🐴💙 𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗠𝗘𝗧 𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛! 💙🐴

Well, well, well… 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘄𝗵𝗼’𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀. 😂

𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗼𝗰 seem to have found each other, and we can’t help but wonder if our little man has finally met his match!

Standing next to our big drafts, these two look almost ridiculously small. 𝗧𝗶𝗻𝘆? 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆. 𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘆? 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 💪😂

Anyone who knows Elliot knows he may be one of the smallest horses at Patch’s Place, but no one has ever bothered to tell 𝗵𝗶𝗺 that. He has enough personality, confidence, and opinions to fill an entire pasture.

And something tells us 𝗗𝗼𝗰 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗵. 😉

Watching these two get acquainted has been pretty sweet. Maybe it’s the beginning of a beautiful friendship, or perhaps the beginning of a 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆-𝗯𝘂𝘁-𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 the rest of the herd should be very concerned about. 🙁😂

Either way, Elliot may have finally found someone his own size, someone with 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲. 💙🐴

And something tells us the big drafts had better watch out! ⚠️

On this 𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙇 𝘿𝘼𝙔 𝙊𝙁 𝘾𝙃𝘼𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙔, we want to share a part of Patch’s Place that you may not know as much about.

Yes, we are a sanctuary providing rescued draft horses with special medical and emotional needs a safe, permanent home for life. But their story doesn’t end with being rescued.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝘁𝗼𝗼. 💛

We provide 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲-𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, allowing people to experience the connection, confidence, peace, and healing that can happen beside a horse.

We offer 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻, and during the school year, 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻, where kids can learn, grow, build confidence, and experience the magic of horses firsthand.

And through our hands-on volunteer experiences, people of all ages have the opportunity to get dirty, work hard, laugh, learn, connect, and become part of something meaningful.

Because we believe something very deeply:

━━━━━ 💛 ━━━━━
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚-𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.
━━━━━ 💛 ━━━━━

Every gift to Patch’s Place helps us care for the horses who once needed someone to show up for them, and allows those same horses to be there for people who may need them now.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲.

Hope and Doc are settling in beautifully, and watching them begin to realize 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 has been so special. But seeing Blondie finally with her herd, 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲, absolutely melts my heart, and is the sweetest thing of all!

This is the takedown we’ve been working toward for years. Twenty-five horses are alive today after New York State Police intercepted a slaughter-bound shipment from longtime kill buyer Bruce “Rotten” Rotz headed to Viande Richelieu in Canada.

Animals’ Angels investigators were on the ground tracking Rotz’s operation, and we’re deeply grateful to New York State Police for their swift action, with critical support from Senator Dan Stec and HORSEPWR in helping make this intervention possible.

And thanks in part to the New York State Humane Association, the horses are now safe and receiving the care they need.

Animals’ Angels has investigated Rotz and his slaughter-horse operation since 2009. We didn’t stop investigating — and this week, 25 horses got the chance they deserved.

Read the full story: https://info.animalsangels.org/25-horses-saved

Stay tuned. We’ll share more about these 25 horses — and what comes next for “Rotten Rotz” — as soon as we can.

🐴 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗟𝗬, 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 “𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗” 𝗔𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 😂

I’ve determined that if the horses have their way, there is absolutely 𝗡𝗢 such thing as ever catching up on chores.

Yesterday, while waiting for Doc and Hope to arrive, we were racing around in the afternoon heat trying to get everyone fed, alfalfa handed out, and everything finished before the new arrivals pulled in.

And somehow… 𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗜𝗧.

Everyone worked their tails off, and for once, we were actually 𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘, with time to spare!

We should have known better. 😂

💥 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗠. 𝗖𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗛. 💥

Down went a fence rail.

Yep. 𝗚𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝗻. 🤦🏻‍♀️🐴

Suddenly, some of us were keeping horses away from the opening, some were running for boards and screws, and the rest were grabbing tools.

And just like that, 𝗪𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗢 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞.

So I’ve officially learned my lesson: 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗢 𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗔𝗦 “𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗦” 𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗥𝗬. 😂

The moment you think you’re done, one of the 4-legged bosses will kindly remind their 2-legged servants to 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗢 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞. 😂🐴

Anyone else have animals who seem personally offended when you finish your chores early? 😂

Our sweet girl could use a little extra love right now.

Two days ago, Molly developed a light cough. Yesterday, it progressed to a runny nose and low-grade fever.🌡️

Thankfully, no other horses are showing any symptoms, and Molly hasn’t had contact with any other horses or animals.

But Molly is still recovering from her 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐛𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲 and the complications that followed, so even a seemingly small change gets our attention.

You can’t help but wonder what’s happening beneath the surface. Is something lingering from everything her body has been through? Is an infection returning? Or is she simply fighting something completely unrelated?

𝐖𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐞𝐭.

After talking with our vet, we decided not to take any chances, and Molly started a broad-spectrum antibiotic last night.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬.🩷

Her cough is mostly gone. Her nose has cleared up. And most importantly, 𝐬𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥.

We’re watching her very closely today and hoping those improvements continue.

So if Molly crosses your mind today, please send our girl a prayer, some strength, and all the healing energy you can. 🙏

𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲. 🩷

You’ve already overcome so much.

🐴💛🏡 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄, 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄 & 𝐃𝐎𝐂! 🏡💛🐴

For almost a month, Blondie has been waiting.

She ate well. She soaked up every bit of attention we gave her. She was safe and cared for.

But every day, she stood by the gates.

At dinner, while the rest of the herd lined one fence, Blondie quietly stood along the opposite one by herself. She wasn’t fighting with anyone. She simply wasn’t connecting.

𝐈𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞.

And the look in her eyes hurt our hearts.

Because sanctuary isn’t simply about keeping a horse alive. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐭, 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧.

So we kept asking ourselves, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠?

When Blondie was surrendered to our partner, 1 Horse At A Time Draft Horse Rescue, another horse named Doc was surrendered with her. They weren’t considered particularly bonded, but when Doc also needed sanctuary, we wondered if maybe he was the one she had been waiting for.

Then Hope needed sanctuary too.

Something in my heart said she needed to come with him, so I automatically said yes. Years ago, one of our first sanctuary horses was a Belgian named Hope. Maybe it was coincidence. Maybe not. 💛

Last night, the trailer finally pulled in.

Blondie followed it all the way to the back pasture.

Doc stepped off first.

She walked straight to him.

You could almost watch the tension leave her body.

𝐖𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫.

Then Hope stepped off the trailer.

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝.

Blondie, with her bone spurs, and Hope, with her shivers, 𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Then they took off trotting together across the pasture like two perfectly healthy horses without a care in the world.

That was it.

𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐜 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫.

𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞. 💛

All those days standing at the gate. All those dinners spent apart from the herd. All that waiting…

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

Within minutes, Blondie’s entire demeanor changed. She relaxed. She played. She stayed with her little herd instead of returning to the gate.

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞.

𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.

And suddenly, sanctuary truly felt like sanctuary.

Thank you to Jasmin and our wonderful partners at 1H@AT for making this reunion possible, to Anja for fostering, loving, and bringing Hope and Doc home, and to our entire Patch’s Place team for preparing for their arrival and loving these horses every single day.

Food fills their bellies. Medicine cares for their bodies. Shelter keeps them safe.

𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞 & 𝐃𝐨𝐜.

And Blondie, 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫. 🐴💞🐴

Tell us about it, we’d love to hear your story. 💛

🐴📦 THE HORSES GOT MAIL! 📦🐴

And judging by the excitement around here, you would’ve thought Christmas came early! 🎄❤️

There’s just something incredibly special about opening a package and knowing someone, somewhere, was thinking about our horses. 🥹

A HUGE thank you to Lauren McLaughlin and family for the amazing box of various treats, toys, and mineral salts! You absolutely spoiled the herd, and we are so incredibly grateful.

And a very special thank you to Linda Drescher and family for the bottles of Skin So Soft, because around here, it’s practically a necessity unless we want the horses carried away by the flies. 😂🪰🐴

Every treat, every bottle, every little thing sent our way means more than you probably realize. It helps us care for these horses we love so dearly, and reminds us just how many wonderful people love them, too.

From all of us (and a very spoiled herd), thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 💛🐴

Every afternoon, when the shade finally stretches across the pasture, the meeting begins.

One by one, they wander over, find their spot, and gather like a group of old friends with 𝗔 𝗟𝗢𝗧 to discuss.

We can only imagine the conversation…

“Did you 𝗦𝗘𝗘 what she did at breakfast?”
“He got more treats than I did.”
“Someone pooped in the water trough again.”
“And don’t even get me started on that pony…” 😂

Then there’s probably one who knows everybody’s business, one who starts the drama, and one who just showed up for the snacks.

No agenda. No hurry. Just shade, friends, and the daily pasture gossip. ❤️🐴
