Bo was such a character! His adoptive mom says he still is

We recently found out that Jim has a tumor on his pituitary gland and is going to have surgery this Thursday. That means posting is probably going to be down and we won’t be taking in anymore animals (we do have two minis coming back today). We won’t be able to take on any new volunteers during this time as I will not have time to show anyone “the ropes”. But experience previous volunteers would be welcome to help during this time

My husband will be hospitalized in the ICU the first 3-5 days after surgery and then stepped down for days after that. We appreciate prayers and patience during this time.

Vet was out today for Esther and we are definitely thinking abscess but they were unable to find it. Pain meds, stall rest, hoof soak and wrap for her. And of course Noel is hovering over her “baby”

Rescue is not something you do in your “free time”. Rescue is a full time job. When people come to my house, they ask when I sleep. Answer is I don’t much.

Rescue is not about the number of animals you can take in and adopt. Rescue is about knowing how much you can take care of and provide for, learning their personalities, quirks and health issues and finding them the best possible match in a forever home.

Rescue is spending your day off work driving 3 plus hours to pickup a donkey in need, and spending an hour trying to get him loaded on the trailer because he doesn’t know you are trying to help him.

Rescue is not taking vacations, not getting any free time, it’s a full time job. Feeding, watering, caring for animals while working a real job to pay for rescue. It’s answering phone calls daily about animals needing placement, while being bombarded with emails about adoptable animals, volunteering, and visits to the farm.

It’s being physically and mentally exhausted at the end of the day. It’s fundraising, planning events, finding fosters and making sure that everyone is cared for daily.

Rescue is dirty, hard physical work. It’s chucking hay bales, carrying water buckets, trying to convince a donkey to walk on a lead, trying to convince a mare that you are not going to hurt her baby while she spins in circles around you.

Rescue is your house looking like a tornado hit it because you never get time to clean it because by the time you get inside you are spent.

Is it worth it, 100%. Do I sometimes need to take a break yes. Do I get one? No. But I keep going because there are so many more animals that need me.

Happy rescue day Henry! He is such a sweet boy and lives his best life just down the road from me!

Poor Esther was down this morning with a very sore front foot. We believe she has an abscess in that hoof. Called the vet who advised pain meds and a visit tomorrow. Melissa Holistic Equine Therapies heard and packed her bags and immediately came to do a treatment on Esther! We are so thankful for her!

Who remembers the cute little baby in the first couple pics? Pixie, Hadassahs baby. Well she is back for a temporary visit. No she is not up for adoption her owners love her sooo much. I just have a little more time than they do to get some more saddle time in with her. She is already broke to ride just needs some tweaks.

She is gorgeous and all grown up and just a sweet girl. I’m loving hanging out with her. She fit in with our herd very nicely and quickly. I will be sharing a few pics of her while she is here. It’s just kinda nice to update on our old rescues! Her momma is doing great and is absolutely gorgeous and living her best life.

Sorry I haven’t posted recently my husband has been going through some health issues and I’m trying to balance everything working at home. Noel is looking amazing, maybe a little chunky. As soon as this rain stops we are going to ride her and figure out what kind of home she would be best suited for so we can get her adopted. Vet is coming to do dentals next week.
