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
Red Bucket Equine Rescue Forever Home #193 – OhSo
It is safe to say that OhSo awoke pinching himself at his good fortune…he has been adopted and is now the dream-come-true for Michelle, who could barely leave his side (or stall) to return to work this morning. It is also safe to say that Michelle is “OhSo” over the moon, and that her feet have not touched the ground. … Read More
Summer Internship Program
Our Summer Internship Program is in full swing…and Amy swung up on Acteur, our resident comic…athlete …love bug! Acteur gave Amy a little taste of just how athletic he is as they both enjoyed a hack in our beautiful training arena. Red Bucket still has a few summer internships and working student positions available. Interested candidates can email Susan@redbucketrescue.org. … Read More
Rosie
Rosie is getting in shape for this summer! She is every girl’s (and boy’s) fantasy. Perfectly trained in English and Western, she enjoys both trail and arena riding, is lovable, and appreciates lots of attention and grooming. With four white socks and a feminine dished face accented with a blaze, she is the complete package! Oh, and yes…for those who … 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
Red Bucket Equine Rescue Forever Home Found #191 – Lily
In what is truly a rags-to-riches story, Lily has risen from the ashes of starvation, desperation and a neglectfulness that resulted in her being untrained, unconfident, and ultimately unwanted. Our work places great emphasis on gifting our horses with the time that they need to recover and regain their self-esteem, rehabilitation in which to heal, and training in which to … 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
Good-bye, dear Tilley
Tilley had spent a great number of years not mattering. When hay prices skyrocketed, her owner of a good many years gave her, without question, to a person who claimed that she had a home for her as a brood mare. Tilley immediately ended up at an auction that sells horses by the pound to kill buyers who send terrified … Read More
