🌟🐎National Volunteer Appreciation Week!🐎🌟

April 20th through the 26th celebrates volunteers across our great nation in their service, sacrifice, commitment and dedication to the entities in which they volunteer their time and skills.

Here at Tiny Acres NWFL Equine Rescue, we value each and everyone of our 30 hard-working volunteers!

They are always incredibly eager to help, and do whatever it takes to get the job done.

The dedicated contributions of you all have significantly helped to alleviate many daily burdens placed on us rescue workers of which we are so thankful for and blessed with.

Not only have you made our tasks that much easier, you’ve helped to create a comforting, safe and loving environment for so many once unwanted equines which is a debt that we can never truly repay and an appreciation in which we can never fully convey the true magnitude of.

We are blessed to know you all, to have you apart of the ‘Tiny’ team! Together we move mountains!

Never forget the the impact you make! 🐎🎉🌟

🎉🌟💕💃🐎 Way to go TEAM! 🐎💃💕🌟🎉

Our beautiful mascot Maggie along with our Board of Director’s are incredibly happy to announce that our organization has been awarded the 2025 Guardian title from the EQUUS Foundation! 🐎

For those who may not know the significance of this title, “Guardians are equine charities on the Equine Welfare Network that demonstrate a commitment to public transparency by their willingness to make comprehensive data about their programs, horse care practices, and governance available for public scrutiny.”

Tiny Acres NWFL, Inc. is one of only SIX 501(c)3 equine welfare organizations within the state of Florida that are EQUUS Guardians!

This title did not come without hours on hours, and days upon days of paperwork, but at the end of the day, it’s always well-worth it to prove to our community of supporters and followers that we are exactly what we say we are in rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming and that we take our transparency practices very seriously.

When it’s your hard-earned dollars that help to keep our mission and programs afloat, we feel that in the very least, it’s our honor to reflect just where those hard-earned dollars are spent, and that we are serious when it comes to equine welfare.

Though we are are now officially a 2025 EQUUS Guardian, each year, starting January 1st, our organization most provide extensive documentation and record for our current volunteers, financials, Board of Director participation, intakes, adoptions, fosters, current in care, programs, services as well as our equine veterinarian reference and their approval and verification of our practices.

We are honored to have received the 2025 Guardian title and are excited about the grant opportunities that come along with this title.

Thank you all for backing us, and entrusting our organization in equine welfare.🐎💕🙏🏼🎉

Cheyenne, just shy of 8 months in our care is now 352lbs gained! 🎉

She is now officially off her refeeding program and has shifted to a maintenance feeding regimen, which consists of 3 lbs of soaked grain and forage pellet 3x daily. In conjunction with this, she receives a free-choice coastal/Tifton 44 mix.

This ensures that Cheyenne maintains her fat and muscle as she is now 36 years old.

Senior horses typically require more fat and protein than their younger herd mates, and this is especially true since Cheyenne was previously emaciated and very sick just eight short months ago.

Way to go on your rehabilitation Cheyenne! Proof that age is just a number and while there are some too far gone to rehabilitate due to extensive health conditions from neglect, they ALL deserve a shot at it!

Thank you to all who have made this super, senior mares life a happier and healthier one. Far from the days of her painful and hungry past. 🙏🏼🐎💕

Our beautiful, senior, sanctuary resident Dahlia is enjoying the shade and breeze of this gorgeous Monday!

This sweet mare's life wasn’t always sunshine, happy days, and good health. She’s a beauty, no doubt about it. A solid-built Foundation Quarter Horse with eye-catching markings was seen for only that.

What her many homes before us failed to realize is that she is far more than just her looks. She is empathetic, silly, loving, and compassionate.

Used for her looks only, Dahlia bred many foals and passed through many, many homes. So much so that once she arrived in our care, emaciated, sick, and having difficulty walking, her heat cycles were extreme. She was so uncomfortable and miserable that Dahlia had little to no idea of how to just be a horse and not a broodmare, something we deal with today.

Due to her neglectful past, Dahlia now suffers from severe equine asthma, horrible teeth, arthritis all over, and also, unfortunately, has a muscle-wasting disease that went many years untreated.

While we absolutely hate the past that she had to endure to find her way into our care, we feel so blessed to know this sweet and oftentimes misunderstood beauty.

We didn’t get many willing participants for today's Easter basket fun, other than wanting the carrots. 🥕🐰🐎

However, we did have one horse (Honey) and several small animals eager to participate. 🐢🐾

It just goes to show, that no matter who, or in this case what you are, you can be anything your heart chooses. Their hearts chose to be Easter bunnies today. 🐰🥕

Happy Easter to our many amazing supporters and our fabulous team of dedicated volunteers!

✝️🐎 He is risen! 🐎✝️

We had one long-faced bunny in the pasture earlier asking for carrots!…🤔 🥕

I smell an imposter! 🐰🐎🥕

Our sweet little Lady has made so much progress with her handling and trust since arriving back into our care from adoption.

Lady has had an aweful little life. Rescued from a shutdown, local breeding farm as the only pony left… essentially left behind, she was absolutely frightened by humans, dogs, you name it.

Apart of her history involved witnessing her companion of many years, mauled to death by two aggressive dogs, and as frightening and traumatizing as that is, we are so happy that Lady was physically unharmed; though mentally is another story.

Arriving back from adoption after 9 months, Lady was an absolute mess. So unkept, very matted mane, foundered with excessively long hooves and again scared to death of humans.

We worked tirelessly day in and out prior to her adoption to help fix what others have created and made significant progress with that, only to be back at square one with her after adoption.

Lady has been provided sanctuary here with us for the rest of her years, where she will never know fear and will only know quality care, endless love, respect and safety. 💕

Her recent progress has been inspiring on so many levels. We are so proud of you little Lady. 💕🐎🙏🏼

The behind the scenes things that we do for “that one photo”.

Oftentimes what you see on our page with the horses on a lead, standing beautifully, at attention yet poised and majestic, never mentions the things that our team does to achieve those shots!

We’ve stood on our heads, kick up our heals, danced around like maniacs and used a few crinkle bag goodies to get the job done.

I’m sure our fellow equestrians can attest to the silly yet effective antics required for that one photo with your horse!

Thanks to Senior Leader Volunteer Cathy for capturing just a snipit of what we spend countless hours doing behind scenes 🤪🙌🏼💃

🐎 Welcome back to the stage…. Elvis! 🐎

This hunk of “Burning Love” has found his way back into our care from adoption due to no fault of his own. 🖤🤎🤍

His adopter took exceptional care of Elvis in the 3 years that she had him of which we are incredibly thankful for.

Elvis is an 11 y/o Shetland pony gelding standing at 38” in height. He’s a gentle little guy that “Can’t Help Falling In Love” with the mares who by the way are “All Shook Up” over his handsomeness.

Elvis appears to have enjoyed a bountiful of groceries in his home, so he is now on a diet to shed a few pounds, to slim down for Summer. Elvis said “That’s All Right” and seems to enjoy his soaked forage diet with supplementation. Otherwise, he has no other known health concerns.
“Don’t Be Cruel” and show him some love. 💕

Welcome back to “The King” of the pastures… Elvis. 🤎🖤🤍🐎🤍🖤🤎

Our very own ‘Calamity Jane’ but you may know her as Betty White, posing with some absolutely wonderful donations from our supporters!

HUGE shoutout and thank you to both Cathy & June for these bountiful donated goods straight from the horses Amazon Wishlist as well as Loree Arrington for your donation of a brand new and precious little miniature blank!

Our organization feels blessed beyond belief to have such a large and dedicated group of supporters. Your continued support helps to provide a safe haven of love and quality care here at our facility to once abused, abandoned, neglected and or unwanted equines. 💕🐎🙏🏼
