Huckleberry has only been here a short time, but after some much needed farrier work, deworming, dental work and supplemental nutrition, he's really improved so much already. Proud of you Huck!

✨ From fly-swatting problem to fashion show moment…

When Murphy arrived, his tail was too short to keep the flies away- totally unacceptable for a horse of his stature. So we got creative… and maybe a little carried away. 😆

Before the extensions went on Murphy’s tail, we had to make sure they were fabulous enough. Enter: Fiona-donkey, diva, and apparently the lead singer of a '90s glam rock band. 🎤💃

She said, “Hold my halter, I’ve got this.” And honestly? She did.

Check out the final result - Murphy now has the swishiest tail on the block, and Fiona might have a future in hair commercials. 💁‍♀️

📣 Belated Welcome Alert! Meet Murphy & Huckleberry (aka Huck) 💚🐴

We’re a little late sharing their story, but these two boys have already galloped their way into our hearts!

Murphy is a gentle giant-a stunning Belgian draft horse with a heart as big as his hooves. And Huck? He’s our adorable, curly-coated small Quarter Horse with a wild mane and even wilder charm.

Both were rescued from the slaughter pipeline on April 1st, and sadly, that was no April Fool’s joke. They arrived underweight, neglected, with overgrown hooves and a heartbreaking lack of care or kindness.

Since then, they’ve received:
✔️ Expert farrier work
✔️ Dental and medical attention
✔️ And most importantly—all the hay, feed, and love they could ever want.

Now thriving, these sweet souls are blossoming before our eyes, and we’re beyond excited to watch them continue to grow, heal, and shine.

Help us give Murphy and Huck the warm welcome they deserve! 💕

P.S.: Murphy already has a sponsor, but Huck would love a sponsor to call his own! Message or call for more details about sponsorship, it allows us to continue this important mission 🍀

If only these horses had a cozy, dry place to escape the wind and rain...Oh wait- they do! 😄💁‍♀️

We wish we had a better update:

We named him Patrick, and we wish we could have gotten to him sooner.

We picked Patrick up as soon as we were allowed and immediately gave him pain meds. He was sweet and gentle and scared.

He was in extremely poor shape and nearly collapsed in the trailer as soon as he got in, so of course we made the immediate decision to drive him directly to UW-Madison VeterinaryHospital. They took him back and examined him, and unfortunately there was nothing they could do. They said the injury was far older than a week, the bone was exposed and the limb had started to die. He was necrotic.

He was sweet. He was gentle. He had more life to live.

He didn’t deserve the hand he was dealt.

We named him Patrick, and then we let him go.

Rest in peace, Patty. You will forever be in our hearts.

Can you help us help this boy?

Yesterday, June 4th, our rescue was alerted to an urgent situation.

There was a saddlebred gelding at a kill lot, with a crippling injury to his right hind leg. This injury was thought to be “about a week old”, he had no treatment other than getting “hosed off”, no pain meds were given, it was very obviously infected, and he can’t bear weight on that leg. To make the situation worse, they listed him as “loose haul” and didn’t get a halter on him, but the body language and wild pain in his eyes make us question his true personality and training level.

Many kind hearted rescue followers pitched in and covered his “bail”, and then contacted Lucky Clover to ask if we would please try to help him.

We are having an on-call vet see him immediately this evening, and he may have to go directly to UW-Madison Veterinary Hospital. We will do what we can to help him. He will quarantine with a wonderful soul, at a fantastic barn, who is a multiple time Lucky Clover Equine Adopter, and she, along with Collette, with ensure if he is able to be healed, that he gets absolutely everything he needs. If the worst situation presents itself, we will offer him the last act of kindness.

The vet bills are expected to be large on this one, and we are right around the corner of our first hay crop getting bailed… farmer also has to be paid.

If you can help us help this boy, it would be sincerely appreciated.

Welcome...

Thank you for visiting our page. We currently have provided a healing sanctuary for 24 equines (this includes 3 donkeys, 1 mini horse and 2 Belgian Draft Horses). On site, we also care for a 4 rescued barn cats and a flock of hens and several roosters.

Founded in 2019, Lucky Clover Rescue is committed to caring for equines that come to us due to abuse, neglect or abandonment as well as for those at risk of imminent slaughter. We strive to improve the lives of horses by providing a safe haven for healing and rehabilitation. The restorative benefits extend to our volunteers that graciously give their time to help make Lucky Clover Rescue thrive.

Several current residents that are elderly or who have special needs now call Lucky Clover Rescue their “forever home” as sanctuary residents.

By advocating on behalf of all equines that have passed through our gates as well as for those innocent lives that were lost before we could save them in time, Lucky Clover Rescue strives to be involved in community education and awareness programs.
