Let's celebrate the strength and beauty of our magnificent Belgian mares, Thelma and Louise! These gentle giants have captured our hearts with their kind, patient, and protective nature. Although their past may be unclear, their bond is unbreakable, and their ability to work together is inspiring. We're committed to helping them regain their health and vigor, and we're thrilled to see them thrive with the best care and plenty of groceries. Come join us in our journey to give these mares the bright future they deserve!

**Meet Lucy**

Lucy was rescued from an auction in Texas. When she arrived at our ranch last fall, she was heavily pregnant, underweight, and suffering from a severe infection. Her front teeth were broken, and the drainage from her nose indicated a nasty infection. We weren't sure if she would survive the winter, or even live to see the first snowfall.

But Lucy has an incredible heart and grit. Despite her struggles, she never faltered. As long as she was fighting, we were determined to fight alongside her. There were many close calls, and she endured round after round of antibiotics. Over Christmas, an infection-induced early labor nearly cost her baby’s life. Yet, through all the pain, Lucy remained gentle and never showed aggression toward humans.

In the early hours of April 13th, Lucy gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. We were amazed at her strength in delivering such a big baby without assistance. This was the moment we had been waiting for. With her baby born, we could finally begin more aggressive treatments to save Lucy’s life.

Now, Lucy is on a twice-daily regimen of heavy supplements and grain, along with all the green grass and hay she can eat. Post-birth, she was able to stand for the farrier to receive a proper hoof trim. Our vet is optimistic, and once Lucy gains enough weight, we can proceed with dental surgery. An equine chiropractor will also help improve her hips and back.

Lucy is a smart and patient mother, caring well for her baby without spooking or worrying. She exhibits the same calm and gentle demeanor with humans. We believe that once she regains her full strength, she will make an excellent horse for children. Horses like Lucy, with her backstory and resilience, know how to love deeply.

We have an account set up for Lucy. Any donations towards her surgery and healing care will be greatly appreciated.

We are excited to announce a significant step forward in our mission here at the ranch. We have decided to become an official 501(c)(3) nonprofit large animal rescue. There are so many animals in need of our help, displaced for various reasons, and we are committed to making a difference.

For years, we have opened our hearts and doors to animals in need, driven by a calling that comes from deep within our hearts and souls. We believe that when God grants you the ability to help, it comes with a responsibility to use that gift.

And so, our journey begins. We look forward to making an even greater impact with your support.
