Our two newest rescues are doing well in quarantine and getting along very well together. It’s always hard for me after we bail them to not have them here right away, but it’s best for them to be stable and a bit stronger before the long trailer ride here.

There’s something in the old man’s eyes that just makes my heart hurt… they look they’ve seen and been through so much. It makes me just want to hug his neck and bury my face into his fur 💔.

Still working on names for these two.. love any and all suggestions you may have!

Thank you again for everyone’s continued support and generosity that allows us to do this work and save these animals ❤️

The senior gelding and grey c**t have been picked up and are at quarantine. I apologize for the delayed update but I have been battling the flu over here 🤒. Will post more updates as they come. Thank you to everyone who helped us in saving them.

Leave name recommendations below!

If you follow our page on Facebook you will recognize this grey c**t because I shared their kill pen video earlier this week. I had assumed that others would bail him, but he is still in there… and even worse, they have just posted that they will be shipping all the horses to slaughter at 10am tomorrow.

I would like to bail him and the adorably sweet senior gelding that is also in the kill pen. Each of their bails are $675 and we will need to raise funds for their shipping and some quarantine as well. I do not have a number yet as to what their shipping will cost, but the unhandled c**t will need a box stall.

Their bail alone is $1,350.00. I will set our fundraiser goal as soon as I have a shipping quote but I didn’t want to wait any longer to start trying to raise funds.

I don’t know if our community will be able to save these two in time, but we’ve worked miracles before 🙏🏼

Please help me to get these horses loaded on a trailer heading to Vermont tomorrow… instead of to their ends 💔

Last week we tragically lost Rosie. I found her peacefully laying in a bed of straw in the barn one morning. There were no signs of distress around her or external injuries. While we will never know exactly what happened, I believe she either had a heart attack or brain aneurism. The rest of the herd is doing well and showing no unusual signs.

It was shocking to find her like that, but also remarkably peaceful at the same time. So often we have to put down horses that are in pain and their bodies are slowly failing them. For Rosie, it looks as if she came into the barn, laid down in a fresh straw bed, and peacefully left this earth.

Rosie played such a monumental role in my understanding of how to care and love rescue horses. She came to us on death’s door, with a one month old baby on her side. And while with us for the last two years, she truly blossomed into a stunning horse. In the beginning, she showed us her strength as a mother, and last summer she showed us her strength as a riding horse. A dependable safe trail horse that truly loved to swim in water.

I don’t know when I will fully process this, but I do feel peace about how she left this world. When I look at Dottie in the pasture I now have a mixture of emotions. I feel a pull on my heart that her mother is gone, and then I also feel an immense amount of responsibility to look out for her for Rosie.

And that’s just what I intend to do…

Running a rescue in Vermont has its challenges, but thanks to we never have to worry about where we will find all of our favorite products. They carry everything we need for our horses, donkeys, goats, ducks, cats, dogs, and even our pig! A one stop shop for everything we need (without having to leave the farm!). And if you know me, you know how much I hate leaving the farm… win/win!

Today Atticus departed on a VERY big adventure. He is on his way to Ocala, FL for the winter with . Sophie is (our trainer) daughter. Sophie has been working under the incredible and we knew this would be an amazing opportunity for our Atticus. ❤️

There is such a stigma attached to the word “rescue”. Most people when they hear a horse is a rescue think, “there must be something wrong with them”, “they should be cheap because they’re a rescue”, “they can’t compete at the levels I want to do”… and it goes on and on.

Many people have been interested in adopting Atticus, but I felt like it was important to me and to the rescue to be a part/ see through the start of his career. To show the world what these horses are capable of and to erase that stigma.

These horses are like my children and they mean so much to me. There are few people in this world I would entrust Atticus with, but Sophie surely is one of them. Like her mother, the horse comes first and the bond she creates with horses is immeasurable. You’ll often find her posting pics ba****ck and bridle-less, and the horses look calm as can be with her on their back.

We are so thrilled for Atticus to go on this adventure to “winter camp” and couldn’t be more ecstatic that he will be learning from and her team.

Have so much fun guys… we will be cheering you on every step of the way up here ❤️

We are getting closer and closer to getting all of us to the new farm, but we need your help for the final push.

We are doing all the labor ourselves to save on costs (like building the run ins, building the stalls, welding the stall bars ourselves, putting in the fencing, running the plumbing… you name it 😅), but we need your help to get the necessary materials to build it all. The giant run in shed is almost complete and yesterday we picked up some stall mats and wood for stall dividers. This is a HUGE undertaking, but we know the end result will be so worth it.

It was hard this year to not save a horse on Christmas like we usually do, but we aren’t in a financial position to help more horses until this project is done.

Which is why I’m asking for you all to consider an end of the year donation to help us build a dream sanctuary for years to come. I hate fundraising, but it’s crucial for us to get these projects paid for and be able to move the horses to the new farm.

Thank you all for your continued support 🙏🏼

Time. Patience. Care. From having to do his hoof care in a round pen because he was unhandled/scared and not wanting to pick up his hooves… to standing like a prince in the grooming stall while having his hind end worked on. Apollo is such a great example of what we are striving to do here… And that’s to Give any horse the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves. With time, patience, and professionals that handle horses with knowledge and care 💙 @michaleenjosephs look at him go 💙💙

If the last clip doesn’t bring you joy… nothing will 💙 Watching the life seep back into Theodore’s old body is nothing short of magical. And it’s that magic that I am fortunate to get to witness that keeps me doing what I’m doing ✨

You can get any and all weather in just one single Vermont spring day 🌱🌞🌧️. A cozy end to the day 🤍

The love I have for this old horse is immeasurable. Alfred came to us broken with nothing behind his eyes but fear. It’s truly remarkable to look back at these photos of him at the auction and know that that is our Alfred. Those once lifeless eyes are now so rich. He is such a wise old soul and it radiates from every movement and action he does. I cant imagine all he has seen in his 27 years… but i sure am glad this will be his final view when the day comes 💙

Can’t forget this new guy too… so excited to see what you become 💙. He still needs a name! Comment suggestions below 💙💙

You’re safe now Theodore… the best is yet to come ❤️🧸 Please consider donating towards Theodore’s medical bills fundraiser ❤️‍🩹

This poor old horse 💔. I have decided to name him Theodore aka “Teddy” because that’s exactly what he is. This horse is a teddy bear 🧸 to his core. He is so incredibly gentle and his eyes are filled with a lifetime of wisdom and pain. Theodore is in rough shape and I am going to start a fundraiser for his medical needs. He’s having issues eating so he will need his teeth done, I would like to do a blood panel on him to see how he’s doing internally, he needs a medical work up, a few rounds of intense deworming, and he needs his shoes to come off asap. The colt also needs to be gelded. I don’t have a list yet of how expensive it will all be, but I am setting our goal at $2,500 for all his medical needs and for the colts as well. I would also like to start Theodore on cosequin and other senior supplements. He will get a medical bath today as well since he has severe rain rot. Trust me when I say this horse DESERVES this. Please please donate If you can to help us help him 🙏🏼 Tax deductible donations can be made through: Venmo: @storeybrookfarm PayPal: @storeybrookfarm Donor box: linked in profile and stories Thank you!

Oh Cedar… so many personalities in that little brain of yours 😂

Winter weather never makes farm life easier, but this storm hit different for me. Our forecast shows that in a few days it will be in the 60s and all the snow will be gone to make room for blooming plants. I love seasons and can’t wait to see this farm come to life after a long winter… which is why I found myself savoring this winter storm even more than usual. It’s most likely our last snowy storm (but honestly who knows if it is) and I woke up in a beautiful winter wonderland. The horses were playing and rolling in the snow, undoubtedly a relief for them since they’ve been baking in their winter coats that have just begun shedding out. And everyone was just… happy. I don’t really know what I’m trying to say besides that I found such bliss in enjoying this moment rather than cursing all the problems that weather like this inevitably brings. So, Live in the moment and appreciate the little things… it truly brings such peace 🤍

Quick trip to visit the bestest boy Atticus! The equestrian world down in florida is an unexplainable beast of it’s own, and one that I cherish immensely for not only how it shaped me as a rider, but for the people it brought into my life. It’s definitely a “pinch me” moment to see one of our rescue horses in that enviroment. I am so proud of this horse and so thankful for all the people in his corner making this dream a reality. Special shoutout to @sophietullar and @_miafarley for teaching him some new skills. And of course Phelps for showing Atticus that anything is possible ❤️

I don’t even know where to start with this post. If you are a Patreon follower, than you are already aware of this, but for everyone else, it is time for me to share some disheartening news. On January 24th of this year, we were contacted by an amazing person to notify us that a “digital creator” had created a FAKE page pretending to be us. This good person spends their time helping organizations like ours to fight fake scammers. This scamming page has been stealing our content and reposting it as their own. Sharing videos of horses that have passed away long ago, but using the content to gain followers and momentum. They are pretending to be US and even have written in their bio that they are a 501c3 non-profit and have a linked Venmo with the name storeybrook-farm to get donations. They have stolen our stories, our content, our hard work.. all to gain followers and pocket donations. I find that I convey my feelings best through written words, but this whole experience has left me utterly unable to convey how I am feeling. Anger is the first wave that I feel, betrayal the next, sorrow… and on and on. This work that we do is never-ending.. every part of my life is woven into the fabrics that make up this rescue. There is never enough time and there is NEVER enough money. To find out that someone is not only stealing your content that I have worked so hard on, but also pocketing donations that we so desperately need to keep us going… well it is just gutting. And don’t even get me started about the emotions behind seeing this person posting videos of Storey on their page. This post is a cry for help. Please Please Please go to their page on Facebook, Storeybrook.Farm , and report them. Also PLEASE follow US, Storeybrook Farm, on Facebook if you don’t already. This scam account is now larger than our real page. I wish I had happier news to share, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that this just feels like such a
