Yesterday was a day to Celebrate 🎊. A rescue success story for us here at Freedom Creek.
Lucy the 30 plus year old donkey that our team I saved last year and was a residing Here at Freedom Creek. I really thought she would be a life time member because of her age.
Who would want a animal of this age? Well I would say we found the best home imaginable for our special Miss Lucy.
I am so excited for her.
Meet Karen she and her Mother which sadly could not make the trip are Lucy's new family.
I am so happy to see that Lucy is living in the lap of luxury and is going to have so much love.

Update on Nemo the 12 year old Daft Cross that joined us here beginning of January. He came to use severely under weight. Our vet was very impressed on how well he is gaining weight. His new supplement to help with his arthritic stifle will be here on Sat. I am excited according to reviews these have help alot of horses with the same type of problems. We love this big boy with a heart of gold.

Good morning update. LADY is doing much better swelling has gone down and the wound area is pink with no infection going on. We let water from the hose go over it and rinse out. We used no pressure, sprayed with peroxide to kill germs and then sprayed with antibacterial medication. Big difference from Tuesday. Our amazing Doctor Kaplin in coming out tonight to do a check on her and give her a tetanus shot and possible antibodies. Lady's girl Deanna Potter is learning quickly all about owning a horse. As I have stated many times it is not all about the ride..

When I made this page it was to share rescue and the animals during and after. I believe this means the good bad and ugly. So here it goes. I do not know what happened. I walked the whole pasture area several time and checked tree branches. We have caps on our t-post. Horses are like toddlers can get hurt from basically nothing. Lady must of fell on something or decided to itch on something. No we do not have a Stud. She some how cut up her youyoo. Our amazing veterinarian Doctor Kaplin was contacted and he said he seen this before and in reality it is not as bad as it looks. Thank you to the help of my Cousin and Ladys new humans we were able to take care of this wound with a good cleaning and antibacterial medication that was recommended along with daily cleaning. Today Doc is coming out to give her a tetanus shot and probably prescribed some antibiotics. He said Mary You got this I have seen you doctor worse. Lol I love my vet he is so down to earth and I love he has that much confidence and belief in my abilities.

Good rainy morning here in Western New York. My new mom calls me Nemo. Do you really think I look like a Nemo 😂

Meet another one of our Rescues here at Freedom Creek. The Legend himself the horse that we can haul hours from home and everyone knows of him. The horse that anyone can ride. The horse if you are a rider you never want to get off because he is so fun. The horse that is the guardian of his herd. The horse that once you meet him you'll want him in your herd.
This not so ordinary ovaro dun paint is Cruz he came to us through Rescue a Horse 5 years ago. He now is 26 and you would think he was 15. This beautiful guy has a resume 20 miles long and has done about everything. Now he is semi retired and loves to go out on trails rides and once in a while let loose those long legs. We here at Freedom Creek feel blessed to call him one of our lifetime residents.

What a beautiful morning and Nemo our new resident Draft Cross soaking up the sun rays says "It a great day to be alive." Nemo has been here 6 weeks he was a rescue from the slaughter pipeline by a nice lady that saved many from that horrible fate. Nemo needed a soft landing and his journey brought him here to Freedom Creek. When he arrived he was approximately 400 lbs under weight. He had gained about 150 lbs so far in the 6 weeks he had been here. He has the kindest heart ❤️ of any horse I think I have meant.

Adam is putting on a hay bale net on a round bale. This helps the horses from wasting the hay. If they had it their way they would be throwing it all over using it to lay in and wasting it. These bales weigh about 800 pounds. We put two out at a time and with 5 horse and 1 mini last approximately 10 day. #hay #roundbale #farmlife #horse #rescue

I am feeding the rescues this mash to help with weight gain. Lady has gained her weight back so she does not get as much as Nemo needs. He still needs to put on alot of weight. What do you use for your horses to help them get back to where they need to be? #weightgain #weightmanagement #rescuehorse #horse #food

Nemo is a draft cross. He came to us as a rescue 400 Lbs under weight. He got caught up in the Slaughter pipeline. He now is safe and is rehabtation here at Freedom Creek. He has gained now approximately 150 lbs. Like our page Rags to Saddle to see his proggress. #love #horse #rescue #slaughterpipeline #auction #food Mary Potter Adam Potter #ragstosaddle

Lucy is a 30 plus year old donkey. She was a owner surrender little over a year ago because they realized she needed more then they could offer..They loved her very much.. Lucy needed lots of love and care. She had a cracked rear hoof that needed a lot of attention and time to grow out. Lucy was severely under weight due to her teeth that were so long and entwined in the rear and needed dental work. Now I am happy that Lucy had made a full recovery and she is spoiled here at Freedom Creek. One of the hardest things to do is rehome the rescues. I almost did not adopt her out because I love her so much. I have to remember these rescues are going to amazing homes and allows us to help another. Rescue is difficult and not for everyone but for them it is everything. #adoption #love #donkey #horse #Rescue Walter D. Bialkowski Sandbar Farm Kat Kelly Karen Elizabeth

Lady was rescued from the Slaughter Pipe Line. I can't imagine this sweet gentle soul shipped out of the country for meat. So many are shipped daily.
