Broncs and Buns Rescue and Rehabilitation

14/12/2023

Can you tell me why what we do as a rescue is important? I want to hear your perspective in the comments please!

Here's why I think it's important.

Plain and simple, these horses that need a safe place, the ones tossed away, the ones no longer wanted, they don't deserve it.

I've heard it a million times, I've grown up hearing it... There's a reason they are at the auction.

Well yes there is. I won't argue with that. There is a reason.

They can't perform like they used to whether it be because of an injury, illness, age, or demeanor change, and their owner didn't want a horse they can't use. I get the thought process, especially in this economy. Some of you may think I'm harsh for saying that, but it's the reality of the situation in the horse industry.

But they don't deserve it. This is why rescue is important. These horses deserve a good home just as much as the next.

So here I am, along with so many other rescues, trying to stop the process. To educate people that don't understand what happens once they drop their child's old pony off at the sale. To help place horses in safe homes before they end up there. I'm trying. I feel like it's an uphill battle, but I know for those I've helped, I've changed their whole world and that helps. 🤍

March is my birthday month guys and I have one wish this year. To grow as a rescue!

I am turning 31 this year! Give me a little 🙌👏 if you're in the dirty thirties club with me!!

I have a few goals this year for my birthday and I'm hoping you guys can help make my birthday wish come true.

🎂 First up I want to get up to 31 supporters on our Patre0n! 🔗 Is in my bio! (We are at 15 right now)

🎂 Second I want to raise 3,100 to go towards fencing improvements!

🎂 Third I want to get our three buns Dill, Basil, and Lemon Balm and Alex sponsors! (Pending: lemon balm may have a sponsor) Do you get it 3🐇1🐴 I'm sticking with the number 31 lol

Can you help us get there? It's a big goal, but I believe we can do it!

🎉 My actual birthday is March 21st ♈🐏 but I'm gonna give us until April 21st to meet our goal because that was my mommoms birthday and she was such an incredible and important person in my life so it just feels right to celebrate hitting our goals on her birthday along with her amazing life.

Let's do this guys! I know I have some incredible people on here that can help us meet our goal! And on April 21st I'll meet you here to toast an amazing lady and amazing growth for our rescue! 💜🎂🐴🎉🐇♈

Yep that's Roger with one of his lady friends and some additional friends in the back there. These guys were busy looking for bugs yesterday while we cleaned up the pasture. Although they also scratch my piles around too, which was totally unhelpful. Regardless, we love them. Roger is the top dog in the coop and keeps the other roosters in line.

How he ended up at Broncs and Buns is an interesting one. There is a farm stand not far from my house on a rather busy road (especially in the summer) and one day my dude Roger just showed up. He stayed there all summer eating all the fresh fruit and veggies he wanted and had a good life. But as the summer was coming to an end the stand was going to close, there wouldn't be anyone to feed Roger. Not to mention he didn't fully grasp that he had to get out of the way when a car was coming. So they called me and we welcomed him home.

He is a true rooster through and through. He protects his family, but he will whoop their ass when needed. He doesn't tolerate any inter coop fighting lol. We are so happy he's here! 💜

Aren't these babies pretty at sunrise on a chilly day!

Now that I've got your attention...we need your help!! 🙃 We are getting another load of hay on Sunday and getting ready for spring shots, teeth floats, and planning for some much needed upgrades for the fencing and shelters. I know these are boring, but they are needed to keep our guys happy, healthy, and safe. These things add up quickly, let alone the regular feed runs every week, let me tell ya these horses can put away some food! If you would like to be a part of that and help us take the best care of our residents please join our Patreon!

The bunnies and horses would be forever grateful! Patreon helps us plan ahead and know what we can afford from month to month. Every dollar helps. Please click the link in my bio and consider helping us grow as a rescue! 💜

Hey Broncs and Buns fam! Guess what!?! Broncs and Buns was presented with an award from Rancho Relaxo! We were given the Rancho Relaxo's rescue partner of the year award!

How amazing is that?! It's our FIRST award! And I promise it won't be our last.

Although it is bittersweet, given the circumstances that brought us together that Sunday in the summer, to save all those lives and mourn those we couldn't. It made us stronger, more resilient, and gave us a community we know we can rely on. It made us hyper aware of the signs of neglect, although it's not fun, it's something we need in this life and something we won't forget.

Thank you Caitlin and Len, for thinking of Broncs and Buns when deciding who deserved an award. Congratulations to the other rescues who received an award, and to Len for being an absolute MVP at Rancho this year! 💜

Throwback to a young bunny named Dill trying to break into the feed bin. She's a spicy bun for sure, but we love her even on her sassiest days!

I will post the story on her and her brother Basil for you guys shortly!
