While young healthy horses don’t need blankets, they do cut down own hay consumption due to not needing to eat to stay warm. They are also necessary for seniors, and horses that don’t grow great winter coats (like my OTTBs). We personally blanket when it’s less than 30 degrees and double blanket in the single digits.

Wow what a Christmas Blessing the last few days have been! 🎄🎅🏻♥️

First off is a Mini update 🖤🤍🎄- we were able to determine the the issue was in her shoulder, likely from a fall or being kicked by another horse, and then it never healed correctly. She will always have a hitch in her giddyup, and only ever be light riding sound at best, but is happy and healthy in every other way. The first Christmas miracle came from Jasmine’s adopters, a lovely family with three little ones who were looking for a companion for Jazzy and decided to adopt mini! We delivered them this week and they are getting along perfectly in their beautiful new home! Such a blessing for the sweet mares that have been through so much in their lives! 🩷🖤🤍

The second Christmas surprise was for Sharkey! Hankey the mule’s adopters had seen him come off the trailer and had been in love ever since. This is the perfect home for Sharkey as he needs to live in a bachelor/ gelding herd with his buddies due to being gelded late in life! We are so thrilled for him and excited to get updates!! 🖤🤍🖤🎄

Last but definitely not least, Thank you so much for all of the donations and especially a very generous donation from the Hand Forward Foundation and a private doner. These donations allow for us to rescue and care for the horses like Mini and get them into forever safe homes like these ones and we are so grateful. We could not do this without your support, so, thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🙏🏻 ♥️🎄

Everyone, Meet Mini! 🖤🤍 She is a super sweet Gypsy Vanner cross mare that we were able to rescue from the latest auction with our rescue funds raised. When we saw her, something about her screamed out to me to help her. She was in a cattle shoot for over 12 hours that day. Unable to turn, move, no food or water, literally penned in with the others.

She didn’t go through the auction ring until about 1:30 AM in the morning and like most drafts, the kill pen folks and horse traders were all over her. When we went to go load her, she did not want to step up onto the trailer and we literally had to lift her in to get her to load, she just stood there stoically looking very sad.

She has just completed her quarantine and upon further inspection, she has something strange going on with her right shoulder. There is significant muscle wastage on the right side and buildup on the left side, indicating some kind of injury at some point and likely she has been bearing more weight on her left front for some time. We have the veterinary team from Christian County Vets coming out this afternoon to hopefully do an x-ray of the shoulder to make sure there are no fractures and then make a course of action for her future.

Right now she will walk on it, but kind of swings it awkwardly like there is some sort of muscle interaction or weird healing process that went unattended.

Praying that there’s nothing serious in there and that we can get a clear image of her shoulder as that can often be difficult with x-ray as there is a lot of tissue to get through.

If you would consider donating towards her care, it will go directly towards her veterinary expenses. She is incredibly sweet and super deserving and I’m so glad we were able to get her out of that auction hell hole! 🤍🖤🤍

We can only take on rehab cases with donations and the support of our amazing horse community. ❤️‍🩹

Sharkey has been adopted!!🦈♥️

Jockey Club's: Benny The Shark
February 16, 2012
16.2hh
Florida Bred Thoroughbred Gelding
Benny the Bull and Mr. Prospector Bloodlines!

All info and videos can be found here: https://www.secondsunriserescue.com/sharkey.html

Sharkey is a gorgeous sport horse gelding who was surrendered to our rescue by her breeder.
Sharkey never raced, probably because he's so sweet and a little lazy!
While he wasn't the best racehorse he has fantastic bloodlines.
Sharkey is currently in our professional training program.
Sharkey is a lovely example of a sport horse gelding who could go in many directions.
He is a big presence but is very respectful and sweet. He's a gentle giant mentality.
He is always a chill potato and has a super sweet gentleman.
He is the kind of horse you can pull out of the pasture and doesn't matter when you last rode him he's always sensible.
He's never offered a buck or anything remotely naughty ever.
He stands tied beautifully and is great for grooming, tacking, and with his feet.
We think he would excel in English or Western, can be ridden ba****ck, bitless, and a trail horse.
He's super steady and not spooky at all and loves trails.
He was kept as a stallion till this year where our team had him gelded as a 12 year old.
His one catch is that he still exhibits stud like behavior around mares so needs to be housed separately from mares.
He will run through fencing to get to mares if they are not solid.
He stands perfectly to be mounted and is well balanced under saddle.
He has been ridden in an indoor and outdoor larger arenas and out on trails alone.
He is very light in the bridle and his face and does well being ridden bitless or with a bridle.
He is currently in front shoes as he has thin soles so those or boots would be recommended.
He does not have any stable vices and loves coming inside in front of his fan in the summer.
He's not a big fan of bugs but we put a fly sheet on him and/or brought him inside and he did great.
He retired sound and has no history or lameness and does not require any maintenance.
He does seem to be prone to stocking up if left in a stall for longer periods of time.
Pasture or adequate turnout time is best for him.
Each time you ride him he improves and goes into a lovely frame.
He does well on an all forage based diet and is currently getting all alfalfa hay and 6lbs of Purina grain/day.
He loads well in a straight load ramp and slant load step up trailer with minimal encouragement.
He is up to date on wormer, Coggins, vaccinations, and farrier care.
Sharkey is just the sweetest soul and anyone would be lucky to call him theirs!

All Rowley Rescue Ranch horses come with a 60 Day Trial Period to ensure the perfect match!

Thank you everyone, Jasmine has been adopted!!

Boopers - Available for Adoption!

2 years and 4 months old
Draft Cross Gelding
Currently measures 14.3hh Should finish out to be 15.2hh

Videos and info can be found here: https://www.secondsunriserescue.com/boopers.html

Boopers is such a love bug!
He was an owner surrender who originally wound up with a herd at the Stroud Oklahoma Kill pen.
From there he was purchased by a family who also took a filly and then they sold him to a friend of the rescue's.
The friend didn't bond well with Boopers at the time but did with the filly so we took on Boopers.
Originally he wasn't halter broke and and he had to live in the round-pen for a month before we could touch him.
He got his name as he would always like to sniff or "boop" your hand before letting you move further with petting.
He has been through extensive groundwork training and joins up and does liberty work well.
He will go over trot poles and has worn a saddle pad and ba****ck pad with cinch.
He has a clam and quiet demeanor and is not spooky.
He acts like a true draft cross but has more of the draft side of the brain when working.
He has had his feet trimmed three times with the farrier and has a good solid foot to him.
He has never tried to do anything remotely mean and is a very sweet soul.
He needs someone who is going to finish out his training but give him the space he needs to flourish.
He has been on 6 trailer rides and loads up with ease.
We think with his conformation he would excel as a rope horse, pickup horse, English hunter/Jumper, Fox Hunter, pleasure horse.
He can be kept in a stall or out with other geldings and mares and gets along with everyone.
He's not the bottom of the pack but is not aggressive in any way so is more of the middle.
He's a very easy keeper and just gets grass hay in a slow feed hay net and that is all.
We had him gelded in February of 2024 and he did really well with the surgery and recovery.
He is a afraid of needles so we give him dormosedan gel to calm him for any procedure requiring needles.
He is a good boy to de-worm and no history of lameness/founder or any health related issues.
He is up to date on their vaccines, worming, and farrier care.
He has fantastic conformation and we feel anyone would be lucky to have Boopers in their life!

We are offering training at Second Sunrise Rescue to get him started under saddle when he reaches 3 years old.

All Rowley Rescue Ranch horses come with a 60 Day Trial Period to ensure the perfect match!
Located in Nixa, MO, and Hauling Available Nationwide!

Backed by Rowley Rescue Ranch's reputation of honesty and transparency.
Safety and suitability are of the utmost importance in placing these horses.

Hey guys it’s $5 Friday and Jasi could use your help! ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

When completing her evaluation we found she has a lot of discomfort when cinching which is very stereotypical behavior for a horse that has gastric ulcers. Kicking at the cinch or anything around their belly is one of the most common signs.

We are fundraising to purchase her some medication to treat these ulcers, so that they can heal, and she can feel comfortable and be ridden. The 30 day supply is just shy of $400, so that is our goal $5 or any amount is so appreciated and goes directly to providing her this medication to feel better!
Thank you so much. ❤️‍🩹🙏🏻

Welcome to Second Sunrise, Jasmine! Jasmine was an owner surrender, and she is an 18-year-old appendix mare. She was previously from a kill pen, so we do not know a ton about her history, but she has definitely been used as a broodmare for a long time given her body confirmation. She is a beautiful light, floaty, mover, and is undergoing evaluations now! 🖤✨

Thank you everyone, Remy was adopted today but there are more available all the time on our rescue FB page! ♥️

AQHA: Scoots Easy On Turf
19 Yrs Old
15 hh
Registered Quarter Horse Mare

All info and videos at link in comments! ⬇️

Remy is one of those rare been there and done it all kind of mares everyone is looking for these days!
Remy was surrendered to us via an owner surrender but has previously been a ranch mare in Colorado.
She can be ridden English, Western, is a perfect trail horse.
She has been roped off of, has packed elk in the mountains, been a lesson horse and a husband horse.
She stands well and lets you groom, brush her without moving
She loads in the trailer perfectly and stands tied patiently and does not pull back.
She has been a good cow horse for most of her days and consequently has some arthritis in her front right fletlock.
We have found that using castor oil and magnetic boots on her legs at night really help her or being turned out.
She is currently not on any medication or supplements.
We are looking for a trail riding pleasure home for her and she would love being a kids trail horse. She adores kids!
We do not think a showing home or one requiring strenuous activities or arena riding would be suitable for her.
She finds deep footing and arenas difficult but loves being out and going down trails.
She will happily lead or follow on trails and can be ridden ba****ck or saddled.
She also has a tendency to be a bit too much of an easy keeper and gains weight quickly on fresh grass making her more prone to foot tenderness.
We recommend she only be allowed out on grass when it's not at it's highest sugar content (Spring and Fall).
She would be perfect in a home where she could have a buddy and live in a dry lot/ stalled and turned out during winter and summer.
She has no stable vices and is a very good girl/ easy keeper besides that.
She is currently shod in front and is great for the farrier.
She is completely beginner friendly and has all of the fancy buttons.
She has extensive experience working on a cattle ranch and is great around cows.
She one hand neck reins and can also direct rein.
She is a super fun mare to ride and just makes you smile and goes easily in a basic snaffle.
She loads and travels in the trailer, and stands tied like a dream.
You just have to think the direction you want to go and she will go there.
Stands well to be mounted and does not move off until you are ready to do so.
She is used to being mounted from the ground so we did introduce the mounting block to her and she took right too it.
She is great around dogs and does not kick out at them.
She is not mareish at all and comes up to you first.
She is not on any supplements, maintenance, or medication.
She is the same horse no matter which day you pull her out or how long you have left her in the field.
She is up to date on de worming, coggins, vaccinations, and hoof trims.
We think one family will be so lucky to have this lovely mare in their life!

We have heard from a few folks recently who are looking to sell their horses and did not know/ realize they needed a Bill of Sale.

We have created a blank copy one that you can use if you need to sell your horse that offers more protection than most.

It Includes:
- First Right of Refusal language
- Prohibited acts of sale - ex: Auctions, Sale Barns, raced as a racehorse again etc.

While having a current coggins is important on horses you own, it's also important when you purchase a horse as a coggins can be used in court to prove ownership, so have that in your name.

Just remember when you sell a horse you loose all ownership rights to that horse so be sure to explore other options like leasing, donating to a college, consignment programs, or to a rescue like ours to help you find a perfect home for your equine.

Boopers wore a saddle for the first time yesterday and it went exactly to plan! Zero fireworks, no bucking, and absolutely no fear. In fact he acted like he always did a little on the lazy side.
