This beautiful girl is Ivy! Ivy is a 21-year-old Arabian who came to Longmeadow last August from a neglectful situation 💔

Our trainers found that she had previously trained under saddle and has been ridden at a walk and trot in our indoor arena. She has a forward ride and understands neck reining to a degree. She has taken some time to settle into Ranch life and can get a little distracted while working, but Ivy loves having a job. When she does focus on a task, she seems to enjoy the mental work!

Ivy is a part of our senior horse promo, which means her adoption fees are half off. Learn more about her on our website: https://bit.ly/LRRAdoptIvy

Handsome man alert! 🤩

Rooster first came to Longmeadow last October after his owner passed away and family members couldn't care for him. This guy is full of personality! He definitely has more "go" than “whoa” and doesn’t mind taking the occasional speed walk with his handlers while being led. Because of this, we think he would do best with a solid confident, intermediate rider to help him work on his manners.

Rooster is 22 years old and qualifies for our senior horse promotion, so his adoption fees are half off! Learn more about him on our website: https://bit.ly/LRRAdoptRooster 💗

Happy Tuesday from Mable 👋

This pretty 20-year-old Arabian came to Longmeadow in December and is ready to find her forever home! She has had previous training under saddle, and our trainers believe she's full of potential 🤩

Happy from Stoney! 😜

This beautiful quarter horse came to us in May, and we found out she had a progressive dental condition called EOTRH, resulting in the removal of all her incisors. Stoney was a champ through the procedure and a great patient for our staff during the following weeks!

Stoney is a beautiful, silly girl. Because of her teeth (or lack thereof), she constantly has her tongue sticking out! She is always poking her head out of her stall to greet visitors and can't wait to see you when you come visit her 💗

In March, Dawn adopted three goats from the ranch: Figgy Azalea, Ramona and Levi. Just last month, she came back and adopted another goat, Olivia! Olivia and Ramona were best friends at the ranch, and they were thrilled to be reunited 🐐💗

"[Olivia] is doing so well," her mom says. "I can pet her, brush her, and give her little carrot treats. She and Ramona curl up together, and it feels so good to see her truly content. Thank you guys for allowing me to have these adorable sweet lovies."

Meet Rolo, an 11-year-old quarter horse who came to Longmeadow at the beginning of the year. He's sweet like the candy he's named after and enjoys being groomed. Our vet discovered signs of arthritis and navicular in this handsome man, so he is looking for a forever home where he can be a pasture companion or leadline horse.

Rolo tends to be towards the top of the pecking order but gets along well with both mares and geldings. He has good ground manners, but at times he may try and pull away from his handler when he gets nervous. We believe he would do best with an intermediate handler or a beginner who is willing to learn how to handle him.

Visit us at the ranch to meet this sweet guy! 💕

Gertie and Venice found their forever homes! 🦆

These two ducks went to a home with doting kids and another duck friend and are adjusting well to their new digs, according to their new mom 🥰

We love horses, yes we do
We love horses, how 'bout YOU?! 🥰

Today is National I Love Horses Day (AKA the best day ever) and we'd love to take this opportunity to introduce you to 5-year-old Malone, who came to us in 2021. Malone is one of the most personable horses at the ranch and loves to greet our visitors. He ground-drives like a pro and ponies well next to other horses.

Malone was started lightly under saddle at the ranch but had major setbacks that caused him to throw his rider. He is intelligent and learns quickly, but will need a professional trainer’s help overcoming his setbacks before being adopted by an advanced rider.

Our campers this week gifted Tom with a nice handmade card and some special messages inside. We love our farrier!! Couldn’t imagine Longmeadow without him.

07/11/2024

Happy National Farriers Week to our dear friend, Tom! 👏

Tom has been Longmeadow's farrier for more than 20 years. He has spent thousands of hours helping us rehabilitate our equine, and words can't ever fully express our gratitude for all he's done for us ❤️🐴

Let's hear it for Tom!!

Did you know we're continuing our senior horse discount through the summer? Take home a new best friend in their golden years (18+) for half the adoption fee! 🤩

May we recommend the handsome Santiago? This 21-year-old quarter horse first came to the ranch in 2021. We evaluated him under saddle and are very impressed with this handsome gelding. He stands tied and accepts both the saddle and rider. We recommend Santiago as a light riding horse due to his age, conformation, and arthritis. He is ridden regularly at the ranch and enjoys the attention. Santiago would do best with a solid, intermediate rider.

Our sweet barn buddies Snowflake and Domino LOVE their pools, especially in this heat! Well, Domino loves the pool and Snowflake loves WATCHING Domino love the pool. But our pools aren't just used by our farm birds in the warm weather - our piggies love them too!

Looking for a way to help out Longmeadow this summer? We are looking for donated plastic pools for our animals! We do ask that they are new or very gently used. They must be able to hold water - we have MORE than enough with holes in them already! You can thank the pigs... ;)

If you have a pool (or two or three!) that you would like to donate to us, you can contact Linda at [email protected] !

The animals thank you!

Our next spotlight as we near the end of is the birthday girl herself, Chanel!

Little Miss Chanel's story starts with her mother Fendi. Fendi came to us from Benton County. She was one of multiple horses in her group who were covered in burs and suffering from internal and external parasites. After arriving to Longmeadow, Fendi and the rest of her herd were started on our strict refeeding diet (due to their malnourishment) and seen by our veterinarians. Upon a routine pregnancy check, we found that Fendi was pregnant and due within the next few months. Due to their history of neglect, we knew the chances of her giving birth to a healthy foal were slim, so we monitored her closely and hoped for the best.

Then, on a chilly May morning, Fendi gave birth to a foal. To our excitement, the foal (a filly) was healthy and happy! She was named Chanel, and she warmed up to Longmeadow staff within hours of her birth. She did not have much choice, however, since Fendi began to display signs of "foal rejection" after Chanel's birth. Whether it was due to her neglectful history or previous stress, we were unsure. We removed Chanel from Fendi for the safety of both mama and foal and began raising Chanel ourselves, feeding her the necessary milk and supplements she needed at her young age. Thanks to the care of our skilled staff and helpful veterinarians, Chanel grew up a happy and healthy filly. Although she did not have an equine mama taking care of her, she found a mother in all the other Longmeadow animals (and humans) that helped raise her as she grew up at the Ranch.

Now, after a full year (her birthday was May 17th! 🎂) of lots of care and groundwork, Chanel is finally ready for adoption! Her adopter must have previous experience with baby horses, as she is still in her "learning years" and will need an experienced handler to continue her groundwork training. She is halter trained and is working on standing quietly for the farrier. Chanel has TONS of personality and is a joy to be around. She loves any attention from people that she can get and is the first to greet visitors at the fence of her pasture. This girl has a special place in the hearts of our staff, and we can't wait to see where life takes her!
