Introducing Buck, the most adorable pony you'll ever meet! With his playful nature, Buck is sure to steal your heart. He loves nothing more than being the center of attention and rolling around in the mud. Take a look at his cute close-up picture and see for yourself! Buck is a true foodie, and he can't resist his treats. However, be careful when giving him treats, as he can get a bit nippy. Despite this, Buck remains the cutest pony you'll ever encounter!

Our volunteer, Bella, has organized a donation drive for our rescue, and we are grateful for her efforts. Please take a moment to see the list of items we need and donate any that you can. Even one item can make a difference!

Bella has been learning about running a rescue and caring for rescued horses from one of our Board Members, and she has done a great job. We hope her hard work pays off with a successful donation drive.

Thank you for your support!

It's heartwarming to see how Joe, one of our most compassionate volunteers, dedicates his time and effort to help our beloved horses at the rescue. Every Tuesday and Thursday, he works tirelessly with them, fixing and building things, and making sure they feel loved and cared for. The picture of him with Patches, trying to gain her trust, shows the depth of his commitment. We kept our distance so not too interrupt his process.

Patches, along with her c**t Joey and another mare Blondie, were rescued from a seizure in Laredo, Texas in 2023. The conditions they were in were unimaginable, and no horse should ever have to experience such cruelty. HCHR has been taking care of them, and we're proud to say that they have made incredible progress under our care. Joe and one of our Board Members are working with Joey so that he can find a loving home soon.

Despite all the trauma she's been through, Patches is slowly learning to trust humans again, and we can't wait for the day when she'll be ready for adoption. With more training and patience, we're confident that Patches will learn that not all humans are bad.

Diamond was helping out today with putting hay out for all the horses. He also wanted to learn to drive the UTV as well.

Diamond is one of our mustang geldings here at the rescue. This sweet boy is around 21 years young and loves people! He had no formal training but allows kids to jump all over him and ride ba****ck. Diamond does have sponsors but would love a home to call his own.

***AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION***
Meet Buckshot (AKA Buck)
Buck is a 6 year old Sorrel Gelding Pony. He came to us in 2023. He was surrendered by a couple who’s grandkids had lost interest. He had originally been trained and used for barrel racing and jumping. He absolutely LOVES attention and has great energy. He can keep up with the big boys when they run in the pasture. He’s rideable with some proper refresher training. His incredible personality would also make for a fantastic companion horse.
Come by the rescue and visit Buck and he will capture your heart. ❤️🐎

It’s always great when our wonderful sponsors spend some time to groom us! Some of the horses naturally love to roll in the mud, especially during the Texas rain season. Nothing beats the attention we get getting cleaned up and pampered for a bit.
Feel free to stop by during our visiting hours to find out more about volunteering or becoming a sponsor to one of us.

New roommates day! Today we moved Dakota in with Gypsy. These 2 quarter horse mares have a lot in common and we’re sure they’re about to become best friends. Dakota definitely loves the new place and Gypsy is thrilled to have new company.

Swing by and say hello to these gals. They both love attention and of course they love treats too.

Welcome our newest mare to HCHR, Dakota! Dakota was surrendered to us by no fault of her own or previous owners. They knew it was better for her to come to HCHR because it is expensive to care for a horse. Dakota is a feisty quarterhorse mare with a lot of love to give to the right person but for now, she is on her healing jounery from white line disease in a front hoof. This girl loves her food also! She is gaining weight and still needs to put on a few pounds. Dakota will continue to be under observation and care for the foreseeable future. Once healed, she will be available for adoption.

Wanna help Dakota on her healing jounery? 🐴 Just $5.00 helps a horse in need! 🦄 Donate today!

We were blessed to have the UTSA Pre-Veterinary Society come volunteer on Saturday. They got their hands dirty mucking and painting some stalls. The help is much appreciated and hope they enjoyed being around the horses!

This is Buck. Buck believes he is a big horse, not a pony. He follows our Mustang around the pasture like a shadow, looking to Whiskey for help when the other geldings push him around. 😆 He is a fuzzy little pony waiting for his forever home.

Mio and Capt Nemo could not be bothered today with the solar eclipse. Nemo was busy licking his bucket while Mio was enjoying his salt lick. Hill Country Horse Rescue took a break to experience this opportunity. We monitored our horses but none reacted. Our feral kitties decided to hide though, and it was eerily quiet until the eclipse was over.
