  HorseNet was started by Elle Williams to address the need for a rescue that would take in equines from any situation.Her desire to rescue equines began when she got her first horse.He had been badly abused as a 2 year old, having been chased by several drunken teenagers on horseback that beat him with bull whips to the point of exhaustion.When he finally fell to the ground, the beating continued.As a result, he did not like men and the sight of a lunge whip, crop or even a big stick sent him into a panic.
  
  As her horse career progressed, she grew more and more disheartened as she watched how people would just buy and sell horses like they were used up appliances.To Elle this was a tragedy and it just seemed to her that someone needed to act as a safety "net" for those horses, so HorseNet was born.
  ...
  Elle shared that the blind community is very special to everyone at HorseNet.Attuning them to Reiki will make their natural healing abilities even more powerful.
  
  HorseNet is a 501 ©(3) nonprofit with facilities located in Mt. Airy and New Windsor, Md.They are 100 percent volunteer run and operate solely on donations.If you would like to volunteer contact Elle Williams by calling 410-795-8989 or through the web site at horsenethorserescue.org.Donations can be made directly to HorseNet or in the donation box at our Midas Touch health food store in Berryville.

  Said Elle Williams, HorseNet's executive director: ,,Horses are just like people, with their own places, history and situations."Ordinarily, though, they can't explain their situation; they ,,can't say I got mugged and beaten," she said.
  
  Williams said she can often figure out a horse's problems by watching them and the way they interact.When this fails, though, she calls in Beuchert, who ,,has the ability to communicate with them and put us on the right path."
  
  For instance, a horse whose owner died was moved from life mainly in a stall to more time in a pasture, where ,,he just stood in the field, watching everyone else graze."

  "Without the Indian and the horse, the culture we know today wouldn't exist," Elle Williams, executive director of HorseNet Horse Rescue, said Sunday.
  ...
  Williams, who is part Choctaw, started HorseNet in 1997 after becoming aware of the need for a their rescue organization.
  
  Rescue organizations for smaller animals, from dogs and cats to ferrets and snakes, are quite common, but the needs of horses make horse rescue more of a challenge.
  
  On a 47-acre farm in Mount Airy and a second location in New Windsor, HorseNet is home to about 100 horses.
  
  "We get horses from many situations," Williams said."From people who can no longer afford them, because an owner has died, because of a divorce, any number of situations."
  
  Rescuers hope owners will call for help before things get desperate for the animal, Williams said, noting that HorseNet tries to help everyone who calls, but sometimes that isn't possible because resources are stretched too thin.
  
  The sluggish economy is hurting the group, which is 100 percent donation supported and volunteer staffed.
  
  "We exist solely on donations and when money gets tight, people have less money to donate," she said.
  ...
  And it is precisely that love, respect and reverence for tradition that makes Williams hope this powwow will become an annual event.
  
  "We're hoping to make it a tradition," she said.

  The horses were not injured, and have been moved to a smaller shelter, but the metal roof is stuck in mud in a field near the barn, said Elle Williams, founder and director of HorseNet Horse Rescue.
  
  A 12- by -16 foot section of roof ripped off during the storm, which brought high winds and heavy rain to the area.Williams said the horses were calm when a volunteer discovered the barn roof was missing about 8 p.m. that evening.
  
  She is not sure whether the rescue will need to replace the roof or whether the property owner's insurance will cover the loss.HorseNet is an all-volunteer organization that survives on donations.Most of the horses in the care of the rescue are older.
  
  The two horses were Splendor, a 41-year-old thoroughbred, and Bandit, a 20-something appaloosa who, although blind, acts as Splendor's eyes and leads the older horse around.
  
  "They're pretty tough," Williams said.
  ...
  The horses are blind, but seem to have a sixth sense about avoiding unusual obstacles, Williams said.
  
  Williams said if the rescue needs to replace the roof, she will have to raise money to pay for the repairs.

  The horses are fine, and have been moved to a smaller barn, but the roof is stuck in mud in a field near the barn, said Elle Williams, founder and director of HorseNet Horse Rescue.
