Keeping along with the baby updates, here's little chocolate Graley with mom Aurora. She will be a fun one to see shed out! We are so blessed to have the lovely pastures here for our horses while they are with us. Before long we will be weaning foals so that Graley can get some more handling and Aurora can re-enter training to make her more adoptable as well.

All 4 of our foals this year are already listed on our website. Graley does have an interested potential adopter when she's ready, if she's a good fit, but none of the other three have folks that want to adopt them just yet.

-You can see all of our adoptable horses on our website here: https://www.kyhumane.org/adopt/adoptable-horses

Lately, we've had so few rideable horses come in and so many homes looking that horses who don't need any rehab time go straight out on trials to approved adopters! We did that with Tank and it resulted in a successful adoption. Next up is Mudslide, a really big ex-polo girl who has had a couple years at pasture through no fault of her own. We knew she needed to go to someone who was knowledgeable enough to fit her up slowly, because this girl is at the very beginning of her fitness journey :D

She's hanging out with Erin who's committed to starting with just trail walking to help her start to slowly burn off the extra curves. Plus that means she's on a private farm with a gelding for company and two minis - all day turnout, the ideal life!

Let's all hope this turns into the next love match and that we have an adoption to announce soon. In the meantime, the 30 we still have are eating at their usual pace and we need some help to pay the bills! If you love what we do, and can lend a helping hand, here are some ways to do it:

"I adopted a Horse today"
By Agatha Kacprzak from Horses Seen Through My Eyes

I adopted a Horse today
The one someone gave up and I found at the shelter
The one who gave someone years of pleasure but now, at his tender age...nobody wanted

I adopted a Horse today
He suffered in the cold, had sores and tired bones
He lost weight and all trust
He didn't want to play, or roll or run... or even eat
He was sad and hurt and it will take time and patience for him to regain his strength and his trust.

I adopted a Horse today
And I swear to keep him safe, to love him unconditionally and to give him strenght and the Will to once again trust...

I adopted a Horse today
I made a difference today

Please visit your local Equine Shelter or even auction to give a horse in need a better chance at life

Tricky Prospect has been a permanent resident at Remember Me since 2016. He was 18 years old when he arrived and has been a farm favorite since then.
During his 8 years here at RMR, Tricky has done a lot of exciting things. But now his full time job is to care for his totally blind buddy, another sanctuary horse named Hero's Crown. Tricky is the perfect partner for HC. He is very kind and allows HC to follow him like a shadow. They are turned out together in a paddock and greet visitors when they arrive here at the farm.
Tricky is 26 years old now, in excellent health, and we hope he sticks around for many more years.
Please consider sponsoring Tricky or one of our other sanctuary horses. Our permanent residents are the largest part of our budget and the least donated towards. Can you send a little love Tricky's way?
