UPDATE: SAFE! Modjeska Canyon, CA: Two QH Mares Need Homes

By

UPDATE: We were contacted by the family that these two mares were sent to a retirement facility and will be cared for. Thank you to everyone who shared these two! We were contacted by Rusty Richards, a well-known cowboy, horse trainer, and part of the musical group Sons of the Pioneers about rehoming his two Quarter horse mares. He wants to make sure that they go to a good home, which is why he reached out to us instead of selling them. Both mares are sound and rideable. They have been … [Read more...]

San Diego, CA: Hackney Pony Needs Home ASAP

By

We were contacted by a woman in San Diego county who helped someone rescue a Hackney pony when his owners moved to Arizona and could not take him. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to care for him, either, and would like to find him a new home. She is uncertain how old he is, but assumes he is in his mid-20s. He is very sweet and is good with other horses. He especially likes the mares. He will crib without a cribbing collar. It is uncertain if he is trained to pull a cart. The owner … [Read more...]

Usually we network horses if we don't immediately have any room, but … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Ulysses’ Infection in His Leg

By

Three weeks ago we received a frantic call from Javier, our caretaker, who feeds the horses in the mornings. He said that Ulysses was lying down and was having difficulty getting up. He said that Ulysses looked very weak in his back end, and from his description over the phone, we were concerned that Ulysses was having a neurological episode (due to the abuse he endured before we rescued him, he is neurological) and that we would have to immediately help him cross the rainbow bridge. We … [Read more...]

Immunovet EQ

By

Hanaeleh participated in a short trial, feeding Immunovet EQ fermented wheat germ extract (FWGE) to six of our horses for 45 days. It comes in a powder form, and was easy to add to their grain. Because it is fermented, it is much more stable than other wheat germ options, and has a longer shelf … [Read More...]

L.A. Fires Our hearts have been heavy in watching the destruction of the fires in L.A. and seeing the loss of both property and of life. We know firsthand that evacuations are incredibly frightening and stressful, and the aftermath of an evacuation can be as stressful as the evacuation itself. So … [Read More...]
