Stay tuned there will be updates on his progress and I am supporting Sabine to raise the Sanctuary Profile and create some amazing retreats in the near future.

A meridian and chakra session with Ricky, myself and the lovely Fiona Adams. It was such a profound experience being so connected to this little guy, the trust we have is truly amazing and I've totally enjoyed working with him and learning heaps and understanding his language.

Such a blessing I feel very grateful to care for this cheeky bu**er!

I do love the birds when I see Ricky. Such a beautiful morning today. Recovery is going well, he's back to his cheeky self, eating a tonne!! And now we are preparing for relocating in the coming weeks.
Thankyou to everyone for the support 💓

🦘 Wildlife warrior and ⚠️traffic controller this morning.!!
Saved this guy by lowering the fence, I noticed him stuck on my side of the paddock since yesterday.

Then was on the road with heavy trucks 🚛coming past coz his little legs couldn't jump the fence of the paddock on the other side 🤦‍♀️
He made it safely!

The recovery Day 2.. Ricky has been very low energy, subdued and definitely not himself. He's not eaten and their no antibiotics or pain killers either.

I was worried and so called the vets..
💯the wound area and inflammation is very good. 👍
😢 but there's a respiratory infection which is why he's so unwell, my poor boy.

He had a dose of meds and some fluid via tubing in his nose, and then got a blood nose from the tubing.

By the time I left him this evening he perked up and was tasting some veggies and enjoying some grass.

Tomorrow is a new day. 💖💖💖

Thankyou to everyone who has supported and continue to support Ricky and I.
He is recovering well, a bit doey, moving well, all is good! I put the harness on today and have him a walk around. Lots of cuddles and pats today ❤

11/02/2022

So today was a special day...
I put the rope on Ricky and with the help of Kevin we easily put the harness on Ricky.
He was such a good boy, easily compliant with us and was loaded cuddles from the pony. I didn't realise he was actually just a big sook!

Dr Jack and Louise from Baldivis Vet Hospital were amazing a did a brilliant job with Ricky's castration today. Thank you team.

Ricky was a sleepy boy waking up there was no stress and he's happy recovering in a smaller grassy paddock.
He even has his hooves filed...a hoofi-cure .😆

A massive part of the mission accomplished today.
So grateful for all of the support.

My friend visits me every Wednesday and Fridays and has done for the past couple years. I'm so lucky people with kind hearts love me.

What Ricky doesn't know is he touches all of us with his cheekiness, his openness to be loved and his capacity to learn.

06/02/2022

Today my friend left to go to his new grassy patch..see ya ol mate!

02/02/2022

Unconditional love is inherent in all of us.
Thank you to my anonymous friend that gives me some hay each week

27/01/2022

Im always happy to see my ma, although I'm a little impatient at times!
Today I had more training, I'm still getting used to the lead rope over my head. But I've learnt more and know I'll get there soon.

25/01/2022

Morning, simple training today getting used to a rope over me. It's ok I don't mind it so far.
Love Ricky x❤

Thankyou everyone for following the progress..
Kevin came to see what Ricky was all about yesterday.
I was lent some trailer gates from a kind guy and shifted them Saturday with some help 🙏 ❤ from my supportive partner.

7am Sunday morning, to beat the heat, Kevin tied together a round pen with the gates. Ricky remained curiously comfortable and the trust we have and how relaxed he feels with Kevin, Ricky had no trouble coming into the pen for his work.

With no stress Ricky responded well to working with Kevin. I leant a lot from the side lines not just in the way Kevin works with Ricky physically with ropes and movement. I see the relationship between horse and man. It is intangible this language of love with respect and trust for one another.

This language is communicated from heart, from experience and from will. All of these aspects combine from the intangible world within us to the tangible world outside of us, expressed in what actions we take and how we apply the Action.

We do things with intent whether you are conscious our not of this at the time. A lot of how we act and respond is on auto pilot. I invite you to recognise how you are intending your actions today.

Why do you do what you do in the way that you do it? Observe your own thoughts and actions. What are you expressing from your inner world. Does this come from love, respect and trust ❤

Ricky teaches me a lot about myself. I love him dearly.
Thank you my friend 🙏 😍 ❤

Thankyou from Ricky and me
To all the amazing people who have donated and I've spoken to providing guidance from their experience as horse trainers, my friends and family, horse owners, horse rescuers, Vets and a Dentist!

Your compassion and advice has been invaluable as the initial steps where taken to educate myself to begin such a mega mission!

To the kind souls that have reached out to someone they know to see if they could help in any way, I deeply thank you. Your action with compassion helped to bring us one step closer, even if it didn't eventuate an outcome your resourcefulness and willingness has had an impact to the urgency of the mission 👏 ❤

If you're reading this and not horsey-like, (that's me too!) What I am aiming to do now in 5 weeks is what can take 4-6 months.

We are now on the road and making it happen! We still have a way to go but step 1 starts Sunday, working with Ricky to trust humans and learn a few things that will help him. Thank you I can't wait!!

21/01/2022

Love this guy 💖🥰💖🥰

20/01/2022

After contacting many experienced and referred handlers, some amazing people have stepped forward.
We are one in step closer!
