Hurry up and wait.....

They say  "Patience is a virtue" and "Good things take time". When Horse Haven receives a call for help from officials in a Tennessee county,  we have to sit tight and wait for instructions. Before we get in the truck to meet with the other agencies involved, all documentation must be in order. The law requires it. While we are eager pick up those horses and get them the care and help they so desperately need, we have to obey the law as well. We have to ensure that we do everything right and that all parties involved did what was required by law to ensure that we are building a good, solid case that will stand up in court. Waiting is painful. Anxiety starts to build. What will we find when we get there? What condition will the horses be in? Will we be able to help them recover? In order to get justice for the abused and neglected horses, we have to do what's right. We know that once the "go ahead" call comes, we will be ready to do what is needed to help those that cannot help themselves.
