Captain and Dude
Dude is such a loner usually so it was so exciting to see him interacting with Captain. #tlbhorses #tlbcaptain #tlbdude #fyp #rescue #sanctuary
Wednesday Volunteer Report:
6 volunteers and 19 horses received attention.
Gaz, Tonka, Sierra, Sonja, JT, Maggie and Duncan were groomed, doctored and when needed bathed.
Chloe spent her last summer volunteer day giving Rusty a refreshing bath. She got time hanging with Ruby and Wendy telling them to be good and she would return. She and Joanne also braided Sonja’s mane after Joanne had given her a bath. We will miss you Girl!
Others who got handled today by April were Z and Daisy. Z was allowed a brief walk outside the stall. He does not look forward to stall rest while everyone is outside! Thank you April for helping Lisa with the big girls Tonka and Maggie!
Hippie received another treatment by Francesca. Anyone who has met Hippie knows he loves attention of any kind!
Bob worked on the new fridge. Once fixed we can keep those donated veggies again. He was seen out checking the latest shade cloth in the “Bigs” pen. We might need to hang an ”Open for Business” sign. I haven’t seen anyone under that shade cloth yet. The minis sure do use theirs!
A late update from last weeks report that Bob and Dennis got the two posts replaced on two of the stall runouts. This was great news.
Volunteers we have two new tie rings up. They are mounted on corner posts under the shade cloth in the “mini pen.” (Thanks Bob) These are for your safety. If going in there please make sure use them. You can tie Bentley on one ring and Fury on the other. This will keep them out of your way when grooming the others. Make sure to go in with a buddy. Watch each others back. Never put yourself in a compromising position. If you need help please ask. Your safety matters!
I also saw our wishlist Wednesday shade cloth replacement for the donkey round pen has been funded. Bob and Dennis have a new project. This pen is good to use when servicing anyone in the “Donkey Pen.”
Heard from Zeke and his squad there was an Astrid sighting after we left. He was so gla
When it’s 96 degrees out, just swing!

Wednesday Volunteer Report
10 volunteers today. We welcomed Linda back from vacation. She was truly missed by the animals and the volunteers. Also welcoming Susan’s sister Lori, who chose Liberty Barn to use a vacation day to visit and help. Thank you!
A total of 33 horses got serviced today.
Those receiving baths and/or doctoring if required were: Jules, Dude, Sonja,, Sunday, Captain, Twister2, Princess and Hippie. There might be some fighting over who Hippie loves the most. I am going to stay out of that one!
Doctoring and general grooming were done on; all 5 minis, Bentley, Maggie2, Rusty, Dusty, Chester, Honey, Pip, all 6 Donkeys, Duncan, Sierra, Zeke, Tonka, Jess, Wendy and Ruby.
Bob put final tweaks on the mini pen shade cloth. Everyone was under it when I left. Minor fence boards were repaired.
Several of the equine are sporting Red, White and Blue patriotic themed fly masks. These represent our independence and The Liberty Barn theme! Have a quiet and safe holiday.
See you Friday for farrier day.
Sunday will be volunteer day for weekenders this weekend.
