Adoption Update: Grande
…e other. The last four years have been spent trying to make the betrayal of his care and abandonment of his soul up to him. Three years ago, Brianna claimed him for her own and made a promise of forever that was free from expectations or conditions. Today, Grande’s life is complete. He is loved, safe and cherished, he is living a grateful life…and using every cell of his enormous heart to love Brianna back….
February 2014 Volunteer Highlight: Aileen Sheron
…e of the energizer bunny. She is smart, fit, compassionate, and super helpful to our organization. She is great with the horses, and was a key player in checking in and arranging donations for our silent auction items for the Ruby Red event. She is such an inspiration to us all. If there is one word to describe Aileen, it would be ‘healthy’. Whatever task we give her, she just runs with it; seriously, she really runs!” With a physically demanding…
This Horse is Polo…
…of our work in the end. So often lately, we have used the term “baggage free”, there must be some lesson that we can learn from the horse…their resilience, their desire to be a part of us…their willingness to forgive, and strangely not to hold a grudge.

They had continued to work and jump him…hard…in spite of him being very neurologic and having advanced and progressive ring bone in three of his feet.

June 2013 Volunteer Highlight: Susanna Woeste
…ng she would come back. She did, and has become in so many ways ‘My Rock’.” Jenon elaborates on how valuable Susanna has become to the organization. “On weekends when I am leading the volunteers and she is there, I always know that she is capable of whatever task needs attention. She is 100% present and always willing, and is so generous with her support and donations. She often delivers much needed applesauce, fly spray, salt rocks and other it…
October 2015 Adoption Celebration: Tarah and Landon
…e of and trust in her allowed him to overcome some of his insecurities and fears and become the reliable, confident horse he is today. Together they molded into a perfectly matched pair of horse and rider. During their daily exercise they either ride Western Pleasure in the arena or go out on the surrounding trails. Landon also continues his work on the obstacle course where he encounters such “scary” objects as cones, shopping carts, and fake duc…
February 2015 Culture Message
…slightly detectable budding confidence that radiated in the rhythmic communication from beneath me. The three fences were the final validation of two years of work, patience, and me re-learning to ride him the way in which he needed, and my horse re-learning not only his job, but his job description, one of partner.
