Pixie The Pony was initially rescued in 2009 by our good friend Shirley Puga. Pixie, was a baby at the time…at an auction with a brute ( thankfully since banned from the Bakersfield auction )She was ” ridden ” in  with a huge maniac on her little frame in a gigantic saddle engulfing her petite and underdeveloped body. Her eyes were full of pain and terror as he bullied and beat her. The bridle was huge as well, as was the severe bit drew blood, Shirley sprang to action saving the pony filly. We cried when we heard then…and again when Shirley called recently looking for help for Pixie. Pixie had found refuge and a family at Marley Farms…she also found her best friend, a little doll of a girl named Dakota. Dakota’s family lost their home and had to place over 200 animals. Pixie arrived at Red Bucket ( hauled by another special friend Doug Lake ) a bit bewildered and stiff from a long and hot journey. She is settling in nicely, making friends and enjoying her new ranch…and her red bucket. She is enveloped by Red Riding Hoods who have cried for Pixie, and the loss that Dakota and her family are suffering. Pixie will begin her saddle training this summer, we will carefully prepare her for anew life, and a special little girl who will love her forever. Many thanks to Shirley, Doug, and Dakota. Welcome Pixie The Pony.
