She is settling in amazingly. She always meets me at the gate and follows me along the fence line ♥️

Amazing news! Of all the potentially bad issues Miss Windsor had when we brought her in. Every single one has checked out and she is okay!! We thought she may be neurological due to what the lot said. Turned out she just needed a trim (bad!) and a 10 month old shoe removed. The huge lump on her neck that could have also been something potentially bad? Just old scar tissue. Now she can continue to live a happy retirement with us ♥️♥️

Windsor did SO GOOD for the farrier yesterday. Her hooves cleaned up pretty beautifully. Her estimated 10 month old shoe on her back foot was removed and not at all to my surprise, she is walking pretty normally now. No sidewindery neuro anything like what was stated in her listing. .
She is such a cute and curious little pony, already following me around 🥰.
Next up, vet on Friday to see what that big neck lump is all about.

We are bringing in a new rescue this week! She is a late teens haflinger type pony. She has extremly long hooves with old old road shoes on her backs. She also has a large lump on her neck that we dont know the cause of. .
We have decided to name her Windsor 🫶🏻 .
She will need a lot of TLC and we will be happy to give it to her. .
She should be here by the end of the week. Can’t wait for you to arrive!! ♥️♥️

We haven’t updated our fb in a while. Mostly
Bc it’s (very luckily) been status quo for a while until this past weekend. We have not brought in any new horses in a while because, quite frankly, it can become overwhelming very quickly. Even though we have not rescued any equines we have brought in many smaller animals (dogs, cats, even a goat!).

New year, same us! We plan to continue rescuing more equines this year!

Mother Nature has been giving us some beautiful days lately. Here are some of the horses (Nora, Big T, Samson, Ford) enjoying some sunshine. ♥️♥️

Rest easy Ruby girl 💔.
We rescued Ruby on 8/3/24. At almost 30 years old we knew we wouldn’t have long with her but fed her the best, double blanketed her when needed, and always looked after her. .
About a month ago she coliced. Fairly mild and cleared with banamine. This past Saturday we were gone for a few hours in the morning and came back to seemingly another colic. I gave her banamine but it didn’t make a difference. I Made a call for the vet to come out on emergency. I watched her, and waited with her in the meantime. .
She must have had a hard life. She never enjoyed human interaction. She was not comforted by a kind hand. She never took a single treat despite many many many attempts. But that doesnt mean she didnt still deserve a softly written final chapter to her book. Thank you for trusting me to care for you the way you deserved, sweet girl. .
She passed, on her own, before the vet was able to make it..
Run free big girl ♥️♥️🪽🪽
