🌟 A heartfelt thank-you to the two amazing supporters who responded to our recent call for winter needs-Amber J. and Daryla S!

Hope and Isaac are staying warm and cozy, enjoying some fresh hay during this cold weather. 🐴❄️ They are beautiful horses, and we’re so grateful for their progress and well-being here at the rescue.

As we continue to care for them and all of our horses, we encourage you to consider donating to support their needs and the work we do here. Every donation, big or small, helps us provide food, shelter, medical care, and the love these animals deserve. 💖

Your support means the world to us and the horses! 🙏

❄️ Winter Costs Are Adding Up—We Need Your Help! ❄️

As temperatures drop, the care needs for our rescue horses rise. Winter means significantly higher costs to ensure our horses stay healthy and comfortable:

🐴 Hay Consumption: Did you know horses eat about 25% more hay during cold weather to maintain their body heat? With the recent cold snap and temperatures in the negatives, we’ve had to purchase extra bales to make sure every horse is well-fed.

💧 Frozen Water Solutions: When temperatures are consistently below freezing, we run generators to keep the water from freezing. This costs about $15 per day, ensuring our horses have access to clean, fresh water around the clock.

We’re asking for donations to help us cover these additional winter expenses. Every dollar makes a difference in keeping our rescue horses safe and comfortable through the season. 🐴💖

🌨️❄️ Bracing for the Cold Snap at Mending Hope Equine Rescue ❄️🌨️

The arctic blast is rolling in, and we’re making sure our horses stay safe and comfortable during this stretch of frigid temperatures. With highs in the low teens and nighttime lows dipping into the negatives, preparation is key!

🏠 Our shelters are stocked with fresh, cozy bedding to keep the horses warm and dry.
🍎 The horses are receiving extra feed to help them stay healthy and maintain their body heat.
💧 Our generators are running to keep water from freezing, ensuring everyone stays hydrated despite the icy conditions.

Your support makes it possible for us to care for our rescues no matter what Mother Nature throws our way. Stay warm, everyone, and let’s hope this cold snap is short-lived! ❄️🐴💙

Looks like everyone, especially Penny, was wondering what we were doing in the tack shed! 🧐🐴 She couldn’t help but peek through the window to check it out. It’s always entertaining when the horses want to know what we’re up to. 😄

As the weather gets chillier, both our feathered friends and four-legged pals know how to find shelter from the cold. 🐦❄️ The little birds have taken refuge in the bush, while the horses head into their own shelters for some warmth and protection. 🐴💨

It’s amazing to see how all our animals find their way to stay safe and snug as the seasons change!

🌟🎥🐴 We’re sharing a few video posts of Spartacus’s introduction to his new herd!! 🌟

Spartacus has officially joined Loco, Penny, Gypsy, Sienna, Scarlett, Cinnamon, and Pixie. 🐴 Watching a new horse integrate into the herd is always an adventure!

Horses have a fascinating way of communicating, relying on body language to establish boundaries and understand their place in the group. Sometimes this means a bit of chasing, a nip, or even a kick as everyone adjusts. It may look dramatic, but it’s just their way of saying, “Where do I fit in here?” Spartacus is full of s***k and curiosity, making his presence known among the larger mares!

Herd life is essential for a horse’s well-being, teaching them valuable social skills and providing companionship. We’re eager to see how these relationships continue to develop as the herd settles into its new dynamic. It’s all part of the journey toward harmony. 💖
