Today in Country Music History: On this day in 1949, Roy Rogers had his handprints embedded in concrete in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California. His horse, Trigger, also had its hoof prints cast for posterity.

It's a beautiful, windy day here in the hills. Perfect for covering the rescue grounds with horse hair tumbleweeds! As winter transitions to spring, horses go through a process of shedding their thick winter coats to make way for their lighter, sleeker summer coat. Shedding is a sign that warmer weather and longer days are here, but it also means the horses need proper care and attention during this transitional period. From all of us covered in hair here on the ranch we hope you have a blessed Saturday!

It's National Help A Horse Day.

National Help a Horse Day on April 26th each year encourages horse lovers and advocates to join forces and protect abused and neglected horses. The day raises awareness of the need for horse sanctuaries and rescues. In the United States, the horse holds legendary status. Despite that, many go unwanted, abused, or neglected. This day strives to address those issues by drawing attention to several organizations that support horse rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption. Their programs offer shelter and veterinary care for horses that have been neglected or abused. Many of them provide a sanctuary where the horses live out the remainder of their lives. Once rehabilitated, many of the horses become available for adoption.

🎇🎆What a wild ride 2023 was for us, our first official year as a rescue came with alot of ups and downs, we had many successes as well as made our share of mistakes this year, learned from them, and we are rolling into 2024 even stronger. We would like to thank all of our amazing donors, volunteers, and supporters who helped us learn, grow, and make it through. We have alot in the works for the new year to not only benefit the many horses that need our help but also our community, sharing our passion of these beautiful animals, and giving folks who otherwise wouldn't have the option to live this life that we love the opportunity to be a part of it! Our goals for the new year are to rescue and rehome as many unwanted, neglected, and abused horses as possible as well as spark the interest in our community, and change the life of as many people that we can by getting them involved and showing the peace and hope that a horse can bring into your life. From all of us here at The Bad Luck Ranch have a happy new year!
