Given the great success of our adoption program and the recent surge in horse inquiries, I have been reviewing a great number of applications of late. We carefully screen the applications as they provide us with helpful information in which to determine if an applicant is a good fit for our program, and whether or not we have a potential … Read More
April 2016 Adoption Celebration: Timmy
No such thing as “perfect”? Oh yes, there is! It’s the “match made in heaven” between Timmy the Arabian gelding and his new owner Susanna. At the risk of sounding corny, the two “complete” each other! Timmy’s life at the Ranch started after Kristine, a fellow rescuer and friend of Susan Peirce, responded to an ad on Craigslist where he … Read More

March 2016 Culture Message
Stella really did not want to be touched. I didn’t blame her a bit and frankly understood her body language well enough to know that there was good reason for turning away from my gentle, outstretched hand. On rare occasions, she tolerated my palm between her brow, but would recoil suddenly and either retreat from my light contact or flash … Read More
March 2016 Horse Highlight: Pilot
On an aircraft, the pilot or captain’s job is to navigate, guide and safely maneuver a plane. In many ways it is not so different from what a dependable, solid and square horse does for the rider. Meet our very own Red Bucket “Pilot” who is considered by all to be trustworthy, reliable and completely responsible…along with being utterly adorable! … Read More
