Wow, just in case you hadn’t heard the news by now, Pharlap died of arsenic poisoning 75 years ago. They are claiming it may have been accidental overdosing, but who really knows. The person that really knows, if there is one, is probably already passed away by now. You can read one of the many news articles by clicking here. […]

Today we got terribly sad news from our retirement foster home. Bessie passed away during the night. She was 21 years old. We rescued her from a feedlot before she was shipped out for slaughter. The feedlot gave her anabolic steroids to fatten her up, and when she came to us she quickly dropped weight. […]

Cygnus was adopted today by one of our volunteers. She absolutely fell in love with her when she was out working, and today she was able to take her to her forever home. Thanks Ann-Marie for all your hard work and for giving Cygnus such a great home! Today was the first horses that we […]

Today the Parelli Ebay auction went off for an amazing $430! We have already spent the funds ordering another Horse Round Bale feeder from Tractor Supply. This will make 3 feeders, the original one, the one donated by Tina (still on order) and the Parelli Feeder (not made by Parelli, there is no ‘natural horse feeder’ that we know of) but […]

Today was evaluation day! It actually was a pretty ‘normal’ day at the rescue although we did miss Deb terribly… No doubt our trailer and our guinea pig rider are gone forever… No, she’ll be back. She’s just recovering from all the evacuation and stress like we are. Yes, all of her horses are safe.Becky […]

Today (Friday the 13th) was an incredibly busy day. Jason’s first goal of the day was the get new tires put on the truck. It sure is a good thing the use of the truck is all donated by Tawnee and Jason, that $980 for tires sure will feed a lot of hungry horses. After the tires […]

Thursday started off pretty normal. Emails were coming in with great updates. The first update was from Sedoma, she’s doing great in her new home and the kids just love her. It’s so great to see a horse that just a few days before hung in the balance between life and death, but is now in […]

Sorry folks, we don’t have time to catch up on yesterdays happenings or today’s. We are having to race off to help evacuate 60 horses from Paradise this evening. Jason spent the day on the road picking up a couple donated horses in the Stockton area. It has been a crazy hectic day, or rather, a […]

Our thoughts and prayers are with those that are losing homes as I type in the Paradise area. We are hearing reports of people possibly having to shoot their horses because there are not enough trailers to haul them all to safety. It is much more humane to shoot the horses than let them be […]

Sedoma was adopted today and Tawnee took her to her new home first thing this morning. Just on Sunday her life hung on the balance of killer buyer or rescue, and thankfully she came to safety and is now in her forever home. That’s so much Allison for giving Sedoma a great life ahead of her. It’s nice to know […]
