How It All Began....
Back in 2013, Rosco (my horse) was diagnosed with cancerous sarcoids on his groin area. I had been boarding him for the past 7 years, but with treatment and aftercare, my boarding facility could not be expected to give him the personal care that he needed.
I got permission from my mother to build a pen and shelter for Rosco on her acreage, and bring him there to care for him. Rosco needed another horse for company. My search lead me to Vinny (pictured above - in February 2018 at 30 years old). At that time, she was being fostered for the Nebraska Humane Society and needed a home. She was a severe neglect case and just skin and bones, when I agreed to take her. I didn’t realize it then, but she would be the start of Rosco’s Rescue Ranch.
Since Rosco and I trail rode often, I didn’t want Vinny to be left alone when we were gone. I found out about an older couple who had a donkey farm and could no longer take care of their donkeys. I rescued Fancy Pants to be company for Vinny. Fancy and Vinny became BFF’s.
It was after rescuing both Vinny and Fancy, that I realized what a need there was for equine rescuing. I decided to become a non-profit equine rescue in 2014, and Rosco’s Rescue Ranch was born! Over the past 4 1/2 years we have grown little by little, as more horses and donkeys needed help. We have built every shelter (except for the calving huts), put up all the fencing, gates, and transformed what used to be a Christmas tree farm, into the rescue and sanctuary that is here today.
