Things are heating up for our “Last Tack Sale!” I’m working as hard as I can on as much as I can, but alas! I am still a mortal. There’s so much to do and so little time to accomplish everything. Not to mention that one of our two helpers broke her wrist. These things are never part of the plan.

If you happen to be in the mood to help clean tack, give me a call! Otherwise I’ll see you at the sale on October 18 and 19th, 10 to 4 at Last Chance Corral in Athens, Ohio. I guarantee a fun time and ridiculously good deals! Don’t forget to bring photos of your equine pals. - Victoria

P.S. Cash or checks only, please!!

It’s all happening! The "Last Tack Sale" at Last Chance Corral!

October 18-19, 2025 - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

We’re practically working around the clock to get this tack sale off the ground in time! Sooooo many winter blankets to wash … and saddle pads and bridles, oh my!

If variety be the spice of life, be prepared for some tasty treats. The only thing we’re shy on this year is saddles (hint, hint). But I swear, “if we don’t have it, you don’t need it.”

Of course, there will be ice-cold cider, snacks, snappy conversation and more.

One new activity will put your skills as a “TACKATARIAN” to the test. It’s the “build a bridle table.” I have three giant totes of bridle “pieces” … let’s see how quickly you can assemble one. At a buck a try, it should separate the horseperson from the not-so-horseperson. You’re sure to have fun and go home with some sort of bridle as well as some laughs.

Bring some pictures of your horses to share and go home with quality gifts for yourself, your horse, and your horsey friends. I swear you could get all that holiday shopping done in one stop!

I’ve heard tell that it’ll be the social event of the season. I hope to see you there (don’t forget your wallet).

October 18-19, 2025 - 10 am - 4 pm
(The next weekend will be leftovers.)

Save the dates! We hope to see you on Oct. 18 and 19, 11am to 4pm, Athens, Ohio!

The Last Tack Sale!!

We start with a situation like this ... a pile of dusty and dirty tack ,,, and create ACTUAL useful tack to offer to you for pennies on the dollar prices!

Why, you might ask, go to all this trouble?

Two reasons:

1) Waste not; want not!

2) To raise the financial resources necessary for all the equines who find their way to Last Chance Corral. You can be a valuable partner in this work by attending the sale and sharing the moment with us.

And remember: Don’t let our suggested prices limit your generosity!

We hope to see you on Oct. 18 and 19, 11am to 4pm, Athens, Ohio!

The Last Tack Sale! Save the dates, contribute, volunteer, or join the fun!

The Last Chance Corral is readying for our Last Big Tack Sale on Oct. 18 and 19, 11 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

“This’ll be it for me,” Victoria said.

This sale takes a great deal of time and effort … too much effort for her arthritic hands, and the fact that the workload for this event has significantly increased with the passing of her sister, Rebecca. Still, we hope the sale goes out with a bang!

If you have qualifying items (not in need of extreme cleaning or repair) that you feel will contribute to the sale’s success, or, if you would like to volunteer to help with the sale or readying items, please let us know.

Call Victoria at 740-594-4336.

🌲 Of course, there will be deals galore, snacks, cider and more. Come for the bargains, stay for the sparkling conversations with your horsey pals. Get your horse, your horse friends, or yourself some holiday gifts. 🐴🎁

We hope you make it! A good time will be had by all!!

The proceeds will go toward the first ton of milk for the start of foal season in January. 🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴

Beautiful Sonny needs a new home.

He is a 15-hand Golden Palomino quarter horse gelding. This older, gentle man has been there and done that. For the most part, he is sound. Truthfully, he is only suitable for light, occasional riding. A lovely walk through the woods would be more to his liking than a cross-country canter.

Give the grandkids a pony ride? Sure, you bethca! He’s a wonderful companion and provides a terrific training aid with younger horses.

We have done his feet, teeth, wormed, inoculations, etc. He loads, crossties, and is great for the farrier and veterinarian.

His biggest issue is his mouth. A lack of routine dental maintenance has left him with a wavy mess of teeth. Currently, he does well on grass, grain and hay. But in time, he will need pelleted hay. That stuff’s not cheap, but it’s not prohibitive when you think of it as a small price to pay for Sonny’s handsome companionship.

Call Victoria for details if you can offer Sonny an appropriate home.

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message.

Myself, my family and the Last Chance Corral family have suffered a monumental loss. My beloved sister Rebecca Chamberlain suddenly passed on July 12, 2025. This unexpected blow has shaken my world to its core.

Rebecca was my best friend. She ran the Last Chance Corral office for over 12 years, maintaining every facet of its success, including our online presence, newsletter, fundraising, thank-you letters, and reviewing potential adopters. If you have worked with us, you have worked directly with Rebecca.

If you appreciated and enjoyed the pictures and stories on our social media, you have Rebecca to thank. Of course, I did most of the writing … then she would “French it up,” as we like to say (clean it up!). She was also my buffer from those who need to express their never-ending dislike (I’m being kind here…) for the work we do at Last Chance Corral. Thank goodness for Rebecca, because that stuff tears me apart.

My sister made the world a better place, and the impact of her loss will be felt at Last Chance Corral forever. For me, the days feel flat and gray with grief unabashedly sitting on my chest. I know time will heal this loss, it’s just very difficult to see that when you’re in the throes of grief’s vortex.

How can she be replaced? With no one in line to fill her shoes, the future looks questionable – and different. Please be kind and bear with us as we adjust. We will continue to respond to you, our supporters, as we continue to provide love and care to our current residents at Last Chance Corral.

In honor of my sister Rebecca, please be kind and patient with us as we regroup.

Victoria Goss, Last Chance Corral

Our Story - Nurse Mare Foals

We rescue and find qualified forever homes for between 150 and 200 nurse mare foals each year. Foals season runs between Jan and July. Many of these babies a very young some just hours old, some are even induced labor premature. They have a difficult start at life but we do everything we can to ensure that each and every one gets a fair chance at life.
