A volunteer day? Oh boy! Come help out, hang out, and get some good food! We will be sorting donations, processing downed trees parts, doing some deep cleaning and organizing, and getting some pony snuggles in of course!

Hi friends!

We are going to do a volunteer day/potluck barbecue this Sunday, the 27th! It will run from 10 to 4, and folks are welcome to come for as long as they would like! We will have tasks for people of all physical ability levels and equine experience levels.

Please RSVP so we know how many people we are parking. Wear closed toed shows and clothes that can get muddy! If you think you'll want work gloves, please bring your own as we don't have any loaner pairs left. Looking forward to seeing you all there and happy to answer any questions!

Please be aware that our sister program will be VIRTUAL ONLY this weekend due to inclement weather!

With the threat of snow and freezing rain this weekend and the low low temperatures, we have made the decision to offer Virtual lessons this week instead of our usual in-person lessons. We will have an AM session, and a PM session. One session will be educational (nutrition, coat color, breeds, anatomy, lots of options!) and the other session will be a group fitness session. Lesson students- you are welcome to attend as many sessions as you would like, and if you have any particular things you would like to see included in an education session, let us know!

Reminder: we are open BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. We are run exclusively by volunteers who have very busy lives. Please DO NOT just show up, contact us first so we can set up a time and make sure the animals we have available are suitable for your needs. We also have to have documentation signed before you arrive on site for liability.

Last weekend, several of our partner programs students participated in the 4-H summer show. These dedicated students have been incredible to watch as they learn and grow- all from the partnership that comes with Rescue!

Our friend Espeon is ready for her new home! She will need to be spayed per our adoption contract and will need shots. She is not thought to be currently pregnant. Espeon could be a good barn cat, but we suspect with time and patience would prefer to be an indoor princess. She's already got the hang of using her litter box!

Espeon is one of many feral cats that come through our area, and we do our best to either TNR or adopt them out. Small adoption fee applies!

Yesterday, as one summer began, another ended. Summer Season, the second horse ever to be rescued here, passed away. He was the gentlest giant, and we'd like to think the beautiful sunbow we saw yesterday was his road home. Summer had a rough start to life, as a premarin baby, but thrived under our founders care for many years. He was a true oversized puppy dog, dropping his nose to the ground so the littles could reach him for leading, brushing, and bridling, but he reeeeeally hated baths! Summer was part of our lesson program, and then retired to live his best life with his buddies. Rest easy big guy, your quiet, gentle presence will be sorely missed by all of us here.

Sad news this weekend. Our beloved gentle giant, Mr.Darcy flew over the rainbow bridge following a twisted gut colic episode. This is not the outcome we wanted for him, and we deeply grieve the giant hole he has left in our hearts and program.

And, since our wonderful vet came to attend Darcy, we made the difficult decision to let our sweet golden boy Shorty go at the same time. Unfortunately there was nothing left to try to save his feet and he was tired and told us he was ready.

This double whammy has left our staff and volunteers heartsore and sad. But we are forever grateful that we were able to love them both for as long as we did. Fly free boys, run wild together whole and healed.
