One of the reasons we value the relationships we’ve built with our local veterinarians so much is because we see firsthand just how much they carry. Large-animal vets are answering difficult calls, covering huge areas, and showing up when families need them most. We’re grateful for the ones who keep doing this work—and we know how important it is to support them.

Ohio is facing a shortage of rural veterinarians, and student debt is a big part of the problem.

New OSU vet graduates averaged more than $200,000 in debt, while rural and large-animal practices often pay less.

Most people never think about this until they have to.
The illustration below shows the rescue skid and harness system we use on every call. It allows a deceased horse to be supported, secured, and moved with care instead of being dragged or winched by the legs.

How a horse is moved matters — especially for the family watching.

In many situations, traditional removal methods may be fast, but for owners who witness them, that can become a memory they never forget.

At Osborne Homestead Services, we do things differently.

Your horse is gently rolled onto the skid, secured with a full harness, and moved supported and intact.

No cables around limbs.
No dragging across the ground.

Every call is handled by two trained personnel, because doing this respectfully and safely is not a one-person job.

Osborne Homestead Services is licensed in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana and fully insured, so families know exactly who is coming onto their property and how their horse will be cared for.

When choosing a provider, ask:

“How will you move my animal?”
“How many trained people will you send?”
“Are you licensed and insured in my state?”

The answers matter. 💙

Did you know? In Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, anyone collecting or transporting a deceased large animal is required by law to be licensed. Not all providers are.
When you're calling around on the hardest day, it feels awkward to ask questions — but it matters. A few worth asking any provider before they arrive:
✔️ Are you licensed in my state?
✔️ How will my animal be moved — winched, dragged, or lifted?
✔️ Do you handle cremation yourselves, or use a third party?
✔️ If third party, who is it — and can I look them up?
✔️ Will my horse be cremated individually?
✔️ Do you follow state and county regulations for burial?
At Osborne Homestead Services, we hold active licenses in all three states we serve, and we coordinate cremation through Pet Cremation Services & Equine in Columbus, OH — a trusted, equine-specialized facility. We hand-deliver the remains back to you personally.
Ask us. Ask anyone you call. Your animal deserves it. 💙

Day 3.
Not every rescue happens in an open field.
Today’s scenario: horse with legs through a bridge.
Controlled, technical, and all about keeping both the animal and responders safe.

Day 2 of our Technical Large Animal Rescue training is underway.
Real scenarios, hands-on work, and a great group of responders and horse owners learning how to be ready when it matters most.
