Lily is everything…and perhaps a little more than the compilation of Nikki’s dreams and desires. And Lily, like her sister Tatum, has a home of her very own and will live her life as a very much wanted horse! Congratulations to Lily and Nikki, and many happy years to come!…

Brinker’s “real job”

…tricks that he loves to boast, he counts, smiles, and kisses on command. While conventional exercise is clearly out of the question, he enjoys his barn walks, grazing, daily sandy rolls, the intimacy of grooming…and the relationship that accompanies all of the above. He has a happy and complete life, and he enriches ours, while reinforcing that the bond with horse need not occur or be restricted to sitting on their backs. He would be quick to dem…

Red Bucket Forever Home Update!

…d like a long awaited treasure. He no longer worries or wonders. He has been “home” now for over two years, he belongs somewhere safe and waits daily for his new mom, Michelle to come…she always does…and always will, that is what FOREVER means, and Caspian has found his happily ever after….

Welcome Baby Kami

Shortly little Kami will join her soon to be BFF Mcgarrah in our new nursery barn at night and will play in the East Paddock by day.

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…

Forever Home #43 – Piper

…iated to run through the auction, they were within hours of the kill truck coming to haul them to slaughter. We named her Piper. While she had been handled very little, she blossomed elegantly, showing herself to be intelligent, gentle, and a leader among the other horses. It is with a lump in our throats….and joy in our hearts, that we delight in announcing that Piper has found her second chance with the Jarek family. Piper was reported to have s…

…emed to lift, and while I am sure that the new feeding schedule which has clicked is partially responsible, I think that the consistent touch and compassion sprinkled with Confeddy’s friendship is mending Keely’s fractured little heart. Keely and Confeddy played in their turnout today; they bucked and sprinted around in a game of tag that left them breathing hard…and later napping curled up together in a stall that they share, pooped from all of t…
