This really sucks, it’s only 8pm and we’ve lost two roofs already! One off our cows shelter and the other off Chester’s paddocks shelter. This is only the beginning of the storm, the eye won’t be over us until tomorrow morning.
All we can do right now is shelter and wait out the night and pray the horses stay ok.
We will be making a post Friday regarding cleanup after the storm, it’s going to be such a mess I just know.

And the storm isn’t even close yet!!!
WE. HAVE. WATER!!!!!!!!
At 8pm this evening we were able to get the water hooked up and begin filling our water back up around the farm!
I can’t thank Hull Well and Pump Service Inc. enough! They have been incredible to us and worked their magic to get this going this weekend!
This new well has the ability to keep up with our farm now and will be able to get a better water supply around the ranch! It used to be at feeding times you couldn’t use water in too many places at once or you would barely get a trickle. Now we will be able to get much more done!
This well is about 300ft deep and 5’ in diameter, that is why it is such an expensive system. I will update you guys on the final bill when I speak with the office in the morning. The well did have to go a little deeper than quoted to get the water we needed so it may end up being a little more.
We are about half way to covering this bill of $21,500 so please consider donating to help us pay for this completely unexpected emergency!!

Oh silly Lily this is why we can’t have nice things 😂🤦🏻♀️🐴 and of course Bubbas involved too lol
The fire department have been able to come out and get all our tanks and waters (troughs) filled! Lilly was just so happy she decided to jump in our giant emergency pool that holds about 700 gallons 😂
Don’t worry Yes we will be moving this OUT of the paddock in the morning before the next fill up so this dosent happen again lol.
Even though it’s been all bad news lately I love seeing the horses happy and enjoying themselves. You sometimes have to stop and appreciate these things. Although we’re going through all this stress atleast all the horses are safe and happy ❤️🐴
Thank you everyone for continuing to donate I’ve been trying to get back to everyone but the community’s response has been overwhelming and for that I am so grateful for our town! Y’all are amazing!!

WESH 2 News chose our wonderful co-founder Alison Wheatley “Ms.Allie” and my mum as their community champion this week!
We are so thankful to be able to share our home and rescue with our community as a safe space for horses and humans ❤️ this year has been especially hard on my health and Ms Allie has really had to step up and take over doing most of my work, ontop of her busy real estate work that pays to keep the rescue going as we can’t rely on donations and programs alone. She works harder and better than anyone I’ve ever known and I’m so proud to have such an incredible role model that has always taught me to always keep fighting even when the world can be against you. ❤️ She is so deserving of this Community Champions story!
Thank you Meredith McDonough - WESH 2 News and team for your work on this we truly appreciate it!

Sweet Jenny the donkey has the cutest toothless smile ❤️
She lost all but three teeth due to periodontal disease and they were surgically removed to make her mouth more comfortable. She required special care but doesn’t let it stop her from living a full life 😍
Our sweet new rescue got her first meal today!
We’re starting her out on 3-4 small meals a day of soaked purina senior due to her teeth being in such bad shape, also with her being so thin we don’t want to over feed her too fast. She is also on soft orchard hay that’s much easier for her to eat.
She’s so sweet and kind I can’t wait to see her get better and become less scared of people
She’s safe now 💖🐴
