buildings, barns and babies

These past few days have been busy ones. Our volunteer weekend went well, again with many helping hands that have helped us come closer to finishing projects. Our big projects are still unfinished but getting closer.
Our 4 stall barn is up and we are working on the roof. It is a priority for us to complete the barn as we will be having our mare Mia and her foal, which we DO expect and day now :) return to the rescue a few days after she foals.
In addition to the barn our donated building has been dismantled and relocated to the rescue. It will be started once the site for its location is prepared. It will be the new office/volunteer center.
We have had another small building donated which needs small repairs and will become our tack room.
Our second run in shelter is framed and is waiting for roofing and siding to be put to use.
Following the relocation of several of these buildings we hope to build a small enclosed area ~20'x 20' to use for vet and farrier care and care of the horses.
Our next volunteer weekend is May 8/9. Our tack swap and sale was originally planned for that weekend but our site work needs to be our priority. We expect the tack swap and sale to be late May, the date will be confirmed and posted.

Our horses Sugar, Shadow and Kalib have been adopted and will all go into training at their new homes. we will post updates on all. On site, Jake, Mya, and Kay are all back in training thanks to our new volunteer trainers, thank you Bethe and Randy. Look for their bio's soon.

Bare with us on site updates and emails, we are busy at the ranch.If you would like to join our efforts and become a regular volunteer or more please contact us. We are in need of a volunteer coordinator and an on site assistant. Please contact us info@loneoakrescue.org
