Thankful this Thursday for Wyatt, one of our wonderful volunteers!

He knows how to do everything! During the move, we couldn’t have completed it without him. He moved the horse trailer, the boat, various loads of stuff and now he is fixing the plumbing 👏👏👏

Thank you, Wyatt, for all your TREMENDOUS hard work with Pattie’s Ranch, home of Save The Animals Today!

Friendship knows no height difference!

When two horses like Emphatic and Beau hug each other, this is a sign that they are communicating their affection for one another. They are comfortable and like each other!

To our new followers,

Meet Emphatic! Emphatic is a 15 year old chestnut gelding on Pattie's Ranch! Geldings are male horses that have been neutered. Most of our horses on Pattie's Ranch are geldings!

Some interesting facts about Emphatic:
🧡 Emphatic was an off-the-racetrack thoroughbred
🧡 He sold for $350,000 as a yearling colt back in the day. In fact, he ran a couple of times! Unfortunately, he did get hurt and needed to retire...which is how he came to be at Pattie's Ranch, home of Save The Animals Today 🙌
🧡 Emphatic likes to kick up his heels, so it is important to have gentle movements when you are around him!

We love sharing these wonderful facts about our animals with you all!

For today, we thought that we would review the steps on how to give one of our horses at Pattie's Ranch a hug 🙌
🧡 Start off by giving them plenty of space. You want the horse to come to you!
🧡 Make sure that you are standing in an area that is in the horse's field of vision! The best place to be is on one of their sides especially since they have two blind spots -- behind them and directly in front of their head.
🧡 Call out their name!
🧡 Now, let them walk over until they are right in front of you.
🧡 Once they are right in front of you, hold out your hand for them to sniff and touch
🧡 Once you both have made contact, SLOWLY approach the horse's side and put your arms around them 😊

You will know that they are hugging you because they will rest their head on your shoulder 🥰

This is a really clever way to connect with your emotions and learn to regulate them not just for yourself but with your loved ones as well! We call it 🥕Carrot Therapy🥕
