To tweak a line from Shakespeare, Susan Peirce needs a kingdom for a horse.

Fifty-six horses, in fact.

The co-founder and president of Red Bucket Equine Rescue, a Huntington Beach-based nonprofit that rescues and rehabilitates abandoned horses, is appealing to the community to donate funds for a new permanent home for her animals.

For three years, Red Bucket has housed its horses at the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center. However, center owner Mary Behrens and manager Mike Rademaker recently gave the nonprofit's horses until Feb. 15 to move out of their stalls to make room for paying customers, and Peirce and her volunteers are seeking funds for new accommodation.

Wherever Red Bucket's new home is, Peirce hopes it will be at least close to Surf City.
