Our sanctuary horses are definitely feeling their oats today, especially Selena! Huge THANKS to Gary and Gail McDaniel for giving our girls such a beautiful place spend their retirement years. We’re so thankful for everything they do for us and our rescue horses! And a big thanks to Karen Williams for taking such great care of them every day, warm or cold, snow or shine.💕

Yesterday was vet day for Olaf, Kristoff, and Loki. Loki underwent his gelding surgery, while Olaf and Kristoff had exams and Olaf had his teeth floated.

Olaf and Kristoff arrived in very poor condition, both were extremely underweight and arthritic. Since they arrived, they have gained weight, and Olaf’s mobility has improved significantly with the help of Equioxx.

Unfortunately, Kristoff’s arthritis has not responded to the meds. After thoroughly examining him, Dr. Quay confirmed our concern that we wouldn’t be able to manage his pain well enough to give him a good quality of life.💔

Over the next few days, we’ll spoil Kristoff with lots of love, good food, and all his favorite treats while keeping him comfortable with medication to manage his pain. This will give Olaf the chance to make new friends so it won’t be as difficult for him when we compassionately allow Kristoff to pass.

A special thank you to our kind and caring vet, Dr. Quay of Iron Horse Equine, and her team. Their empathy and expertise mean so much to us and our horses at all stages of their lives.

Nilla has found the perfect foster home! Amy reached out to us looking for a companion for her gelding, Crown. When she met Nilla, the connection was undeniable. It was a perfect fit.

Nilla is settling in beautifully and making friends. Thank you to Amy Dean and her husband for opening their home and their hearts to this sweet girl. We’re so happy that she’s receiving all the care and love she deserves!💕

A heartfelt thank you to the Colorado Unwanted Horse Alliance for their generous grant supporting training, gelding, and farrier care. This makes it possible for us to provide our rescue horses with what they need to find their very own forever homes. We’re so grateful for everything this organization does to help horses in need across the state of Colorado!

CUHA funding comes from the Colorado Tax Checkoff. Next time you file your taxes, consider a convenient, tax deductible donation on your Colorado tax return to support this important organization.

Special thanks to A Moment in Time Photography for this beautiful picture of Aubrey. She will be headed to training in spring thanks to this CUHA grant.💕

🎄We have the most wonderful news to brighten your Christmas! Loki has found his forever home!!!🎄

Recently, Shawna Williams’ husband, Shane reached out and asked us to help him pull off a very special Christmas surprise. During her last visit, Shawna fell hopelessly in love with Loki, and the feeling was mutual. So when we decided it was time to list him for adoption, we contacted her to see if she might be interested.

Of course, Shawna was all in, but she wasn’t sure how her husband would feel about adding another horse to their family. She was disappointed when he was less than thrilled. What she didn’t know was that he had just figured out the perfect gift to make her Christmas extra special! Shane also wanted Shawna to find out when she reads this post.😬

🎄🎁Surprise, Shawna Williams! And Merry Christmas!!! Loki is about to be headed home to you!!! Can you believe it???🎁🎄

Shawna is not only a great friend, she has also been a huge part of our rescue over the years. She’s helped with everything — auction saves, trailering, halter training, vet care, organizing events, and so much more. She also previously adopted two of our rescues, Gambler and Beau. Even after moving to Tennessee a few years ago, she still makes time to come back a couple times a year to visit and help out with whatever we need.

We couldn’t be happier for both of them. Thank you, Shawna, for everything you do for us and for giving Loki the incredible home he deserves. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

** We don’t typically advocate for animals as Christmas gifts, but in this case we couldn’t be happier! **

It’s been a busy week, but we wanted to share that we’ve officially named our most recent Christmas rescues. Olaf is the grey gelding, Kristoff is the bay gelding, and Elsa is the Morgan mare. The grey gelding saved by Believe Ranch and Rescue has been named Sven. As you might have guessed, we're big fans of the movie Frozen!

We were able to contact the previous owner of the geldings to get more information. They came from a cattle ranch in Wyoming, where they were used for guests to ride. Kristoff is about 24 years old and was previously a lesson horse for small kids before he ended up at the ranch. Olaf, who’s closer to 26, was used for more experienced riders mostly because he has a big personality and likes to do things his own way! He even knows some tricks, like bowing and lying down on command. Sven, the swaybacked gelding, was described as a horse anyone could ride.
Unfortunately, all three started experiencing soundness issues when ridden for extended time.

We asked the ranch owner to please contact us and let us know when they have other horses ready for retirement instead of sending them to auction where they are at a high risk of being purchased by the kill buyer.

Elsa, the Morgan mare, is said to be 16-years-old. She is very gentle, easy to handle and broke to ride. She has some nasal discharge and a cough, so she has been started on antibiotics to help. She and Sven will stay in quarantine with our amazing friend, Lanya, for at least a month to ensure they're healthy. We know they're in great hands and can't wait to bring them home to spoil them with love.

Thank you to Believe Ranch and Rescue, For the Love of Aria and everyone who helped make this possible to give these horses a second chance at a happy life. 💕

This past week, we were able to rescue two very sweet geldings from the livestock auction. We were too late to help a third gelding that had also been dumped at the auction with them. Sadly, he had already been purchased by the kill buyer. That weighed heavy on our hearts, but we were happy and relieved we could at least save the other two.

Then a Christmas miracle happened! Believe Ranch and Rescue contacted us to let us know they were raising the funds to save the third gelding from the kill pen. Like us, they try not to put money in the kill buyer’s pockets, but they just couldn’t bear to see these three friends separated and for one of them to end up most likely headed to slaughter.

Their compassionate and generous supporters donated the money needed and we headed out this morning to pick up the third gelding. He’ll need to spend some time in quarantine, but after that, he’ll be reunited with his friends!

It’s stories like this that remind us of the kindness in the world. Thank you to Believe Ranch and Rescue for making this Christmas miracle happen! Stay tuned for more on this guy!

Our sanctuary horses are definitely feeling their oats today, especially Selena! Huge THANKS to Gary and Gail McDaniel for giving our girls such a beautiful place spend their retirement years. We’re so thankful for everything they do for us and our rescue horses! And a big thanks to Karen Williams for taking such great care of them every day, warm or cold, snow or shine.💕

Loki and Jaci are having a blast together before the snow and cold rolled in! Loki’s gelding surgery didn’t slow him down one bit. He’ll be heading to Tennessee with our friend and adopter, Shawna, at the end of the month.

You may remember our little Loki, who always came running when you called his name—and guess what? He still does! How adorable is that?💕

Happy Friday! May your weekend be as wonderful as Jaci thinks scratches are!💕

After we plowed the littles a path so they could stretch their legs, they developed a serious case of the zoomies. Thanks for the cute video, Ryan!

For those of you who are wondering how the horses are doing in this never-ending snowstorm, here’s an update. Everyone is healthy, well fed, and cozy in their stalls and shelters.

Lots of you have been asking how Jaci is doing since her mom is having a hard time producing enough milk. I think this video will put your minds at ease. She’s running laps around Sara so she’s obviously feeling great! Dr. Quay came out to check on her and she did some bloodwork just to be on the safe side. All of Jaci’s numbers still look great! We’re giving her some ulcer meds, biosponge to help with her diarrhea, and offering her milk pellets and milk powder. Dr. Quay has such a wonderful way of making us feel better when she gives our babies a hands-on exam.

Sweet greetings from our adorable Jaci to brighten your day 💗

Sara is already such a good mom and baby is very strong!

Big thanks to all of you who gave so generously on Amazon Prime Days! So grateful!🩷

Sophie kept licking her buddy Honey. Maybe Honey really is as sweet as her name suggests?🤣
