Our rambunctious boy Wyatt had a training session with Jared Renzi thanks to his sponsor Tracey Rostron. Jared worked to teach Wyatt healthy boundaries around personal space, which is important for safety. Wyattβs a quick learner and the session went so well! ππ

Wishing our friend and volunteer Malea a very happy birthday!! π₯³π She wanted to spend her special day at The Lily Pond! Friends and family gathered for a day of fun, food and celebration. The animals were thrilled with all the attention and affection! ππΎ
Greetings from Trooper, Max and Moon! All three of these handsome seniors were saved from the slaughter pipeline now living their best lives at The Lily Pond. ππ
Good morning from Moon! βοΈπ΄π A former lesson horse at a local college, he was injured and sent to auction where a kill buyer purchased him. Thankfully, a local woman witnessed it and bought him from the kill buyer. She rehabilitated him and now he has a forever home here at The Lily Pond! π
Our beautiful #ottb mare Waverly and her bestie Dutch Treat coming over to wish you a happy Wednesday! Dutch is a Thoroughbred-Quarter horse cross and competed in events. Permanent Wave is a registered Thoroughbred who raced the tracks in 2012. πππ
We hosted a tour of the sanctuary yesterday. Thank you to all who came out to meet the animals and support our work! π±πΆπ΄
Our thoroughbred mare Who Plays Brahms is home from the hospital! π Sheβs feeling so much better after being treated for a stomach full of bot flies that were causing her to colic. We have Brahms in a temporary medical paddock in order to monitor her closely. Her pasture mate Martys Expectations was so happy to see her friend again! π΄π
We hospitalized our new arrival βWho Plays Brahmsβ, a Thoroughbred ex-racehorse that we just saved from the kill pen. She colicked upon arrival - our vet has been out twice but was unable to stabilize her. She is at Rhinebeck Equine Clinic on oxygen and IV fluids. Please keep her in your prayers as we fight to save her life again. πWe would be so grateful for any donations towards her hospital bill. Our PayPal is [email protected] or visit our website (link in bio). Thank you.π΄π
Our two rescued Thoroughbred ex-racehorses, Who Plays Brahms and Martys Expectation, have arrived! But our excitement turned to shock when we saw how thin they are. We knew they were in poor condition when we pulled them from the kill pen, but we were not prepared to see such severe malnutrition - the worst neglect case weβve ever witnessed. Their rehabilitation is going to take time. We are committed to doing our best for them. Such sweet mares. They never deserved the abuse theyβve clearly survived. Please keep them in your prayers as we work to bring them back to health. ππ΄ππ΄
Today is the day!! Our two Thoroughbred ex-racehorses, Who Plays Brahms and Martys Expectation, are en route home to The Lily Pond! Saved from the Stroud Oklahoma Kill Pen, they have completed quarantine and are in the capable hands of our hauler, Steve Egner, who is transporting them 1,600 miles from Cleo Springs OK to our sanctuary in Ghent, NY. They will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. We are asking for prayers and good wishes for their safety throughout their freedom ride home. ππππ #freedomride
