SPEEDY went to his wonderful new forever home today! And just in time for Christmas! We are so happy for him and his new family.
BTW- We always check out those who are wanting to adopt. Nothing is frivolous about the process.

Today we’re turning our camera lens around to feature the photographer.
It’s Rebecca’s birthday!! Give her some BDAY LOVE on this post! 🎂🎂🎈🎈
Ya’ll see glimpses of her work in a lot of the photography on our page, but that is just the tip of the iceberg that she takes on to keep Last Chance going strong. We are so lucky to have a team member, sister, and friend like Rebecca.
Happiest of Birthdays, Rebecca. You have a heart of gold and do so much for us. The work never goes unnoticed.
May this day be special. This upcoming holiday season may be tough, but we love you and you are so so important to us.

May this post bring you some joy❤️

"Honey" is still looking for her special home for Christmas. There will not be an adoption fee for her but we do hope that you would be able to make a donation to help out the next horse in need. You must be approved prior to adoption. Please send you full name, physical address, photos of your current horse/horses and phone number please to: [email protected]
Our phones are currently malfunctioning so if you have been trying to call and getting no answer that is why. But if you send your phone number we can call you. Also, Speedy is still available (see previous post) and we do have plenty of pony tack left over from our tack sale at crazy low prices.

"HONEY" A pony for Christmas!
I always wanted a Christmas pony but never did get one. My parents' reasoning..." you already have one!" I have, however, had the opportunity to deliver a Christmas pony, twice. Best feeling ever! So opportunity is now knocking for some lucky, deserving kid (or smaller adult). Honey is a bay mixed breed pony about 14 hands. She was an Amish pony. She acts like she's been used hard and put up wet(she's a little suspicious as to your motives when first approached) She is in no hurry under saddle, just what you need for a beginner confidence builder. She has got a lot of bone and we have just put over 250 pounds on her. She now needs to slowly rebuild muscle. She doesn't need a big job, more of a soft landing with lots of love.
There will not be an adoption fee for Honey but we would hope that you would make a donation towards helping the next horse in need. Also I have an assortment of pony tack left over from our tack sale at ridiculously low prices. You must be approved to adopt! Call Victoria 740-818-3764 and please leave a message.

My good friend Jenny Lance (Lances trailer sales) adopted two foals back in 2014. One was mule along with "The Big Red". This is her update on the big red:
As I stared at the tiny mule thinking if I should adopt, Victoria said she wouldn't let him go alone because he was too young. I asked Rachel which other one would you take? She said the big red one over there. Thus, with that nudge I adopted the two. The Big Red as he is still known was like a safety blanket and mother to the little mule even allowing him to suckle his boy bits. Although the tiny mule was a challenge, The Big Red has always been the kindest, gentlest, easy to educate horse. He has given confidence to small children learning to ride although he stands 17 hands. He is currently an Athens City Equine Police Officer under the tutelage of Officer Destry Flick and carries Officer Flick’s wife and children through the Smokies on trail. The Big Red is one special guy.

Thank you ALL for donating to our cause! Making it possible for us to be here for the orphan foals and horses in need. We have all been feeling the pinch of high prices. Our milk and hay costs have doubled along with everything else. So thank you, thank you, thank you for your caring and generosity. We can't do this without you!❤️

Where are all the babies? We have had thousands of orphan nurse mare foals pass through our gates and soon there will be more! Would you like to show off a bit, share some pictures and a little story of your horse that started life as an orphan from Last Chance Corral? Please do! We really enjoy seeing them. You are welcome to post pics in the comments but we would really like it if you could email pics and a short story to: [email protected] We'll pick a couple for our newsletter and post others. Please show your support for our cause by donating if you can. Our funding is way down this year and it won't be long before the foals start to arrive. We all know how the prices of everything have drastically increased. Thank you!

"HONEY" Needs a soft landing. Suffering from starvation she was tossed into the slaughter pen. This after many years of devoted service to her masters. We don't know her story but it is evident that she has had many foals. It is also evident that she was at one time well loved because she is so docile and sweet. She rides and drives but there is no denying that she is an elder pony. Her current condition gives her the appearance of being older than her years. She has gained quite a bit of weight in time that she has been here and is well on her way to good health. We would love to see her settle into her new forever home. She is a GOOD PONY! She has a lot to offer as a companion horse or possibly a little light riding by a child. She needs love and groceries but not a big job. Her adoption fee will be waived for the appropriate home. To qualify for adoption please email all of your contact information including your physical address. Photo of your current horse/horses. Also, ask your vet and farrier to email us with a recommendation. [email protected] call Victoria 740-594-4336 for more information.

Wow check out this fancy saddle! Our sale is this weekend and I am sure that this will be snatched up. We have many "fancy" saddles but this one we actually got provenance and price from the maker. This is what they sent us;
That saddle was called our Tennessean Deluxe. They were made from roughly 2000-2010 and were identical in every way to our Tennessean Supreme except the Supremes had a rear rigging dee while the Deluxes had a rear rigging slot. In 2011 The Deluxes were $950.00 but if we were to make that model today from our shop they would retail for over $3,000.00 so used value on that saddle in reasonably good condition would be $950.00, they have not lost their original value. All the Supremes and Deluxes shared the same width Tennessean Gaited Tree, a tree that we still use today in our Royales, Softees and Tennessean Trail Saddle although we now offer the Tennessean Gaited Tree in two widths. Below are the specs on the tree in your Tennessean Deluxe.

Gullet Width: 7"
Gullet Height: 8"
Bar Angle: 88.5 degrees
Bar Spread Width: 13"

Narrow twist, flared bars, rock

Tree length: 16" seat= 22" 17" seat=23

This Weekend! Oct 18,19, 20. Good news we will most likely extend the hours for another day or two. We have lots of leather stuff,wool stuff, fuzzy stuff, new stuff, blue stuff. Let's face it, there's a lot of stuff! Stuff for all of your equine needs, your kids needs, your bff's needs even aunt Lucy's needs. All at bargain prices. But as Victoria always says "Don't let our suggested prices limit your generosity" (it is for the orphan foals after all). All of these items have been graciously donated by our wonderful patrons like YOU! The funds raised will be put towards the upcoming foal season which will be coming up quickly. There is much to do before then and fund raising being the primary task. As we are all aware, the economic pressure of rising prices, coming on the heels of hard times has been putting a strain on all of us. Rescues tend to feel it first.
But there's good news! You can find some bargains here and help us continue to save orphan foals. Keeping the dream alive. The dream that we will be here as long as there are foals and adult horses in need. "Team work makes the dream work"
So save the date, make your arrangements. Come for the sale, stay for the snacks - yes there will be snacks. However, there will no beer at this Octoberfest but you can dance if you want to. The whole thing is slated for Oct. 18 from 1:00 to 6:00PM then Sat the 19th from 10:00 AM to 6PM Sun. the 20th from 10:00AM until around 2ish.

👀HELP WANTED💪 Last Chance Corral is seeking help. Regretfully, we will be losing our beloved Annie at the end of Sept. as she has found a good job in the field in which has been educated. Sad for us but perhaps it opens the door of opportunity for someone else. We are looking for an equine savvy helper for general horse farm activities (agricultural athlete). This job will require working with and around horses and caring for orphan foals. Must be someone that can interface with the public (visitors, adopters etc.) We need a confident, hardworking, responsible, self motivated, honest one in a million type of person. If you feel like you are that person, call Victoria 740-594-4336 for an interview.

The Last Chance Corral is a 501(c)3 horse rescue. Please call 740-594-4336 if you are interested!
