Our blog is a little behind since we rescued the 23 horses, but a lot has been going on at the shelter.  We have been extra busy making details reports on each of the horses, including vet exams.  They have all been microchipped, dewormed, vaccinated and seen by the vet. Bunny and Cody were adopted […]

Since we have purchased the 23 horses recently there has been some controversy with some friends of the guy who sold them to us.  We have been monitoring the situation for months and one thing we are very strong about is even if you have a lot of horses, and most of them are doing […]

We need your help!  We just rescued 23 horses from a hoarding situation.  The horses feed bill is astronomical, not to mention the vet care, gelding operations, etc.  Please donate right now and help us cover these emergency rescue costs.  We couldn’t say “No” to these horses, and we stepped out in faith, trusting that your […]

A lot has happened since our last blog, but we’ll get you caught up.

Monday Jason was out trying to load up 5 miniature horses we were told are wild. He finally got them corralled next to the open trailer door.  The oldest stallion, who was in the best shape, was the first one to hop into the trailer.  He wanted to get out of there! The condition of […]

Sunday was a very busy day at the shelter.  Troy had a volunteer giving him lots of love, and as you can see from his eyes he was soaking it all in. Frosty also got groomed by the volunteer.  He got a bath and all brushed. His little hair between his ears is so cute […]

Wednesday we had a horse being surrendered.  Her owner could no longer keep her and she was so thankful we are an open door shelter. We would like you to meet Kachina.  She is a 4 year old Canadian Warmblood / Quarter Pony.  She is 15 hands tall and is broke to ride, but still […]
