🛑 Whoa there — Sarge and Springer are here to share a quick announcement!
We’ve been stalling on letting you know that good ol’ FB has been horsing around and causing issues with our access to Messenger. We’re sure you realized we haven’t been as responsive lately; we know we can’t put anything pasture! 😉 Until FB can rein in this issue, we’re asking you to contact us via the next-best version of the electronic pony express — email us at [email protected] ! It would certainly behoove us not to miss anymore messages from our awesome herd of supporters and clients. 💛
Thanks for your understanding — and if you’ve got anymore good equine puns that apply to this situation, please drop them in the comments. We could sure use a good chuckle during this situation! And we’ll let you know when our Messenger is back up and galloping! 🐎
— Elaine and the JAHRS team

We were at the Wellness Through Camo Event today at the Neillsville High Ground. What a beautiful memorial for veterans and a beautiful day.

Millie crossed the rainbow bridge today.

Millie was surrendered to us in 2023. She had been rescued from a kill lot and found a home with her new owners' three Arabian horses. Millie, being a nervous Tennessee Walker with a blind eye, ended up being picked on by the Arabians and her owner felt she would do better at our sanctuary.
Millie was still at the bottom of the herd hierarchy here, but there was plenty of space for her to keep her distance but still be a part of the herd. She and Sarge built a special relationship and were often seen close together.
Millie recently became totally blind and, being in her early thirties, was having a hard time with it. We felt the kindest act to give her was to help her transition home.
Millie was a favorite of the staff and many of our volunteers and will be missed by all.

🐴 HELP US KEEP OUR RESCUE HORSES HEALTHY 🐴

At Just A Horse Rescue and Sanctuary, every horse who comes through our gates deserves safety, care, and a chance to heal. One of the most important parts of that care is keeping them protected through routine vaccinations.

This month, we are raising funds to cover essential vaccines for our 23 horses. Vaccinations help protect them from serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses such as tetanus, rabies, West Nile virus, and equine encephalitis. The cost to vaccinate one horse is $48 for a total cost of $1,100.

With so many horses depending on us, these medical costs add up quickly — but we cannot do this without our community.

Here’s how you can help:
• Sponsor a horse’s vaccinations
• Make a one-time donation of any amount
• Share this post to help us reach more supporters

Every dollar goes directly toward vaccines, keeping our horses safe, healthy, and comfortable.

A healthy horse is a protected horse — and your support truly makes that possible.

Thank you for believing in rescue horses and giving them the care they deserve. ❤️

They will learn all this and more in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Our riding camps for ages 8-12 are June 11-13 and August 13-15. We are also offering one for ages 13-16 on July 16-18.

Coltan and Tuck were both gelded today. They are both doing well. I'm sure Tuck is a bit unhappy with the situation but all the mares really appreciate it!
Coltan is now available for adoption. If interested, please message, call or text for more information.

Thank you to all who shared the day with us yesterday for our Open House. It is always great to meet new and see old friends. Special thanks to our Board Members who, without them, we could not share our mission.

It is going to be a beautiful day! Come on out and join us, have lunch, learn about our programs, take a tour and meet the horses, or just enjoy a day with them. We hope to see you.

These horses are still looking for homes. We do need an approved adoption agreement, however, the adoption fee is waived.
