Ranger's Legacy Equine Rescue

Ranger's Legacy Equine Rescue RLER is a non profit IRS 501(c)3 organization EIN #32-0357825 . PayPal: [email protected] I found a spot to turn around and headed back to him.

On November 3rd of 2011, I was driving from Highland Meadows to Los Lunas on a desolate stretch of Hwy 6 in New Mexico. As I drove past a portion of the Isleta Reservation, I saw an extremely emaciated horse standing along the fenceline. When I pulled over, I was dumbfounded at the condition of the bay gelding (there is an album in photos). The words that fell from my mouth were "no way. there's j

ust no way" dotted with expletives. I noticed the dried mud on his legs and knew he needed water along with food so I left a small bit of alfalfa that was in the back of my truck and, telling him I would be back, I continued on to Los Lunas which was still a half hour away. When I returned to where I had left him, he was no longer there. I left the water for him and drove along the fenceline looking for him. I finally saw him cresting a small hill heading away from the road. No matter how much I called to him, he did not turn around. Unfortunately, it was the last time I would see him alive. The day after I saw the gelding I called and spoke with an Isleta Ranger about the horse and he told me that someone had dumped him on their property a few weeks prior. They had tried to catch him when they first saw him but he avoided them and, as the reservation encompassed thousands of acres, they had no idea where he had ended up. He was willing to let me on the property but, since it was a Friday, I would have to wait until the following Monday for him to be available. After the phone call, I went back out to try to find the gelding. I would drive along the fenceline with binoculars, call for him, and hope that he would show up. I spent hours waiting for him on Saturday and Sunday. He never drank the water or ate the hay I left him so I could only hope he had found some elsewhere. Come Monday morning, I met the Isleta Ranger at the gate and he let me in with my trailer. My plan was to ride out and find the gelding. As I unloaded my horse, the Isleta Ranger said he would drive the fenceline and see what he could find. Just as I was stepping into the saddle, the Isleta Ranger came back and said riding out was not necessary. He had found the bay gelding laying dead along the trail leading to where I had left him food and water. He gave all he had left trying to reach what could have begun to save him. I spent some time with the gelding and, as I stroked his neck, I apologized for the humans who had let him down. I told him that I was sorry that I could not get to him soon enough and I named him Ranger for his preserverance and for the Isleta Ranger who had tried to help. I told him that he would not die in vain or be forgotten. That I would use his name to help others like him and in that moment, with my hand resting on the body of the little bay gelding, on November 10th 2011, Ranger's Legacy Equine Rescue was created.

I got back from picking up feed and running errands late last night. Around 8 p.m. To be fair, I wasn't able to leave the ranch until noon on my way out..

Anyway, the hay trailer is partially unloaded. Sid and Tigger have their 3x3x7, there are two bundles still on the trailer, AND there is a bundle of grass under the tarp that was donated by Roswell Livestock & Farm Supply! A HUGE thank you to them and to all of you! You know who you are!

I will be going back to town towards the end of next week to pick up as many bundles of grass hay ($210 ea) as possible as I am really trying to stock up for the winter.

If you haven't yet, please consider a tax deductible donation towards the feed and care of the horses here at the rescue.

Would you like a little bang for your buck? We have a raffle for a gorgeous, professionally shot, photo print on canvas of a wild stallion that you can attach your donation to if you would like. All proceeds go to the horses here. There are 30 slots at $10 each ( #3 and #15 are taken- I can't seem to add that to the pinned post but the post from yesterday shows the numbers filled). Just make sure to include your number(s) with your donation.

If you are interested, you can find the information for the giveaway pinned to the top of the page.

Thank you in advance and good luck!

Yesterday was a slightly breezy day so, of course, our little devil seeds are blocking the kittens space again. I knew that was going to happen so I fed them behind the old tank and close to the wall where there is a nice, clear path. Today is very calm (so far) so I will be out later to clean up as much of the foxtails as possible.

I am planning a trip to town for feed tomorrow and would like to get as much as possible on my 25' flatbed trailer. Right now, I have enough for 1 3x3x7 grass hay bale ($100), 1 bundle grass hay (21 small bales- $210), 6-50 lb bags Purina Senior (total $42 with my coupons), 3 bales of alfalfa ($14 each), a new tarp to cover the hay ($40+/-), and fuel for the trip. I have room for another 3x3x7 and another couple of bundles.

If you are able, please consider a tax deductible donation towards our feed run tomorrow. No amount is too small and everything helps! The more I can get right now, the less I have to worry about next month or through the winter. Thank you in advance!

As of this morning, we have received $155 since Tuesday towards a feed run. We have 10, 2-strand bales of grass left and 1 bale of alfalfa (which I only feed at night).

I really need your help to make my feed run tomorrow or Saturday. A bundle (21 bales) of grass hay is $210, a bale of Alfalfa is $14 and a 3x3x7 bale is $100. I still have coupons for bagged feed so each 50 lb bag will only cost me $7 at this time.

PLEASE consider a tax deductible donation towards the feeding and care of the horses here at RLER. No amount is too small and every penny counts! Thank you in advance!!

I cleared a lot of where the kittens are and then went and spent the last couple of hours clearing Kuno's kennel. I got two big black yard bags from his space. Then I cleaned him up. He was covered with them. It looks nice for now but Mother Nature isn't done yet. I am sure I will have to be very diligent until these monster seeds are gone.

11/12/2025

Thank you, again, for the great idea Deanna Whitehead! Wetting the seeds down is making for easier and more efficient cleanup. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself.

I will be working on this for the next couple of days (pray the wind stays away) as I have a LOT to clean up.

If you are able, please consider a tax deductible donation for my next feed run on Friday or Saturday. No amount is too small and everything helps! Thank you in advance!

I won't be going to town until Friday or Saturday as I have my hands full trying to get rid of these piles of foxtail grass seeds while the wind is calm. Deanna Whitehead had a great idea that I am going to try. I will let you know how it works out.

In the meantime, if you are able, please consider a tax deductible donation towards the feed run this weekend. A bundle of 21 bales is $210, a bale of Alfalfa is $14, and a 3x3x7 bale of grass is $100. I would be grateful for whatever you can do!
