RLER is a non profit IRS 501(c)3 organization EIN #32-0357825 . PayPal: [email protected] Each horse will have an adoption fee and a contract.
(32)

A rescue facility for starved, misunderstood, abused, neglected, abandoned or unwanted horses--ADOPTION POLICY---- It is our policy to attempt to place each horse in a home best suited to the individual horse. In addition, horses adopted from Ranger's Legacy Equine Rescue (RLER) cannot be resold, given away or relocated from the original, approved facility without the permission of RLER. Adoption

fees are based upon the horse's age, temperament, registration, whether or not the horse is trained to ride and the care and treatment that went into each horse. Upon final adoption of a horse, the adopter is responsible for the transportation arrangements from the RLER facility to the adopter's facility in a manner acceptable to RLER. In the event that the placement does not work out for any reason, or the adopter is unable or unwilling to care for the adopted horse, RLER requires that the horse be returned to RLER. The horse will be transferred to RLER without charge or liability for expenses incurred by the adopter. RLER reserves the right to have one of their agents conduct follow-up checks on the adopted horse and facility with 24 hour notice and at RLER's discretion. Upon placement of a horse, the adopter is required to submit to RLER, an annual health statement from the adopter's veterinarian and farrier. Please note that RLER reserves the right to deny adoption for any reason in its sole discretion, and is not obligated to state any reason for such denial.

This is from last night. All of the family in this little nest. This is the pair's second brood. One of the parents is on the left.

With the excitement of the perimeter fence getting started, I almost forgot to tell you....
Aslan is going to his new home this Saturday!

08/15/2024

The fence crew was here before I got up this morning. 😊 Today is a short day as they head home for the weekend (they live in camper trailers during the week) but they will be back on Monday. My mind is filled with all of the things I will finally be able to accomplish now that running cows off and fixing what they have damaged will soon be a thing of the past. 💕

***Here, Alejo is pounding in steel support posts.***

Beautiful sky this evening. The white dot in the middle is the moon.

08/14/2024

Guess what? See those four posts in the short brown grass area? Those are corner and support posts.... The fence crew is here and working on our perimeter fence!!! Today and tomorrow they are setting braces, corner posts, and gate posts and possibly t-posts. Then they will be back next week to finish stringing the wire. I am so excited and grateful!! More pictures coming!

08/14/2024

Up bright and early to get morning chores done so I can head into town for an appointment with Aslan's prospective adopter.

08/14/2024

I will be heading into town in the morning to do a home check for Aslan's prospective new home. 😊

08/13/2024

With as hot as it has been, I top off/ fill water tanks every two days. I clean tanks whenever it's necessary. I use a little bit of bleach in the water and that prohibits algae from growing so they don't need to be cleaned that often.

08/13/2024

Got home this evening just ahead of a thunderstorm. We really did not get much rain but we got the thunder and lightning.

08/12/2024

Doing morning chores and then heading to town for errands. If anyone would like to help out with a bag of Purina Equine Senior, a 50 lb bag is $26.49. I am picking up a few bales of Alfalfa (just taking the truck today) as well for $15 a bale. Our financial app information is in the comments.

Thank you and have a great day!!

08/12/2024

Had a little bit of rain today. Just enough to cool the air!

08/11/2024

Phoenix's new pen is finally done!

08/11/2024

Good morning! Yesterday was a tough day as we got into triple digits again (still) which makes it extremely difficult to do any type of work outside. So I've got all my house chores done and I'm heading out to do outside chores and I'm hoping I can beat the heat and get that gate in for that shed pen we just built.

08/10/2024

Sally says good morning!

08/10/2024

Power went out for a couple of hours tonight and I got sidetracked. I meant to post this photo much earlier. 😊

08/09/2024

Phoenix is almost to his healthy weight!

08/09/2024

Got a lot done so far! Becky helped me get the second shelter pen up and put a big bale of grass in. I just have to finish driving t-posts and put the gate up. We have it secured so the cattle can't get to the hay but it's not quite ready for horse occupation yet. We also left another big bale of grass in the pasture with the boys and put one in R***r's pen.

08/09/2024

Hoping to get some outside work done this morning before the heat kicks in..

08/08/2024

Just had the biggest "dirt devil" come through that I have ever seen here...

08/08/2024

Nick, the ranch dog, getting a drink. He will one day graduate from the bucket to the trough. Lol

08/07/2024

I was told today, a horse we adopted out a little over 2 years ago, has passed away. Jack's owner came home from work last Thursday and found him down and unable to rise. The vet was called out and decided the most humane thing for him was to help him over the rainbow bridge. They believe it was a combination of age and heat. R.I.P Jack. You were loved.

**This picture is from when he first arrived here in April of '21**

Bad angle but Ricochet is looking good as well. A deworming and some extra cool calories helps a lot in this heat! If anybody is looking for a companion horse, Ricochet is your guy! He is an in your pocket kind of pasture pet. He loves attention, is easy to handle and gets a long in a herd. He IS broke to ride but an old leg injury (he is not lame-he has all of his weight on his injured back leg in this picture) says riding would be best left off the table. He is easy to catch, lead, load, tie, and rides in a trailer nicely. Ricochet is a 23 year old, 16 hand, Bay TB gelding who does take Senior feed to maintain his weight. He is UTD on farrier work, deworming, vaccines, and Coggins. His adoption fee is $600 and requires a contract. If you are interested in Ricochet, please PM us.

08/07/2024

Today was a cool enough day (high 90's with a slight breeze but no triple digits) that I was finally able to finish the dirt work on the open side of the shed. I am hoping we can get the rest of the panels up tomorrow so I can move Phoenix into his new corral.

08/06/2024

As I had posted a few weeks back, R***r had lost some weight recently so I dewormed him, started him on Purina Equine Senior (cold calories with high fat content) and added some Alfalfa to his diet. Look at him now! He still needs to gain a bit more but we can start working with him again . Hopefully, he will be ready for adoption soon.

08/05/2024

Yesterday got away from me so I was not able to put the round bale out in the pasture till this morning. But I fed the boys a small bale last night and obviously it was good enough that it filled them up as there's still some of it left. I'm sure that will be cleaned up sometime today. 🙂

Aslan came back to the rescue this morning. Hannah had adopted him and took him to the ranch she worked on but, yesterday, she was told the owner does not want non-ranch working horses using up his pen space. So she had no choice but to return him. It was very hard for her.

The silver lining to this bump in the road is we had someone come to meet Buttercup today. Buttercup was not a match but, they met and rode Aslan and they were very comfortable and happy with him. They have headed home to discuss the possibilities. If they do not choose Aslan, he will be posted for adoption. 🙂

08/03/2024

We are loaded and getting ready to head back to the ranch! A big, huge thank you once again to all of you who helped us with this feed run!

08/03/2024

On our way to town to pick up hay! I was going to leave much earlier but we had a bit of a setback this morning. One of Charlie's cows finally got into the pasture with Roscoe and the boys and no matter what I did she didn't want to get out. It took both Becky and I with my truck and my dog to get her out and then I had to fix fence. So we're a little behind but we're on our way!

08/03/2024

I am shouting out a HUGE THANK YOU to all of you who were so generous and supportive of us today! You all really came through! I will be heading into town tomorrow and I am going to FILL the hay trailer! I may even be able to make a second trip! I cannot thank you enough! I started this day under a lot of pressure and I am ending this day feeling better than I have in a while. I still don't have hot water and I still haven't been able to fix the clog in the pipes in my bathroom but at this point I don't care. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!💕

P.S this was the sky while I was feeding this evening. It was hard to catch the lightning but I managed.

Just had the biggest "dirt devil" come through that I have ever seen here...

When I was going to town the other day, I saw this very young antelope all by himself. He had actually gone down the middle of the road ahead of me for about a mile before I started filming. He was obviously lost as he even started to walk towards me at one point. I sure hope he found his herd. 🤞♥️ ** Sorry for the sky part. My screen was dark because of the sun**

Becky has been working with Phoenix lately. He still has a little ways to go on his weight, but, after almost ten years of not being ridden, he is doing really well for only the second time Becky has been on his back. Because of the amount of time he has been a pasture pet, we decided on a refresher course to get him back in the swing of things. He is coming around pretty fast. The first time she rode him, he did not want to stand still for mounting and I had to hold him. This time, he was a statue for her. 😊

We are getting rain and thunder boomers. The wind is not making it easy to hear the thunder though. If you look on the horizon where it looks "misty," that is the rain coming down really hard. So far, that part is passing us to the North...

More. Rain.

We got some quick, crazy rain at feeding time this evening. I had to sit in the truck til it passed.

I was standing on my back porch last night listening to the frogs after that crazy rain. Listen with me for a moment. It is very soothing.

Becky also rode Bean bareback yesterday. He seemed a little unsure and hesitant so I don't think he's ever been ridden bareback before. But he behaved really, really well. He just needs some practice being ridden bareback to get more comfortable. As I said yesterday we do have somebody coming to meet Bean but we are accepting other applications in case he does not meet their needs. If you are interested in adopting Bean, please contact us.

Becky rode Bean today and he did fantastic. We know it has been a few years since he has been ridden but, although he was a little rusty, he was very willing. She even rode him bareback. Please excuse the speed of the video. I accidentally recorded it in time lapse 🤦 and this is as much as I could slow it down. Bean has a potential adopter coming to meet him, but we are accepting other applications in case he doesn't meet their needs. Contact us if you are interested.

Kuno is stiff and sore and has some swelling and we can see where he was bitten but he's really doing a lot better than expected. He may have built up some sort of immunity from both the vaccine and the previous rattlesnake bite. Don't mind the tarp on the ground I just replaced his old one. By the way, when I say I'm going to go shoot a cow in the video I'm talking about with a BB gun. LOL Thanks to some donations, we have enough to get one, 100 ft roll of the wire mesh but we still need help for a second roll. If you could please help us we would really appreciate it! Our financial app information is in the comments.

So it's windy again today but I guess I can't really complain because THIS is what my daughter is dealing with in Colorado right now. They had snow last Sunday, then they had torrential rains last night, and now they have snow again....

Phoenix feeling his oats today. This is the first time since his arrival that he has displayed any joy. He probably hasn't felt this good or had the muscle for moving like this in quite some time. He looks like he is just trying all his limbs out and isn't sure how far he can go. 🤗

Beautiful blue skies after the rain today. Unfortunately we now have wind. 🤦

Cooper

Little Cooper Pooper has lost a few pounds so we are pulling him out separate to give him some extra snacks. Jubilee wasn’t happy about it😂

Our neighbor moving some of his cattle into another pasture today. All I can say is, more power to him and his helpers for braving the bitter cold wind! (You hear the heater running along with the wind. I was filming from my doorway cause I was too chicken to leave the warmth of my home🤣)

Good morning! Colorado is experiencing some heavy snowfall in the Castle Rock and Denver area and we are supposed to get the fallout in the next few days. But this is what we have now. 😊

Coming back from our training ride today, we had a herd of Pronghorn Antelope race across the road in front of us. It really is quite remarkable (and sad in a way)how they live their lives fast forward all the time.

Our neighbor, Charlie, is burning his pasture behind my house. He called me this morning and let me know that is what he would be doing which was very thoughtful. It isn't as hot and the flames aren't as high as they were the last time he burned two years ago. He has several people helping him as well.
