…on him down to the trot. He wasn’t the least bit rude about it, but communicated clearly that he knew the rules and intended to play by them. Grande definitely didn’t want to be babied, unless it was with a bedtime kiss. It is hard to decipher whether his bold trot and big canter and overall happiness to work were more the result of the change in his routine, the healthy weight, nutritious diet or something else. I am pretty sure that while all…

…lued, safe and regarded. Our eyes will not be closed. Welcome Durham. Facebook Update: We hate to over use a phrase, but haven’t found a replacement that has the same emotional…or spiritual impact.

Lee and the Wags and Menace Make a Difference Foundation th…

Red Bucket Equine Rescue Forever Home Found #170 – Dixon
…ring any baggage. He left the past in the past and embraced his new life completely. He was completely remarkable….and we knew a few things about his past…he had every right to have a grudge or two. Instead, he captivated us with his gentle benevolence, his softness, his forgiveness. He walked softly, initiated friendships (umm…except with Ranger), eagerly demonstrated a desire to learn…to please…to love. He also let us know that it was his time,…

Cover Girl
…o could not…would not turn her back. Neither will we. We welcome Cover Girl, and declare our commitment to her, and other unwanted horses that face the potential horrific and degrading fate in a foreign slaughter yard. Cover Girl will have the opportunity to be trained, and groomed…not only her coat, which still has the soft and fuzzy texture of a youngster, but groomed into a reliable and trusted mount, and one day adopted into a home that will c…
Scarlett’s Story
…d, or her heroics in willing herself not to drop her foal until she knew that it would be safe. Although she would not allow us to ever touch her, she did not overtly interfere with our handling of Cupid, administering his medication, or checking his legs. Perhaps a less wise mother would have created a fuss…a fuss that would have frightened a baby, who already had endured so much stress, even before he was born. She showed herself to be brave, st…

Behren Update
…accompanies “Winning”. The jump starting (and the greed that accompanied it) was of course, his downfall. He bowed both front tendons, and with the suddenness of an unexpected tornado, went from hopeful… to hopeless. We were lucky to have rescued him, within moments of him walking onto the trailer that would transport him to a horrific and unspeakable demise. We named him Behren…dubbed him our Baby Bear, and devoted ourselves to his rehabilitation…
February 2014 Horse Highlight: Knox
…, and Dr. Suess has joined the happy line-up. As a compatible grouping, they go out together for enrichment play and freedom to run around like, yes, “knuckleheads!” Horses are herd animals, and this kind of play is great for their mental attitude making them feel as if they are in a more natural environment. Even though Knox enjoys his playtime, he is a great riding horse and has a western persona as a “dude.” He is a solid citizen on the trail a…
