinkable when humans hide behind an Animal Rescue Charity in order to steal all of the donations and make 81 innocent horses – the same horses used to garner the donations – suffer horribly.
Anne Shumate Goland is presently behind bars after being arrested on animal cruelty charges. Her 501 (c) 3 charitable non-profit, Peaceable Farms, garnered over a million dollars in 2013. But last month after receiving many complaints, Sheriffs entered the property and found beyond deplorable conditions including 6 dead horses, a dead donkey, 86 emaciated horses, plus several deceased dogs, cats and chickens. It was determined that 5 horses needed to be euthanize on site and 5 more have been euthanized after being rescued. In total, Sheriffs removed 81 horses, 28 cats and 7 dogs.
DEAD HORSES IN STALLS AND ON THE GROUNDS, INJURED/STARVED HORSES …HORRENDOUS CONDITIONS FOR THE RESCUERS.
I’m not showing you the really bad photos… so you can imagine the deplorable and sickening conditions for the rescuers.
LET’S HELP FEED AND CARE FOR THE HORSES WHO WERE RESCUED FROM THESE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS!

81 REMAINING HORSES ARE BEING TREATED, REHABBED AND FED… 5 RESCUES ARE HELPING – AN IMMENSE AND EXPENSIVE UNDERTAKING.
The greed is contemptible. Can you imagine living on this farm, among all these suffering animals and doing NOTHING?!
Disgusting.
But, 5 wonderful and ethical Rescues have stepped up to help: Travelers’ Rest Equine Elders, Hope’s Legacy Equine Rescue, Central Virginia Horse Rescue, Gentle Giants DraftHorse Rescue and the private rescue/farm New Beginnings Horse Rescue.

This is Emma – she’s pregnant, if you can believe that! The greedy owners not only starved her, but bred her.
LET’S HELP THESE HORSES SURVIVE FOR REAL THIS TIME! (Holiday gift donation certificates available – just email me!)
All donations are 100% tax deductible!
Let’s give these horses back what was rightfully theirs! Starbucks money? Friday night out money? These rescues are working very, very hard to help these poor horses.

Thank you, Horse and Man, for drawing attention to the plight of these animals and the rescuers helping them. It is important to strengthen animal protection laws in Virginia and throughout the country.
Am not able to give money but i would be able to take a could to help out if need it
It’s a tragedy to see such heartless greedy motivation! Animal Cruelty should be a Felony!
I know any rescue would love to bring in $1,000 a month per animal! What on earth did they spend that money on? Good job to the rescues stepping up to help and for law enforcement getting in there and rescuing these animals.
Thank you Dawn!
