As our year is coming to an end, we can not thank you all enough the love and support you have all shown our beautiful rescue Sugar Shack Horses has been amazing. The days I felt devastated and defeated you all have came through with kindness and support to help me. As I always say we can’t save these sweet souls without you all.
I think about how many new friendships I have made through our rescue, what an amazing blessing, new friendships, friends that have become family. I hope you all are surrounded by those you love both two legged and 4 four legged, may your hearts and stomachs be full. God bless you all and Merry Christmas 🎄🐴❤️ From all of us at the Sugar Shack!

Merry Christmas from just a few of our rescue horses here at the Sugar Shack! And a beautiful letter I copied from a rescue horse, may we always always rescue when we can. 🎄🐴❤️

A letter from your rescue horse...

If I could write you a letter,
this is what I’d say—

Thank you
for seeing something in me
when the world had stopped looking.

Thank you
for choosing me
when I was thin,
frightened,
untrusting,
and carrying stories
I didn’t know how to tell.

You didn’t turn away
from the scars on my body
or the fear in my eyes.
You didn’t judge the way I flinched,
or how long it took me
to understand your gentle hands.

You just showed up—
patient, soft, consistent—
and let me learn
what safety feels like.

Thank you
for the food,
the clean water,
the shelter,
the kind words spoken
even when I didn’t yet know
how to deserve them.

Thank you
for understanding
that healing takes time…
and that trust is something
a horse can only offer
after their heart remembers
what kindness feels like.

You celebrated my small victories—
the first time I didn’t pull away,
the first time I walked toward you,
the first time I let my head rest
in the space between your shoulder and neck
and felt… peace.

With you,
I learned that hands
can offer comfort,
not harm.
That voices
can soothe,
not threaten.
That humans
can love,
not leave.

I want you to know
I notice you.
I see the time you spend,
the money you sacrifice,
the care you put into every detail
of my new life.

I feel it
in every stroke of the brush,
every softly spoken word,
every quiet moment
where you let me simply exist
without fear.

I am not the horse I used to be.
Because of you,
I am becoming someone new—
someone braver,
stronger,
more trusting,
more whole.

You didn’t just rescue my body.
You rescued my spirit.
And if I could say only one thing,
it would be this:

I am grateful for you.
More than you’ll ever know.
And I will spend the rest of my life
trying to show you
what your love has done for me.

With all that I am,
and all that you’ve helped me become—
thank you.

Have you rescued a horse?
