Grateful to our Park Equine vet, Dr. Andrews. She’s a donkey person, and they all really like her. Benny, Jet, Lucky, Glimmer all got fresh Coggins, Nacho and Queso got their vaccines. Faith needs to be seen again next week. It’s disconcerting that she thought the strange marks on her back were possibly whip mark scars. Once Faith shed out, her back looks so awful. We are trying different things to see why she won’t gain weight. The other concerning case is the new jenny, Rosa. She has a week to show some sign of improvement as she appears horribly foundered. 🙏🏻 we can save her.
Please, if it is in your heart, we really could use some help with our vet bills. Our hay alone this week is costing us $1800.
Donations can be made directly to Park Equine Hospital care of Bluegrass B***o Rescue. Thank you so much!

I’m really going to miss Glimmer. She goes to her new home on Saturday. From abused, neglected in February, to such a sweet girl. I decided to make her trailer loading a much more pleasant experience than when we had to run her in to rescue her. I asked her to trust me, and rewarded her with some grain. We stood in there about 20 minutes, all calm. Of course I talked to her the whole time, so ignore that 😂. I’m really going to miss her.

This beautiful girl just arrived from TN, thanks to a wonderful lady that saved her. She needs groceries and hoof care. I was told she doesn’t know how to lead, so we’ll be helping her with that as well. I know we said we were not taking any more in, but I could not turn her away. We have had 5 adopted this week, so we had an empty quarantine area for her. She’s a “pink” donkey, and has a sweet face. Praying she will be okay with good nutrition and vetting.
Thank you to Tammy ML and Janet Binette for getting her to safety here with us.

These two cuties are out of quarantine and will start their training. They are adorable!
Momma “Nacho” is 3 years old and her baby “Queso” is 6 months. Both are very small mini donkeys.

08/12/2024

We have three adorable gelding donkeys looking for their forever homes!

Fester is a 2-3 year old gelding that is ALMOST a mini! He is just a hair taller than a mini can be, so he is a very small standard. He is an absolute doll and can lead, load, tie, bathe, groom, blanket/fly mask, fantastic for farrier, and more. He is not suitable for a home with goats or sheep. He does well with horses, mules, and other donkeys.

Benny and Jet are 5 and 7 years old and are a bonded pair of large standard geldings. They lead, tie, load, bathe, groom, trim, and fly mask. I

All three are UTD on coggins, vaccines, dewormer, and farrier. They are all super sweet boys that follow you around the paddock.

Please PM if interested!

Happy Adoption Day to both Mandy and Portia! They both went to wonderful families and will be loved! 💙💙

08/11/2024

We 💙 our donkeys!

08/11/2024

It was a beautiful, sunny (and not so hot!) day here at the rescue! We are so happy that Draco has been adopted and will be going to his new home. Portia also found the perfect family and is leaving for her new home tomorrow! Hooray!! So proud of everyone today. Benny and Jet and Fester all got lots of attention and (of course) snuggles and kisses from me. They haven’t found their perfect home yet. I can’t say that I’m terribly upset, as these boys just own my heart a little more each day. Someone better sn**ch them up soon before they steal my heart completely!!

I have to share this! That gorgeous Dun? That’s Magic! My foster, Cassidy, has done such a wonderful job rehabilitating her from that horrible Liberty, KY abuse case. She now rides Magic, and has made such a huge impact with her. Magic has her buddy, Starter, to enjoy life with. I could not be happier!

08/09/2024

Dewormer day! Everyone was dewormed, plus Glimmer, Mandy, Pepsi, and Lucky Charm all had a bath! 🥰

08/06/2024

Since we are being slandered and accused of animal abuse, I figured I’d share today’s abuse. Both Ragdoll kittens went to the vet, got their third set of vaccines, and Choco got meds for his eye. Too bad this “abuse” costs me so dang much. 😂

08/06/2024

THIS IS THE ABUSER THAT KILLED HORSES, NOT US! Get your facts straight, people! Accusing Ashlyn of killing horses? WTH! needs to monitor her page, NEEDS TO STOP THIS SLANDER AS WELL!

Happy adoption day to Olive and Myrtle!

With all of the sadness we’ve felt over the past couple days, it was wonderful to get a little reminder of the good parts of rescue. We delivered the girls to their adopters today and it was so incredibly obvious how much her donkeys love her- I told her that it makes me feel good about the care they receive when they don’t want to leave you! Olive and Myrtle seem to love it and they have a wonderful farm to live at for the rest of their days with two other senior donkeys.

Let me just shoutout those of you that open your heart to the seniors! I have a soft spot for them and they can sometimes be more difficult to adopt out, so just know that we are so grateful for you! 💙

Pedicure day for Olive, Myrtle, Benny, Jet, and Portia! Thank you to KT Equine and Wilbers farrier service LLC!

07/29/2024

Some pics from around the farm the past couple days! Almost all of these sweet faces are looking for their forever homes!

07/26/2024

I love these boys. They were moved up to the arena today, and decided to “help” me muck- lol. I couldn’t get a photo as it got too dark, but I was the middle to a Benny and Jet cookie. 😂 They both wanted love, so I had one on each side of me. Donkeys are just the best! 💙💙

07/25/2024

So true. Every donkey, horse and mule we rehabilitate takes a piece of our heart with them when they’re adopted. 💙

Very cool story about “Jimmy, the donkey”!

Jimmy the Donkey was born in the trenches at the Somme, when a Germany shell fatally wounded his pregnant mother. British soldiers were forced to deliver Jimmy in the mud of the battlefield.
The baby donkey was raised by the troops of the Cameronian Scottish Rifles who fed him condensed milk and rations. They even taught the animal to salute by raising one hoof.
Jimmy would spend the years with the regiment, hauling supplies and keeping his human comrades’ spirits up.
He was wounded seven times before the end of the war, but went on to become a mascot of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the 20s and 30s.
He died in 1943 and was buried in Peterborough’s Central Park. A monument was erected to commemorate him.

I received two tshirts in the mail from someone in FL. They were addressed to me, and Bluegrass B***o Rescue. Please note! We are a 501c3 charity. Per IRS rules, we CANNOT endorse any political figure or agenda. Do I have my own political views? Absolutely. But we DO NOT ENDORSE any political party, agenda, or nominee here at the rescue. Consider us to be like Switzerland- lol. So no sending us anything political or post anything political on our page. We’d like to keep our good standing with the IRS. Thank you!

Sweet donkeys 💙I had to quickly set up another quarantine area for Mandy, as she was being mean to the donkeys. It’s sad, as she acts like she’s been hit in the head in her past. 😡 So Pepsi got moved in with Glimmer temporarily. Glimmer was happy- she gladly is sharing her hay with her new “roommate”.

07/20/2024

Draco and Portia would make such a cute driving team. They’re so adorable!

07/20/2024

Welcome to our three new residents! Mandy is an adorable 3 year old miniature mare. Momma miniature donkey is safe here with her 6 month old baby girl. I’m told the momma is bred again, and she’s only 3. All three were bailed by a wonderful group of people, fundraising led by Tammy ML, and transport from Virginia paid by a very generous donor, Karen. The momma already came up to me for pets 💙, and Mandy and baby donkey are curious. All three have eaten and rehydrated from the long ride, and are now settled in for the night. Name reveal coming up when their auction tags are off. THEY ARE SAFE! Mom and baby didn’t get separated! Praise God! Thank you all so much for saving them!

07/19/2024

These cuties are on their way from Virginia! Mandy is a miniature mare, and there’s a momma mini donkey (pregnant) and her baby. We can’t wait to meet them!

07/19/2024

Trying to unload, and Noelle decided she wanted to come in the garage. Her big pregnant belly barely fits. 😂 She’s a little TOO friendly at times. 🤣

07/19/2024

Benny and Jet tonight. They have the obstacle paddock to themselves. Benny is still not shed out completely. I have tube socks on the way for their legs. Darn flies love donkey legs. 🙄

07/18/2024

💙 Olive and Myrtle 💙

These sweet senior jennets are looking for a home as a pair! Olive is a 20-year-old standard jenny and Myrtle is a 20-year-old standard sized BLM b***o jenny. Don’t let their ages scare you! Both are still full of plenty of get-up-and-go, and donkeys can live into their 40’s with proper care! Both of them lead, tie, have been trimmed, wear a fly mask, etc. and are UTD on everything. Olive is a hair bigger than Myrtle. Both girls would not do well on lush pasture, as they are both easy keepers.

PM if you have the perfect home for these girls!

💙 Draco and Portia 💙

Calling all mule fans! We have two adorable mini mules/hinnies available for adoption.

These cuties have not had the kindest of lives and are shy when it comes to people because of it. They are both difficult to catch, but once caught, they lead, tie, and groom beautifully.

Draco is ~7 and Portia is ~4-5. Draco is a little taller than Portia.

Ideally, we would like to get them adopted as a pair. However, they are not a bonded pair yet and could potentially be adopted individually to the right home.

Please PM if you would like to give one or both of these sweeties their happily ever after!

These sweet donkeys are trying to get to our rescue on Friday. We need to raise money to get them to safety. The momma has a baby on her side, AND is pregnant again. They deserve better! The sooner we can get them out of there, the better chance we have of them not getting sick! Tammy Lacy with Paradise Farm Rescud and Sanctuary is fundraising for them. Please - any amount is appreciated! 🙏🏻

💜 I just found out about this adorable pair, going on trio, who landed at Rollin Hill kill pen in Louisa, VA today, & they need out asap before they get sick! They haven't been posted yet, so need to hurry before they are & at risk to be sold separately!! 🙏

🙌 They have a wonderful opportunity to catch a ride with the pony mare, Mandy, at the same lot who will be bailed & going to our friends' rescue, Bluegrass B***o Rescue in KY, on Friday.🚛

We have quarantine & transport covered but need their bail (2k🥕) by Thursday night so they can hop on the freedom train in time. If they miss their ride, I'll refund donors, but hoping we can pull this miracle off!!🤞

It warms my heart to see Benny and Jet acting so friendly. ❤️❤️❤️

Welcome to our new mini mule here at Bluegrass B***o Rescue! Thank you to Tammy ML, Karen Holloway, and the other wonderful donors that raised funds to get him here from Virginia.

Glimmer is the best!

Glimmer came running up to me to say hi! She’s so friendly, even the loud zero turn mower didn’t scare her away. She’s available and you’ll fall in love with her too!
