They say birds of a feather flock together…in this case it appears to be true for grays, although the Warmblood/Quarter Horse component does not appear to be an issue! In our dedication to continue to enrich the lives of our Treasured Residents, we persist in building herds that allow for and foster the mind, body and spirit…and…the horses’ innate requirement … Read More

October 2018 Horse Highlight: Denny
Curious, confident and the quintessential gentlemen…”Denny” is a big, beautiful Warmblood who is full of personality combined with an amazing disposition.

October 2018 Adoption Story: Cupid XO
He knows he’s clever. His stable buddy, a thoroughbred named Magic, will race across the arena to show off his ability with speed. Yet, the stocky pinto pony knows the trick to beating Magic: before the lengthy thoroughbred can reach the other end, the quick- witted pony runs across the middle of the arena to cut him off like a … Read More

The first time that he bit me was the first time that I groomed him, it was crushing and defensive with the exhaust of … Read More
Brodie Update
We sure do love getting photos of our treasured Red Bucket horses from their loving forever families. Hard to imagine that this impeccably cared for boy was once slaughter bound, terrified, and unwanted. Today he and his two “brothers”, also adopted from Red Bucket, are cherished, adored, and very much wanted! Oh, and yes…they get turn-down service at bedtime!
The Honor of Serving
We are pausing for a moment to reflect upon the honor of serving our treasured residents, valued team members, and community. The work of rescue is arduous, filled with long hours, sleepless nights, weary bodies, and unquestionable heartbreak. With summer winding down we have still-vivid memories of steamy days of scrubbing and refilling stock tanks, wiping down auto waterers, and … Read More
Red Bucket Summer Hay Drive
Summer is a brutal time for Horse Rescues and many non-profit organizations. Hay prices and operating expenses soar and due to summer schedules and vacations. Many supporters temporarily forget about our horses urgent needs and ongoing lifesaving work. Please help us fill our hay barn…and fill our horses bellies. Pennies make dollars, and dollars feed horses! We greatly appreciate all … Read More
Clarabelle Update!
What a difference a little over a year…and a lot of TLC makes. The very sick and feral little Clarabelle, who arrived at Red Bucket just a little over a year ago, is now a healthy and well adjusted youngster. Little Clarabelle has been weaned, halter trained, and assigned to a mentor “Pop-Pop” Casey, who teaches our little redhead … Read More
