Giving Back Has Never Been Easier

Jack and Ben. Inseparable. Jack is blind and Ben is his protector, though we’re not sure if Jack feels he needs one - he’s very confident, low key and independent. The most unblind blind horse you’ve ever met. But Ben feels he has a job and he clearly loves his best buddy.

These two were turned out for years with Glitter, our senior Arabian that we lost two years ago. They’ve now accepted Cricket into their group but these two maintain a very special bond.

We won’t rehome our two blind horses(Jack and Lucy), they’re so well adjusted and comfortable that we wont risk a change to that comfort level. So sanctuary horses forever for Jack, Ben and Lucy! We would never separate Jack and Ben.

All our other companion horses are available but this is their home if a family cannot be found for them.

Clean up day! Today was a day of a lot of smaller projects and clean up projects that often keep falling down on the long list of things to do.

We worked about 6 hours and then enjoyed some grilling and Portillos chocolate cake to celebrate a couple June birthdays(happy birthday Mike and Erica!) ! It was a physically demanding day but a great day!! Thanks to all the help!! ❤️

The goats have been pretty effective w**d control the last two years. But unattended yesterday and they decimated the good stuff as well. 🤞🏼 the hosts rebound!

Wow!

"This is animal cruelty. It's potentially extremely hazardous to the jockey. I mean these horses are going 40-50 miles an hour. If you're shooting them up with some kind of a stimulant like methamphetamine, you know, they could easily just have a heart attack right there. It explodes right in the track, the jockey goes flying off the horse and breaks his neck."

This is why we rescue.

Ellie (wasJani) came into rescue as untouched and feral, suspected reservation pony that came into a kill lot as part of a large group.

She was placed in 2019 and now she is a kid's horse! She is doing this course as a horse with sight in only one eye. She has always been amazing and she is dearly loved.

Best outcomes through second chances. ❤️

Strawberry moon was pretty low tonight so obscured by the tree line for the most part.

Some resources for those thinking about a track system.

Are you new to the world of track systems and natural horse care?

It's a confusing place at times, so here are some of my suggestions to get you started -

🌟 Reading Material 🌟

🔸️ Jaime Jackson 's Paddock Paradise: A Guide to Natural Horse Borading

This is the VERY first thing you should read or do, because without this book, you won't understand the why behind this way of life.

🔸️ Jaime Jackson's Laminitis: An Equine Plague of Unconscionable Proportions

Again, this is a must read to understand why setting up a track system will only get you so far, without understanding the importance of species appropriate living and diet. This is not just for those with Laminitic horses, but for everyone with a horse full stop.

🌟 Audio/Video 🌟

🔸️ Track Talk: A Podcast on Horse Track Systems does a wonderful job at sharing the experiences of track owners from all over the globe and providing easy to digest information on all things track systems.

🔸️Jaime Jackson's YouTube channel - https://youtube.com/?si=SvIcD1wOgNErN5aa

🌟 Groups 🌟

🔸️ Horse Track System is a wonderful community of track owners from all over the world. It's a great place to ask your questions, big or small, and find inspiration.

🔸️ Paddock Paradise Track System is a simular group to the above.

🔸️ Natural Horse Care Community is a smaller group, but ran by ISNHCP Practitioners, some of the best people to ask about natural horse care in my opinion!

🔸️ Barefoot Horse Owners Group UK is ran by a group of incredibly hoof care practitioners and is the best place to ask your barefoot questions.
