Horse rescue, adoption and sanctuary.

The railroad, in its infinite wisdom, has determined it is a good idea to close our crossing as well as any crossing within 5 miles of us for maintenance. So for the next few days it's best to avoid visits to the rescue.

When bad days become more frequent then good days quality of life is lost.

Sadly we said goodbye to our beloved Soria today.

Soria came to live with us back in 2010 at the age 25.

She was surrendered by a lady, along with 2 of her offspring that weren't of the quality she expected.

All 3 were starved because the feed was reserved for the more desirable horses that had the perfect markings.

Her words were "I'm just going to put her down cause she can't hold her weight".

Once rehabbed, Soria spent a few summers in pasture but had lived for the last 10 years in our old fart barn.

She was an awesome lady and she will be very missed by all of us, especially her horsey friends.

I promised her that she would have no more pain and there were beautiful pastures on the other side of that beautiful rainbow.

Rest peaceful Mama Soria. We will never forget you.

Jasper's first ride since coming to the rescue. He is a little off in his movement so will be on the list for vet exam and possibly chiropractic this next week but overall he did great.

Once cleared by the vet he will begin a refresher and then will be available for adoption to only the best forever home.

He is such a neat guy 💓

It's been quite a journey for our "little" Indy (kna:Stanley).

Arriving June 18th, already skinny, colicking right away from the stress at being at the kill lot and being separated from his mom after being with her for his first 2 years, and then developing pneumonia so bad that every bite of food sent him into coughing fits for weeks.

Finally after 6 weeks of antibiotics, we got him past the pneumonia which by then had caused significant weight loss in spite of having free choice hay and a mash of alfalfa pellets and junior feed multiple times a day.

Well we have finally turned it all around and Stanley is ready for his next "adventure"
Getting his hernia repaired and losing the pesky te**is.

This is scheduled for this coming Thursday.

We rarely ask for donations but we would really appreciate some help with this. The procedures will be in the range of $1500-$2000 but it will allow him to begin his training, after recovery, and hopefully find his forever person.

He is such a sweet boy, we want to give him every advantage.

If you would like to help with Stanley's surgery...

I can literally count on one hand the number of people I've banished from the rescue in almost 20 years and it was always someone who was not caring for their horses.

The reaction has always been projection trying to say it was someone else's fault they weren't caring for their horses and they were being malignied unjustly.

My response is I will always prioritize the horse because humans have choices, horses not so much.

It is and always will be about the horses.

This IS NOT legit. We don't have t shirts. If I can find the actual post I will report it but if you see it please report it as a hack. THIS IS NOT A DCER POST.

Jasper (fka Trinket) is well on his way to leaving the experience of the kill lot behind him.

Now that he has gained some weight and regained his health and happy we will see what his training is and see about finding him his happily ever after.

Jasper came off the kill lot on May 21. He is 14.3 hands, we were told he's 16 (though the vet says more like 20 judging by his teeth) and he is completely sound. He is believed to be an Arab cross and it appears his other half may be saddlebred.

Stay tuned for updates on this awesome guy.❤️

Hey everyone, we need your help. Maus is our awesome vets heart dog and he went missing a week ago today. There is the possibility he was picked up on the road by her house. He is not wearing a collar and is not chipped because he has never been one to wander, sticks close to his mom and siblings. Please, please share this so we can find him and bring him home to his family.

We, the world, and his awesome mom, Robin Mower, said goodbye to our baby Hershey last week.

Hershey was rescued in March of 2017 from another rescue that found themselves overwhelmed and under staffed and funded. I'm not making excuses for them, I just know it was not deliberate like so many other cases I have seen.

Hershey had been bailed off the kill lot about 9 months earlier. He had twisted front legs and horribly neglected hooves.

In 2022 a kind loving lady, Robin, looked past Hershey's disability and he became her first rescue baby. Hershey obviously loved his mama very much and was always on his best behavior with her.

We worked so hard to stabilize him and give him a chance at a long life but sadly his earlier neglect won out and forced Robin to make the ultimate sacrifice and release him from the pain.

Hershey was a joy to know, grew big and strong but in the end, his healthy size was too much for his legs to hold.

Thank you Robin for giving Hershey the best 2 years of his short life. You were the best mom he could have asked for. Many hugs to you and all of your horsey and doggy babies.❤️❤️❤️

It with a heavy heart that we said goodbye to this awesome old lady, Angel, today.

At morning feeding we discovered she had somehow injured herself, most likely in a butt to butt kicking match with one of her herd mates.

Our vet came out and found that she had fractured a bone in the hock of her right hind leg.

At her advanced age, surgery was not an option so we made the hard decision to humanely euthanize her.

Angel came to live at DreamCatchers 6 years ago after being rescued by the Arabian Angels from a feedlot in Kansas. She was a stately old lady, always respectful and elegant.

She will be very missed by all who knew her.

Rest easy old lady. We are glad you came to us and we could give you a happy retirement❤️💔❤️

These 2 beauties have joined our DCER family.

"Dondo and Tiffy" were surrendered by their owners who are elderly and no longer able to ride or care for them.

Dondo is 22 yrs young and oh so handsome.

We are told he needs an experienced rider to help him with his confidence when ridden out alone but does great with a trail buddy who for the last 6 years has been Tiffy.

Tiffy is 20 and what Dondo lacks in confidence, she makes up for.

Tiffy was ridden mainly by the lady of the house who was an endurance rider.

Both are wonderfully sweet and respectful in hand. They require no special diet and thrive on good quality grass hay and a small scoop of senior daily.

As soon as we complete their evaluation they will be available for adoption either as a pair or individually.

I wanted to give a shout out to a blast from my past when I was a commercial insurance agent.

Scott Snow of Horizon Services reached out after 16 years to reconnect and see what I was up to.

I was his and his dad's insurance agent for several years in the early 2000's before retiring in 2007 to dedicate my full time to the horses.

As fate would have it, as I told Scott of our flooding woes over the summer and the massive sinkholes we continue to deal with, he offered to bring us all the clean fill dirt he gained access to thru his construction and landscaping company.

To date he has brought close to 25 dump truck loads at his own expense as a donation.

Scott is a very professional, hard working blue collar construction guy, as he refers to himself but in reality he is just an all around good person I am glad to call friend.

If anyone in the el paso county area needs a quality contractor, look up Horizon Services, Inc.

I highly recommend them❤️❤️❤️

With great sadness we said goodbye to our beloved Woody this morning.

Woody was an awesome old guy that came to live with us about 8 years ago when his family could not care for him any longer. We estimate his age to be in his early 30's.

Woody had a great life being the boss of the old fart barn, but he was a quiet force the others just respected.

Recently he was suffering from Cushings syndrome and had trouble holding his weight along with the long shaggy coat.

He was on medicine for this but I think his old body just gave out.

We will greatly miss this old guy, our "woodyman" 😔💔

Rest easy old man, we will meet again someday❤️

We will be updating our adoption announcements in the next week but let me start with this one...

Happy happy adoption to Zumi and her family, Sarah, Cora, and Andy Bast!

We can't wait to follow their journey❤️❤️❤️

Cuteness overload.❤️

This handsome dude is going to join the gelding club soon. Hopefully tomorrow if we have time after lightnings we'll baby check.

07/15/2023

I think he's pretty proud of himself❣️❣️❣️

Tell tale signs that baby has figured it out this morning. While I didn't witness him nursing, he is nice and hydrated, has a crust of dried milk all over his head and mamas ni***es are shiny.

I would say we have lift off! Now we will see what his well baby check up tells us.

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you to all who donated and prayed for this cutie.
