The day started off early with Otto’s adopters coming to pick him up for the long journey back home. With a little gentle persuasion he hopped right in and started munching the food down. Around noon Jason and Tawnee loaded up Cephei to take him to his new home. He was real happy to get in the trailer, he actually seems […]

Today started off with volunteer Teresa coming out and helping for a few hours. All of the auction horses that are at the rescue were moved to a larger pen and each one was wormed. Tawnee has a sneaky way that has been developed over the years from worming so many horses that may not like to […]

Randy the pony is doing good at his foster home. They sent a picture update on him, it’s hard to see how skinny he really is, pictures seem to always pack weight on horses, but he is terribly skinny. We will be consulting with our vet for his best possible future and care. Tawnee and Claire […]
