Day 1 post castration for this handsome guy. 😍
He'll need some time to heal up then we'll continue his training under saddle.
Hes going to make one heck of a riding partner.

We've often been asked, "Isn't it hard to let them go?" Or "Don't you want to keep them all?"

But honestly, finding a good fit and letting these horses go to amazing homes is THE BEST. We LOVE seeing the new connections, the happiness in both the horse and the human, and that is a million times more rewarding than keeping them all. ❤️

Eastwood recently went to his new home and now has a lovely little girl who is over the moon in love with him! 🙌

How awesome is that!

Seeking a companion type home for this sweet and kind 20 yr old mare.
Pardon has been a brood mare the last decade of her life and deserves to hang her hat from making foals.

Maybe you need a seasoned baby sitter? Or a companion for your ponies?
She is very kind, well behaved, ties, bathes and all the things. She's also lower in the pecking order and currently lives in a mixed herd.
No maintenance! She IS sound but we wouldn't recommend a riding career for her due to her swayback.

Hey rescue folks!

Any chance we can raise up some funds/donations for this beautiful sweet mare?

We've been hit with some big bills lately so funds are tight, but we'd REALLY like to buy this mare and keep her safe from anymore wild horse race events.

Unknown age but she could potentially be pregnant too!
She was used for wild horse race events which we believe no horse deserves. She's actually really sweet, kind and wants to trust humans again.

If you can contribute please send etransfers to:

A few photos of the current horses in our care.

Not all are handled, broke to ride etc etc so please only inquire if you're in the market for a potential project.

These are the kinds of things that can happen when you give the horse a chance.

A chance to find what they enjoy.
A chance to be healthy.
A chance to be a horse.
A chance to let them speak to someone who listens.

Huge thankyou 👏

Welcome to the ranch, pretty girl!
Pardon (yes, that's her name) is a lovely 20 yr old AQHA broodmare.
After getting her feet done and some time to settle, we'll be spending some time together to see what kind of home might suit her best.

Not very often we come across a thoroughbred this chill!
Selling for a friend so he is NOT a rescue, but he is a gem of a find!
Approx 10 yr old gelding standing 16hh. No lip tattoo (might be microchipped?)

Rides out solo, calmly, and seems to enjoy the trails. No buck bolt or spook at all!

Super green in the arena but could easily be brought along to do whatever you'd like. Comes with some good qualities from his past life where he ties, trailers, bathes and not much phases him.

He also LOVES people and is such a cuddle bug.
His price tag is roughly mid fours, but well worth it!

Send us a message if you think he might be your next riding buddy!

I enjoy this time of year so much! Finally the grass is a bit greener, the weather is nice but not too hot and the ponies have almost fully shed out their winter coats.

Yes it's I know it's June! But it's the Cariboo!

Letting the horses out to ensure I'll never need a lawn mower is such a highlight day to day.
Especially when some of these horses have transformed from feral and fearful to literally walking up your front steps!
