Crossed Sabers Stable & The Second Wind Adoption Program, (SWAP, Inc.) International Horse Adoption Program
Description
HISTORY of Crossed Sabers Stable and The Second Wind Adoption Program (SWAP)
Crossed Sabers Stable was established in July of 1996. The Crossed Sabers name and emblem originated from the US Cavalry emblem worn on their uniform and Stetson. It was selected to exemplify the long history and connection between the horse and the military. The stable colors are the traditional Cavalry colors of red and white, added to a black background. The Second Wind Adoption Program was founded by the stable owner, Celeita Kramer, when her mentor, Evelyn Duhr died of cancer the summer of ‘97. Evelyn owned Second Wind Farm in Maryland where she ran a standardbred adoption program. Second Wind was dedicated to Evelyn’s work but was expanded to address all breeds and horses in need. Second Wind Adoption became a non-profit program the summer of ‘98 and the entire facility became non-profit the summer of 2000. At that time, Crossed Sabers became aligned with Second Wind and its primary mission and vision. Second Wind has added foster homes all over the continental US and Canada in order to be able to address the great need and the vast number of calls from horse owners looking for a quality home their equine friend.
Prevent animal abuse/neglect of all the equus species and the need for rescue through adoption, there by being a catalyst for “Rescue Prevention” by placing horses into quality homes before the need arises for rescue or intervention by authorities.
Make up for the lack of state protection laws by having adoption contracts that govern minimum care and use of each horse.
