If you have a soft spot for goats, this is Charlie and he really needs a family and herd to call his own. Charlie is a five year old Alpine. He has had a tough time with folks during his life and needs someone to give him the time to begin to trust and enjoy life again. His number one need is a herd and a place to roam safely.

Charlie was recently castrated at UC Davis (September 13th) and is gradually calming down from a life fueled by testosterone. He is also up to date on vaccines and has been wormed.

If you would like more info on Charlie, please contact me by text at: 510-459-5900.

Thanks!

Update on past gofundme projects
A huge thank you to everyone who donated towards our horizontal sheds! It’s so nice to have the much needed storage space for all our numerous bits and pieces that were taking up space in our hay shed. We can’t thank you enough for your generosity - we know it wasn’t an exciting cause so your donations are even more appreciated, especially right before the holidays. Thanks again for your support.

Our Board member is raising funds to help BHR purchase 2 outdoor storage containers. These will be used to store tools and buckets, etc. and will free up some much needed space. All donations go directly to Blue Horse Rescue and the GoFundMe will automatically generate a donation receipt for you. We thank you and the horses and ponies thank you.

Many thanks for all your donations. Caballo’s owners lost everything in the fire and we’ve committed to helping him through your donations. Today, we had our farrier check out and trim his feet. So far no burns or abscesses. Our barn survived, our horses survived, today is a better day. Edited to add : We’ve read many of our neighbors are missing cats. We’ll be putting out cat food and access to water just in case they stop by.

We’d like to thank everyone for their donations to Higby Feed. Many neighbors on English Hills Rd in Vacaville have lost everything and we’re so grateful for being able to help our neighbors. Your donation that you’ve called in to Higby’s under our BHR account is helping feed 200 sheep, a horse, a goat and tomorrow we’ll begin helping with 7 cows. We’re so grateful that we got out and our barn was saved. If you need help, please call Laurie at (510) 459-5900

We’re a little late posting so please follow our blog for current updates.
Today was dental day for Sweet Will, Molly and Mouse. Sweet Will handled it like a seasoned horse - been there done this - he’s the all round gentle experienced horse. From sedation to full recovery took about an hour. He was gentle during the procedure, recovered quickly and was out in the arena checking everything out within a hour. We are hoping that Will can begin eating a little more naturally - not a complete diet of pellets and a little more natural forage. Fingers crossed. If not, Will does love his pellets and does well on them.

Molly and Mouse are super young and still very new at the whole dental day thing but they did just great with the amazing care from Pioneer Equine, Dr. Kate and her crew. Sharp points were smoothed out and caps were flipped off where possible. They did great. The biggest trauma of the day was little Mouse having his sheath cleaned - this was a major humiliation and no way acceptable according to little Mouse. Lots of kicking and butt hopping but he let us help him out. Lets just say that all systems are working a whole lot better now!

Molly is amazing with vet care and was very calm and accepting of all the vets had to offer. Being younger than Mouse, she is very busy shedding her baby teeth, and actually managed to crack a cap - luckily no infection or pain involved so we decided to let nature take it’s course and let it be - no infection and looks like it will fall out naturally within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Fingers crossed.

Molly and Mouse also had their BHR microchips placed and they did really well with that. Just another way of keeping them safe and under the BHR umbrella for life.

The little ones were in a much better pic position so I have a few more to share. The good news is that all recovered well from sedation and are one step closer to thriving and getting healthy. Always a good thing!

We are really looking forward to bringing Will to his sanctuary home in Orland but unfortunately the extreme mud has put us on hold. He will be joining the BHR sanctuary family with Christina where he will live out his senior days with pasture to roam, shelter from the winter storms, senior companions, and lots of love.

A huge thank you to Dr. Kate and Pioneer Equine in Oakdale for the amazing care they have given our horses! - they are truly amazing and I totally recommend them for your horse care. Great care, communication and passion for horses. What more can you ask for? We really love working with them.

I think Mouse says it all for Valentine's Day. Have a great one!

We’ve been contacted and asked to share. On December 14th 2018, Sammiesfriends.org took in 21 Thoroughbreds. They’re still looking to find perfect homes for 9. Please contact them directly if you can offer a great home.

Molly and Mouse continue to heal and get healthy - a great thing to see as they were both fighting a pretty nasty pneumonia and extreme stress when we first met them. Young and alone they did their best but it definitely took it’s toll on them both.

Molly is now very active, feeling much better and very much large and in charge. She has assumed the role of alpha mare and very much lets little Mouse know what he needs to be doing, or not doing. For the first time, they are both very active and energetic and really enjoy their time out in the arena - running, bucking, crow hopping and playing. The play is with each other and with water - Molly especially loves water, no matter where she finds it!

Little Mouse has finished his antibiotics - his pneumonia was very much worse than Molly’s. He has been wormed again (extremely high worm load!) and is now gaining weight to the point where a diet change in is his very near future.

Both have both grown very thick winter coats and now look like miniature wooly mammoths - especially Mouse! You will be happy to hear that Mouse’s forelock is also growing out and is now laying flat against his little forehead - no more mohawk for Mouse!

Our vet, Dr. Kate, will be coming out to do a recheck this week and we are hoping for good news - will let you know! Keep up with all our updates on our blog. Www.bluehorserecue.org

When we think of those companions who traveled by our side down life’s road, let us not say with sadness that they left us behind, but rather say with gentle gratitude that they once were with us - author unknown.

It’s a sad time for Blue Horse Rescue as we say goodbye and grieve the loss of our beautiful senior mare Katy’s Choice. She will be greatly missed and in our hearts always. Thank you KC for all you taught us and the many ways you enriched our lives. Read more ... http://www.bluehorserescue.org/blog/

Little Molly has had a tough time lately and we are so happy to see that she has made friends with the cutest little pygmy goat ever - her name is Miss Scarlet. Molly and Miss Scarlet spent the day together bonding, trading secrets and enjoying each others company. Molly has been with little Mouse (definitely all boy!) since August 18th and while they live well together, Molly was very happy to enthusiastically embrace Miss Scarlet’s female energy! Many thanks to Tina (foster mom) for sharing this moment.

PS - Mouse was not at all interested in this relationship - he was napping in the shavings - way to much girl stuff for him!
