Have you seen “Benfry ? He is a grayish tan tabby with large feet and an M on his head, The owner is offering an $800 reward for his return. He has been missing for over a year now and recently she decided to hire an “Animal Physic” who has told her that he is skinny, moving slowing, has a pot belly and is near a water trough where there are a bunch of other animals, he so kindly also provided her with a map with a pin located at our farm, oh Yah ! So needless to say this poor lady spent hours here this morning calling for Benfry, she told me she felt a spiritual connection with the horses while tromping through the fields and has discussed it with them and employed their help to find Benfry, she said she could feel his presence here and was covered in goosebumps ! She will back next week to continue her search. she was incredible kind and brought me flowers and a microchip reader to help us find the homes of all the abandoned cats that get dumped off at the rescue, if you have seen Benfry (or know of any cat that looks like Benfry) please reach out and help this poor lady put an end to her search !

Good info !

HOME TO HOME ADOPTION AVAILABLE

Meet Houdini ! She is a very sweet quarter horse mare. She is 18 and a very easy keeper when it comes to food. She has great ground manners is broke to ride and use to trail riding. In 2015 she began having trouble with her right front foot. When evaluated they said it was navicular. It has never bothered any other foot. She is happy to wander around. The grandkids get lead around on her. She would make a great companion animal or pasture pet. She is her owners baby but unfortunately she can no longer care for her due to a genetic heart problem herself. Adoption fee $500, if you are interested in this pretty girl and can offer her a lifetime home please reach out to me to meet her, located in Athol, Idaho

Can you imagine the fear these horses go through in this process, please mark your calendars, join in and voice your concerns during this online opportunity to be heard !

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will hold its annual, legally required public hearing regarding the use of motorized vehicles in the management of wild horses and burros from 1-3 p.m. MT on May 23.

🔴 To comment during the virtual public meeting, members of the public must register in advance by May 5 at https://tinyurl.com/yc7493px

🔴 Written comments may also be sent by 3 p.m. MT on May 6, 2025, to [email protected].

The BLM uses helicopters to drive and trap wild horses, trucks to move them to off-range holding facilities and adoption / sale events, as well as helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft to conduct population surveys.

The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) amended the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and B***o Act to allow the use of helicopters and other motor vehicles for herd management. FLPMA requires that the agency conduct the annual hearing.

In its ongoing effort to reach population targets for herds that the BLM itself sets, the agency relies on capturing and removing wild horses and burros from the range.

The BLM continues to stall the use of proven, safe and humane fertility control. Fertility control could slow herd growth, without stopping it, and, if properly and robustly implemented, replace capture-and-removal as the agency’s primary management tool.

From May to September of this year, the BLM plans to capture and remove 5,414 wild horses and burros from the range while treating just 53 with fertility control.

When helicopters are used to capture wild horses and burros: the animals are extremely stressed, fearful and often driven for miles over uneven ground, standard operating procedures often go unfollowed, and mares and foals can easily become separated. Conducting them during the summer makes horses more susceptible to heat stress and dust exposure.

We continue to advocate for scaling up fertility control as any lesser removals are accomplished methodically with bait-and water-trapping techniques, in which horses or burros are lured into temporary enclosures made with livestock panels.

This is an old post I did in 2020 but its one of so much importance, the power of prayer and having faith is what guides me, hopefully the one person that needs to hear this today will see it and they too will be saved !

I have a horse here at the rescue that has been in rough shape for a couple days, she is colicing, a horse that colics can easily die, it is very difficult to treat, there are certain steps I take and medications I give prior to a calling a vet because as a rescuer I have experienced it numerous times and have learned if the steps I take don't work I know it is very serious, beyond my capabilities and is likely a twisted gut or a blockage that requires surgery or euthanasia, I have done everything I can possibly due for her, including prayer, a lot of it, day and night, but she continues to deteriorate, nothing I have done is working and I’ve done everything in my powers and have been taught by the very best to do, her head is just hanging to the ground, refusing to eat or drink or even move, when she does move she just wants to go down and roll, I decided at this point not even a vet could do much more and would recommend a trip to WSU that would be more then the rescue could afford and most likely she wouldn’t survive so I decided to have her euthanized, I was mad and angry that the lord was letting this happen and not helping me save her and we had a conversation, I said “ I cannot do this, this one is on you, this is your choice if she lives or dies, do not put this one on me , please help me help her Lord”, as I sat and cried and pondered on this my phone dinged, I got a notice a friend had posted something on Facebook, thru my tears I looked at it and it was a quote that said

I don’t know who needs to see this right now but Isaiah 60:22 says

“ When the time is right,
I the Lord, Will Make it happen”
Sleep in peace tonight,
God is in Control

I read the quote, and thought out loud to myself “ok Lord, I hear you and I have faith in you”, “i will let it go through the night, I will sleep in peace tonight and not spend every minute with worry, I will put my faith in you“ (and maybe check on her every 5 minutes on the cameras)🙏🏻 I slept well and woke up feeling peaceful, today was different then yesterday, I could feel it, my worry was gone, I pulled up the cameras as I prepared to head to the farm, here is this horse that was surely at deaths door, she is playing, rubbing, running around, eating and drinking, peeing and pooping as if nothing had happened, she was bright eyed and bushy tailed.....so full of life.....in that moment I realized, while I had been praying all week and doing everything I could to save her life, I still remained worried and burdened over her, it was not until I read that passage that I truly let it all go to god, had full faith and he did not fail me !

As a Rescuer, I have always said “It is gods work we do here “ we do it on a wing and prayer, sometime when there is not enough, no options left that is what you have to do to keep on going,

I just wanted to say “Thank you” to the person that shared that quote yesterday and let them know it was ME, ME who needed to hear it for I had lost faith and felt hopeless, because I have been blessed with the miracle of god in my life I feel moved to pass it forward and share it with all of you and

I don’t know who needs to hear it right now but Isaiah 60:22 says

“ When the time is right,
I the Lord, Will Make it happen”
Sleep in peace tonight,
God is in Control

Amen
The Horse Rescuer
