Give Me A Chance is a horse, donkey, pony and mule rescue organization located in central Arkansas, near Arkadelphia, south of Hot Springs. We are eager to let you know what we are doing for the equines in our care. We also want you to know how you can help us rescue starved and abused equines and place the animals in loving homes.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is staffed entirely by volunteers. All contributions are tax-deductible.
Give Me A Chance Equine Rescue was founded in November 2003 by LaRae Pittman and her daughter Christina Wilkerson for the purpose of rescuing abused and neglected equines. Since that time, we have rehabilitated and adopted out more than 400 horses, donkeys, ponies and mules.
Due to LaRae's poor health, she was forced to find a new president and location for the rescue. In June 2010, Tom and Polly Cates took over the reins and began the process of moving the horses from Alpine to Manchester, which is near Arkadelphia.
Give Me A Chance relies completely upon donations, adoption fees and fund-raisers to support the equines. Our monthly feed bill averages $2,500, depending on the number of horses at the farm and what condition they are in. Of course, we also must pay for salt and supplements, farrier fees, veterinary care, Coggins testing, vaccinations and medical supplies.
Donations of grain, hay, and/or the money to pay for them are always needed. Please help us continue to rescue starving and abused horses.

Sarah and Rapunzel
Give Me A Chance Equine Rescue accepts horses regardless of the condition of their health. Sarah and Rapunzel are just two examples of how GMACER rehabilitates horses that come to us in starvation condition.

More horses need the care we provided for Sarah. Another example is Rapunzel. This picture was taken when Rapunzel came to GMACER in November 2005 as a starvation case.
