Purrfect day to escape the heat and have cat cuddles with our barn cat, Sammie 😻
Our freshly pampered Veloci couldn’t believe his luck this morning when he found a ridiculously muddy puddle on route to his pasture 👌🫣

🤍Regent’s Hope (Reggie)🤍
2000-2023
We are very sad to share the news our sweet dude, Reggie, gained his angel wings Saturday night after a sudden colic. He fought his hardest to stay with us, but alas, he is now pain free, no doubt having fun and frolics with his old buddies.
Reggie had many talents on and off the racetrack; he earned over $136k on the track as a nippy little racehorse and off the track his popularity among the other geldings was unmatched, he was the Dude, the guy everyone loves, the one you call to share your troubles and have a fun evening. His popularity and chill nature meant he became our resident stallion tamer, he never failed! He LOVED a muddy puddle, and to have his head rubbed (you’d hear “reggie.. reggie…reeegggiiiee” from his stall as he’d capture a volunteer for a head rub). Even though his arthritis gave him stiff days, his positive attitude never failed. By far his biggest talent was the ability to make us laugh and smile, every single day.
Oh Reg, what will we do without your fun soul. You’re so missed and left this world oh so loved. Fly high Reggie-roo 💙
Thank you to all the volunteers who have cared for him over the years, scraping off mounds of mud, summer baths and giving him head rubs and all the treats.
Thank you to all our supporters and partners for making it possible to give Reggie many amazing years of life at ILEHC. A life very well lived🤍🐴

We hit 100 degrees today so definitely feeling like summer 🔥☀️Heat extremes always add extra checks and chores to make sure our ILEHC herd stay as comfortable and healthy as possible — horse have .. fresh water, electrolytes, frequent hay distribution, cold showers, extra stall picking and fly spray, access to stall, shade and fans. This is all thanks to the horses personal assistants (aka our amazing volunteers) who go above and beyond to make sure these pampered ponies stay safe and comfy.Special thanks to Charlie Deveaux and Tom, who took on double shifts and Emma who worked through today’s peak heat to care for all 💗Some very lucky horses having the best volunteer teams looking after them everyday, through all the seasons 💗
