❤️ A Little Morning Rant From My Heart…

Some of my best thinking happens when I’m with the horses. Cleaning, filling fresh water buckets, feeding, and doing everyday chores. I’m sure many animal lovers understand. There’s something about that quiet time that lets your mind wander. And boy, does mine wander! Ha!

This morning, my thoughts turned to our donors.

With everything happening in the world, I thought about the people who support our Sanctuary. I love and appreciate you more than you know. But I never, ever want someone giving us money they need for themselves. Please take care of yourselves first. I mean that with all my heart.

I know I’m good at what I do. I’m dedicated, hardworking, and pour everything I have into these animals. But what I’m not good at is asking for money. It’s the hardest part of running this Sanctuary.

When a donation comes in, the relief is indescribable. It’s not just financial help. It’s encouragement. It’s knowing someone believes in what we’re doing. And sometimes, that’s exactly what keeps me going.

Adoption fees don’t mean we’re getting ahead financially. Vaccinations, hoof trims, gelding, and preparing horses for new homes often consume those fees. Then there’s feed, broken hoses, equipment, vehicles, repairs, and never-ending maintenance.

We’re certainly not rolling in money. We’re simply doing everything we can to give these animals the lives they deserve.

So here’s my little ask. If you can donate comfortably, without hardship, we’d be incredibly grateful. If you can’t, your love, shares, and encouragement mean the world to us, too.

When I started this journey, miniature horses didn’t have the rescue support they deserved. I couldn’t find it, so we decided to become part of the solution.

And here we are, still fighting for these little horses with the biggest hearts. ❤️

Thank you for believing in them. Thank you for believing in us. And thank you for letting me get this off my chest this morning.

With love and gratitude,

Good morning from So Cal Mini Horse Sanctuary! 🤎🐴

We’re looking forward to a wonderful, productive week ahead! There are always plenty of chores to tackle and little lives depending on us.

We want to send a very special THANK YOU to our wonderful Rescue Angel, Ms. Lynda, for once again thinking of our horses and gifting them these beautiful Himalayan salt licks! 💕

Salt licks are so much more than just a treat! Salt provides essential sodium and chloride, which help support hydration, healthy muscle and nerve function, and the body’s electrolyte balance. Horses need salt year-round, especially during warmer weather when they lose electrolytes through sweat.

It’s also important to remember that horses should always have access to plenty of clean, fresh water. Some horses may need additional loose salt and a properly balanced mineral supplement to meet their individual daily nutritional requirements. These little details are such an important part of keeping our animals healthy and happy!

It’s thoughtful gifts like these that make such a difference in the everyday care of our rescued animals.

Ms. Lynda, thank you for your continued kindness, generosity, and love for our little ones. We are so grateful to have you as part of our sanctuary family! ❤️

Wishing everyone a beautiful week ahead! 🐴🤎

❤️ To Our Wonderful Sanctuary Sponsors… Thank You.

We want to take a moment to recognize some very special people who quietly make such a difference in the lives of our animals.

Our sponsors are truly one of the lifelines of So Cal Mini Horse Sanctuary. Your monthly generosity helps us keep food in the barns, provide daily care, and give our animals the security and comfort they deserve.

Donations can be few and far between, and with our sponsorship numbers down, this time of year can be especially challenging. But knowing we have people who believe in what we do and continue to stand beside us means more than you may ever realize.

To every one of our sponsors, thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your understanding of what it takes to care for these precious lives, day after day.

Good morning from So Cal Mini Horse Sanctuary! 🌅🐴❤️

There is something so special about the quiet of the early morning here at Lost Creek Canyon Ranch.

My days begin at 4:30 AM, and I have come to absolutely love this routine. Getting an early start, accomplishing so much before the sun even comes up, and heading out to care for the animals as the sky begins to light up. This morning’s sunrise was a beautiful reminder of just how fortunate we are to call this place home.

We’re finishing up the last details of some wonderful adoptions this week, which is always exciting. Knowing that animals we’ve cared for and loved are heading into their next chapter with families who will love them just as much is what makes this work so rewarding.

With a storm expected in Southern California this weekend, we’re also busy preparing the sanctuary, securing everything we can, and making sure all the animals will be safe and comfortable. We never know exactly what Mother Nature has planned, but we’d rather be overprepared than caught off guard!

And through all of it, I find myself feeling incredibly grateful.

Running a rescue isn’t something everyone would choose to do. The early mornings, the long days, the responsibilities, and the unexpected challenges aren’t for everyone.

But we chose this life. And I’m so glad these animals have us.

Just as importantly, I’m so glad we have all of you. ❤️

Your kindness, encouragement, generosity, and continued support mean more than you could ever know. You are part of this sanctuary and part of every life we help change.

From our little corner of the world, thank you for being here and for caring about the animals who depend on us.

With love and gratitude,
So Cal Mini Horse Sanctuary 🐴❤️
