Our schedule was to transport Dusty, Blaze and Mac to their new home today, but unfortunately it had to be rescheduled. This allowed us to get caught up on some much needed things. We printed and folded ~130 new brochures. We toned them down and took out the reality of slaughter pictures. It is now 100% […]

Wow, what a wonderful outpouring of support for horses in peril at the livestock auction this month! Jennifer G donated $1,000 towards this months auction rescue. Jennifer was the inspiration to start a monthly fundraising drive to save horses from livestock auctions, her original donation of $2,000 earlier this year helped save a lot of […]

Today started off with a flurry of activity . There were early phone calls, potential adopters viewing horses, the large pens got harrowed, and then all of the excitement was over by 9:30. The cancellations came in for horses being picked up today, no volunteers chose to come out today, and it was, unbelievably enough, […]

Jason cleaned out the stock trailer this morning in preparation for the days events. After cleaning it out, Hershey and Virgo were loaded up. Virgo is such a sweet girl, she loaded right up, but Hershey wasn’t so anxious. He did get in without a huge fuss and off they went. They are going to […]

Tawnee showed horses again today, it’s great she is able to be up and about and doing such a great job again. Hershey and Virgo’s adopting mommy’s came out today to visit them. They love them so much! Hershey however, didn’t want to visit people as he was distracted by Phoebe. Phoebe came in heat today, so she is not […]

Today was as always a busy day, Tawnee and Jason were both up and around, not quite 100% yet but close. It’s nice to be able to feed and care for the horses without a 101 degree fever, nausia, etc. The auction fund is currently at $1307, every donation helps out a lot! Horses lives are on the line, […]

Today was another e-news day. Tawnee worked hard on it pretty much all day, and by this evening it was on its way. We are hoping with this e-news to generate interest in volunteering and raising funds for the next auction. If you did not get the e-news and you feel that you should have, please sign up again […]

We got up to the undelightful overcast of thick heavy smoke. It’s no wonder with almost all of northern CA burning up. It kept the temperature cooler, but it was really muggy and hot anyway. We called up Sally, our barefoot trimmer, and she had to cancel coming down once again because she was under evacuation. Our […]

Today was a busy day and we found out that Pegasi has some tricks up his hooves. He can bow and stretch out, and who knows what else he knows. He neck reigns, rides nicely, and is a super sweet little guy. He still thinks he’s a stallion, but he’s not… Time should fix that one. His […]

Today both Tawnee and Jason were inoperably sick, and so other than caring for the immediate needs of the horses, not much got done. Claire and her husband Ron came over today to borrow the stock to shear their Llama’s. Claire gave us an update on the little bird: it is doing great and is almost ready to […]
