Our Sunday morning started off with these two donkey asses — happily posing underneath their brand new stall plates. 😌🫏

Mildred (Millie) and Ellie Mae are very proud to show off their new signs… and they said you better like them. 😉🫶

The little spicy spud is so thankful to be back within his own herd.

We are still scratching our heads on that medical mystery of his, BUT are incredibly relieved that he is back to his normal self, with full eye-sight and just as happy and spunky as ever.

Thank you prayer warriors for boosting his health and for your support that afforded his emergency care and medications.

We’re often asked why we do what we do in rescue.
The answer is simple: we live for it.

Rescue work isn’t a hobby. It isn’t a side project. It isn’t something we clock in and out of. It lives in every inch of who we are—our drive, our thoughts, our hopes, our prayers.

There are far too many people in this world who are capable of hurting animals, and sometimes even willing to do so. The very least we can do, as good-hearted human beings, is choose to be the opposite. To choose compassion. To choose protection. To choose to create better and brighter futures for the horses who come into our care and for the ones still searching for safety.

We believe loving them is enough.
We believe being honest with them is enough.
We believe giving them choice, space, and dignity is enough.

Riding a horse is not important. Entertainment is not important. Profit is not important.

What is important is that they are safe.
That they are respected.
That they are never treated as commodities.

We’re here to be the difference.
We’re here to stand firm in the belief that animals do not exist for human use or exploitation.

They exist to be protected.
They exist to be loved.
And we will always choose to be the ones who stand for that. 🐎🤍

Today was one of those days that reminds us just how incredible our Tiny Acres family truly is.

We want to send a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to volunteers Bill and Rick for salvaging two existing structures on the property and transforming them into something amazing — including building a brand-new attached lean-to and creating pony stalls for two very special arrivals we are anticipating next week… Sugar and Joey.

While the circumstances that are bringing Sugar and Joey into our care are truly heartbreaking, and our hearts go out to their owner for having to make such a difficult decision, we firmly believe that a heartbreaking choice does not have to lead to a heartbreaking reality. These sweet ponies will not be used for pony parties or petting zoos. Instead, they will find forever sanctuary here — a safe place where all of their needs will be met and where they can live happy, peaceful lives without the stress of work.

We are also incredibly grateful to all of the volunteers who were out today helping tackle the many projects happening around the rescue. Your dedication keeps this mission moving forward.

A special thank you to our Vice President, Ashley, for painting and adding personalized touches to the barn as well as to our Director Rashelle, and Senior Leader Volunteer Monica for applying bedding, working on fencing, and getting the stalls beautifully prepped for these babies. Special shoutout to our friend Nick with Equine Custom Supply for creating both horses new stall plates.

Days like today are filled with hard work, compassion, and hope — and we couldn’t do any of it without this amazing community. Thank you all for being part of their story. 🤍🐴

👏🏼 🐴 HUGE THANK YOU to our incredible volunteer team! 🐴 👏🏼

Today was one of those all-hands-on-deck kind of days, and wow… did our village SHOW UP! With so many moving parts, eager helpers, and big projects happening, we couldn’t be more grateful for every single person who poured their time, energy, and heart into the rescue today.

From a brand new shed delivery (soon to be our Tack Shack 🙌), to shelters being built, odds and ends being fixed, and lots of groomers, muckers, feeders, and water-trough cleaners (hey, that rhymes! 😉) — the teamwork was absolutely amazing.

On top of everything else, it was also farrier day, and several of our horses received their much-needed trims. 🐎✨ And we have some extra happy news… Tater was finally cleared to go back out into the herd today and is loving every minute of it — running, playing, and enjoying his time with friends!

Special shoutout to Volunteer Bill and Volunteer Rick for getting a TON of work accomplished today — we truly couldn’t have done it without you! And an extra round of applause for Bill, who came through at the last minute on Tuesday to repair our barn water heater for the second time and had it fixed the very same day.

We’ve got some exciting new projects coming up, and with a team like this, we know anything is possible. Thank you all for believing in our mission, loving these animals, and making Tiny Acres Northwest Florida such a special place.

We appreciate you more than words can say. 🫶🏼🥰

We were recently contacted by the amazing folks at Mrs. Pastures Cookies for Horses, asking if we would like some additional treats for our herd… and of course we said ABSOLUTELY!

Well, yesterday we received an incredibly generous delivery of 90 containers and 84 stockings of Mrs. Pasture’s Cookies — and needless to say, our herd is officially spoiled and very happy! 🤎🐎

We are beyond grateful for this thoughtful and delicious donation. Thank you, Mrs. Pasture’s Cookies, for thinking of our horses and helping bring a whole lot of joy (and crunchy goodness) to our rescue. Your kindness truly means the world to us! 💕
