Red Bucket Equine Rescue #244- Kamerick (AKA Kami)
Our Kami-Corder has captured a shot of 18 hour old little Kami stepping out onto her sun porch under the watchful eye of her momma Marlee (and the close supervision of the Red Riding Hoods)…. The fresh air and sunlight exposed a light sprinkling of freckles across Kami’s pink velvety muzzle as she took her first wobbly and tentative baby … Read More
Welcome Baby Kami
Pregnant…starving…feral….and sold by the pound at a slaughter auction. They would take her baby from her in a violent and degrading final act. Marlee didn’t have anything to call her own…not a name, only a number crudely glued to her hip. Today she has a name, a red bucket, and the gift of dignity. Last night she gave her daughter … Read More
MCGarrah Update
Well…our patience and respectful distance has certainly paid off! We have made it clear to Darla and the many well-wishers who have been chomping at the bit, wanting to get a peek…or maybe a little feel of our adorable new born filly, McGarrah….that Darla is in charge! Initially defensive (rightfully so) and protective of her new baby, we allowed mom … Read More

Darla the best Mother on the planet!
We have declared Darla to be one of the best Mothers on the planet! While she is is very protective of her precious and very petite filly McGarrah, she is not unnecessarily defensive or distressed. With her watchful and protective mother calling the shots, we are slowly and incrementally making our divine little baby’s world a bit bigger every day. … Read More
Red Bucket Equine Rescue- Forever Home Found #101
They say that an adoption is a family affair, and in the case of our beloved Dr. Seuss, a few words go a very long way. Dr. Seuss hadn’t always had the best of luck, having been both abandoned and in need of rescuing…twice, but Dr. Seuss’ luck changed when he came to Red Bucket. When our Arizona friend, supporter, … Read More
