This is the other side of rescue and ranch life.
Lucky was a sweet old rescue horse who came here needing a safe place to land. And the other day, we had to say goodbye to her.
Rescue isn’t always about saving them.
Sometimes it’s simply giving them a soft place to land, a full belly, kindness, and a place where they are loved for whatever time they have left.
I sat with Lucky for hours as she passed, with one of our LGDs-Tucker, quietly lying near us, patiently keeping watch.
It wasn’t pretty or easy. This is just part of ranch life that doesn’t get shown as often.
We can’t save them all from getting old, or sick, or from eventually leaving us.
But we can make sure they don’t leave this world alone.
Rest easy, sweet old girl. You were safe. You were loved.💕
