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
Mozart in Hollywood…
On the heels of Pilot’s success on the set of the ASPCA’s 150th anniversary PSA, Mozart hopped on the Red Bucket horse trailer and headed off to a studio just off of Melrose, a stone’s throw from Paramount. This time it was Mozart who stole the show, complete with his adorable “black and white” attire. The gracious and lovely Mary … 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

Standing at 17 hands tall, Rubix is described by … Read More
January 2016 Culture Message

The filter is both subtle and powerful at the same time and has the effect of a relentless vice that, while not quite painful, provides a steady and unyielding … Read More
January 2016 Volunteer Highlight: Shivani Joshi
FEEDING A CAUSE Food nurtures the body and soul. At Red Bucket, feeding time is also bonding time, and this month’s featured volunteer explains how she has grown and bonded with horses and Red Riding Hoods over the past year. ‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the Ranch, not a creature was stirring…except for Shivani Joshi! Shivani can often … Read More
January 2016 Adoption Celebration: Josie
Now, in her new forever home, this gorgeous Hanoverian bay mare is known by all who loveand adore her as Jo. To this day the sad fact remains that shelter animals are labeled as second-rate or even damaged goods, and rescued horses are no exception. Of course many of us know that nothing is further from the truth. Josie was … 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
Besties Donkey Watching
While we love to show off our wonderful horses’ faces, it is tough to do so when “besties” are out for a bit of enrichment and the favorite Red Bucket pastime of donkey watching! 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
