We introduced Faith last month and would like to share her progress ànd some serious issues that have come up recently. Please remember that Faith came to us from animal control after she was seized along with several others from Lisa Dunkley.
This is from Dani Jietz on Faith...

"Faith has been coming along nicely. She is a sweet mare that has a traumatic past. I went out to feed one morning and she had blood all over her tail, rump and legs, at first I thought she had been rubbing and tore something, so I contacted OER and we scheduled an appoint with Dr. Sweet at Sweet River Equine Clinic. After Dr. Sweet's examination, he said the foal is in good shape. Faith has a thinning of her internal walls due to so many pregnancies; one after another, and has thinning of veins that are bursting due to the weight she is currently carrying. This will continue until she foals. Dr. Sweet assures there is no current danger, however this poor horse is currently suffering the effects of never ending breeding without any consideration of her health.
She also has lesions on her v***a that may be cancerous, but were hopefully caught and treated in time to stop it."
We are taking donations for her medical expenses either by contacting Sweet River directly at 209-524-9191, or by using the donation button included in this post.

Update on adoption fee

This is the previous post information we posted earlier

UPDATE ON CORE...
This handsome seven-year-old, 15hh QH type gelding is kind and intelligent with a major handsome factor! Here is an update from the trainer...
"He is smart and easy to drive, I did some bridle work with him, then started flapping the stirrups. He's not ready to be ridden, but he's close. Overall, he's a great horse, easy to groom and tack up, and he does have some pull back issues that we're working on. He didn't want to give me a hind foot today and tried to kick at me, I let him think on that for a while, and he settled back down."
Core is ready for you for to train up in the discipline of your choice. He is not a beginner horse and will need training by someone who has the knowledge and skills to bring him to his potential.
Core is UTD on everything. His adoption fee us $800.00
Please visit our website at www.oakdaleequinerescue.com to fill out an application and adoption agreement with the name CORE at the top.

This is Yesterdays update
Update on Core...
This ruggedly handsome guy is doing great! He was just trimmed on Wednesday and was good. He tacks up nicely, easy to groom, his front feet are easy to clean, and he is getting much better with his back feet. He drives, lunges, and is easy to work with from the ground. He needs a quiet patient hand.
Core is ready for his forever home. He would do well with an experienced person or trainer.
His adoption fee is $800

08/07/2024

Meet Intern,
Intern is up for adoption for $2000
He came in as a stud knowing absolutely nothing from the Lisa Dunckley case in January. He has since been gelded. Intern is a 7 years old and stands 14 HH. He’s currently in training with Heather Pedro and this is her evaluation on him.

Intern is curious and intelligent. He is playful and fun to work with. He does tend to be watchful of things going on around him but not spooky. He now halters and leads. Currently Intern is continuing his education, catching up on learning things like how to pick up his feet, stand for the farrier, tie, load in the trailer and be groomed/bathed. He is learning quickly and becoming a favorite to have around the barn. He is a wonderful sport pony prospect and would excel in many disciplines.

If you’re interested in intern, you must fill out adoption application, which is on our website OakdaleEquineRescue.org.

Lenny has been adopted and will be living in Scottsdale Arizona

We are still gathering items for the Silent Auction and Live Auction! Last year there 10 fi****ms auctioned off, as well as a beautiful gun case. So many amazing and one-of-a-kind items for you to bid on at the Silent Auction tables, too!
This year has been extremely difficult for the rescue because of the amount of horses that were were taken in with medical issues and in need of training. Donations have been at an all time low, as well. We know that it is a challenge for all of our dedicated followers as well. We completely understand that, and are grateful for then funds that you so graciously send to us. That is why it's so important to us that the Benefit Barn Bash is successful every year, and we work tirelessly to make it an event to remember!

Lenny has been adopted

Lenny is up for adoption and adoption fee is $1200. If you’re interested in Lenny, please go to our website oakdaleequinerescue.org and fill out an adoption application.
Please contact Jeannine Etheridge at 209-614-2338.

Lenny is a 15.2 and growing gelding who will be three in January, he is a warmblood who was siezed with many others from the Lisa Dunckley case.

Lenny has come along way! We have been fighting with getting worms under control and we finally did it! Sweet River Equine Clinic has given us the good news that he has passed two stool samples and now ready to go to his new home.

Here is what Heather had to say about Lenny today;
This handsome young gelding has an old soul. Lenny leads, ties, and picks up his feet. He is learning to stand for the farrier and lunge. He has very good manners coupled with a calm and independent personality. He would be great for someone looking for an uncomplicated young prospect. In my time working with Lenny, I have found that he handles situations with ease. He hasn't overreacted or gotten excited about anything I have introduced him to. I am very impressed with his calm nature and feel he will be simple to work with as he progresses toward being started under saddle.

Please help RUBY get the hernia surgery she needs!

Yesterday, we updated you on some of the horses currently in our program, and today we are focusing on one in particular. Ruby is the long yearling who could not shed her coat due to
an incredibly high worm count that we are still working on lowering.
Ruby has a hernia that needs to be repaired. Funds are extremely low right now and we are hoping to have donations sent directly to Sweet River Equine Clinic to fund her operation.
Any amount will help toward reaching our goal.
Thank you all for your constant support.

07/26/2024

We are reaching out for assistance with donations. This year has proven to be challenging, and we currently care for 12 horses in our program. Donations are crucial to our operations, and we appreciate your support. Please find a donation button below if you can contribute to helping us through this difficult period. Thank you from the team at Oakdale Equine Rescue.
If you would rather not donate through Facebook, we also accept checks payable to Oakdale Equine, Rescue or OER and mail to PO Box 1980, Oakdale CA 95361

INTRODUCING ANGIE BABY! Angie baby is a 19 years old Quarter Horse. She and four other horses were siezed from a.property in Galt where they were living in dangerous paddocks full of broken pallets, rusted lawnmowers, and other hazardous items.
She has very sore front feet that her vet thinks will heal now that we are treating her for her bad thrush and give her a little bit more time and get her through a couple more trimmings. She has also been shod and seems to be doing better.
We will access her training once she is able to walk soundly.
Keep watching this page for updates on sweet Angie Baby! 🐎❤️

07/19/2024

INTRODUCING RUBY!
Ruby is one of the five horses who came to OER from Stanislaus County Animal Control from a siezure in Galt. She is an approximately 3 year old Quarter Horse.
We have included pictures that were taken when she came in. As you can see, she wasn't shedding out. After a f***l count it was clear why she was retaining her baby coat. Ruby's worm count was 875, which is extremely high. After a couple wormings, she has definitely improved and she has grown a beautiful, slick coat.
Since her arrival, she has learned to halter and lead, as well as load into the trailer.
We are monitoring her health at this time and will continue her ground work. She is very sweet and a quick learner. She will do best with an experienced owner who will train her up without "holes" in her education.
Stay tuned for updates and adoption availability 🐎❤️

07/18/2024

MEET INTERN!
We are introducing yet another one of the horses siezed from the Lisa Dunckley case. Intern is about 14.1 hands tall at 7 years old. He has never been started. He is a completely blank slate.
Intern was castrated a couple months back and is doing well. Our guess is that he is the sire of the foals that are close to being born out of the mares who were taken by Stanislaus County Animal Control off of Dunkley's property, as he was in pasture with all of the mares and was exhibiting stallion-like behavior.
Intern has started his education with us so he can be safely haltered and led respectfully.
More updates to come! 🐎❤️

07/17/2024

MEET LENNY!!!
Lenny is a 15.2 and growing gelding who will be three in January, he is a warmblood who was siezed with many other from the Lisa Dunckley case. We had not posted him in the past because we weren't sure we were going to be able to save him. He had so many worms when he arrived and we are still treating him. He struggled putting on weight and was extremely lethargic.
Lenny has come along way and now is in training with Heather Pedro. Even in training, Heather is still working on getting the remainder of the worms under control.
Here is what Heather had to say about Lenny today;
This handsome young gelding has an old soul. Lenny leads, ties, and picks up his feet. He is learning to stand for the farrier and lunge. He has very good manners coupled with a calm and independent personality. He would be great for someone looking for an uncomplicated young prospect.

I am very impressed with his calm nature and feel he will be simple to work with as he progresses toward being started under saddle.
We will keep you informed on his progress! 🐎❤️

COWBOY IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Here's what his trainer Dani Jeitz has to say about him... Cowboy has impeccable ground manners. He can be difficult to catch, but once he knows you are safe, he will wait quietly for you to come to him. He is light in the face. I have ridden him in a snaffle and correction bit. Both work nicely and he is comfortable in either of them. He takes a bit quietly. He does need a little work on his stop and backup, he has a stop, but he kind of runs it out. The first few times I saddled him, he moved around a bit, he now stands quietly as he knows I’m not going to over cinch or rush him. He does have a bit of anxiety in the arena but is head down and calm out on the trail. I don’t think he has a lot of trail experience, but he sure enjoys it. He’s seen a lot of new things, but never spooked and took everything in stride. He walks out nicely, can lead, be in the middle or at the end. He has an amazing trot out on trail. His gaits seem to be more rushed and uncertain in the arena, though he does walk, trot and canter on the correct lead in both directions. He stands quietly for a bath, grooming and braiding. You can clean his feet, put on boots (I used Cavallo’s as I was uncertain how he would fare barefoot at N. Shore Camanche). Crosses water, though if deep enough he would like to stop for a quick roll. 😊 I have put quite a bit of time on this little guy in a week and he’s been up for all the challenges. We worked during the bad weather (wind), and he is solid. I really like this little gelding and he will make someone an amazing partner. I think he would do best with his own person out on trail while working up to more arena time. Cowboy's adoption fee is $4500. Please visit our website at www.oakdaleequinerescue.com to fill out an application and adoption agreement with the name COWBOY at the top. More videos in the comment section!

Reese is a 15 year old 14.1 hands high Bay mare and she’s up for adoption😊 She is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations and dental and ready for her new home. Her adoption fee is $1500. Other videos will be in the comments. Reese has been with Dani Jeitz with DJ horsemanship. Here are her comments Reese is a very sweet mare, easy to handle and she comes running in from the pasture when she sees you. She is a bit head shy, is cautious and watches you closely while you are grooming her but has not pulled back or attempted to bite or kick. She stands tied quietly for any amount of time or anywhere you want to leave her tied. Easy to saddle, I can throw the pad on from the off-side, and she doesn’t move, I can saddle easily but she does look, and you can tell she has tried to bite while being cinched up. She is getting better as she’s realizing I’m not going to over tighten the cinch. She is very difficult to bit up, I can and do put a snaffle on her while I ride her, but I ride her with a halter. She is quiet to mount, has an amazing trot, but is very lazy and quite unsure. She has a nice stop but doesn’t back up (we’re working on this). Every time I have ridden her, I must convince her it’s okay and I want her to move. Once she feels safe, I can walk and trot around the arena, I have not asked her to lope as the ground is too slick. She’s not spooky, or I haven’t had her spook at anything, riding or leading. She doesn’t have any problems leaving the barn and the other horses, but she is gate sour in the arena. This horse will make someone a nice horse with time and a soft touch. if you’re interested in Reese, please fill out the adoption form on our website Oakdale equinerescue.org.
