Happy Thanksgiving from Florida Rescue Ranch!

Today, as the sun rises over the pastures and our animals greet the morning with soft nickers, brays, and gentle snuffles, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude.

We are thankful for every soul who calls this sanctuary home…the seniors who’ve found peace, the once fearful who now trust again, the goofy, stubborn, sweet, and sensitive personalities who remind us daily why this work matters.
And we are deeply thankful for YOU…our community, volunteers, donors, sponsors, families, and friends —who stand beside us, cheer us on, and make it possible for us to give these animals the love, safety, and dignity they deserve.

At the Ranch, we see gratitude in the smallest moments:
✨ a horse relaxing into a soft exhale
✨ donkeys gathering for their morning scratches
✨ a goat leaning in for a snuggle
✨ a dog zooming through the pasture knowing they’re safe
✨ a pig rolling in mud by the water hole with a satisfied grunt

These everyday acts of comfort and connection are here because of you.

Today, we hope your tables are full, your hearts feel light, and you’re surrounded by people and animals who bring you joy.
From our herd to yours, may your Thanksgiving be peaceful, warm, and full of love.

🧡 Thank you for being part of our Florida Rescue Ranch family.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Venus and her emotional-support mini horse, Max. ❤️🐴

Venus and Max are truly inseparable — they eat together, nap together, and go everywhere side-by-side. Their friendship has become one of the sweetest bonds here at the ranch.

When Venus arrived in April, she was in rough shape. Found as a stray in Palm Beach, she was skin-and-bones with several serious infections. At 25+ years old, she’s considered one of our higher-maintenance girls, and after her initial surgery didn’t fully heal, we discovered an infection in her hip bone. Rather than put her through another major procedure, we chose the kindest path: letting her live her life to the absolute fullest, surrounded by love, comfort, and companionship.

The wound on her hip has finally stopped weeping for now, and she’s working through the itchiness that comes from the medications and treatments she endured. Through it all, we’re doing everything we can to keep her happy, comfortable, and thriving.

A few months ago, she found her soulmate in Max — and from that moment on, the two have been completely devoted to each other. She cannot be without him, and he takes his job very seriously. Their friendship is pure, healing, and beautiful.

We’re so grateful to be part of their story. ❤️

🌟 Motivational Monday 🌟

Life doesn’t always go the way we plan. Sometimes we wake up with a full schedule… and sometimes a beloved horse comes in barely able to walk, and everything shifts in an instant. Last night, Cyrus, one of our sanctuary sweethearts, came in from the 16 acre pasture struggling to even move. Today became a full reset: rearranging pastures, moving herds, adjusting routines, and making sure every animal was exactly where they needed to be for safety and care. 🐴💚

Moments like these remind us that when plans fall apart, panicking doesn’t solve the problem…presence does. Just like our rescues, we learn to breathe, stay grounded, and focus on the step right in front of us. Compassion first, calm second, action third. And somehow… everything falls into place. Sanctuary life teaches us that even when the unexpected hits hard, we are stronger, clearer, and more capable when we respond with calm instead of chaos. 🌿✨

Here’s to a week of steady hearts, flexible minds, and the confidence that no matter what changes — we can handle it. 💪❤️

Say prayers for Cyrus! We are not sure what exactly is going on yet. Hoping to have the vet out asap! Farrier was out last night to assess him 🙏. Thank You Wendy Jordan Apf-i🤗.

He is getting one of his many Red light therapy session in this photo❤️.

When you wake up early start feeding and someone’s walks around the corner covered in paint….you might have an issue😳😂

Lucy and Ricky dumped a 5 gallon bucket of paint from the roofers and decided it would be fun to roll in!

Never a boring day here at the ranch!!😂😂😂

Brrr… it’s a chilly morning at the ranch! 🥶
It was a feel like temp of 36 degrees when I woke up at 5 AM to check on everyone. After making sure all the animals were cozy and fed with plenty of hay to keep them warm, the temps kept dropping—but their bellies stayed full and happy!

After all that, I finally got a quiet moment to lay down and snap a few selfies with sweet Zipper ❤️

It’s been a busy couple of weeks here at the ranch, but mornings like this remind me how grateful I am for the simple moments of peace, love, and connection with the animals.

Wishing everyone a beautiful, heart-warming day—no matter how cold it is outside. ☀️💞🐴

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY:

☀️ Living in the Present Moment ☀️

Our minds are always racing — replaying things that happened yesterday, worrying about what might happen tomorrow, and juggling never-ending to-do lists. It’s easy to get lost in the swirl of thoughts and forget that life is happening right now, in this very moment.

Here at the Ranch, the animals remind us daily how to simply be. 🐴 The horses aren’t thinking about yesterday’s storm or tomorrow’s feed delivery. The donkeys aren’t worried about what comes next. They live right here — in the soft sway of the breeze, the warmth of the sun, and the rhythm of their breath.

They feel deeply, respond honestly, and then let it go. They remind us that peace isn’t found in the past or the future… it’s found in the present.

So today, take a cue from the animals. Slow down. Feel the ground beneath your feet, take a deep breath, and notice the beauty right in front of you. Because this moment — this breath — is the only one that truly matters. ❤️

🍪❤️ Thank You, Thelma jeans bakery!❤️🍪

We are beyond grateful to our beautiful friend Casey at Thelma Jean’s Bakery, who recently donated $1,000 to help care for the animals here at Florida Rescue Ranch!

Thelma Jean’s Bakery has been giving back 10% of their vegan baked good sales to support rescue animals — and Florida Rescue Ranch was one of their recipients this year!🐴🐷🐔🐶

Their kindness (and delicious treats!) are making a real difference in the lives of the animals who call the ranch home. From our senior horses and playful pigs to our curious goats and gentle donkeys — your generosity helps keep every belly full and every heart happy. 💕

We are so thankful for community partners like Thelma Jean’s Bakery who share our mission of compassion, kindness, and second chances.

If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and show them some love Peterson Groves on Saturday mornings….because doing good never tasted so sweet! 🍰✨

Donkey Kong was very thankful and wanted to be a part of the picture with the big check❤️😂🫏
