Emma’s Chance Viewing
Thanks to the generosity of the Tim and Shannon Ballou Family, our treasured team members and their families enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime viewing of “our” movie, Emma’s Chance. We certainly have not laughed and cried like this together as a group before. The movie snacks were presented in red buckets….and “Chance’s” bucket was filled to the brim with nothing other than…root … Read More

Good-Bye Jack
Long ago we established a tradition of saying good-bye to our treasured horses who have taken the journey over the rainbow bridge. We lost Jack last year during the hectic holiday schedule, and frankly procrastinated having his memorial because the grief was too palpable and raw. We are not sure that we are less emotional, and it is a very … Read More
Red Bucket Equine Rescue #326 – Petey
While Miss Manners was born fragile, dainty and very petite, Petey was born all boy…and all donkey. His Mother, Tornado, is enjoying her well-deserved reward of a few cookies…and the handfuls of alfalfa added to her orchard grass breakfast. Petey fell asleep on his feet as we welcomed him to the world, and will join his niece Miss Manners in … Read More

Klondike Update
Klondike, who has disarmed us with his adorable nature, gentleness and friendly demeanor, was completely unconcerned when we bridled him, slipped a saddle on his back, or led him to the arena. As a matter of fact, he pretty much did not stop eating his dinner and continued to chew nonchalantly even after we swung up on his back. Suffice … Read More
Good-Bye Dear Striker
It is often true that a rescued animal picks us…we have seen it with our eyes, felt it in our hearts, and known it within the deep recesses of our souls. Seven years ago Striker chose Rexanne, she was his first real friend and shortly after his life saving rescue, Rex stepped up…..and stepped into Strikers life. He was angry … Read More
This is what a rescue horse looks like
Animal Control contacted us…they needed help. 24 horses had been seized due to malnutrition and chronic, ongoing neglect. Although we were full…and not funded…we said “yes” to one. It has always been our practice of tightening up our elbows at the dinner table…to help at least one more. We have “rescue” in our name, and we take the obligation to … Read More
