I’m big on signs, and this week the universe has been throwing them right in my face.
Yesterday, I was contacted about a mare in need of rescue. Without going into too much detail this girl is going to need a LOT of help!

I’m no veterinarian, but from what I can see, she appears to be suffering from DSLD (Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis). If that is the case, she will likely need extensive veterinary care, injections, and corrective shoeing to keep her comfortable. AND groceries! LOTS AND LOTS OF GROCERIES! Body score is looking like 3 out of 10. 1 being the worse.

Every sign is pointing me toward helping this mare, but we’re stuck between a rock and a hard place. Taking on a case like this comes with significant expenses, and we simply can’t do it alone.

She needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian- not only for what we expect is DSLD but for an injury to her stifle that was left untreated and we’re looking for sponsors willing to help give her a chance at a better life and bring her home here to the farm! Farm call, ultrasound/xrays, bloodwork, the whole 9 yards!

Own a business? Sponsoring this mare is a great way to support rescue efforts while gaining exposure for your company! Sponsors will be recognized on our social media, banners, rescue shirts, and not to mention a tax deduction at the end of the year!
Together, we can give this sweet girl the care she desperately needs. ❤️

Y’ALL… it is HOTTT and DRYYYYY out here 🏜️🥵 and the hottest months aren’t even here yet!!! But this heat is here to stay for awhile!!! The horses are definitely looking forward to the rain in the forecast! 🌧️

With all this dry weather, we are in desperate need of more hoof conditioner and once the rain hits, I’m sure we’ll be battling some thrush too 😅

AND to top it all off… our pitchfork officially took a 💩 this week 💀😂

If anyone is able to donate hoof conditioner, thrush treatment, or even a new pitchfork, we would be beyond grateful! ❤️

Below is what Tractor Supply carries locally for in store pick up or you can find the products on the Amazon wishlist pinned at the top of our page! Thank you to all that continue to contribute to the well being of the animals here ❤️

Have you ever seen a horse help another horse through grief after losing their lifetime companion? ❤️💔

Our boy Trouble is currently staying with a neighborhood friend of ours as a companion for her senior horse, Smokey. Smokey is 36 years old!!! 36!!!!!! Last week, he lost his lifetime companion and best friend, an appy named Candy. Since then, Smoke has been grieving hard 💔

Today, I went to switch the boys- one from the stall to the pasture and the other from the pasture to the stall. As soon as Smokey walked out, for the second day in a row he went straight to where Candy is buried. He smelled the ground and then slowly laid down on the same spot she’s buried. He stayed there for several minutes, so I decided to let Trouble out with him just to see what he would do.

Trouble quietly and calmly circled Smokey a few times and gently nudged him to get up. Smokey stood up and walked straight over to the same tree he’s been standing under ever since Candy passed. Once again, Trouble circled him and nudged him gently… and then the two of them walked off together ❤️

It was one of the saddest, yet most beautiful things I’ve ever witnessed! Animals feel grief, love, and loss so much deeper than most people realize!

When the Gator’s down- it needs a new tire- and the pasture needs to be drug- the Yukon gets promoted from grocery getter to farm truck real quick 😅

Nothing like dragging the pasture in something that’s supposed to be hauling snacks and my herd of children 🙄🚜 BUT it got the job done! 🤣 this is why I can’t have nice things! Don’t tell my husband 😅
