🧡 Red/Dee Update 🧡
"The Bucket List" was a very emaciated TB that was surrendered in 2022 with an infected leg wound.
He had a very interesting life from starring in a movie (Ride Like A Girl) and training in para-dressage.
Unfortunately, after being rehomed in 2019 after the movie, he was sadly neglected just 3yrs later.
Thankfully, there was someone within the family that did what was best and tried to find a better home. Should it have gotten to this point, no. But, I am thankful they reached out.
Shortly after making Red's initial welcome post, his breeder/former owner/trainer reached out in shock. They were very angry and sad that he had ended up like this. He meant a lot to them and they immediately offered a forever home for him on their stud/farm.
What was even more amazing, people from the movie "Ride Like A Girl" also reached out and offered to sponsor all of Reds feed costs! For that, I am forever grateful.
After 3 months in care, it was determined Red was healthy enough to travel south back to his breeders/trainer. So, off he went, just in time for Christmas, to live the life he deserved.
To this day, he is always fed and always cared for. He has become the nanny gelding looking after all the babies.
Here is the message from his owners today 🥰
"Living his best life! He is a great nanny, watching over 6 colts last year and will be introduced to the new foals shortly. He has learnt to trust again and is very loyal. He’s my grumpy old man and I love him to bits".
Below are some photos from now on his new home, before leaving and upon arrival.
