Just wanted to take a moment to say “thank you” to all of the amazing people who donated and shared this year.

We were able to raise $1000 which buys us a little more time!

Stay tuned as our Winter Holiday fundraiser will be unique hand-burned holiday gifts of leather goods, hats, and shoes.

“Honey”
Foaled 2019
Half Quarter Horse
14.2H

“Just because a life is banged up a little doesn’t mean you throw a whole life away.”

Honey will be looking for a family that doesn’t mind that she cannot do high impact work or difficult terrain.

Walk/trot only will be her speed.

She has been trained with R+ training and would be happiest giving pony rides to lighter riders.

While she patiently waits for her hopeful forever family she will continue to participate as a therapy horse at our facility.

If you are interested in meeting “Honey” please message the rescue and schedule a time to meet her.

We know her forever home is out there. 🥹❤️

Everyone meet “Boo” 👻

She was dropped off on 🎃Halloween🎃 by a concerned citizen who found her half frozen and starved. 🥺❤️‍🩹

She’s a 7-8 month old “kitt-teen” who is TINY.

At only 3 pounds she is the smallest cat I’ve ever met and the veterinarian said she likely won’t get much bigger.

She is all white with a black tail which makes her marking super unique. 😍

If you’d be interested in giving “Boo” a forever home please let us know!

This is absolutely true for horses as well. Traditional training with pressure/release may get results but never without damage.

Aversive motivation never leads to a trusting relationship; only learned helplessness and compliance.

✨ Trying to change behaviour without connection is like opening a door without a key — you might force it open, but it will leave a mark. 💔

Connection is the key that allows change to happen safely.
When a child feels seen, understood and valued, they don’t need to defend — they can learn.

🔑 Lead with connection, and growth will follow.

Halloween emergency intake of this sweet boy who was found struggling in the cold by a patient’s family.

We need Halloween name ideas! 💡 🧠

We also need your help in spreading the word to help this sweet baby find a home ASAP.

We are fairly certain there are more kittens at the location he was found that need help. ❤️‍🩹

We need YOU to rock our world! 🌎

Gravel, sand, and stone!

We need it all in order to win the war against the dreaded mud blight!

Without added gravel each year we could end up with a tragic fate like the Never Ending Story! (Exaggeration but still…) 🫣

Can you help us?

Every small donation helps!

Our goal is $2,000!

(Photo is from one of the greatest movies but most tragic scenes in “The Never Ending Story”)

Maybe Casper could play that horses’s stunt double if they ever remake it!
