With great regularity, I sit across from my clients (during my “other” day job) and counsel them to stop taking business so personally. Business is business; it is not personal. Frequently, I facilitate helping my clients with defining the mission and vision of their organizations. In these cases, I do everything possible to help my clients out of their left brain … Read More
Happy Anniversary Jenon
Bentley came to us a victim of the unspeakable…..he was knowingly starved down to a body score of 1. His skeleton was so painfully prominent that his hip bones threatened to pierce his hyde, he wobbled at the walk, and could not initially even lay down. It is safe to say that we held our breathes during those first few critical … Read More
Three little foals coming soon…
Spring has sprung…or at least it is making a very strong effort. Our orchard is prematurely boasting new buds, the air is full of the promise of the fragrance of blooming flowers yet to come, and new life is starting to make an appearance by way of birds trumpeting the joy of the arrival of a nest full of chirping youngsters … Read More

Wyatt the long lost treasure
Stories of successful rescues warms our hearts. We get to learn of lovely, deserving, and soulful horses like Wyatt. Wyatt had been a stray….that is animal control speak for dumped. Found wandering the streets hundreds of pounds underweight, hungry and hurt. No surprise that no one claimed him…they didn’t want him…that is rescue speak for “unwanted”, and in Wyatt’s case … Read More
The Donkeys are in Charge
Our horses and donkeys come to us victims of unspeakable abuse. They have been starved, roped, choked, tripped, beaten….and they have thankfully survived. We have the distinct honor of providing a safe landing pad in which to allow them to heal, rehabilitate, and be trained, and a platform for which to repair and rebuild a shattered trust. In our ongoing … Read More
21 Additional Horses Saved:
Red Bucket Equine Rescue takes the “Rescue” part of our name VERY seriously. Our deeply held belief is that we need to do our part, then stretch just a little bit more, and then…save one more. The Sunday after we successfully rescued our recent 19 slaughter bound (with 13 pregnant mares) horses, we were alerted to an ADDITIONAL 9 pregnant, registered … Read More
Red Bucket Equine Rescue #207- Cupid xo
Well, the saying “sugar and spice and everything nice” has been over used, in this case it is certainly true.

He makes up for his short stature with tons … Read More

Red Bucket Equine Rescue # 210- Tula
While we take pride in running a very professional operation, it would be less than honest if we didn’t admit to squealing when we caught our first glimpse of Baby Tula. She came to us high risk and injured…and completely sight unseen. She has delighted us with her charming personality and sweet nature. Though she came to us un-handled, she … Read More
