Red Bucket Equine Rescue #176- Mercy
There are so many things that leave us scratching our heads, struggling to comprehend the illogical…the immoral.

Red Bucket Equine Rescue # 173- Bruce
There are many faces to abuse. There is also a reason that solitary confinement is the most severe form of punishment.
