Yesterday after we posted the two senior horses at auction we did make an assumption that they were dumped at the sale for profit after being given to "good homes". I need to clarify that while we shouldn't always think the worst, we have come to these conclusions after more than a decade pulling senior auction horses. We all hope they are there by some tragic misfortune and that the people didn't know what they were doing. Usually though we find out that they are victims of the same story over and over. It takes away that part of you that wants to give people "the benefit of the doubt".

Unfortunately, we were right in our assumptions. Again. Because old horses given to "good homes" simply DO NOT get happily ever afters a vast majority of the time. Of the last 6 horses over 20 we bought at auction, 5 were given to a family for their kids. The horse ended up needing senior horse care they were not willing to provide and they wanted that last dollar instead of just euthanizing.

Cody is a registered paint 25 years old. He was given to a Rodeo family for their kids to ride. They admitted that he wasn't sound enough and needed too much feed. Also they said they wanted the money and knew he wasn't worth anything to sell privately.

Nugget is also 25+. Given to a family for their daughter to run barrels on. He also found himself dumped when he wasn't able to do it anymore.

How do we know? The owners who gave these horses to those families reached out to us. Both completely shocked. Both thought these homes were amazing and would be great loving families. Both told me they cried when they saw what happened. These weren't seniors with no options, these weren't broke single moms. The family that dumped Cody even kept the other horse they got with him since he doesn't have the care needs he does.

I won't soapbox again with a chapter book. I write on this often enough... but in the future please understand why we think the way we do. It's because nearly every senior horse we meet has this same story.

DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR OLD HORSES. If you must, try a rescue, do contracts, hold brand inspections or just let them pass on at home where they are loved.

Today is National Dog Day! What better way to celebrate than a howl with our New Guinea Singing Dogs, Coco and Pono? They are an ancient lineage of dog, sometimes considered a living fossil, that is found in Papa New Guinea. They are closely related to the Australian dingo. The singing dog is endangered, with less than 200 living in the wild today.

In walls of grey, I lay alone,
Where echoes speak in somber tone.
Once a home, now just a space,
A longing heart, a slower pace.

My eyes, they search for you each day,
In every shadow, come what may.
The gate swings open, hope ignites,
But fades with the falling of the night.

I dream of fields and running free,
Of joyful barks and your pat on me.
But dreams are fleeting, like the breeze,
That whispers through forgotten trees.

I've much to give, love yet to spend,
For loyalty, I'm known to lend.
A noble friend, through thick and thin,
I wait for you, to love again.

So here I sit, with hope's faint glow,
A faithful friend, despite the woe.
For in my heart, I still believe,
In a forever home, I will receive.

"This is addressed to those who don't want to rent apartments to people with dogs and also to those who won't rent houses to them:

I can't take my dog to the beach for a walk because it bothers you on your vacation. You also won't let me rent a house if I have a dog, and I can't bring my dog on public transport either.
However, I can take my dog through the rubble to find you after an earthquake, into the forest after you got lost in the mountains without a map or GPS, under the snow because you went off-piste despite the prohibition, into the water because you swam despite the red flag, and anywhere else you might need because, in the end, it's just a dog... but it will find you.

Dedicated to all those who don't love dogs."

In heaven there's a black and white dog taking care of seven golden lab puppies.❤️

Daisy the dog lost all seven of her puppies in a barn fire at the end of February, and wasn't the same afterwards, spending most of her days going to the remains of the barn to look for them. Her owner posted a desperate appeal on Facebook, asking if anyone had puppies she could foster. The next day, an owner of eight orphaned puppies contacted her, and Daisy took to caring for them straight away.

Contemplating… Thanks to Peter Kafali Poem by ©️Jacquelyn Allsop 2024

When the noise of the world
Becomes too much
Find a quiet place to rest
And feel that gentle touch.
The soft summer breeze
And the chirping of birds
Will drown out the chaos
Of muddling words.
Look up to the skies
And watch the clouds drifting by
White puffs of cottonwool
Flying so high.
Close your mind to the hub bub
And open your soul
Let nature help heal you
As its magic unfolds.
Soon, all that was wrong
Will again be put right
And you'll walk forward
Into the deep starry night. ❤️
