December 2013 Volunteer Highlight: Pam Stocksdale
…how the dull look in their eyes becomes something bright and hopeful. I love watching them get all excited to be let out into the arena to run and play, just to be the carefree horses they were born to be. They fascinate me, and I want to learn all I can about them. Red Bucket has restored my faith in humanity, knowing that there are people willing to give up their time and money to help these defenseless animals.” While trying to figure out how…

With a welcomed change of fortune from when Red Bucket had first rescued the two, Bruce and Thunder Pants found a forever home with Louise, who loves them.

…and saw her hungry, pleading, and suffering eyes we were committed to her immediately. Our volunteers and neighbors have responded with empathy, love and support for this fragile new friend. We are honored and privileged to do this deeply meaningful work. For today, we carry a heaviness in our heart that these atrocities occur against innocent animals that have no voice of their own. For the future, we look forward to the day when on Monday round…
June 2016 Adoption Celebration: Juble
…so happy. “Cosmo loves his new companion. They were friends almost immediately. They are truly so great together. I really would like people to read this and consider adopting donkeys. They are absolutely wonderful!” If you’re wondering, Red Bucket moved Blossom in with Bilek, a geriatric horse who needed a companion.

…arted and ready for a home where he will be loved and adored to pieces!” Sporty will make a perfect family horse. He enjoys feeling ‘special’ and having an important job to accomplish. He gets along well with other horses and requires very little maintenance.

June 2014 Volunteer Highlight: Michelle Mendez
…rientation, still never mentioning anything to Susan. She only knew I completed the application because she recognized me at orientation last May!” Michelle was drawn to our group because of the horses AND because of the way it is run. “I loved the way Susan coached our company team,” she shares. “Her patience and knowledge really impressed me, and I figured this same work ethic surely must be applied to running the Ranch. And I wasn’t wrong! I…
