Marvin was back at the Vet today for a follow up assessment. He is not eating well and probably not drinking as much as he should.
His blood work is better/worse in some areas.
We are going to treat him for ulcers and see if we can get him feeling better.
We worry about his fluid intake in this hot weather.
Please continue to pray for his healing and recovery, and if you would like to donate to help with all his medical expenses that would be greatly appreciated.

We are very happy to announce that Sophie and Carmela found their forever home. Thank you John for adopting them, and keeping these two bonded horses together.
We know they will receive the love and attention they deserve, along with some spoiling.

Update: we are bringing Marvin home. He is better, but still needs close supervision and monitoring. Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray for his complete healing.

Please say a prayer for Marvin. He is at the Vet. He is very sick and will be getting fluids and rest. All prayers will be appreciated.

We said goodbye to Honey this morning. She went down in her stall and just did not have the fight to get back up, even with a lot of help. She was 30+ years old. Just a beautiful horse. And had such an attitude. We always knew she would let us know when it was time. Even so, it was not a quick or easy decision.
Thank you Dr Jennifer Broers from Piney Woods Animal Clinic for helping her to cross the Rainbow Bridge. I am sure her first priority was to hunt down Granny!!

Today we were contacted by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Office to pick up 3 horses. Upon arrival to the property we found a deceased horse. The three horses were caught and loaded and brought back to the facility. They are in the quarantine area and will see a Vet tomorrow.
If you would like to help in their recovery and rehab, all donations would be greatly appreciated.
We hope to have more information about them after the Vet assessment.

Marvin gave us a scare this morning. We could tell he was not feeling good. He was loaded up and taken to the Vet.
After a thorough evaluation it was determined he has ulcers.
We will be giving him medication and watching his intake closely.
Please say a prayer for him. He has been through a lot.

We have been quiet the last couple of months, making it through the cold winter days. And with the warm weather we have been busy repairing fence lines and getting pens ready for spring/summer.
Today our plans changed as we were called out by the Harrison County Sheriff's Office to pick up a Horse.
The Horse is an approximately 18 yo Gelding. He looks sad and has many wounds on his body. He has had a full evaluation from the Vet and is now secure and safe at the facility quarantine area.
He will continue to require frequent daily wound care.
If you would like to help with his care, all donations would be appreciated.

Christmas Blessing
We had the honor of taking one of our Sanctuary Horses to meet a very special man. This gentleman has had a lifelong passion for horses. Age has brought on some limitations and he is no longer able to have and work with horses. We were asked to bring a horse to him so he could enjoy some time with one of these beautiful animals.
We know he was thrilled and we were blessed to be a part of this moment.
Thank you Jimmy Wolf for asking us to come out and bring a joyful smile to your grandfather.

Marvin gave us a scare yesterday as he started choking. We are trying to be very careful with his feeding, but when you are a starving horse, you don’t waste any time and practically inhale your food.
Thank you Dr Jennifer Broers, owner of Piney Woods Animal Clinic for always being there for us and our horses.
If you would like to donate towards his care, all donations would be greatly appreciated.

On Thanksgiving Eve, we are very grateful to be able to give this wonderful horse a place to eat, eat, and eat. He was taken straight to the Veterinarian Clinic for assessment, and will remain under the watchful eyes of the Vet for awhile.
He was a stray that we picked up at the request of the Camp County Sheriffs Office. If you recognize this horse, or know the owner, please contact the Camp County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
We will be calling him Marvin.
He is approximately 20 years old. His body score rating is a 1 (the lowest). He will be placed on a special diet, and once he is healthier, we will have his teeth checked.
If you would like to help with his medical and feeding, donations would be greatly appreciated.
