💥You are missing out!💥

Two seasoned trail horses here for you! These girls are half sisters, together since 2 days old for 18 years. Can be separated for riding if they share living space with other horse friends.

Ripley is a bay QH, 15hh. Easy to catch, good for tge farrier, hop on ba****ck after months of time off. She is more the leader of the two.

Quinn is a Paint, 14.3 hh.
Quinn had a small bout with Scaumous Cell Carcinoma, treated once then not needed since. She wears a UV mask during the day, and on Equioxx (both of which go with her). She can be a little hard to catch if out in pasture.

These two beauties are so easy to get along with! Love human time, grooming, excellent for the farrier. They both load and travel well.

What are you waiting for?
Adoption Application found at www.wmerr.org. Fee is $1500/pair.

Being with a horse is more than daily care. It’s a gentle touch that calms. It’s a warm gaze that speaks louder than words. It’s trust that cannot be bought, only earned with love and kindness.

Horses feel our hearts — they know when we are happy, and they understand when we are hurting. Their soul mirrors ours. And that is why caring for them is not just an obligation, but a true calling.

Because real love for a horse is not only about riding — it’s about care, about shared moments, and about knowing you are protecting one of nature’s miracles. 🌿✨

I haven’t met one yet.

I’m thinking it’s around 2,500 horses or so, with many going through the hardest of situations.

I haven’t met one horse yet that didn’t want to live because they had “behavioral issues.”

I’ve met many when it was their time.

When they had lived a long life and were ready to pass on. Or when their body had finally given out. Or when unfortunately they had been pushed hard and broken and uncared for and it had gone too far. Or when they had a physical affliction that was torturous.

Then it was about helping them in their journey, helping them get where they asked to go.

It was about how we could best serve them.

And there is no greater honor to be with them at such a time.

To be truly chosen by them to be there, present with them, in the most sacred of times.

I remember once seeing a group of kids who supposedly had behavioral issues who were meeting some horses that supposedly had behavioral issues.

And it was beautiful.

Everything slowed down and they all hung-out like life was easy. Like life was good. Safe and totally at ease with each other.

It’s the stories. The stories and labels and judgments that we thrust upon horses about what they should be, need to be, have to be…and when the story doesn’t match who they are…we push harder. We blame. We force. And then shake our heads when they don’t succeed.

We create the very behavioral issues that we condemn.

And we think horses are expendable to our wishes of what we want them to be. We say we feel such amazing heartfelt connection with them…but then still pass them around like some modern-day slave trade.

I get that relationships change, and sometimes a parting is best.

But to take the horse’s life because they have lost their way with the humans is the ultimate look-in-the-mirror about what we are truly in this for.

There’s no bad kids or horses, I thought to myself when watching those kids and horses together.

Just adults who aren’t able to listen, to truly see them, and have patience.

Old age is NOT an excuse for a skinny, suffering horse. Yes, senior horses can be harder to keep weight on. Their teeth wear down, digestion changes, they might need special diets, more calories, or extra care. That should all be consideredwhen buying a horse of any age and is all part of responsible ownership. But when a horse’s ribs, spine, and hips are sticking out, when they’re weak, unsteady, and clearly struggling, blaming “old age” isn’t good enough. That’s neglect, plain and simple.

If a horse is still bright, mobile, and enjoying life but needs extra TLC to maintain weight, then as owners, it’s our job to provide that. But if a horse is too far gone, too weak, too decrepit to recover or live comfortably, then it’s also our responsibility to do the right thing.

Keeping a horse alive just to avoid making the hard decision is not kindness. It’s cruelty.

Our horses gave us their best years. They carried us, taught us, trusted us. The least we can do is make sure they either have proper care or a peaceful, dignified end. No animal deserves to waste away.

Old doesn’t mean starving. Know the difference.
