As some of you know, I lost my personal horse Grace July 9th..
it was heartbreaking, but I had a huge void to fill, so I took Otis out for a few spins, and I decided to adopt him for myself.
It was watching this very video of Steve riding him in the water that sealed the deal.
Yes I will show updates just like every other adopter! 💕
Not bad for a old Amish horse that had been on the same farm his entire life.
Otis loves to get in the trailer and go places

Let’s chat!

We will start a weekly chat about horses, their care, and tips and tricks we have found useful.

Manure. As a horse owner or care giver, the manure of a horse tells a lot about a horses over all well being.

I was at a show over the weekend and happened to notice a horse with excessive watery manure, i over heard the young lady that the horses manure is always like this.

We have had several horses come into our organization like this, and have learned the hard way, buying this or that, while some things helped after 2-3 weeks of using it didn’t actually cure the watery manure.

Until one product. This is now a staple in our barn, safe for foals and adult horses.
The product is bio-sponge, made by platinum performance.

Is it a bit pricey, yes.
Does it work, yes!
Is it safe, yes!
Is it readily available, NO! you can only obtain it directly from platinum performance.

There is another product that you can use if you’re in a bind. It can help watery manure, just not on the same level as bio sponge.
But its readily available. Daily Gold

https://redmondequine.com/products/daily-gold-stress-relief

Daily watery manure is not normal for a horse, occasional watery manure is ok, especially if you are trailering, or the horse has a stressful situation, or changing feeds, but if it lasts longer then a day or so , it’s not normal.

Have a topic you’d like to get more info on? Reach out and let’s discuss it! If we don’t have the answers for you, we will try to find it.

We as a organization put a lot of time, money, blood, sweat and tears into our horses we adopt out.

We understand time slips away, and people are busy with day to day tasks, work, ect.

But if you’ve adopted one of our horses, it is your duty to follow your contract and send in updated photos.

If we don’t receive them in the next few weeks, please know, we will be following up with a personal visit.

Here is a acceptable picture to show your horses body condition.

If you are having weight issues ever with your horse, please contact us immediately, we understand things happen, and can usually assist in those issues, BEFORE they become a problem

Past graduate Looka Looka ( Loki ) went to the North Adams show to poodle around yesterday, and get some exposure to a horse show.

He did do a Adult lead line. This boy absolutely is the best sport to let his mom Dr Megan dress him up!

And this lovely lady is pending adoption.
Airosilveraway!

Literally the moment she stepped off the trailer, she had someone eyeing her. That someone was here every day.

Update soon!

Recently adopted Doubly Blessed

Doubly went from starving and said to have EPM, to flourishing and negative EPM spinal tap.

Now he is carrying his lovely 13 yo rider on the cross country course.

He certainly is DOUBLY BLESSED 💕

(He’s the 1st horse in the video)

When you get a call from another organization that they have one of your horses, of course you go pick her up..

What happened? The adopter violated her contract and surrendered her to another organization. Never reached out to us!

Thank God us organizations work together.

Welcome back Cokers Cowgirl.

Still waiting for a reply from the old adopter as why she’s in this condition.
Underfed and full of ulcers is my best guess.
We obviously have a call into our vet for a eval and probable scope.

It’s only been six weeks since 3 yo Texas first Force ( Indy) has been adopted, and she’s going English and Western and being ridden bitless!
Here she’s leading out on a trail ride. She’s bold and beautiful 💕

Thank you Sandy!
Sandy seen me in the parking lot of the feed store and ran up to my truck with a crisp $100.00 bill as a donation!
💕
That covered the cost of the bedding I went in and bought!

Wow! Thank you to a anonymous donor for sending us 3 of these beautiful stall guards. What a nice surprise 💕

If you’ve been to the rescue in the last few months you know our fence is in need of repair, well brand new construction.

We could not fathom taking funds out of the rescue to pay for that repair.

Then the question was, do we use vinyl, wood? we almost ordered all the wood to put up a brand new fence, but then stumbled on this!

We’ve finally made up our mind, and proud to announce we will be constructing a brand new continuous pipe fencing!!

We will be constructing in a few weeks, volunteers will be needed and welcomed!

Ours will be a tad bit different then the picture, we will have 5 bar, pictured is 4bar.

*Fully funded by myself and has and, not the rescue
All the new 4x4s donated by family friends, Boose Flooring! Thank you!

You hear the word transparency a lot when it comes to being a nonprofit..

Let’s talk about that!

I’m going to be as transparent as I can.
Our organization formed in 2018, and we did ok, our adoption rates were successful, and donations were decent.
We’ve always taken in horses in our community and the ones no other organizations would.
We’ve taken in surgical cases, major rehab cases ect.
Every year we take in more horses with less money, but we’ve always figured it out.
This year has been quite different!
I hate to say this but we are full, we will not be taking in anymore horses!
Why you ask?

Adoptions are down, first and foremost!

Second, we can not compete with organizations that are doing mass bailing scams! We just can’t! This will be the demise of horse rescue, and other organizations that are like us!

Third, our donations are at a all time low, partly due to the mass bailing scams above, as we’ve lost some of our donors to these mass bailers. As well as the economy.

Forth, We have lost out on funding because we will not change our philosophy, where horses in our organization will be protected, meaning we won’t change our adoption contract to suit those agencies that want us to do mass adoptions.

Fifth, there just isn’t enough grants to go around, or you don’t qualify. There are hundreds of organizations begging for the same grant funds.

Sixth, we’ve taken more horses back that had been previously adopted out, then ever. (Yes they can always come back)

Does this mean we close our doors? Possibly?
It costs us $4000 a month to operate and we have $212 a month in reoccurring monthly donations.
So you can guarantee we are struggling!
With that being said, we are closing our doors to any new intakes, and see what the near future holds for us.
We still have sanctuary horses that will always need us.

There are several ways you can help!

first and foremost, do not support mass bailing organizations! They are a scam!

Secondly, you can sign up to be a monthly donor. (Even $10. A month is helpful) https://givebutter.com/WK6B7z

Third, you can make a donation to our veterinarian bill directly - 248-628-7004

Fourth, you can make a donation directly to our feed store 586- 784-5911

Fifth, a direct one time donation. Here, or our pay pal giving, Venmo ect.
