Trabuco Canyon, CA: Looking for ATV Mobile Mechanic

By

We love our little Yamaha Rhino ATV. It helps us carry shavings, hay, hay pellets, and the horses' daily grain. We desperately need it serviced, and it needs new brakes! We had a mobile mechanic who had been coming out to the ranch to repair it, but he moved, and we haven't found anyone local who can help us. If you know of a mobile mechanic we can hire to work on our ATV, we would greatly appreciate it! We are located in Trabuco Canyon, in south Orange County, CA. The ATV is a 2007 Yamaha … [Read more...]

Wild Beauty Documentary

By

This past week, Elizabeth had the honor of being a special guest at the documentary Wild Beauty, a movie about the plight of the wild horses and how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues to round them up for no reason except for the fact that large corporate cattle and sheep ranchers and oil companies want to occupy these federal lands.

UPDATE: We Did It! SAFE! 3 Baby Foals Due to Be Shipped to Slaughter!

UPDATE 4/17/23: We were able to save the babies! One of our previous board members and supporters has offered to quarantine them for 30 days while we get them vetted and continue to network for new homes for them. The black colt was saved separately, so we only had to take the bay filly and the chestnut colt. We were also told of a pony-sized mule who was set to ship to slaughter as well, so we were able to get him safe also! They are scheduled to arrive later this week (Wednesday or … [Read more...]
