Our previously slaughter-bound fillies, Cronin and Keely, have just graduated to the “big girl stall”. Keely, our orphan, is just finishing her last bit of formula and Cronin (pictured) has celebrated her successful weaning from her lovely mother Leonie.

October 2015 Culture Message
Later I found out that it was Finbar who saved Seamus. It was early and I was well on my way to my “day job”. Typically, Finbar and his associate donkey Mr. Rogers are in their paddock in the early hours of a new day, supervising the morning activities and awaiting what amounts to room service, or the delivery of morning … Read More
Beloved Jack
Jack was the last of the “Malibu 5”; five geriatric and crippled horses who had been abandoned without food when a children’s camp moved, taking the “good horses” with them. We have had the privilege of caring for them, loving them…and the necessary accompanying pain of saying good-bye. At Red Bucket, we know that rescue is only the beginning…and we … Read More

October 2015 Adoption Celebration: Tarah and Landon
Good things come…in very large, furry packages and also to those who work hard, scrimp and squirrel away every penny earned toward the adoption fee of said large, furry package. Such is the case with Landon, the handsome Thoroughbred, and young horse lover Tarah Potts. Landon came to Red Bucket after a fellow rescuer alerted us to his plight and … Read More
Donkey Helpers
Donkeys are not only self-appointed security guards, they are very big helpers….and a little nosy! Like all of our residents…the donkeys too have a past…a story….”a place at the table”…and a future. TicTac was a stray and very feral from repeated abuse and a lack of proper socialization. Lizzie came to us wild…untouchable, highly mistrusting, and extremely frightened. Today, they … Read More
Red Bucket Equine Rescue Proudly Presents: Greer and Grammer
We continue to be puzzled and heartbroken by the tremendous number of innocent, beautiful and amazing equines that find themselves tragic victims of the slaughter industry.

Greer and Grammer (lovingly named after our beautiful and talented friend and … Read More
Bladwin’s Good-bye

He survived on meager rations of cattle grade alfalfa, eating off of piles of his own waste, with nothing to look forward to, hope for, or believe in. They had not cleaned the stall, cared for him…or noticed him in as … Read More
