Beautiful Dahteste is HOME ... She made it to Colorado and will spend some time with her new bay buddy in the corrals then will be released.

The struggles this mare had to go thru to get her Freedom back are unreal
& minimal compared to a lot of them.

But -- Please continue to help, pray and advocate for our Wild horses!!! We must do better 🐴

ISO Volunteer Board members for growing Non- Profit Horse rescue & Sanctuary... 🐴🐴🐴

All friends: I am helping Salvation Wild Mustang Sanctuary corp grow its team ... We need your help!

We are looking for NEW players to help
us grow.
These are VOLUNTEER positions and do require some of your time but mostly your talent & ideas.

Ideally , Board members have a love for rescue mustangs &
burros and a desire to help
make things right for them. This means a broad spectrum of " things" .. From
Social media help, Business help, farm
help, adoption help , Advocacy help and more .

In a perfect world : We would love to bring on team members with the following backgrounds 💪

Do you have brilliant ideas involving social media platforms?? Can you navigate FB, IG, TT, X and whatever else is out there?

Do you have a background in navigating taxes, bookkeeping or managing a business or similar?

Do you have grass roots farm or ranch experience and can offer a few days a month doing basic animal or farm care?

Are you a talented photographer that needs to build a portfolio?

Do you know anything about grant writing? Fund raising or non- profits in general?

Are you talented writer who can spearhead a letter writing campaigns?

Are you a youth advocate, coach type or teacher who wants to help develop our youth programs by helping us reach appropriate community programs?

Are you in the Veterniary, Animal
Science or Biology fields?

Are you in the construction feild and can you fix stuff , build stuff or at least help visualize it to others?

Are you involved in organizing community service hours to those who may need that?

Almost ALL of our needs can be met via On line or on the phone ... A few roles need to be local to Meeker, OK as they are more " hands on" , But most are able to be done remotely - Many of these roles are consultant type roles to help US navigate these things .
All of these roles are going to
be " new" & and are duties we would like to delegate out that we are currently doing ourselves..

If you think you might have an interest in something like this . please let us know or pm me or Sally ( Tagged above ) and we will send more details after the holidays ..

Again these are Volunteer roles and require a few hours a week .. Mostly messenger chats , texts or phone calls ..

Thank you AWHC ♥️♥️

I Decided today I had 5 minutes
to UPDATE on some farm happenings : Hold on to your hats -as this is alot. But not nearly ALL - just what I can remember at this moment 🤣

The farm is FULL & Busy ( as usual) 😜😜😜

Over the past few months - We have been investing in OUR farm and OUR operation - and we are working towards personal goals like clearing pastures and building permanent structures.. This includes income generating areas and areas where I can teach, train and host youth events for my community. ( 2025 should be busy 😜😜😜) I've not been excited in a while - so this is a good thing . 😀😀

Some things were doing :

We recently bought a larger trailer . ( a 20 ft Stock type GN) & Robert has been hauling horses for the past few months and WE ARE available to move your horse, cow , killpen rescue or show horse . We offer slight discounts but with the costs of fuel, tires, maintenance and our TIME - we can only offer so much ... But This is a way we are paying for our rescues- so consider us when you need something hauled . ( We're trying to earn funds not just just raise them)

We are currently re-modeling a second GN trailer ( that we got at a steal) - a 4 hr Slant-enclosed trailer - designed for a different " type" of client who is not interested in a stock type. ( Its not finished yet - but in progress) But its going to be fabulous in the near future. Hopefully we can put it to use .. 🤷‍♀️ Fingers crossed 🤞

We have recently taken on a few larger " clients" - for horses that will head to re-wilding programs in the spring. These horses are WILD and this is very different for me as My brain is all about gentling and caring for them.. BUT - Im learning to have a strong ability to have a professional opinion AND a personal
opinion . ( Im Also learning that its ok for those to be different)

I have had a few " training" clients recently and I miss this part of my life . I am only doing basic ground work and gentling as Time and weather are never my friend .. I don't have the velcro butt riders on my team that I used to have - So that part is modified for sure. But first touches and starting unhandled is what I love ♥️

I have decreased my "personal" rescue numbers to a much lower number as The herd responsibilities added on US by others has Doubled .. So while I have a few that I fund & care for ( Along with my personal crew) - I just can't juggle much more So While RJF Equine has some we take in But most are for other organizations.

New to me guys this year are Doobie, Opal, Jack and a fuzzy mini mule named Jim Bob . I still have Wild ones Maggie Mae, Willow ( from Florida ) & Bristol and these girls will likely go to a large re-wilding situation in the spring.

Sadly, We've lost a few, The beautiful red TB mare - Scarlett - That was so incredibly damaged lame ( significantly rotated ) And Despite my heart desire to rehab her and find her a great H/J type home. She just couldn't Walk and she was just not able to be rehabbed.

We've lost a few client rescue horses and sent a few to rescue organizations & new homes to have their happily ever after ... We've been lucky to
find a few new client "friends " and have also been able to enjoy a herd of Draft horses for a short time ♥️ ( and Opal is still with me )

We have grand plans for 2025 and are working towards making our ranch
" sustainable" and "self funded" . We all know that most rescues implode after some time because they can't keep up with the need. Our world is changing and donations are at a all time low - so being self funded is vital
to long term success. Stay tuned 🐴🐴🐴

I do hope to host a mustang challenge in the spring as well and hope to get several horses placed for other groups.

I also have found a fantastic barn assistant who has been covering sundays for a few weeks now - so Im finally able to catch my breathe for a minute . And she rides - so maybe soon we'll have some broke horses out there 🤷‍♀️

Anyway.. We are blessed with work and good clients and great family & friends.
Tax deductible donations ARE still being accepted for 2024 and would be humbly accepted.

Keep us in mind for Hauling, QT or adoptions .. We can likely help ♥️

One of our very special " clients" -- We are so thankful for the opportunity to help this girl ♥️

Dahteste update!

Dahteste continues to improve and has gained some weight and is more relaxed in her environment at RJF Equine, Inc in Oklahoma. She is in the good care of Jennie and Robert at their mustang rehab facility. Dahteste will have a vet visit soon where she will receive her Coggins and vaccines, and a badly needed hoof trim, in preparation for transport and intake at the Wild The Wild Horse Refuge in NW Colorado.

Who knows what Dahteste has gone through before she ended up in the kill pen with threats of shipping imminent. She is very deserving of being saved from the miserable situation she ended up in. Thank you to all who donated towards her new life, you made it possible! Thank you all for your support of this special mare.

Red Roan Mustang Gelding, Titled-- Recovering from an injury .

11/15/2024

Friends of the farm :

It is now that time .. The Temps in Oklahoma are dropping and the calorie intake is INCREASING ..
Many of our herds ONLY eat forage ( Bermuda and Alfalfa) and this means that our ( Salvation Wild Mustang Sanctuary and the RJF Equine, Inc horses) need more . Yes more ...

As of now - Sally fundraises for her herds- But On my end - Robert Sloan & I hustle and do not have the reach that the Sanctuary has. He's hauling horses all over , Im quarantining & boarding and offering basic gentling training for as many as I have time and energy for . ♥️♥️We are doing what is necessary to
create a safe place for Our herds and the herds of others .. These Extra services are what FEED our horses .

Winter is HARD.

We have gone through TWO local hay suppliers ( We bought and FED- all they had) The Salvation herds EAT 15 + 900 lb rolls every 7-10 days ( Depending on temps ) The RJF herds ( my numbers are significantly lower ) eat 5-7 rolls a week .

We also are beginning to add Alfalfa to the diets as it adds extra calories and heat .

One Hay roll is 50$ - one Alfalfa block is 140$ and One small Alfalfa bale is 18$

Salvation has a hay shed that is about 1/2 full and I have about a week of Hay stashed for winter temps .. BUT with that being said -- BOTH of us could use a little help .

Donations humbly accepted .

RJF Equine is a 501(c)3 Non- Profit and your donation is tax deductible..

Did you know that a horse with a moderate hair coat starts requiring additional calories for body temperature regulation when the outside temperature drops to approximately 50°F?

As the temperatures start to drop, especially overnight, it's important to remember that cold weather prompts special considerations for your horse's diet and care. This is particularly important when it comes to the older members of the herd; consult your primary horse doctor to formulate a plan to keep your horses happy and healthy this fall and winter!

Are you interested in adopting a Mustang but not sure a " wild one" is the right fit?
Are you interested in a rescue horse - but not sure you can navigate the health, training and travel
logistics??

Well - We can help..

Our Farm is overflowing with NICE horses that need homes.. Real
homes where adopters are willing to work at making a great partnership .. Not just 5 rides then post them
for sale because they are not loping circles in a " frame😂"
Nope - not here . We are only looking for dedicated adopters willing to
try hard .. and be patient with " the process" .

But theres a catch . ( Yes there is always a catch)

Kill pen horses can be different.. 🤷‍♀️

Meaning - some have baggage ( which one of us does NOT have baggage)

Mostly limited training or behavioral because of horrible training .. a few have medical things - but most just need fair and kind handling.

So - your not a trainer .. Thats ok .. We can fix that too .. If your open to learning.. I can teach you 💙 We can
work them thru whatever their " thing"
is.

Lets think about this ...

Most " high end " horses ( or even moderately priced horses) have had the benefit of having a skilled horseman in their lives from the day they were born.. Great vets, Great farriers, Great access to nutrition and quality Hay, kind families , fair trainers ..
That means hundreds of hours and dollars to make things right.
Our mustangs were NOT offered that same benefit.. They were not given even half of those things 😫

There is no reason we can not " make" you a fabulous partner ... And its not near as complicated as it seems.

What we CAN do is this :

We can pick a horse who has the desire to be with people- This is the biggest part with the success of gentling . ( we have tons currently) ..
then --->>>>
We bring them up and get their medical
evaluated & farrier care so your confident your getting a sound animal ... ( check off that box)

then ---->>>>
We ( both you and me ) begin the gentling or refreshing training process ... ( depending what your particular horse " needs" )

Then WE do the work . ( YES - There is work involved with horses 😜😜😜) You can dedicate as much or as little time into this horse as you like .. Ideally at least 3 days a week .. less time takes longer - more time is quicker .. But MY goal is not " quick" - my goal fair, kind and correct ..

After that ---->>>

We plan for you to bring your horse home or transfer to a finishing trainer once THEY are ready .. This might be one month or 6 months , The horse dictates this timeline - along with your schedule and life .. ( we all know life happens and I am in NO Rush ) - I want you both to be in a great place before leaving ..

So - does this sound too good to be true? Its not ..
Ive done it too many times to count and now I'm ready to share this with you .

Yes - There are " fees" involved. ( Adoption , Boarding, Vet , Transport if needed etc) - But Making your horse great - is well worth it in my book!

So - If you'd like to give it a whirl.. Send me a PM and lets meet up and let you meet some horses.

Photos are of just a few of the many horses that we have available .. Please message us FMI on any one particular animal .
