🫏💛 Cream's Baby Watch! 💛🫏

This is the face of a mini donkey who is VERY proud of herself right now. 😌

Meet Cream — who has decided she is holding her baby hostage FOREVER. We're just over here waiting... and waiting... for her to finally release this cute little hostage of hers! 🤰✨

That's why she's stalled up — she's on official baby watch, and she is in absolutely no hurry whatsoever. Come on, Cream — we need to meet this baby! 🍼💛

Drop your guesses below 👇 — boy or girl? And when do you think she'll finally give in?

🐴💛 Meet Whisper! 💛🐴

This 14-year-old Walker cross has turned into a total puppy dog! 🐶

The moment people walk in, Whisper is right there — following you around and making it very clear: she needs scratches. *Really good* scratches. And if you try to walk away? Oh no, she wants MORE scratches. 😄

You could scratch this sweet girl all day long and she'd still be asking for more. This is what trust looks like, folks. 💛

Whisper isn't quite ready for adoption just yet — but she's getting there, one scratch at a time. Come meet her and try to resist those puppy-dog eyes. (Spoiler: you can't.) 🥰

This beautiful 18-year-old mini mare is looking for her forever home! 🏡

With a gorgeous golden coat and flowing flaxen mane, Loretta is as sweet as they come. At 18, this gentle girl is past all the drama and just wants a soft place to land — a family to love on her, keep her brushed and shiny, and let her enjoy her golden years in comfort.

Minis make the most wonderful companions, and Loretta has so much love to give. Could she be the missing piece in your pasture? 🐴💕

💕 Bentley’s Story

Bentley was just 7 months old when she came to our rescue, and she was the very first horse we had come in who was afraid of women. Normally, it’s the other way around! 💔

The woman who had her was simply done with her, but what really got me was that she sent me a video of Bentley charging at her while she laughed about it. 😒

Bentley absolutely LOVED my husband and followed him everywhere, but she wasn’t too sure about me! She charged at me twice, so I definitely had to watch my back. The second time, I turned around, threw my hands up, and let her know I meant business! And guess what? She never did it again! She needed some guidance ❤️

From that point on, Bentley became an absolute sweetheart. She had a carefree personality and didn’t have a worry in the world, which occasionally got her into a little trouble! 😂 But we loved her so much, and it was such a joy to watch her blossom.

Last year, Bentley found her forever home, and we couldn’t be happier to hear how well she’s doing with her new family and her friends! 🏡❤️

Sometimes, all a horse needs is a chance, a little understanding, and someone willing to see beyond their struggles. Bentley just needed someone to believe in her. 🐾💕

We love a happy ending, and Bentley, you’ll always hold a special place in our hearts! ❤️

🤍 Happy Birthday to my heart horse, Cletus! 🤍

Oh, Cletus, what a special horse you are! You came into my life when I needed you most, and somehow, we healed each other. We grew together, learned each other’s boundaries, and built a bond that words will never fully explain. Somewhere along the way, you became my heart horse — the one I can always lean on, talk to whenever I need to, and find comfort in without ever having to say a word. ❤️

Your soft, gentle eyes and your sweet spirit have a way of making me feel like you’re truly listening. Sometimes, your eyes even wrinkle up depending on what I’m talking about — whether it’s Dixie getting hurt or the heartbreaking moments when we have to let a horse go. You’re always there, quietly by my side. And sometimes, you give me a little nudge as if to say, “Mom, it’s okay. Let it go.” 🥹🤍

You make me laugh, you comfort me when I need it most, and you remind me that sometimes the greatest healing comes from the simplest things — a gentle nudge, a soft look, or just being together.

And, of course, we can’t forget your love for cookies! 🍪 You know that word all too well, so we have to be careful saying it around you. Every time someone walks into the feed room, you’re watching closely, wondering, “Am I getting a cookie?” Nothing slips past you, Cletus!

You are the leader of the whole herd, and you wear that role so well. You have such a special presence, and I’m so grateful for the steady, gentle soul you are.

Thank you for coming along on this journey with me. Thank you for helping me heal, for standing beside me through the hard days, for making the good days even brighter, and for being exactly who you are. I love you more than you’ll ever know, and I truly couldn’t do this without you.

Happy Birthday, Cletus! 🎂🐴❤️ You will always be so much more than a horse to me. You are my safe place, my partner, my comfort, and a piece of my heart. Here’s to many more years of cookies, quiet moments, gentle nudges, and making memories together. I love you, my sweet boy! 🤍
