🐴 NEW HORSE ALERT! 🐴

This past week, we welcomed Malcolm to BCHR. ❤️

Malcolm is a 29-year-old Thoroughbred who spent many years as a lesson horse at Jamaica Bay Riding Academy in Brooklyn, carrying countless people around that ring and faithfully doing the job asked of him.

When Jamaica Bay announced its closure, Malcolm’s future became uncertain. Thankfully, he had a guardian angel looking out for him — Tina. ❤️

Tina stepped in when Malcolm needed her most. He was undernourished and suffering from a significant case of rain rot, a bacterial skin infection that can cause painful, crusted lesions and hair loss. Over the last several months, Tina poured her time, love and resources into his rehabilitation. His skin and overall health have improved tremendously, and she gave him the foundation he needed to begin healing.

Then Tina made the selfless decision that comes from truly loving a horse — she knew Malcolm needed more.

At 29 years old, he had done enough. He didn’t need another job or another lesson program.

He needed his soft landing.

Grass beneath his feet. Open space and turnout. A herd. Time to decompress and finally just be a horse.

And waiting here at BCHR was another senior who needed a special friend — Ranger. ❤️

Well… we think we’ve found him.

Malcolm and Ranger have absolutely fallen in love with each other. 🥹

This is what it’s all about. Horses don’t always have to work, perform or serve us. Sometimes, after giving so much of themselves to people, it’s our turn to serve them.

Tina, thank you for loving Malcolm enough to give him this next chapter and for trusting us with your boy. ❤️

Welcome home, Malcolm.

You’ve done enough. Now you just get to be a horse. 🐴❤️

‼️RANGER UPDATE — Just Over 30 Days. ‼️

Our mission in action. Caring for horses, mind, body, and soul.

It’s been just over 30 days since Ranger arrived, and looking at these two photos side by side really tells a story.

When Ranger came to us, he was suffering nutritionally. He was underweight and had lost muscle, but what we could see on the outside was only part of it. His bloodwork showed that his body was under strain, and you could see it in his overall condition and in the way he felt.

We quickly learned that Ranger’s dental issues go far beyond neglect. His teeth are severely compromised, and he will never be able to chew normally again. So we created a diet specifically for him—one that works around his limitations and allows him to eat comfortably and actually get the nutrition his body needs.

And just over a month later, it’s showing. He’s gaining weight, rebuilding muscle, and his coat is brighter. He looks better, but more importantly, he feels better.

Every morning Ranger heads out for his two-mile walk, and he spends his days grazing and surrounded by the other herds. He isn’t turned out with another horse just yet, but he’s never far from the company of them.

And then there’s Ranger’s personality.

He greets everyone he sees with the sweetest little nicker. It honestly feels like he’s saying “thank you” every single time. He is such a gentle, grateful soul, and we absolutely love him.

This is what caring for horses mind, body, and soul looks like to us. It’s not simply giving a horse a safe place to land. It’s learning who they are, figuring out exactly what that horse needs, and giving them the opportunity to feel good and enjoy being a horse again.

Ranger has come a long way in just over 30 days, and something tells us his story here is only getting started…

And if all goes as planned, Ranger may just have a new friend to share his pasture with very soon.
❤️🐴 Stay tuned…
