We have said it for many years…”However our treasured residents choose to use their enrichment is up to them; it’s their time”. In this case, Joey and Buffy have chosen to “spoon” in the sand and the sun! While this brought a smile to our lips, it ALSO BRINGS profound gratitude to our hearts! While their blissful happiness is evident, … Read More
October 2016 Culture Message
The weekend, and our recent loss, brought conversation about the Amazing Jack. Usually, we talk about our horses starting at the beginning. But our little impromptu gathering started the reminiscing near the end. His last few years had been a gift, and not one of us had taken it…or him…for granted. It seemed poignant that the conversation was sparked in … Read More
Good-Bye Jack
Long ago we established a tradition of saying good-bye to our treasured horses who have taken the journey over the rainbow bridge. We lost Jack last year during the hectic holiday schedule, and frankly procrastinated having his memorial because the grief was too palpable and raw. We are not sure that we are less emotional, and it is a very … Read More
October 2015 Culture Message
Later I found out that it was Finbar who saved Seamus. It was early and I was well on my way to my “day job”.

We have had the privilege of caring for them, loving them…and the necessary accompanying pain of saying good-bye. At Red Bucket, we know that rescue is only the beginning…and we … Read More
Joey and Buffy
Love, acceptance and protection can come packaged in unique, and often precious ways. Our very own naughty, loving, and frequently irreverent Joey has taken it upon himself to personally see to the upbringing and Charm Farm training of our resident orphan donkey, Buffy. This self-appointed guardian role is a bit ironic in that next to Buffy (who has yet to … Read More
Casting for The Horse Rescue Movie

Winni, like so many of our other wonderful horses, auditioned on Monday for the myriad of supporting roles available. The only one who seems confident and secure is Joey, who is working on a line of apparel, accessories, and … Read More
December 2014 Culture Message
Our core values tend to come by way of our primary years…our parents, families and early important influences. While as we age and mature, we certainly add values, or in some cases shed beliefs that no longer provide the foundational road map that allows us to navigate a purposeful life. This cycle clocks our emotional growth…and there are certain values … Read More
