We said goodbye to the wonderful Rocky today...

Rocky was rescued by DreamCatchers in July 2008 from a crazy person who claimed that the geomagnetic forces of the earth were causing her horses to be emaciated.

In reality, I believe she had a mental disorder that led her to starve her horses only to "save" them at the last minute by feeding them.

She got caught when a neighbor witnessed her inject a drug cocktail into a horse that had succumbed to the abuse and went down and couldn't get up.

Rocky was adopted by and lived with a wonderful family until, sadly, last summer a sudden and unexpected death of their matriarch caused them to make tough decisions and Rocky and his buddies Ransom, Radar and Shasta were returned to the rescue after 14 years.

I can only surmise that the abuse of being starved repeatedly before he was rescued caused Rocky's metabolism to be impacted and as he advanced into old age it caused his immune system to turn inward and attack his flesh and internal organs.

Rocky has galloped across that beautiful rainbow into the loving arms of his lady and I know they are going to have many adventures riding thru the clouds.

Rocky will be very missed by me and all who had the privelege of knowing him.

God speed old man, say hello to Paula for me.❤️💔❤️💔❤️💔

Look who is all grown up and thriving with her awesome family! Khaleesi was rescued with her mama 6 years ago.

Her human mama says she's now fully trained, beautiful and smart and definitely her heart horse.

Just love receiving updates on our adopted horses.❤️❤️❤️

Poor Bubba. Not only was he conformationally challenged, but after his recheck by our awesome vet on Friday it was determined that, while his venomous wound was beginning to heal, the damage to the tendons and ligaments was devastating. Basically all of the supporting structure of his leg was deteriorated. There is just no way to fix this.

Sadly, we were forced to make the decision to end his pain not only in his affected leg but his other leg had begun to show the signs of the strain of supporting his whole body.

I am grateful we were able to give Bubba 2 years of love.

Bubbs you will be missed.❤️💔❤️

We said goodbye to an awesome mare who came to Dreamcatchers in 2011 when her owner could not care for her any longer.

Cinder had contracted leptospirosis in one of her eyes and was slowly going blind in that eye.

She had several injections to slow the progression and was still very sighted in her good eye.

She found a home with an awesome couple who loved and cared for her until 2017 when they moved to Texas and felt the move would be too hard on Cinder, who by then was completely blind in her lepto eye and had started to develop cataracts in her other eye.

Cinder lived happily, first with Dove, our awesome mule, and most recently with friends Scooby and Skye, who are also blind.

Cinder was plagued by chronic infections for several years and was on antibiotics a good part of the time.

It finally became too much for her poor old body and quality of life had diminished.

We will miss this old lady. Saying goodbye after years of worrying and loving is especially hard...say hi to my love Dove. You 2 try to stay out of trouble.

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...

Any help will be much appreciated.

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❤️💔❤️
