Trying to get weight off of Maleficent is a struggle. A misdiagnosed pregnancy by the vet lead to creating a bigger problem of metabolic issues and laminitis. Now that she is no longer crippled, I’m hoping to get her moving more to help with that belly 😞 She is a bit happier these days being with the big herd. This is going to be a long process but she is worth every moment 🥰
I don’t really have the words.
Lemmy Lou, I’m gonna miss you girl. I can’t wait to hear about and see all of your new adventures with your new mom. I’ve turned quite a few people away but when I met her new mama, I knew it was meant to be 🥰
Maleficent has joined the herd.
She’s been having some aggression issues lately and I’m hoping being with more friends will help curb that
I know she’s been a mess for the last year but I’m hoping that being a part of the herd will help her breathe a little better
Brekky time is her fave 💛
Lemmy is progressing beautifully 🍋🥰
Nova, well let’s just say she’s starting to process some feelings she’s been struggling with.
A shut down horse is a dangerous horse. She is still a very sweet lady, but the more comfortable she becomes the more issues we will begin to see. This is completely normal. She just needs to understand that she can express herself but she needs to do it safely.
This is why I give them a decompression period. They need to be able to feel safe and know nothing will be asked of them so that they can start to work through their trauma.
This is also why it’s so important to research your local rescues. If they are just putting a few pounds on and then sending them on their way, they are not doing anyone any favors. They are most likely sending that horse back out to a world of constant rehoming because the trauma and behaviors were never addressed. Not to mention the risk of injury to the new family.
Do your research, ask questions, visit the facility or volunteer.
We need to do better
Thank you Alex for all of your help with these two
I think Cody and Nova are my new favorite love story 🥰
Oh Lemmy, you have such a special place in my heart 🍋💛
I got another horse
Checks DMs/texts
“Another one?!”
“Girl you need to stop already”
“I can’t believe you took another one in”
“Why take in more horses if you can’t afford it and then ask for donations”
“If you’re gonna do this at least take in ones that you can make money off of”
I don’t do this for money.
I do this for my heart. I do this for their heart.
They all get a second chance at life whether it’s with a new home or with me until they are ready to cross over into the next world.
I’ve been told I have a savior complex. Maybe I do, but that’s because no one saved me when I needed it.
So yes, I got another horse
Wind + Horses = pure chaos 😂 Lemmy is feelin good and showing these ponies how fast she really is 🥰🏇
It’s official! The girls are roomies now 👯♀️
I may have ugly cried making this video. First there was her mama Aurora. Then Fauna, Apache and now Lemmy. It makes my heart so happy that she has found that love again 🥰
