Good-bye dear Fenton

…with contentment, pleasure, and deep affection, we created a new standard for Fenton, who later began to develop very strong opinions and expectations of us. His feed was soaked and delivered to him initially 5 times, and later (as his round, polka-dot tummy took shape) 4 times a day. Fenton found the joy of eating, and always had a fresh bucket of sweet tea hanging in his beloved stall. Like so many of the previously abused, Fenton loved his stal…

Delilah Update: Under Saddle Training

Her work has become a source of fulfillment. Under saddle she tells us a story of an athleticism, an unparalleled work ethic, and a desire to please…and be pleasing.

September 2016 Adoption Celebration: Boomer

…ears old, and “he taught me so much,” she shared. “I knew I’d want a companion for my other horse, Sugar, but I wasn’t ready right away. But I knew that Sugar, who was dedicated to Justice, would need a new friend.”   Justice had been a retired mounted police horse, and Julie wanted the same again, if she could find one. But she also wanted a donkey, which was a dream of hers. “When I went to Red Bucket, Susan gave me a tour herself and I was just…

Tasha

…They were terrified, distrusting, highly defensive, and completely untouchable. Today, thanks to Red Bucket, Kimberly, Lauren, and our committed team of dedicated volunteers who keep getting up every morning to serve our mission of serving horses, both of the fillies are flourishing. They are halter trained, stand nicely while being groomed, politely offer their hooves to be picked, and they enjoy the feeling of being touched, groomed, and cared f…

Steele

…nt. This beauty will be best served as a family member, best friend or companion.  Facebook: Meet baby Steele.  Instead of being trailered to a feed lot, and then shipped to slaughter in Mexico, our new little youngster found refuge with us at Red Bucket.
