🐴❤️‍🩹 It's a VERY festive holiday post-adoption update with Halsteads Chrome, aka HC!!

HC was adopted by his human, Sarah, a year ago, and is absolutely thriving! He's built a strong bond with Sarah, and everyone just loves his sweet and goofy personality!! He lives with 2 buddies that have become his besties, and has been a joy for Sarah. We can't thank them enough for giving HC such a wonderful life, and look forward to hearing more about your adventures together! 💜

🐴❤️‍🩹 When there's freezing rain in the forecast, you use the stock trailer to pick up your big load of feed!! HUGE thank you to the incredible people that helped us out with all the heavy lifting over at Windmill Feed & Pet !! 🤔 What did we pick up for our rescues?

• 70 bags of Purina Horse Feed Senior
• 30 bags Purina Impact
• 3 bags alfalfa pellets
• 2 bags BUCKEYE Nutrition Grow-n-Win ration balancer
• 1 bag ProElite Feed Omega

🤷‍♀️ Any guesses on how long this will last our rescues here at GRG? **HINT** We go through nearly 150 pounds of senior feed alone - EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

🐴❤️‍🩹 If you guessed the newest member of our farrier team, Olivia Good, you guessed correctly!!!!

Olivia graduated from the MN School of Horseshoeing almost a year ago, and since then - she's been continuing her education as an apprentice with more experienced farriers - like our primary farrier, Alex Ehr. Olivia is kind and patient with our rescues, takes her time and is diligent about giving each horse a quality, balanced trim, and is already a very talented farrier. We are grateful to have such skilled and caring farriers like Olivia on our team. 👣💜

Some may not agree with me on this, but “OLD” is not an acceptable excuse for a horse being skinny. Yes, senior horses are harder to feed. Their teeth wear down, digestion changes, and they burn calories differently. Keeping weight on them takes more effort, more money, more time, and more intention. That part is true.

But thin is not the same as skinny.

An older horse may lose some topline. They may look softer, less muscled, ribs showing a bit, a little tucked as the years add up. That can be normal. Ribs clearly showing, hips sharp, spine protruding, and no padding anywhere? That is not age. That is neglect.

Old age doesn’t lower the standard of care. It raises it. Senior horses require regular dental care, appropriate feed, parasite control, and often multiple meals a day. If you cannot meet those needs, the kindest choice is to ask for help or make different arrangements.

They carried us for years. They worked, taught, and trusted us. Growing old should not mean growing hungry.

🐴❤️‍🩹 It's time for another EXCITING round of our "fun for the whole family" guessing game - !! Cinder and Rusty had their hoof trims today - can you guess which member of our hoof care team was out for some draft cross quality time?? 👣

** Hint: it's one of the newest additions to our farrier team!

🐴❤️‍🩹 ADORABLE PHOTO OF SPUD FOR ATTENTION!! I'm debating about writing up a year end post - some of our highs and lows, the emotional blows, and the wonderful new beginnings.

🤔 Do I or don't I? React or comment if you want me to babble about the wild ride that was 2025!!

When a horse closes its eyes beside you, it is not sleeping.

It is trusting.

In the wild, closing your eyes means danger.
It means vulnerability.
It means surrender.

So when a horse rests its head near your shoulder and lets its eyes fall shut…
That is not habit.
That is a gift.

It is saying:
“I believe you will keep watch.”
“I believe I am safe here.”
“I believe in you.”

And in a world where trust is rare —
That quiet moment is sacred.

Guard it well.

🐴❤️‍🩹 Wishing you a wonderful and safe holiday season, filled with all the things that bring you joy from - with cameos from her friends (names in photo captions) - and the WHOLE herd of misfits and rejects here at GRG Ranch Horse Rescue & Sanctuary.

~ Lucy came to us at the end of September from a hoarding situation we've dubbed the . Sadly, she suffered partial facial paralysis due to a kick from a herd mate while competing for resources. When she arrived, she was skinny, carrying a SUBSTANTIAL worm load (f***l egg count if 500!!) with no vet care or farrier whatsoever in her life. While she'll always have a slight droop to her right ear and crooked lips, with the help of Oak Creek Equine and Karing Waves PEMF Therapy - she's made substantial improvement over the last few months! She can now blink her right eye again, the droop of her lower lip is all but gone, and she's chewing much more evenly! Her weight is great, she's been vaccinated, microchipped, had her vet exam with our friends at Cleary Lake Veterinary Hospital Equine, and is a sweet, smart, happy and healthy girl!!
