As the temperatures dip into the 20s, we are keeping our horses warm and cozy in their blankets. Our minis Annie and Sophie are feeling a bit frisky!

Keeping our horses warm and dry during the winter months is a real challenge.
My wife and I were given a personal tour of On Golden Rescue by Larry and Gayle, who started the sanctuary, and met all of the horses (minis and standards), goats, and donkeys that reside on this beautiful property.
My wife has a disability which limits her mobility, so we were a little concerned about walking the full tour. We mentioned this to Larry and Gayle before our scheduled visit, so they were fully prepared. OGR has a side-by-side cart, and Larry was more than happy to drive her around and help make her experience more enjoyable. She has been wanting to spend time around animals (especially horses) for many years but could not find a sanctuary that could accommodate her special needs. Thankfully, OGR could. So don’t let disability discourage you from taking a tour.
We not only got to meet each rescued animal and learn about their (sometimes heartbreaking) stories, but we also learned a great deal about sustainable energy, rainwater catchment and all of the environmentally friendly processes OGR uses.
OGR is a little piece of heaven that is working hard to ensure the residents who are accepted live out their golden years in a safe space with the love and care they deserve.
We’ll definitely be out to visit again!
Thank you to all of the staff and volunteers who work at OGR, a truly amazing non-profit sanctuary that really lives up to their motto of “No More Bad Days.” Keep up the great work.
Oh, one last thing to keep in mind – you must contact OGR to schedule a tour before coming to On Golden Rescue. Click the link below to learn more.

Dental Care Day at OGR
Dr. Kim Post, our veterinarian and a board member at OGR, recently spent the day providing dental care for our equines. She was assisted by vet tech Kindi Weis.
A dental float should be performed by a veterinarian at least once a year once horses reach geriatric age. This is the best way to identify dental abnormalities prior to the development of secondary complications. Only a veterinarian should be used for dental care, as only a veterinarian is trained to (and legally allowed to) appropriately sedate your horse and properly diagnose and treat disease.
A dental float can cost between $75 and $250 per horse. Your donations help us provide this critical care for our rescued animals. Please click this link to donate:

Many of our rescued equines are older, so their dental care is critical to their overall health. Geriatric horses are prone to dental disease that can result in teeth falling out or being extracted.
The more missing or expired teeth a horse has, the more difficult it will be for the horse to sustain their body weight on hay alone. To help them maintain their healthy body weight, Dr. Kim creates a personalized diet for each animal.
