HORSE OF THE WEEK: Chipeta

Chipeta is a 13 year old Quarter Horse. She joined the herd when the couple who previously cared for her no longer were able to. She prefers more space from dogs and is an independent lady who doesn't have a particular horse that she's bonded with (yet!). While not a horse for riding, she is friendly with people and is curious about the Masterson Massage technique we offer. Chipeta LOVES getting her hind end scratched and brushed!

If you are interested in sponsoring Chipeta you can donate here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/6dbf5cd0-a29f-47e3-b896-fa0f7fe0f4a6

🐾In Honor of National Dog Day🐾

Introducing the latest addition to the Puppy Pack at Metaphorse!
A female Jack Russel Terrier whose name is TBD~
She will be joining Abby and Ellie Mae in calling this place her home later TODAY. 🥰

Maple is a volunteer's dog who LOVES to visit Metaphorse since it is also a pup's paradise with room to run around. Plus, mud and horse p**p to roll in! Luckily, there is also a stream to stay cool and wash off in. 😜

Meet Candy Manzana, she’s our horse of the week!! Candy is a 33 year old quarter horse mare. Pretty sure most of Montrose had owned her at one point or another. In her prime she was a phenomenal show horse, now she’s enjoying retirement with our aging herd. Candy is so sweet (no pun intended) she’s been a favorite of our kiddos for years. You can find ways to support her and her herd mates on our website, at metaphorse.com. Thanks

It’s time for a micro-dose of cuteness with this week’s Horse of the Week, Bullseye!

Bullseye is a ten year old miniature horse who had a rough start in life. He was overburdened at too young of an age with riders that were far too heavy for him, causing him a lot of pain. And his shelter was a chicken coop. This unintentional mistreatment caused Bullseye to lash out and become a bit of a rebel. Which is where Metaphorse got involved. We loaded him into our Highlander and brought him to his new home. After a flea bath, Bullseye joined the herd. Ten years later, Bullseye is still a little distrustful of humans, but he shows up for healing sessions in the greatest of ways.

What he lacks in stature he makes up for in personality. He may be the smallest in the herd, but he rules! And who can resist those golden locks?

Hey, don’t forget that our Healer and Artist Fair is coming up in just a few days. We have a lot of really fantastic local healers and artists who will be presenting and hosting booths. There will be activities for your kids while you peruse the offerings. (Make sure you bring their water shoes for wading in our creek!)

07/29/2024

Update: She’s still up and doing fine. Eating, drinking, living the good life. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to End of Trail horse rescue and Carrie for the use of their large animal lift. It literally saved our sweet Tinkerbells life today! Our community is just amazing! I wasn’t able to tag everyone, but thank you for being there!

Sending thanks to everyone who helped us out in 2023, could not have done it without you!

Before you ride the horse, first be the horse 😋

This popped up on my phone today. This was one of the most fun days on the ranch, the sun shined, it rained, it poured, and we laughed and laughed. Great memories!

National day of the horse, Metaphorse herd is taking it easy!

We were at Oak Grove School Farm Program today!

What’s the best part about kids camp? Teaching children how to be soft with gentle horse souls. What’s another best part? Empowering these kids to be strong, confident, and UNSTOPPABLE!

Corona and Robert have found a new home and an 8 year old to love forever and ever

Sunday cleanup! Thank you so much volunteers for helping us!!

Raining!!

We enjoyed cooler weather at todays horse camp! The kiddos learned about first aid, stuffed hay bags, mucked stalls, rode horses, and played in the creek. One more camp to go this summer! Get on our email list so you don’t miss out on the fun 🙃

There are over 80,000 free roaming wild horses in the United States! The kiddos at horse camp this week met Tali, a 12 year old mustang, and her best friend Konnie. Konnie is a local wild horse trainer, and she is an important piece and active participant in making their lives better! Wild horses are an important piece of our nations history. Thank you Konnie and Tali!!
