Rescue Founder Vera V-Abdallah Is The Safety Net That Never Gives Up; Exposing the Untold Realities of Equine Mass Seizures on the Saddle Talk with Sandy & Cara Podcast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 7 2026

On the latest episode of the Saddle Talk with Sandy and Cara podcast, hosts Sandy and Cara sit down with Vera V-Abdallah, Executive Director and founder of Love This Horse Equine Rescue, to discuss her high-stakes mission as a safety net for America's most vulnerable, unhandled castaway horses.

From intercepting horses bound for slaughter to managing complex law enforcement seizures across the U.S., V-Abdallah has established herself as a last-resort guardian angel for animals other organizations lack the skill set or resources to rehabilitate. Holding both a rigorous three-year German state certification as an equine specialist (Pferdewirt) and a U.S. law degree, V-Abdallah combines elite classical training methods with legally ironclad adoption contracts to ensure no horse in her care ever falls through the cracks again.

"If you have a horse under saddle, you can always find a home for that horse," states V-Abdallah during the interview. "When horses are unhandled, regardless of pedigree, there is simply no market for them, making them extremely vulnerable."

Key Episode Highlights:

• The Law Enforcement Go-To: Why federal and local agencies nationwide call on Love This Horse to handle massive seizures of feral, unhandled, and unneutered horses—particularly traumatized Arabians.

• Taming the Untameable: The patience, classical European training, and energy required to transform emotionally battered, hopeless animals into willing partners (including three rescue alumni that went on to compete in the world-renowned Tevis Cup).

• Legal Shielding: How V-Abdallah uses her legal background to craft binding adoption contracts that stand up in court, guaranteeing a lifetime safety net for every horse she rescues.

• Dispelling Industry Bias: Why common stereotypes surrounding mares harm adoptability, and how proper handling reveals their true loyalty and potential.
