…mal can attest to the patience and persistence that may be required to welcome a new member into the family. For Amber Coleman, 7 months of searching for the right horse had led her to Red Bucket Equine Rescue. Even though it took another 4-5 months to find Valentine, Amber was comforted by Red Bucket because she was never pressured for a decision. Conversely, Red Bucket was dedicated to finding the right horse for Amber. According to Amber, “Su…
Joey and Buffy
…the only equine on the ranch to sport more “write-ups” for conduct unbecoming a Red bucket horse is Joey himself. Joey has taken his new role of life coach, mentor and big brother very seriously. While he spends a good deal of time “bossing” Buffy around and keeping her out of donkey trouble, he also carefully guards her little self as she naps in the afternoon sun. We all get to be loved, and sometimes the healing comes from loving and caring for…
Kolcheck
…trailer might be scratched. We were left with a beautiful and spectacular 10 year old gelding who has the promise of a second chance, and one day a new adopter who will deeply care about him, and take measures to make sure that he is never discounted again. It is our pleasure to welcome Kolcheck….
Winni, Coco and little Joey as “big kids”
…o, …and little Joey spent their first night as “big kids” in our newly appointed nursery (right next to the “paint department” which houses the two bff paints, Mozart and Cody Oats). We can declare the first night safely under our belts, but we aren’t sure if the separation was harder on us…..or Elliot, our patriarch (yup, basically BOSS donkey) who kept the entire farm awake calling for little Coco and Joey to return to the herd. With the over-pr…
Red Bucket Equine Rescue #186-Liberty
……e ever encountered. She became “nana” to our other wild donkeys, calming them with her friendly and gentle nature… and teaching them that treats are yummy, and people are kind. She was adopted and found her way to her new “forever home” as a companion and friend to Curly. One week ago today, her daughter, Liberty was born. While Windy had a tough week and struggled with colic, today Mamma and baby are safe and thriving. We are counting them both……
The Irresistible Adventures Of Mr. Rogers:
……as there simply are no words. There are also smaller moments that are comprised of a cumulation of consistency, tenderness, and time. These almost invisible moments build on one another creating a new life in place of a vacant shadow. In the metamorphosing of an equine that begins to thrive rather than survive, they actually begin to look forward to morning and experiences pleasure; we stop to celebrate…and sometimes, laugh. Mr. Rogers might stil…

Red Bucket Equine Rescue Forever Home Found #64- Scout
…he arena…a gentleman on trail, and ground manners that might compel Emily Post to add a chapter to her book. We suppose, that Scout singlehandedly could change the definition of “unwanted” or “rescue”. Now he has his very own family who will cherish him and make him feel wanted every day. While none of the Red Riding Hoods had dry eyes…and Scouts new family certainly didn’t have dry eyes….but Scout’s eyes were bright and sparkled as he stepped off…
April 2016 Culture Message
…adjusted for the horse. In my experience, too often one will become overly committed to a technique and use it as a crutch, and therefore be more limited as a rider and less effective. This results in not being aware of what the horse is trying to tell us, or demonstrating a commitment to learning to truly be effective. For this reason, at Red Bucket we train, care for, and handle our horses by way of our operating values and not one specific tech…
Brix
…remarkable act of compassion. He is a Red Bucket permanent resident. Facebook Welcome: Sometimes numbers mean a lot. In his 15 years, he has most likely never had a proper grooming (you know….rubber currycomb, 3 brushes, hoof pick…a little elbow grease…a lot of TLC), or a mutually loving and respectful relationship with a human being. He was on his way into a killer pen when a rescue colleague temporarily circumvented the road to slaughter and c…
