EDIT TO ADD: we have an anonymous donor who will match up to $200!
Rudy on 12-6-25 (arrival) and 12-18-25
THIS difference was achieved in just 12 days. 12 days of feed on a regular basis. 12 days of the right type of groceries to help Rudy not just maintain his body condition (as was being done previously) but to help him start to gain the needed weight to eventually get him healthy again.
Of course, his complete transformation will take much longer than 12 days but, when you CAN see a difference like this in just 12 days, and you know the background of his most recent life, the condition he arrived in tells a story of ignorance rather than purposeful neglect. We know his people loved him and we know they had information that they were trying to feed him by, but it doesn't appear to have been exactly what he needed. We listened to what they were feeding and made changes that we thought would work and, I believe, these photos are proof that our feeding regime is working.
BUT, we cannot do this without you. We NEED your help to continue to care for Rudy and the others here at the rescue. This month has been the WORST December we have ever had in terms of donations in 14 years. I need to go get more Senior feed tomorrow and I barely have the needed funds to accomplish three bags ($79.35- which will last us about 5 days). I also need to pick up another 3x3x7 bale of grass ($100) and another bundle of 21 bales of grass hay ($210). I DO NOT have the money for any of the hay not to mention fuel.
I realize that this is the Holiday Season and that times are tough for everyone, but we CANNOT continue if we cannot feed the horses. I know I have said this before and we have been able to continue because of YOU. So, here we are again. I have $187 in the business account. As I said. This is the WORST December for donations that we have ever had. I believe part of the reason is FB not letting you see us when we don't use their fundraising button.
Please consider a year end gift to the horses feed and care here at Ranger's Legacy Equine Rescue. $5, $10, or even $20 will help to make a difference. Since FB's algorithm is doing it's very best to keep us hidden every time we ask for help, I will put the different ways to donate in the comments. We will see if that helps to get us seen.
WE CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!
