WHITE LAKE, Mich. -- A metro Detroit woman is losing her farm to foreclosure. And now dozens of horses that have already been rescued once are in need of help again.

Haley Hills Farm in White Lake has been home to the Equine State Foundation horse sanctuary for six years.

The farm currently has 31 horses that have all been injured or abandoned.

The foundation’s president, Joan Tucker, said although there’s enough love to care for the horses, there’s not enough money.

“We have been foreclosed on. Our time is up and we have to be out in 30 days,” she said.

Tucker said her financial troubles began with a divorce and were compounded with rising veterinary and food costs.

“As we watched Michigan decline, our donations started to decline,” Tucker said.

Chris Freeberger farm in Gladwin County was foreclosed on a few months ago, and 13 of her horses were taken in by the foundation. Now, Freeberger said she’s concerned for their welfare again.

“If they move them to a place where they will not love them and take care of them, they may end up for slaughter,” Freeberger said. “You know, it’s just a scary thought.”

Tucker said the demand for animal sanctuaries has never been stronger.

“In the last year, I’ve been asked to take over 260 horses,” she said.

Tucker said she’s been offered the opportunity of vacant land to temporarily keep the horses, but she said she hopes many can be adopted.

“We have horses that could definitely fill the need for someone who is looking for a good family horse,” she said.

Tucker and her 22-year-old daughter also live on the farm and will need to find another place to call home.
