🌟 Good Morning, Horse Lovers! 🐴

We’re making progress! So far, we’ve raised $355 toward our $1,000 match challenge—which means your donations are already working twice as hard to help the herd! 💚✨

With just $645 to go, we can unlock the full $1,000 match and provide hay, feed, and essential care for the rescue horses. Every dollar counts, and every donation is doubled!

💰 $25 becomes $50
💰 $50 becomes $100
💰 $100 becomes $200

Let’s make this happen together! The match ends Sunday night, so now is the time to give.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Let’s reach our goal and make a difference for these incredible horses! 🐎💛

Love this so much 🥰🥰🥰

Love this so much 🥰🥰🥰

Be deeply, wildly, shamelessly affectionate with your horses. You are allowed. Not only allowed, that's a direct order.

Somehow, it has become cool to be careless. Rugged individualism and masochistic work addiction translate to a scenario where the biggest show of effort from a horse is met with a nonchalant pet from a rider trying to be cool, or a vulgar hard slap-slap-slap from a rider trying to prove, all too loudly, that the horse "pleased" them.

Pet the horse. Open soft land, stroke. Not a slap, unless your horse likes vigorous pressure. I have one of those at home. If he was a human it would be Deep Tissue Massage or Get Outta Here with your skin rubs.

Every horse will like affection catered differently. For some, they want your hands OFF. Touch is too intense, too crass. It is enough for you to stand there and glow about them. Just glow, from inside and out. They glow back. And you squirm with pride. Glow worm.

When someone calls their horse names, I have to wonder who encouraged them to go so far up Sh*t Creek? Don't you realise that the forces that made the Galaxy, mountains, and that grass over there is the same power that made you, and made your horse?

It is a miracle to be alive.

You want to spend the precious little time we have in our life being CYNICAL? Being stoic or even harsh towards animals that safekeep your body during fun and/or necessary activities? When did you forget that you get only one life? And in your last breath, are you going to be grateful that you spent your time with your horse calling them a jerk, bitch, as***le, idiot etc etc etc. How ridiculous. Stop it.

It is deeply, profoundly foolish to not be affectionate to your horses. Got a horse that challenges you, frustrates you, annoys you, or makes your life hard? Sure. We all do. Get it out of your system and then walk your nervous system back home.

Say thank you.
I love you.
I am grateful for you.
I think you are the best.
Thank you.

Repeat.

That is your prescription today! Shed the skin of the toxic stoicism we have all been taught to embody as some form of Legitimate Horse People Are Rarely Affectionate Or Impressed By Their Horse. Unless the horse performs some kind of miracle.

If you do not tell your horse they are fabulous, how will they ever be fabulous?

Ever had a horse do the same for you in return? You gotta give it, to get it.

Try it. It doesn't hurt I promise.

Your friends laughing at you? For being kind to your horse? Can you hear how utterly insane that is? Discover your confidence to embody that care and nurturant love with your horses and shake your head in disbelief at the fools who think that's foolish... or take them out to lunch and ask them when their pain started. Only people in pain withhold love. Nothing sadder.

But you do not have to. You can just decide, right now, and implement it, right now.

A huge thank you to Darragh and Marguerite for covering the feeding and scooping shift yesterday! It truly takes a village to keep the rescue running—especially while Rebecca is still recovering from RSV. We appreciate you!

As we near the end of the month, this week is a big one financially for the rescue. We still need to raise $3,236.79 to cover the rescues expenses, including:

✔ $806.79 for vet meds
✔ $950 for hay
✔ $500 for board for our Chemainus crew
✔ $980 for 14 trims with our farrier, Josh, this weekend

Happy Monday, followers!

We’re so grateful to share that we’ve raised $275 toward our medications bill! That leaves $861.79 still needed to cover this crucial expense for the rescue.

If just 86 of our followers committed to donating $10 per month, this bill would be fully covered! This is exactly why we launched our 10-Year, $10 Sustainability Campaign—because sustainability is key, especially when it comes to funding essential care.

Imagine if 1,500 followers each gave just $10 per month—we would never have to ask for help covering necessities like hay, farrier care, medications, and board.

Will you be one of the 1,500? Your small monthly gift makes a life-changing difference for our rescued horses. Join us today!

🚨 Urgent Medication Fundraiser – We Need Your Help! 🚨

A handful of the rescues horses rely on daily medications to stay healthy and comfortable, and it’s time to restock! We haven’t purchased medications since December 17, and this next order—$1,136.79 for Prascend, Previ equine and Bute—will last two months.

These medications are essential for Neveah, Molly, Reba, Moon, Mikey, Lucky, Chester, Promise, and Cowboy. They help manage pain, mobility, and overall well-being—giving these horses the quality of life they deserve.

Every dollar makes a difference! If just 100 people donate $11, we can cover these costs.

🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Happy Sunday, friends! 🌟

We want to send a huge shoutout to Don, our incredible barefoot trimmer, who works with our special needs herd members, for going above and beyond for the rescue! Not only did he take it upon himself to custom-build us a brand-new barn door, but he also secured donated materials from Mitchell at Nova Forest Products—and then recruited his neighbor Steve to help with the install!

This kind of generosity and teamwork means the world to us and the horses. The only cost to the rescue was the hardware—just $115! Do we have any kind-hearted followers who can help us cover this expense? Every little bit makes a difference!

To contribute, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Thank you, Don, Mitchell, and Steve, for your kindness and support! ❤️

Isn’t the door gorgeous?!
