Layla Rose Ranch Horse Rescue

The horses would live to send all this rain to you. Everyone is settled in their stalls waiting for it to dry.

Look at Grayson; he's doing lots of groundwork and desensitizing, and they found out he loves bananas.

Storm would like everyone to know that we found out today that she is a quarter horse/mustang, which makes perfect sense to us.

Two updates:

Lariat (petunia) is getting so tall we all thought she would not get very big but she is. She still plans to rodeo on her and is learning so quickly. She’s 2 now hard to believe.

Cheyenne: (Cloud) is doing well her momma had a baby and so training has slowed down but she still adores this girl. Clouds baby lonestar (riot)is growing so quickly as well and is doing well.

Out of an abundance of caution, we are suspending intake and movements of horses within the rescue for the next two weeks and will reevaluate at that time. We are also holding off on our farrier until further notice. It's not worth the risk; please keep all your horses home and keep an eye on them. We also won't be allowing visitors at this time.

My husband is always surprising me with fun touches to the ranch.

Lucky is thriving with stall time just in time for the rain that's coming. Since we have found forever homes for some, all the big horses will have a cozy stall tonight. The minis have a spacious shelter they all share; I feel like we never have enough stalls as I like to stall everyone for rain or bad weather.

Lucky is much better then yesterday where he was really pacing in the round pen trying to find a way out,today he’s calming down a little.

Epona now Tehillah is settling in nicely and they are working on loading and unloading this week since she didn’t want to unload when they got her home. They love her so much.

I have never seen a horse with so many fears; it's clear he was beaten 🥺. I finally got him to think today instead of react, so I'm getting somewhere. He is still recovering from EPM, so we don't do too much, as his back end is still a little off. I am starting with desensitizing a lot of it. He is also scared of water; he was shaking, but he finally relaxed. He also got time in a stall with a fan after I rinsed him, and he didn’t like it at first, but settled in after a bit, and then he was able to go back outside. If he ever has to go to the vet and stay overnight or get adopted by someone who stalls them, he has to get used to it. Other than that, he’s a sweet boy who just needs some time to realize people are okay. I sometimes wish they could tell you what all happened to them, but then again, maybe it’s better we don’t know.
