Foggy morning yesterday. Then this hawk was hunting from the fencing in the large front field paddock.

Little Buddy, he is a character and can be fresh, but he has come such a long way since we got him. He trusts people much more now and he is friendlier overall.

As we remeber today the lives of so many lost on 9/11, Mylestone is a recipient of a grant each year from the Alison Marie Wildman Foundation. Alison's life was cut far too short because of this horrible tradegy. Alison was an animal lover and avid rider. Her family visisted the rescue early on and met the Mylestone horses. It is an honor to be part of Alison's legacy.

Can you tell Shadow just got a horse treat. He is such a sweet horse. He is completely blind and has been with us for 19+ years now. ❤️

Bruce was busy yesterday rebuilding our manure ramp, it has gotten a lot of use over the past 20+ years.

Tommy Two Tone is glad the storms are over from last night. He and Livy do not like the wind at all. The horses are enjoying rolling in the mud today. photo by Austin

Scout likes to kick his stall door when he sees the people that feed him, especially if he knows he might get a horse treat. He is a love!

Casey enjoying the cooler weather. Casey has been with us since 2009 and came starved and neglected. He has several special needs and requires ulcer medication daily. His best buddy is Scout.

Austin took this beautiful photo of Sadie. She is 33 years old and came to us starved in 2022. She requires special care and has some medical issues we are monitoring. She thrives on her routine.

I am heartbroken to share with you that we had to have our dear sweet pony “Cookie” humanely euthanized. We knew when the police seized her three years ago, she was in horrible condition. She over came so much abuse and neglect, she fought for two weeks in the equine hospital after being rescued in 2021. She spent the last 3 years here loved and adored. Her medical issues from horrible neglect plagued her, she had such damage to her front hooves but she rallied time and time again thanks to her wonderful farrier Todd and vet Dr MaryBeth, an arsenal of medications and her devoted caretakers and volunteers. Unfortunately, she developed abscesses in her right front hoof again and this time the x-rays showed that the infection has reached all the way to her coffin bone which was already damaged from years of neglect. We couldn’t bring her back from this diagnosis and it would eventually result in her turning septic.

Cookie spent the morning with people who loved her sitting with her in her stall. She ate lots of treats and we made sure she enjoyed grazing on grass which she hadn’t been able to do with her hoof condition before the vet arrived. She left us instantly and painlessly. But she forever left a hole in our hearts because she was so truly grateful to be rescued. Thank you to everyone who helped with all her medical care over the years. She was one of a kind , she tolerated so much because she knew we were trying to help her. She made us laugh with her nickers, and pig grunts. Cookie truly loved us back and she knew she was loved and adored. It is rare to have a horse or pony touch so many people and Cookie did. I don’t think in my 30 years of rescue that I have ever come across an animal as grateful as Cookie (my little Peanut) was to be saved. 💔

More of Emmett leaping for joy, can we get some likes for Emmett? He is a character!

08/16/2024

Piper headed out back to graze in her field.

Emmett likes to hop in the air when he gets excited, so this is Emmett hopping with all 4 hooves off the ground. He looks silly but this is not photo shopped.

I thought this was an interesting photo I took with being able to see to the back field with three horses lined in a row. Jiminy, Checkers and Tango.

Jackson and Shadow two blind geldings who are buddies. This is what they do when you call their names. They know the sounds of our foot steps too. Both were rescued from abuse. #mylestoneequinerescue

Help a Horse Day at Horsemen's Outlet was a success! While the weather didn't help us and turn out was lighter than in past years, we still met our $10,000 match which we are thrilled about! Thank you to everyone that helped make this event possible, our wonderful volunteers, supporters and amazing staff at Horsemen's Outlet. Thank you for helping us provide for the rescue horses!

Tucker being turned out

Mary took this of Tucker being turned out this monring, galloping to his buddy Sundance.

Silly Livy

Livy came in the barn today to have her hooves trimmed and she went in Dakota's stall. Bruce made a shelf for Dakota years ago when he came because he sits on his water buckets, This way he could sit back on his shelf. Well Livy found another use for his shelf today, a scratching post. Thanks for the video Lois.

Mary took this video of Blaze coming in from lunch. He is wonderful with the special needs kids, has a heart of gold. He lets you know when you aren't getting him out fast enough and nudges you. He isn't crazy about other horses and thinks of himself more like a person. <3

Poor Woody is on stall rest. He was running around and hurt his left hind leg. He normally lives out with Holly. We made sure he could see her from his stall window. If she goes out of his sight he will call to her. The vet will be back to recheck him this week. We think he tore a ligament in his hock.

Mary took this video of Dakota and Cloudy playing this morning.

Mary and her husband Jim helped out at the farm this morning. Mary took this video of Ghost, Dillon, Sundance, Quincy and Casey playing in our front field.
