Napping and eating at the same time he is something else!

We appreciate our friends at Vaiden Farm Supply for helping the horses! Be sure to stop by and check out our angel tree and all the great gifts they have for your favorite cowgirl or cowboy!

Tis the giving time of year. Muleshoe Ranch & Rescue has set up a "adopt-a-horse" tree. Come by today, select a horse, buy a gift, and make it a special day for some lucky pony.

We have an angel tree at Vaiden Farm Supply! You can pick your horse from the tree and buy their favorite feed or treat and VFS will get it to us. Thanks so much to Jim Hargrove, owner, for letting us set it up, Maureen Johnson for making the angel cards and Cori and Kaylee for setting it up! The horses will be forever grateful. They are having their Christmas Open House tomorrow so be sure to stop by, do some Christmas shopping and get a Loki ornament while you’re at it! Happy Holidays!

Scout was such a sweet and brave boy yesterday! He’s still overcoming his fear of humans and we were so proud of how curious he was of our visitors. We are still hoping someone will want to take him for the Trainer’s Challenge. He needs his feet trimmed but first needs to get used to having his feet handled to make it less traumatic for him and easier for the farrier.

They are thankful for people like you. Their save wasn’t as exciting as if we’d gone to auction or saved from a killpen. But this year has been bad for so many horse owners. They know their horses are at risk of ending up in a bad place. They want us to take them so they can get the care and training they’ve been unable to provide. Their hearts break at the thought of sending them to auction. We are glad we can help.

Dakota, the flashy bay gelding was running loose and the owner could no longer contain him. The vet said his teeth looked like a 30 year old although he believes he’s around 15 or 16. He needed to gain about 100 pounds, not too bad. He’s almost at a weight now where he can be evaluated. Peco’s owner died leaving an elderly widow behind to care for his two stallions. They had to be kept stalled and she was no longer able to lift the bales of hay or feed. The reality is that they could easily hurt her. They had lost weight and with hooves so overgrown, Peco could barely walk. So we took them and provided the care they needed. We don’t just help horses, but those who love them. To all of you who donate, volunteer and share our posts, we are forever grateful! Happy Thanksgiving from Dakota and Peco and all of us at Mississippi Horse Rescue! ❤️

Jess was one of our auction saves from the Knoxville auction. She was run through the ring with a herd of other Rocky Mountain horses. She was weighed and bid on by the pound. A lot of people don’t realize how many horses get shipped for slaughter. She would have been one of them, but we just couldn’t let this pretty girl’s precious life end like that. She is now in training here at Muleshoe getting ready to find her forever trail partner. Come and meet her Saturday at our open house! We will have a couple of horses at the barn for our guests to meet and groom. We hope to see you there!❤️

Good morning from the herd here at muleshoe! Scout and Misty are still looking for someone to take them on for the trainers challenge. Gulliver, Lula, and Fabio need a companion only home of their very own. Let us know if you want to foster, adopt or enter the trainers challenge! It’s not too late, and who can say no to these beautiful faces that got their second chance at this life thing?❤️

VAIDEN - WE'D LOVE A VOLUNTEER OR TWO!

Our friends at Vaiden Farm Supply have invited us to join them for their Christmas Open House on December 3rd & 4th. We are going to be setting up an angel tree for the horses and would love if some of our volunteers can be there to help especially on Friday to set up the tree. Loki ornaments will be available with a hoofographed letter from the one and only. We'd have pictures with Loki if we thought he would behave, but we want to be invited back. 😂 Saturday we will have a couple of horses available to meet with training demos weather permitting. We know it's a busy time for everyone but we'd love the company!

Sweet Ginger is one of our companion only horses. She is close to her 30’s and has heaves. She is thoroughly enjoying retirement here at Muleshoe. Caring for elderly horses like Ginger gets expensive, but these horses deserve to retire and enjoy life just like we do. We couldn’t do all of this without y’all, so thank you for helping give these horses a chance. If you want to help out, you can donate through Facebook, Venmo, or PayPal. ❤️

Our fourth entry in the professional division of the Train a Rescue challenge is Redwood and Sabrina Miller! It’s not too late to enter the challenge! We have a novice and youth division as well, so shoot us a message! Good luck, guys!❤️

Some of the main herd coming up for breakfast this morning! With the temps dropping, and the cold rain coming in, we have to start graining a lot more than we usually do in the summer. We couldn’t do it without you all, so if you have anything to spare please donate to the care of these horses! We need lick tubs, hay, and grain. We have 30+ to care for here at Muleshoe Ranch. ❤️

Gus and Jenny need a family of their own. ❤️ Gus is sweet and halter broke. Jenny is more wild, but she follows Gus around everywhere, so they are easy to move pastures if needed! They are very bonded and have to stay together. Fill out an application, and come meet them!

Pops’ favorite time of day is breakfast time. As you can tell, he’s smiling about it. 🥰 He is our long term resident and oldest! He is in his 40’s and still acts like a spring chicken.

Good morning from the boys at Muleshoe! They are ready for their breakfast. ❤️

I know someone needs a Good Ol’ trail mule! Molly is available for adoption and will be at the adoption event at 12 oaks. 🥰

10/07/2021

Update: These girls are safe❤️!
They will be coming to Mississippi next weekend to start their journey towards adoption! Thank you to everyone that helped them!

Sugarbelle”and “Cinnabelle”need our help! We need donations to save them! They are owned by a Kill Buyer in TN and we want to help them. The mother is only 10 years old and has been ridden in the past. The daughter is just 5 and has never been trained.

Mississippi Horses Rescue with our help, can get these girls ready for a bright future and not the future they currently have. The Kill Buyer posted them for a week with no home offers and they are currently past their deadline. He agreed to give us a few extra days to raise the money to help them. We will need extra to cover their transport, quarantine and vetting. Later training fees will be needed for “Sugarbell”! Our initial goal is $2,150 and we have raised $440 so far of that.

Please help‼️‼️
We don’t have much time!
You can donate to the rescue’s PayPal account direct at: [email protected]
Or here’s the rescue’s donation page to donate!

Everyone is always waiting on breakfast. ☺️

We had a very busy day at muleshoe yesterday. Redwood, midnight, petey, and some others got their teeth floated. Star man, Sunshine, Scout, and more I can’t remember had their coggins pulled and vaccinations. Scout even lost his manhood.🙌 A busy day with Dr. Ethridge means an expensive day. Our adoption fees no where near cover the expenses of each and every one of these horses. We rely on y’all to help these horses. We can’t do it alone. Even if you only have $5 to spare, it goes a long way when others match it. On a side note, please don’t complain about our adoption fees. By the time our horses are ready for adoption, we have already spent three times that on vetting, rehabbing, and training. Most of these guys will be available for the 90 day challenge. We are so excited to see them get ready to find their forever homes!❤️

Woohoo! Foxy is under saddle and getting ready to find her new riding partner. As you can see, she is very happy about it! A forever home sure beats the place where she was headed. Foxy is one of our kill pen saves from the Knoxville auction. Keep up with her progress by typing in her hashtag.

This pretty girl is available for adoption. She is a super smooth ride! We will update with more pictures, videos, and info this week! All horses posted on our Muleshoe page are located in Coila, Ms. ❤️

Angel and the rest of the crew are waiting on breakfast this morning. They are very impatient. They insist on getting fed as soon as there is a sign of light. They are all starving if you can’t tell. 🤫🤣

Do y’all remember Maybelle, the scraggly looking (at the time) donkey that we saved at auction? She got adopted last month, and is currently living the best life a donkey could have with a family of her own! We got these pictures from her new mom today. She likes going on trail rides and has made many new friends!❤️
