Though we may not be able to communicate with words..animals have so much to teach us about our surroundings, life and compassion without an agenda other than jst being a true and honest creature. They find all kinds of interesting ways to express their feelings .
Our animal companions remind us to enjoy each moment, love without abandonment and find happiness in the little moments.And of course there is the funny side . They always make us laugh . 🤠❤️❤️

Pinky the turkey is my special needs turkey . She has a pink head instead of blue . She Couldn’t walk very well when young and still her legs kinda go everywhere . But she makes out ok . Lol
She was raised mostly in the house . Xo

Anyone who's lived with companion cats or dogs knows that they are unique individuals with their own personalities. I think animals' secret to getting along is that they are not burdened by an ego.

“BEING A STAR MEANS THAT YOU JUST FIND YOUR OWN SPECIAL PLACE, AND THAT YOU SHINE WHERE YOU ARE. TO ME, THAT’S WHAT BEING A STAR MEANS.”
- Dolly Parton

For me my special place will always be in the barn and with animals ❤️❤️

These resilient animals developed a bond with humans that goes beyond simple utility. Donkeys are known for their gentle temperament and patience, becoming more than just workers but also friends. In modern times, their tranquil nature and appearance have found a new purpose in animal-assisted interventions2. What a great therapy option!

Jst a wee note
Rocking Horse Ranch is not taking anymore large horses .
I get calls almost daily . I understand hay and feed has risen and times are tough .
I feel so bad for the animals involved with all these rising prices and truly wish I could help . I wish I had the team I once did but the facts are I don’t . It breaks my heart as I feel many horses will be put on the meat truck as many owners jst can’t afford them anymore. They can barely afford to feed themselves these days.
I am pretty much a solo act here with one friend living here helping and another who comes once a week.
I simply can’t do it all anymore but I think 25 years was a good go .I am getting older ,now at 62 . I hope with all my heart that other rescues will form and be able to help these meat bound horses . The world is so unstable right now but we need people to step up and help the forgotten horses and animals .
The work is hard, although I am fit as fiddle still ..lol . I have slowed down some but this work is my job that God has laid out for me ..but as I have stated , it is also very very costly .
I am jst so grateful I still have a few monthly sponsors . To those who donate please know how grateful I am . ❤️
I am however still accepting smaller ones like cats, dogs, goats ,mini horses
The wee ranch is pretty full now but the love that surrounds this place is precious all the same even though no big horses here anymore. 😞
Good Bless Everyone ..Stay safe and peaceful with a heart full of love ❤️❤️

Hello everyone. This is Dale ,the stressed out ole lady who owns this ranch. 😵‍💫
I am sure by now u have all read the messages about the scams ,bot whatever it is . This was put up by friend an admin of this page .
About four days ago my personal page Dale Paulette Stone was hacked and I was not successful in getting this thing off my page so it remains as according to Facebook …it is a legit account which it is not right now but what can I do. All necessary steps were taking . I tried very hard but as quick as I changed passwords they changed back. Now I suspect the email associated with Dale Paulette stone s page has been changed. I can’t do another thing . I hope and pray no one gets scammed . It is killing me to see my name associated with-this.
I have contacted the police and the Canadian Fraud Centre
I have open files with each incase. Cover all basis .
I created a new Facebook account and my friend / admin has made me an admin so I am able to see and write this post .
I do however think this page is free of the bot ,scammer as a friend and admin removed Dale Paulette Stone as admin which got rid of the impersonator too . There has been No activity on here and the post about the scammer still remain . It would have been removed by bot or whatever it is if still be active on this ranch page. . I am so very sorry this has happened . I have no words other than how very sorry I am . The truth of this now is if I try and sell tickets on the lampshade again or anything else people will believe it is a scam and not support. All very sad that they have ruined my life’s work building up a reputation.
However I will still be posting stories about the animals for your enjoyment as i know many of you love seeing these.. I would hate to stop sharing my animal world with y’all . For now I will keep doing so
I would also like to thank the family that was here yesterday that brought a bagful of meat for the cats and dogs . It was so lovely to see you guys again .
They enjoyed visiting with the animals .
I would like to add that if anyone has any freezer burnt meat, blankets or such things needed here at the ranch that u contact me by my personal landline phone and we can set up a time in real person to person chat. Which u know is the best way but it seems we all want to do things online . We hardly speak to each other anymore which is kinda sad .
My phone number for the ranch and to contact me by phone is
902-295-2743 . I will give those who donate a personal tour of the barn and animals. So please please jst call me directly. I can assure you that donations are so greatly needed and important .
Please call the number to make arrangements for anything regarding donations of things or monetary please.
My reg email for e-transfer is safe . I was talking with my bank on this matter as well . All safe
This email that had been going twenty five years [email protected] is secure .
Again I apologize for all of this but it was all beyond my control and jst pray no one gets hooked .
What this gives us now as lesson is we must be very very carful about this online world …It is a very evil and dangerous place .
On the other hand it is a tool that can be used for positive things as well
Love and good will prevail ❤️

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5

Take good care everyone and please be careful in this online world we now live in .
Thank you to you all . I am so grateful for all my many followers and helpers who continue to stand by my side.
With love and gratitude
Please share
—Dale
Owner ,operator of Rocking Horse Ranch ❤️

A note to the scammers who are trying to steal this page. You are trying to steal the fundraising page for an animal rescue that has been in existence for 25 years. You must be the most despicable of humans! Too lazy and greedy to build your own page. Too cruel to care that you are trying to ruin the life's work of a woman who has given 25 years to the sometimes thankless job of rescuing abused and abandoned animals. You are still trying to control her personal page by "selling" non-existant items that you will then use their deposit to somehow empty their bank accounts, hurting even more honest, kind people. You are the scum of the earth. You may not believe in karma but mark my words, one of these days you will pay for this heartless, disgusting, criminal behaviour. You are likely so loathsome & heartless that you think this is funny. Keep laughing because God'll get you for this, one way or another.

I am sorry everyone but I have to cancel the ticket draw for the lamp shade.
My email isn’t working, and my phone is not working. They are working on the roads so thinking this must be why. No warning was given.
For anyone who sent money for tickets please message this page and I will send it back to you.
Thanks all. So sorry. Hopefully I can get it going at a later date.
