Spring has arrived early at Red Bucket! Stella and the Red Riding Hoods proudly present Trese RB. Her name is pronounced “Tresa” as she is lovingly named after our beloved veterinarian and benevolent friend and supporter, Dr. David Treser. Had she been a boy, we would have named him Doc T…either way, we wanted to thank and honor Dr. Treser … Read More
Adoption Update: Viroko
It has been 5 years (and 3 months…but who is counting…?) since Amanda adopted her beloved and treasured Dutch Warmblood, Viroko, from Red Bucket. He was a Christmas gift from her Grandmother…and Amanda’s very own dream come true. He is pictured in the middle…wearing jammies and enjoying being a horse. He has the luxury of living at home and spending … Read More
Adoption Update: River
In May of 2009 River was facing death. He was starving, hopeless and shattered. Red Bucket rescued him just hours from the imminent and very real threat of a one-way trip to a Mexican slaughter plant. That was then…this is now. He is loved, happy, thriving…and home. Sierra adopted River from Red Bucket six years ago, and yes, forever really … Read More
Pilot in Hollywood
While many of our friends were watching Super Bowl commercials on Sunday, Pilot was in Hollywood making one of his own…or at least starring in one. Pilot will represent rescue horses in the upcoming ASPCA Public Service Announcement, which will air in April to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the ASPCA. Pilot, who of course already has a starring role … Read More
Bilek and Blossom
Bilek was the first horse that we were able to rescue when we first moved to the horses’ ranch in Chino Hills. We were initially filled with a sense of empowerment, as our own ranch allowed us to say “yes”, to do the right thing, and of course…save another life. We were then filled with a disturbing mixture of sadness, … Read More

We also think that a picture can best illustrate that friendships and love come in all sizes…Justin and his beloved roommate have become not only inseparable, … Read More

This week Red Bucket turns seven years old! Perhaps a picture is worth 1,000 words…or hundreds of horses saved and re-homed. Yes, this is Dashiel jumping a park bench in a cross country clinic in Wales! Dashiel was adopted 6 years ago and represents the 321 horses saved and the nearly 200 horses that Red Bucket has placed into loving, … Read More

Red Bucket Equine Rescue Celebrates Second Chances and Spectacular Sport horses, companions, friends…and forever family members!
When Lily came to us she was emaciated and untrained…heck, at 2 years old she was slowly starving to death…and she wasn’t even halter trained. Today she is trained, healthy, and very affectionate. We are so grateful to give horses like Lily a second chance! Please forward this post to your kind and compassionate friends! The year approaches and we … Read More
