…er delight, he is rock solid, sound, super attractive…with the most beautiful face. He has had training in English, Western and trail. Amy even popped him over some cross rails, he didn’t even think about it twice. His new mom, Nina thinks that he is perfect….and he is. Next week we will conduct his home visit, write his contract and then Shields will go home with Nina. The betrayal behind him, he will have a new family, a partner for life in Nina…
Where Is Wallace?
…Trinket and Penelope. Not in the photos that Marlene sent once our new little ones were loaded….and not a single image of him in the few photos that she took through the slats of the trailer at the rest stop. We kept asking, “Where is Wallace?”, and even when the trailer pulled into our driveway, it was Trinket and Penelope who emerged first, and only after quiet coaxing did the small brown pony hesitantly show himself, the auction number hot glue…
August 2015 Horse Highlight: Anchor Man
…m down. Something was “not right” with him. He had increasingly become an unhappy and rigid mover, showing much discomfort when people tried to ride him. The owner did not have the money to spend on the veterinary diagnostic tests, and as a last resort before putting him down, the owner called Red Bucket. That was the first positive step toward his wonderful new life! When Susan Peirce went to evaluate Anchor Man, she was concerned about taking an…
November 2013 Horse Highlight: Robin
…says Susan Peirce. “And with that complete love and attention, will come a loyal equine companion who will never disappoint or let his human down.” Robin is a horse who needs to be acknowledged. He is as dramatic as he is your protector and best friend. He was among a magnificently splendid circle of horses that ran on the Los Alamitos racetrack until their trainer was asked to leave because of animal cruelty and neglect. These horses were drop…
Guinness Part 1
…ned, and like Guinness, perfectly perfect! Like many of the horses who come to us for their second chances, he did not want to leave, planting all four feet and refusing to walk into the uncertainty of the trailer. With us he had found protection, acceptance, love, and a family. After two hours in the hot sun…and one last promise (Laura, his new forever mom, was waiting), he loaded into the trailer that would carry him into his new life. We all pa…
Red Bucket Rescue # 115- Spice
…as already made friends with Pixie and Darby Joe, and apparently his new girl friend is the ever so fiery Dolly. He is a great looking flea bitten grey with the most unusual swirl of cinnamon. While he is a bit thin and requires some first aid, we are happy to have him. We hear that he not only did hunters for several years, he also is claimed to have loved the barrels. Either way, one thing is for sure, this boy will go to someone who will cheris…
Thunder Pants Update
…hunder Pants has started to turn the corner…he has been gelded, he has a new hair do, and perhaps most importantly, he has landed safely in the care of Red Bucket. He had been previously scheduled to be euthanized…something that we find absolutely unacceptable. He is healthy and full of both personality and a desire to connect…and belong. We know that he wont be here long…he will soon be on his way to a new family, and a promise of forever. While…
Red Bucket Equine Rescue# 133- Dustin
…need of farrier work, and his teeth long over due, this little old man just has to be about the sweetest little guy that we ever met. He is politely grateful for all of the little kindnesses that are now becoming part of his new life. He woke up pinching himself this morning….he has a soft dry bed, plenty of fresh hay, and a brand new second chance at a happily ever after. Welcome Dustin!…
Red Bucket Equine Rescue Forever Home Found #160 – Lady Bug
…gage, a soft and grateful eye, and a warm enthusiasm for her new life. It seemed as if our Lady Bug had already lost so very much that she did not want to waste any time. In her healing journey, she met her forever match…a friend, protector and partner in her new venture…life. Diana seems to think that Lady Bug is similar to herself…she will list a few adjectives in support of her statement. We suspect there is more to their special connection, an…
