Flaxen is OVER IT! And honestly, we’re ALL over the mud!!! 😂🌧️

We’re adding more sand to the stalls today and moving stall mats around again to make sure everyone has at least SOMEWHERE to stand that isn’t mud or water! If you’ve never tried to move a stall mat that’s been suctioned into the mud, just be thankful they’re heavy. 🤣 Nothing like a full-body workout trying to pry up a 100-pound mud magnet! 💪🏼😅

The track from rotating horses between Gen Pop, stalls, the paddock, back to Gen Pop, the yard, and everywhere in between is STRAIGHT MUD! 🫠 Boots aren’t even an option anymore 😬

If anyone is able to donate some pellet bedding or shavings, it would help us tremendously!!!! If you place an order, we’ll happily pick it up! Just please shoot us a message and let us know.

Picture of the shavings we need is below. ❤️

Every little bit helps, especially when we’re fighting Mother Nature AND a whole lot of mud!

🎃 Halloween is this weekend! 👻

With that being said, after festivities are over if anyone has any unpainted pumpkins or leftover hay from hayrides, please reach out to me! 🧡

Even if the hay got wet or isn’t good enough for horses anymore, we can still put it to good use for the piggies! 🐷❤️

Happy Halloween yall!

Also! Today was drag day! 🤣 Best 5 seconds of my entire week when there’s NO 💩! 🙌🏼😂

I was asked today why I can’t keep a HEALTHY horse here at the rescue. It’s a simple question, but the answer is a little more complex.

My heart breaks every time one of our horses gets adopted. It’s so bittersweet. I want to keep them all! I never want any of them to leave. ❤️ But the reality is, we are not a sanctuary, and we are not horse hoarders.

Our healthy horses (with the exception of our lifers) are adopted or leased so we can continue making room for the next horse or donkey that needs us.

And those adoption fees? They hit the bank account and leave just as quickly. 😂 EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. goes right back into these animals. Hay, feed, vet care, dental care, hoof care, medications, supplies, and everything else it takes to keep them healthy and happy.

If we kept every single horse or donkey that came through our gates, we would quickly reach a point where we couldn’t help anyone else. We’d run out of room, resources, and the ability to take in the next animal that desperately needs help.

As much as I’d love to have a hundred horses running around here, that wouldn’t be fair to them or to the ones still out there waiting for their second chance.

Rescue isn’t about how many animals you can keep. It’s about how many lives you can change. Sometimes, the best thing we can do for a horse is find them a loving home where they can thrive, so we can open our gates and help another one. And trust me- I vet the hell out of every single adopter and a strict contract is signed.

Trust me, letting them go never gets easier. But knowing they’re loved, cared for, and living their best lives makes it worth it every single time. And it means there’s room for another one who needs a second chance. 🐴❤️

That’s why we do what we do. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came by our booth yesterday to say hi! ❤️ We saw lots of familiar faces and got to meet lots of new ones, too!

Between donations and shirt sales, we raised almost enough to cover the farrier bill for this upcoming week! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Every little bit helps keep these babies taken care of, and we appreciate y’all more than you know! 🐴❤️

We are NOT okay but the horses are!😅 Mud and water EVERYWHERE. I’ve always wanted water front property, but not this kind! I’ve been stuck in the Gator more times than I can count today. Thanks to Colin or I’d still be stuck!

The ladies (and Trouble) are wet, but Gen pop is still in decent shape for now. The boys have been moved to higher ground, which means panels had to be moved too. Stall mats are next to move to ensure everyone has some dry spots. Farm chores have been fun this week- Some spots in the yard I’m literally mid-calf deep in mud. 🫠

Send loads of sand. 🤣
Send help. 🤣
Send a friggin’ BOAT at this point! 🚤😂

We are officially living up to the name! We are a SWAMP! 🐴🌧️🫠
