Well there is great news late this evening. The fire has been stopped for now, and until the wind picks up tomorrow we are in no immediate danger. The fire crews are working desperately to have it completely out before the 40+ mph winds pick up again in the morning. We got 11 of the […]

Our blog is updated earlier than normal because we are taking precautionary action and evacuating all the horses that we can. There is a raging fire just a few miles from us, in a mostly upwind direction. At about 3:00 pm the fire was about 4 miles from us. The word is we are going […]

What a great, busy, overwhelming day! It started off simple enough, with Tawnee, Jason and volunteer Judy visiting and getting to know the newly rescued horses, and caring for their injuries. There are so many simply wonderful, sweet loving (and yes, trained to ride) horses that we were able to rescue yesterday. Here is a picture of Tawnee and Judy […]

The day started out with a truck washing (6:30 am) so it wouldn’t be embarrassingly dirty for the big auction rescue day. We put some of the donated bedding on the trailer floor so the horses would have a pleasant ride back to the rescue. Once the volunteers, Debbie and Judy, showed up Tawnee and the volunteers headed out. They picked […]

Today started with Jason cleaning up the 20 acres, fixing fences and generally tidying up. It’s amazing how much ‘junk’ (bailing twine, trash that gets blown in from the next county, etc) there accumulates in such a short time. Many of our visitors will be thrilled to know that the electric fence next to the […]

Today Tawnee and Jason showed horses to a potential adopter, and now Alex is in adoption pending! We are still going to take him to the vet on the 12 to have his health check. He has had EPM in the past and we want to make sure he is 100% recovered. We cannot thank all of you who […]

Today stared off full speed with delivering Alcon to her waiting owner in Oroville where she continued her trip home. She will have a great home! Our rescue ranch is starting to look sparse with only 17 available horses… Sunday auction rescue is coming up though, and the funds have already been donated thanks to […]

Today was a pretty uneventful day overall, but we did have some positive things happen! Volunteers Annette and Kimmy came out today and worked for a few hours. They cleaned stalls, cleaned and folded blankets, and did a host of little things that needed to be done. Thanks so much for helping the rescue run […]

Tawnee is finally back and the blog is getting long again. She is still miserable and doesn’t have a lot of spunk and gets wiped out quickly. Tomorrow should be better, and soon she’ll be 100%. Sally came out today and trimmed up one of the horses and looked around at the others. Sally fell in […]

Bath day! Today Ruth and Erik came out and along with Jason we bathed and groomed about 14 horses today! Dabney really enjoyed being messed with, and Ruth thinks perhaps she knows someone that would consider giving her a great home. Dabney is looking so good these days, she is filling out, growing up and generally looking pretty nice.
