I know this may seem a bit cheesy to follow along with some of these social media trends, but this one is for me. As we close out the 2025 year, it has been filled with so many memories, good and bad. This one I decided to share not necessarily for the rescues, not for the likes or followers, but as a reminder to myself, that fear does not mean it’s not worth trying. If I sat back and let fear take hold of everything I thought might have meaning, then none of this would be here today. Naming it without judgment, meaning acknowledgment out loud takes away some of fears “power”. We acknowledge it, we thank it, and then we move forward consciously because that is what life is all about. Making sure the risks have meaning. That’s what makes it worth it in the end.

As we move into the new year, I am choosing to do my best to move forward with everything fear has taught me especially throughout this last season of life, which I know has been excessively painful for many.
We move forward with our heads held high, ready to enter this new year with softness, not pressure. Progress, over perfection. And a reminder that life is not demanding of me, but inviting me to continue. I just have to choose to continue the best way for me, as I hope you all do too❤️

Happy New Year❤️

Dolly will still forever be one of my favorite before and afters🥹❤️ This horse was just about as close to deaths door as you can get, but she had the fight and the strength to keep going. To keep showing up as the incredible mom she is and show to the world that these horses are worth fighting for every step of the way.

Dolly was rescued back in early July, and has since made a full recovery. She has been adopted into the most wonderful family a horse could ever ask horse and vise versa. I just wish more than anything, every horse could know what it’s like to feel the kind of love Dolly now gets to enjoy every day❤️

WE DID IT🙏❤️😭

Gosh you guys I don’t even know what to say aside from THANK YOU, truly truly with every ounce of my heart thank you for helping us make sure we can get these girls out of the slaughter pipeline, get them home, with full bellies, get her the medical attention she needs to fix that horribly painful eye, and give them back their life.

That’s exactly what we’re going to do and it’s all because of each and every one of you who came together to make it happen by sharing and donating!

The girls are waiting to be picked up but are currently separated from the other horses in the pens with their own feed and water, together. And now, they get to stay together❤️ we can’t wait to welcome them home!

Her shadow says it all💔

I received this picture of the girls last night, they were able to be separated from the others in the pen to ensure they were getting enough food until they get picked up, which was very kind of the gal who is helping give these horses a second chance.

Just seeing the poor mares eye which I can only imagine is so painful, and then every protruding angle on her sweet friend. It breaks my heart someone let them get to this condition and then sold them to make a profit. It’s sickening really.

We are so so close to reaching our fundraiser goal for these two!! We had some *amazing* donors come through last night and as of now (4:36pm) WE HAVE COMPLETED THE FUNDRAISER GOAL!

Please remember, every little bit adds up. $1, $5, $10, $100 all makes a difference because we are coming together as a *community* to do what should have been done for these girls a long time ago!!

If you would like to help us, help them, they need it now more than ever❤️‍🩹

‼️EMERGENCY RESCUE: WE NEED ONE MORE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE‼️

At the end of a wonderful day spending time with friends and family yesterday for Christmas I was tagged in a post that instantly made my stomach drop. These two mares were picked up by traders at auction and taken to a kill pen and I can only let the picture speak for themselves. They came in together and are a very bonded pair. Immediately I knew we needed to help. The first thing that came to mind when I saw these two was the bonded pair, Chance & Shadow, we tried to help save back in November at an auction in Texas, but unfortunately those two were too far gone by the time we got to them to safety. Today, I am asking for help for one more Christmas miracle to help us, help these two before it’s too late for them, and help them stay together. Last night as we were getting into bed, I said yes to give them a home for Christmas because I knew our community would be right there to back us up.

As both of these girls are extreme medical cases, I would like to set their fundraising goal as $5000 each, to help with bail, transport, initial vet care, and the surgical procedure the black-and-white mare will need, as well as the months of rehab the brown and white paint will need. If you can help, even just a little as I know Christmas can be a tough time for many, please no, we appreciate it immensely. And so do they.

FUNDRAISER COMPLETE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Merry Christmas from Millie Moo and the Kataluna crew!

We attempted to try the wrapping paper Christmas gift trend and I couldn’t help but share the sequence of how this went because it was just too funny😆❤️💚 Millie decided she wanted to channel her inner reindeer in attempts of take off to make sure the “gift” arrived on time this Christmas Eve😂

Courtesy of the amazing 4Strides Photography for making sure this Christmas cowstastrophe will forever be remembered in the holiday traditions😉❤️

Merry Christmas everyone! We all are wishing you, your family, and all your loved ones (two legged and four) a wonderful holiday season!

Remember Angus?

Angus was rescued from one of the largest auctions in the country back in August. When he came through the ring and everyone saw him walking, bidder numbers stayed down, all you heard was silence or snarky remarks that poked fun at his movements in between the calls of the auctioneer. Angus had saddle scars so he had been someone’s riding horse at some point. We learned later that someone had actually spent quite a bit of time with Angus for what he knows in the saddle. Most likely a ranch work horse of some sort. We brought him home for penny’s on the dollar and gave him what someone should have given him in the first place, a chance.
He was diagnosed with an extreme case of Stringhalt, a neuromuscular condition in horses that causes an involuntary, exaggerated upward movement in the hind limbs when the horse is moving. Thanks to our incredible veterinarian Dr Dana with and the surgical staff at , Angus was able to have a procedure done which we hoped would at least slightly correct the stringhalt to help him move better as he would literally kick himself in the belly when he walked, and to all of our surprise, it *completely* cured him to the point where he moves like a normal horse, and you would never know where he was even just a few months ago. We are so proud of Angus’s journey and recovery, and it’s thanks to all of YOU we were able to make this happen for him❤️

I think we all need a little festive cheer, so here is the cutest cow in the entire world rocking the cutest outfit in the North Pole😍❤️ Millie Moo has been such a little light through what has been one of the most intense years of my life. I will always be a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, I’ve wanted a mini cow for many many years, and Millie said she knew this was her time to shine✨

Our Story- Living through Liberty

This page was created to share the amazing opportunities that allow humans be the student and horses to be the teacher, and for us to learn from their point of view.

I grew up working with rescue horses using the “typical” type of horsemanship training, until when I was twelve years old one horse in particular came into my life and turned all that around. These methods that I always considered to be the only way of working with horses, were being shut down left and right. This horse was scared, frightened of humans and not ready to trust. Others had tried their methods on her, some helped, some did not, but I was at a loss. Honestly, I was scared. I had made all the choices I thought I knew how, until I soon came upon this idea of letting the horse choose, and letting the horse be completely FREE rather than forcing her to engage. I will admit, I was hesitant. I was scared if I took off the ropes, she would run, that if I gave her the choice, she would choose no. But that is the reality we had to face. Five years later, by using this method of FREEDOM, we developed a trust, a team, and most importantly a friendship. My ways of working with horses changed forever.

Since then, I have come across so many amazing horses through fostering, adoption from feed lots, etc. I am currently working in Washington to grow and exploit this “training” technique to share with the world of equine. We appreciate everyone who comes through to our page and hope to inspire you and your four legged friend to try something new in honor of them!
