Great way to finish off the week. Our gate boy Aiden needed a lift through the pasture to help open up our back gate for us, so he hitched a ride on Joey’s bum. 😂

PSA: Horses are always allowed to ride off property. Horses will leave p**p as they walk. It is not the same as dog p**p. It consists mainly of grass, is biodegradable and great fertilizer! 🥰

I wanted to put out a quick message, cause we have heard that there were complaints about horse p**p from our ride. We even had a woman harass us while we were having our lunch and even after being told, she kept on complaining about it and harassing the people who wanted to chat with us, without listening.

When Hope Ranch riders go out, we always go back and scoop the p**p. We went all through our route and ensured that any p**p in town was picked up after we returned. I personally go back and ensure that we aren’t leaving anything behind. I drove, and someone else scooped.

We don’t have to do this. It’s not required, and we, as others who bring their horses off property, do not have to return and scoop. We do it to be sure that we are being good community members. We are not the only ones who take their horses off property, but as a local business we want to be sure that we are adding to the community not causing issues for the town to deal with.

We had a nice large group of avid riders who enjoyed their ride, contributed to a local business by purchasing lunch and drinks and ice cream, and then we came back and scooped up after our horses. We would like to continue to do these rides, support other local businesses and keep bringing these incredible animals and what we do for them, into the light. We had a lot of people ask questions, pet the horses, take photos and genuinely enjoy them. Thank you to everyone who stopped and chatted, asked questions and shared our story. Education is always better than just complaining without all the facts 😉

Currently available at Hope Ranch Retreat Inc.
COMPANION HORSES ONLY

Bo: senior gelding requires grain daily. Looking for long term retirement home for him as a companion. Bo came to us to find him his forever address to live out his days with friends. He is a sweetheart and loves roaming our pasture, we would need to find him a non riding home only. He is arthritic but is now gaining weight and more comfy.

Johnny and Walker: brothers looking for long term home. Through no fault of their own, they are available again. These boys are sweet and enjoy grooming. They need an experienced person if you wish to handle daily, otherwise they would make a great pair of pasture puffs keeping your other horses company.

Looking for good non riding homes ONLY. No carrots to exchange. Transportation can be arranged.

Hey of Hope Ranch:
We work with New Start Standardbreds to help out some of these rescues when we can. We have had a few come through our ranch and I’m sure you have known and loved them while you’ve visited. They are a wonderful organization and we are proud to help support them!
If you have the ability to donate I encourage you to do so. Many of these horses are in need of your help and without it they can’t get into loving homes, the care they require or the bail they need from the auctions.

Please consider donating if you are able, if not, a share costs nothing and may help them get the funding they need from a generous soul looking to help.

Thanks yall! You really are a wonderful ranch family

🚨 **Urgent Appeal from New Start** 🚨

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We find ourselves in a critical situation and urgently need your help. New Start Standardbreds operates solely on the generosity of our incredible supporters through donations and fundraisers.

Unfortunately, our current fundraisers have seen little to no interest, and we are facing several pressing financial obligations that have compiled on top of each other because our fundraising efforts have hit a standstill.

We had planned adoptions that have fallen through or have now been put on hold, and it’s created a backlog in our intake system. Our main foster facilitates are overflowing and we have only been able to help a select few additional fosters due to small homes offering single spots for horses in need.

Our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome these beautiful Standardbreds is at risk unless we can meet the following immediate needs:

- **Danny’s Way Shipping (Due Next Week)**: $2,000

- **EverydayaHolliday Quarantine and Shipping Home (Due July 5)**: $2,150 (He must quarantine for a minimum of 60 days due to health issues and is halfway through this period.)

- **Real Rocker Additional Quarantine Due to Illness (Due June 30)**: $850

- **Itaintezbeincheesy Additional Vet Work (Now Past Due)**: $300

These expenses are crucial and unfortunately a chunk of them were unplanned expenses, even when our ultimate goal is to ensure the health and well-being of our horses. Without immediate support, we risk the ability to continue our life-saving work.

Please consider making a donation today. No amount is too small, and every dollar helps. Together, we can ensure that these noble animals get the care and love they deserve.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Every single dollar counts. Please consider participating in the fundraisers we have happening!!!

With gratitude,
The Team at New Start Standardbreds

NEW SAND IN THE ARENA! We are so thankful for our wonderful Neighbour Jacob Corneil💕 you are a godsend to us and a great friend.

Well we have an issue that I didn’t think we would have to deal with but we’re currently building tiny squirrel ladders to get them out of the water trough. We had 5 drowned squirrels in a matter of a week! Today I caught one in time!
Poor bu**er!
I dried him by the fire and when he quit shaking I put him in our big willow tree out front and am now building a little ladder to sit in the trough.
Adds more work for us too cause every time one drowns, we dump and sanitize the trough so 5x this week we have had to do this.

Little guy is gonna make it I hope.

Yesterday was a super day!
We went to Bilby Ranch for Turn n Burn where Nik took second in youth beginner poles and Aiden took third in youth beginner dash.
I took LOVE who is a very green horse and ran her in Dash and poles where she did very well!
Then we unwound and played with the ropes for a while. It was a great way to spend a Saturday!

Thanks to Bilby Ranch for hosting! We will be returning!

Happy long weekend all!!
