This is a very special volunteer appreciation post for a very special person.❤️🐴

Today we are spotlighting Laura Hudd, our miracle worker and head groundwork trainer here at Longmeadow!

Laura started volunteering at Longmeadow over 10 years ago. After spending her time studying horse behavior and attending countless clinics on groundwork behavior, she wanted to find a facility where she could use her skills to help troubled horses. She found Longmeadow Rescue Ranch and thought it would be a good opportunity to put those skills to good use. She started volunteering...and the rest is history 😉

If you know Laura, you’ve likely seen her calm presence and equine training experience in action, whether it be during one of her groundwork classes or on any given volunteer day. The qualities that Laura possesses when it comes to groundwork training make her an invaluable part of the Longmeadow team, especially when working with our rescued horses, mules, and donkeys. Saying that she has been a huge influence on sending our equine to their forever homes would be an understatement. From halter training foals to teaching untouched horses their groundwork skills and everything in between, Laura has been there for it all and has watched the hard work she put into that training pay off when those equine load onto the trailers to go to their forever homes.

When asked about her typical day, Laura says she spends her time "dedicated to working with difficult horses who have lost their way and helping them learn to trust humans and live in our world." She says it's a true privilege—one she never takes lightly—to be part of a horse’s journey as they transform their fear into mutual trust and respect with a human.

We are so extremely grateful for the knowledge Laura has brought to Longmeadow Rescue Ranch and the lives—both human and equine—she has changed since she began her volunteer journey with us. Thank you for being such a huge part in our mission of rescue and rehabilitation, Laura! We could not do this without you.

It’s with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Barn Buddy chicken, Olive Oyl.

Olive Oyl found her way to us as a stray back in 2023. She was missing half of her beak, extremely underweight, and we just weren't sure if she was going to make it. After lots of vet care and much-needed TLC from our staff, Olive Oyl made a complete recovery. Her kind demeanor while being cared for immediately made her a staff favorite. Once she completed her rehabilitation, we didn't have to think twice about making her a part of the Barn Buddy Coop!

Olive Oyl wasn’t just any chicken...she was a one-in-a-million feathery bundle of personality who stole hearts wherever she went. Whether she was "loafing" around the Ranch, clucking her opinions to the staff, or sneakily scoring her favorite snacks from Dana, Olive Oyl made every day just a little more fun.

Her favorite place to be was Dana’s office, where she happily played the role of honorary assistant on Zoom calls and took her daytime naps.

We’ll miss Olive dearly, but we’re so grateful for the joy she brought to all of us. 🫒❤️

If you have a favorite Olive Oyl memory, please share it in the comments below. 💗
