SNOWY SCENES FROM QUARANTINE ❄️ ⛄️

What better way to celebrate 900,000 followers here on Facebook (a HUGE milestone) than to share some of the horses our wonderful patrons have helped us rescue?

I love looking through these pictures and seeing contented faces enjoying the seasons first snow. Our horses spend several months in QT enjoying the 3 F’s: food, freedom and friends.

We think it’s why so many come out calm, content and ready to find future families. This downtime is a way of recalibrating from their previously stressful lives and transition into newer happier ones.

What Joe and Beth and Marlin do for these horses is hero’s work, and they deserve to be recognized for the amazing work they do day in and day out. They don’t always get thousands of comments cheering them on…

But maybe today we can change that?

Let’s HEAR it for the heroes of Colby’s Crew Rescue quarantine!!

I’m so proud to be a part of this organization and as a donor or a supporter, you should be too. 🥰

*note these are not ALL of our horses, but a quick walk around snapping pictures showing some from the latest saves. They do not do anything but eat and heal from contagious pathogens. I know people will have a problem with the halters and so far every negative Nancy whose complained they needed to be breakaway has donated 0 halters. We will gladly swap them for breakaway if people choose to donate them! Any horse who needs a blanket is given one (always) but a lot of these guys are fuzzy wildebeests covered by their natural hair. This is healthy and better for them!

ALL THE STAFF AT COLBY’S CREW HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD THIS YEAR…

So Santa found a smol little friend who needed a home very very badly. This little one was sent to auction at just one month old and became very very sick without Mama there to protect them

Little baby animals like this NEED Colby’s Crew and Ally to help them rest and recuperate.

It’s a Holiday tale we can’t wait to tell you…

That’s if you’re interested in hearing it of course.

DID COLBYS CREW SWAP OUT BISON?!?!

Is the REAL Bison DEAD??? Have we gotten away with this since June 2023?!?

No.

No you silly little gooses.

I’m going to prove to you that it’s the same Bison. Since he’s dark bay with no white it’s VERY hard for a non horse person to understand winter and summer coat, especially in a six month old underweight proportional dwarf mini… that is now 2.5 years old and also had a six month time jump and a clip job from the two videos in question.

So I’m going to show you how you can tell 🙂

Look at the nose marking first. The angle of the black part of his nostril should match every single picture. I’ve included and dated pictures of Bison throughout his two years with us. In every single picture, the nose marking stays consistent. See how it looks like the cutest heart? That doesn’t change in any of his pictures.

Now let’s look at the black on his legs- do they end at the same place in every single picture on every single leg? If yes, it’s the same horse.

Spoiler alert: they do, it’s the same horse.

Finally yall met Bison at SIX months old. He’s 2.5 years old now. He’s going to change in body and height and leg length— just like toddlers don’t stay looking the same until they’re 25 friends. There’s puberty and all— even for horses.

We left bison a stallion until he was 18 months old (and castrated him when he started to know he was one— poor Fireball) because of his tiny size. It wasn’t safe to geld him until he was as big as possible, so he’s developed a little jaw and manliness.

Personally I think he’s uber handsome now and maturing beautifully.

We gotta put the tin foil hats down now and back away slowly. As the biggest horse rescue in North America, we’d rather just tell the truth that something happened then swap out one of our most popular ambassadors for a fake— people have traveled from Russia and Europe JUST to meet Baby Bison. Trust me they’d know in minute one an imposter. We’d never ever get away with it.

BUT we would never want to! My wife lived in a barn and a shed for two weeks for one of the coldest winters on record with Bison to save his life, and I think she’d sell ME before she gave him up… for personal reasons as much as professional, the only place Bison would go is WITH Ally. If something was wrong with him, we’d want our entire community to give prayers to his health, not cover it up and hide it!

Can we all just put down the conspiracy theories and just enjoy cute videos? Not everything has an ulterior motive or negative connotation. Sometimes it’s just a cute mini horse growing up 🙂

Bison is available to meet on our tours and attended a horse expo in March, if you’ve met Bison share your pictures below! Want to compare video Bison and in person Bison to prove it to yourself? Email [email protected] — Bison will be glad to meet you!

BABY COW UPDATE: nothing really new to report. We’re waiting on his response to medication. He is drinking and eating now and we are actively working to solve a few problems identified by his vet. I was watching my wife interact with him and my heart surged in these little moments they’re sharing together. Ally is the closest thing to a real life Disney princess to me that I think there will ever be. And maybe that’s a boring video to share, but I could watch this over and over. Follow Colby’s Crew Rescue for a name reveal and how we solved him being alone at such a young age…

BABY COW UPDATE: HE TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE… Thank god for Dr. Carly Mayer who was willing to come out immediately and render life saving care to him. We had a cow specialist vet out originally when he first came and she thought he was okay and left us some medications and a bottle but it quickly became apparent that he was worse than she or we originally thought. Dr. Mayer came immediately (a true hero, let her know in the comment section) and conferenced in some great cattle vet minds before we sent him to hospitalization. Now he needs to fight. Please send prayers and good vibes to our little man as he fights for his life. Follow Colby’s Crew Rescue for part two!

WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF AMISH OWNER SURRENDERS OF HORSES THIS MONTH.. but I have to admit my jaw dropped when someone called and offered us a sick baby highland cross calf. We usually don’t deviate from horses being a horse rescue… but an animal in need is an animal in need. We do have two pet cows (mini dexters) but this would be our first baby orphan cow. We immediately called our cow expert friends and our veterinarians for assistance. Let us know if you’d like us to continue the orphan baby calf series in the comments or go back to posting just strictly horses. Make sure you’re following Colby’s Crew Rescue so you don’t miss part two: the vetting!

OUT OF OFFICE: the plague Ally and I are both sick as dogs so if this reads funky that’s why. So I wasn’t able to attend the live feed vettings because some small child came out for a meet and greet and gave our entire farm and staff the literal plague. Thinking of signing our future adoption ads like… Dear Future Adopters, Please do not bring your sick spawn to the farm. If snorting, coughing or hacking — follow CCR quarantine protocols. Sincerely, Everyone I have melted into my couch with a circus train of elephants traipsing around my brain and the worst malaise ever. I don’t think I could muster up the energy to climb up if you cattle prodded me. Ally didn’t leave a building today so I know she is also very sick. Typically she rides a horse every day, or spends the entire day outside and she just couldn’t do either today and that never ever happens. So I did cancel the vettings this week and please know that also NEVER happens but here we are. I did however get lots of pictures from the vettings that went on without us and when I know who and what my name is (you think I’m joking but I just spent 25 minutes trying to open a cabinet) and what planet we’re on… I’m totally going to post some pictures. Until then, enjoy Dr. Noel (video proof the vetting still goes on, camera or not!) watching another “Cadillac” as he likes to call them jog up the strip looking great! I hope to get adoption posts up tomorrow as well. Apologies for the delay. It’s nap time now, but I’ll be sure to get right on it! Taking suggestions on Netflix bingeable suggestions and plague cures. Thank you for your patience and kindness.

“I’M JUST TRYING TO LEAVE THE WORLD A LITTLE BIT OF A BETTER PLACE THAN BEFORE I WAS HERE,” that’s what my wife said when she was asked last night why she does what she does. Rescuing horses all across the country that are desperately in need for someone to care and show kindness and compassion. James would have died on that disgusting floor of manure and urine had it not been for Ally and her wonderful team of donors and supporters and vets and staff. Together, they are ALL making the world a better place. One horse at a time. FOLLOW Colby’s Crew Rescue for more stories of Ally, horse rescue and kindness 🥰
