…thday the day that they are adopted, as that very special day represents a new beginning and the first day in a family that has committed to loving, care-taking, and treasuring that horse forever. Champ, a stunning registered Paint, was rescued at a slaughter auction, barely avoiding a horrifying and brutal end. Clearly he had no value to whoever had dropped him off, as he was skinny with uncared for feet and a dejected and frightened eye. He was…
Red Bucket Equine Rescue Forever Home Found #186 – Justin
…king with others to achieve successful rescue…and re-homing. This morning, Justin woke up in his new home with Sherri. He is once again in a loving home on Sherri’s beautiful farm with a roomy stall, paddock, fellow horse friends, and a new promise for a beautiful life. We might add that he also woke up in a new blanket to the first of four warm meals (Justin’s teeth had not been cared for, and hay is not an option). Please join us in thanking all…
Red Bucket Equine Rescue # 255 – Crescendo
…eled his new bucket, Diana carefully filled it, and Shannon gave him a new name, Crescendo, that will accompany him on his journey to health, his second chance, and one day a forever home that will treasure and love him. Until then, we will find ways to nurture him and fill every moment with reassurance and tenderness. Crescendo’s new neighbor, Baldwin, lends a benevolent presence and seems to reassure our newest resident that life is good, horses…
Striker and Rexanne…Happily Ever After
Before she committed, she was committed. As a new volunteer, way back in the very beginning of Red Bucket, Rexanne rolled up her sleeves and offered to help. We were definitely busy and possibly bordering on overwhelmed when our little grass roots rescue grew overnight, assimilating 42 new horses in varying stages of injury, severe starvation, and neglect. Twenty two of those horses were stallions, among them Striker. Striker came to us with a gi…
Forever Home Found: Grande
…f tears as we bid farewell to our special friend. The haulers couldn’t believe that this spectacular horse is a “rescue”. Correction, Grande is a Red Bucket Horse, and he has a brand new life. Grande will arrive at his new home Friday, we are pretty sure that his very own family isn’t sleeping until he is safely home…forever. Happy life big guy…xxoo….
Emma’s Chance
…all of our visitors and are the first to greet new horses…and the last to bid them farewell…when they leave us for their new forever homes. Red Bucket is a volunteer organization and therefore it seemed fitting that the “extras” and background actors were real volunteers. The majority of the horses used in the movie were real rescue horses who either still live on the ranch or have been adopted into loving homes. The ranch and all of the props are…
Red Bucket Equine Rescue # 119-Lulu
…yer now separated from Hot Wheels and distracted by caring for a newcomer, was spared the distress of losing her best friend first hand. Sawyer is intelligent, empathetic and perhaps the most intuitive horse that we have ever met. We know that she is deeply grieving the loss of her friend….we are giving her time and space. What is so touching, is that on some level….she clearly gets it. She knows that we all still have jobs to do…the self appointe…
Knox update
…e has a growing fan club of Red Riding Hoods who appreciate the juxtaposition of his steely determination and his tender vulnerability. His gait, his heart, and his mood are light…his feet barely skim the ground as if the heaviness of shedding his armor has freed him, inviting a new Knox to enjoy life and a new identity. We expect that by the Holidays, Knox will have a family of his very own, and that his transformation from unwanted to wanted wil…
Darcy and Mathe are doing Fantastic!
…rst week of life…sheexperienced the world beyond the confinement of her stall and breathed the air and visualized a world that she did not know existed. Her mother is slowly returning to her new normal…a world of of kindness and consistency, and people who can be counted on. Life has taken a very new direction for Darcy…and life is just beginning for Mathe….

Like so many other rescues, she seems surprised by the kindness that is shown to her, and she is grateful. It is an honor for us to serve our four new additions… Parker, Tess, Sawyer and Harris. We are so grateful to care for them, nurture them, and prepare them for their second chance. Thank you all for your support, it is only through your generosity t…
