Our Kami-Corder has captured a shot of 18 hour old little Kami stepping out onto her sun porch under the watchful eye of her momma Marlee (and the close supervision of the Red Riding Hoods)…. The fresh air and sunlight exposed a light sprinkling of freckles across Kami’s pink velvety muzzle as she took her first wobbly and tentative baby … Read More

Meet Roulette. Roulette a long with the latest batch of pregnant feral mares was rescued from slaughter with three other 3 month old orphans. We do not want to think of what happened to their mothers…but we do know that she was filthy, terrified, and while mixed in with frantic pregnant mares, Roulette was very much alone. She too was … Read More
Wyatt the long lost treasure
Stories of successful rescues warms our hearts. We get to learn of lovely, deserving, and soulful horses like Wyatt. Wyatt had been a stray….that is animal control speak for dumped. Found wandering the streets hundreds of pounds underweight, hungry and hurt. No surprise that no one claimed him…they didn’t want him…that is rescue speak for “unwanted”, and in Wyatt’s case … Read More

Red Bucket Equine Rescue # 210- Tula
While we take pride in running a very professional operation, it would be less than honest if we didn’t admit to squealing when we caught our first glimpse of Baby Tula.

Red Bucket Equine Rescue #202, #203, #204
They say that there are 3 sides to every story…”her” side, “his” side, and what actually happened. We certainly got an ear full of both sides of this story, but from our perspective, it is the horses side that we focus on and that we are committed to resolving and serving. The call was urgent. The woman was panicked….and ill … Read More
Red Bucket Equine Rescue # 201- Petunia
Tis the season….naught or nice??? While we will be the first to admit that donkeys are delightfully naughty…and we adore them for it, we don’t think for a second that Santa would bring a donkey a …piece of coal.

Red Bucket Equine Rescue #199 – Mr. Rogers
We constantly marvel at the tenacity and resilience of the donkey. Far be it for a Red Riding Hood to ever call one of our donkey friends stubborn ….or use a despairing label or name. We do however have great respect and affection for these intelligent, thoughtful, and ever so endearing little beings. We also know that the very tenacity … Read More
