training

A new update on a few of our horses.... we currently have 3 horses out with the trainer. they will be available for adoption or continued training in approx 3 weeks. We are happy to report things are going well, Jake and Mia are both being ridden and doing well. Kay has been started and is making great progress. more updates and pictures to follow.

For those of you behind the scenes, thank you for your support during my move. There have been fewer volunteer days due to the family crisis, but we are hoping to settle into regular days once again in the near future. Thank you all for your patience and support.

some updates

This blog has been quiet for too long and for that I apologize. For those of you who are in frequent contact you know my family increased by 4 and it has been a struggle. Many thanks for the great supporters that I have I could not have been able to make it this far without you. This rescue is a small one comprised of individuals like myself with full time jobs and families and many obligations to juggle along with taking care of the rescue business.
Things are slowly coming back together, both computers going down did not help the situation, again, my apologies but soon there will be photos to share.

As for the herd, our sponsored rescues have gone home to their owners and we have 2 of our 4 still in process of recovery, the mule Jester and mare Rosa are slowly gaining their weight back and roaming the hills in the pasture. They are available for sponsorship and recovery homes. The gelding Adonis is a spirited boy, he is well trained and looking for a home with an experienced rider simply because he is a strong horse, we are working on better ground manners. Queenie went out to her new home and is doing well.

Peppy has gone out to his new home and we have several others who have inquiries on. Due to job transfers and family illness we have had 2 horses come back to the rescue, they are Mia and Macy. There are already inquiries on the both of them.

It is my hope that we place 3-4 horses in the next two weeks to enable us to attend the next auction. The auction date is set for july 23. We are hoping to rescue directly from the auction yard and not let them get as far as the kill buyers lot, nor let any of our rescue dollars end up in his pocket.

Please watch for further updates and more volunteer days.

Lordy's new home....

Yesterday was road trip time, Lordy went to his new home, at the end of the long road was a wonderful home waiting with Jean and Pat. Lordy is the perfect match for Pat, we know he will be spoiled with his large stall and paddock and many sandy trails and arenas to work in.

latest updates,

Just a quick update this morning.... our quarantine is up and Bo and Jax have gone to their new home with Sally. Lordy goes to his new home today and we have 3 possible new adoptions..... we are happy to be finding some wonderful new homes for these great horses.

Thank you all for your efforts and support. Weather it be helping feed and muck, or with a phone call passing our name and info on our horses to interested persons, we are successful in our efforts because of you.

Soon I will be our with the camera and sharing more pictures. We will also be having a promotion coming soon with a wonderfully talented equine photographer.... watch for more information coming soon!

updates...

June has arrived, though the weather seems more like March, one day sunny the next is cold, windy and raining. Rain or shine, this week draws our quarentine to a close, and Bo and Jax will he headed home. Also going out will be Lordy. There are new visitors coming to see the herd and hopefully more new homes will be the result. Our volunteer days have been few with bad weather and the Quarentine most barns have been under, but with summer vacations about to be upon us we hope to be seeing more of you again soon.
We hope to have an individual working with us to help with training needs, more news to come. We welcome experienced individuals to contact us if interested in our training needs.
New pictures coming soon, as well watch for updates on Petfinder on our horses available...

new happenings and pictures

This week was another busy one, we were proud to be invited to the Fallon Elementary school carnival. The kids loved meeting our ponies Tina and Rio and they loved the attention. Despite the wind, balloons loud speakers and the crowd, Tina and Rio stood patiently for many little petting hands.
both by the young
and younger...
and younger yet, this little one was trying to make "horsey noises"
We enjoyed our little visit and we were able to inform more people what a rescue is all about.
back on the ranch there were exciting things happening.... Keeva had her first riding lesson
She was a little unsure about everything, but calmly accepted all that was new. We are sure she will be a great one for a therapeutic program. She is very friendly and patient.
With quarantine drawing to a close was time to see how Queenie was, we are happy to say she is a very sensitive little mare, and a pleasure to ride.
as well some of the other horses got some exercise from our volunteers, thank you all for your efforts, we couldn't do this without your help.

pictures to share

We were pleasantly surprised by our golden boy Adonis today. He showed us he has a wonderful manner under saddle. He is a well trained gaited horse. Out of saddle he is full of energy and is suited to a strong rider who is accustomed to handling a high energy horse.
Christines trail ride on Peppy is pictured below, they were joined by Joy and Savannah on Rajah and Cass. Peppy still needs to gain weight so it was a short ride. He is slowly gaining his weight back and will be regaining his muscle as well. with short work sessions. Christine is doing a great job with him and Peppy really loves the attention.
Jean took Lordy for a ride and he quickly won her over, we hope to be taking him to his new home soon.
