Hello followers!!

It has been brought to my attention this morning that I have someone going out of there way to stir up drama regarding this little rescue!
(Actually it's the same internet drama queen as last time...... just by proxy 🤪🤣🤣).

**edit 7/2: I keep getting messages that this same "winner" of a person is continuing to "slam" this rescue in any way possible.
I guess if that's their preferred hobby or their version of therapy....... 🙄🤣.
Maybe the added attention to this page will help find homes for my last rescue posted here still looking for a home?
(C'mon drama seekers....... at least go and LOOK at her 😁😉).
Throughout this entire period of unnecessary drama, said "winner" has had me blocked. I assume because the actual truth isn't nearly as sensational and isn't going to garner any outrage or donations (again, 🙄🙄🤣🤣).
All while posting from an alias name...... on behalf of yet another drama queen too cowardly to just use her own name and voice (yet AGAIN, 🙄🙄🤣🤣).
Anyone ACTUALLY interested in truths is still MORE THAN welcome to reach out and ask me! I haven't got anything to "hide", lol.
I'm far too old and have far better things to do than to chase down internet dramas though!! 😜

I openly commented that I was more than happy to openly discuss....... but OP chose instead to block my comments (shocker!!).

I really DON'T need to add to drama in the rescue world, so let's just focus on a brief explanation, and try to have something POSITIVE come from a lousy situation!!

It was brought to my attention Friday afternoon that a horse that had been adopted from this rescue back in October was just pulled from a kill pen by another rescue.
Said rescue liason was polite and correct in making me aware of the situation, and together we worked out what went wrong in this adoption (family issues), and secured a gameplan for this poor c**t (person that currently has him would like yo keep him).

Now that this specific horse and situation has been "dealt with", going forward, here are some things that might be helpful in future situations.
This applies to ANY rescue!

If you see a horse come up for sale, at an auction, worse yet in a kill pen..... DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE RESCUE IS AWARE!
Take that 30 seconds to drop a text and ask!!
If you aren't sure but think a horse *might* have come from a rescue...... take the time to ASK!
I promise, any rescue person that I know of would like to know and have the opportunity to intervene!

For example, in this week alone i had a rescue friend message to ask if a horse she saw at auction might have been one of mine. She WASN'T........ but if she had been, the 30 seconds she took to snap a picture and send that message could have been life changing for that horse!
Same week, another horse showed up "for sale" that I believed had come from another rescue. I took the 30 seconds to forward post to said rescue. Lo and behold....... rescue was able to rediscuss adoption contract and offer return placement!

If you are an adopter and CAN NO LONGER KEEP YOUR HORSE....... say something! Rescue may or may not be able to take the horse back ........ but I'm sure ANY rescue would want to at least keep tabs on the horse and would at least try to help with rehoming!

If you are an adopter who "made a mistake" rehoming your horse and it ended up in a bad situation or a family member "did something" to get rid of your horse....... SAY SOMETHING! The sooner the rescue knows, the better it will be for the horse!!
I promise, unless you are deliberately deceitful with me when you adopt, I'm FAR less concerned with "going after someone" who might have violated their contract as I am about actually making sure the horse is ok!

Offer to HELP! This should go without saying as far as life ethic in general 🙄
When it comes to rescue though especially, if one REALLY cares about the animals...... they should do what they can to help rescues to effectively help the animals!!
Sometimes this means a PM or a phone call saying "what the H do you think you're doing with this situation?!". Sometimes it's monetary help. Sometimes it's taking 15 minutes out of your life to let a frustrated rescue vent a little bit!

Which brings us to PART 2:
What is NOT helpful in these situations!!

Public drama in internet groups (I mean...... REALLY?!). Most if us are grown ass adults (excuse the language). Middle school days and correlating middle school style dramatics should be LONG behind us all! 🙄🙄🙄

Attempts to slander a rescue as part of a personal vendetta (you know who you are! 😉).
Inappropriate! Also, refer to above paragraph, lol.

Rescues fighting over a specific rescue horse, or outbidding one another at auction. Again, really?? There are more than enough horses in need, I promise!!

Rescues putting down one another!
Again........ how is this helpful to the animals in any way?? Don't like a specific rescue? That's OK! There are LOTS of people I don't like either!! I'm just not petty enough to try and start drama online with them, 😉🤣.
Just click on the 3 dots at the top of the page....... and "unfollow".
It really is THAT EASY, lol

Long rant over now! 🙂 Appropriate questions, discussions, or observations via PM absolutely welcome, any time!!

For the internet warriors that just want to stir the pot....... OMG, GET A HOBBY!!

I saved the best for last!

Introducing Winx, a stunning 17-18 year old grade qh mare with fancy rabicano coloring.

Winx stands 14.2, and with her short back and somewhat petite build, she's a nice size for a smaller woman or teen rider.

Winx is very well trained under saddle, and has a good "handle" to her. She moves well off of both leg/seat pressure as well as light in the bridle. She does neck rein as well.
Though ive had several beginners/ kids rude her woth no problems at alk, she can have a bit of nervous energy, and she does like to get out and GO, so a confident advanced beginner and up rider would probably be the best fit for her!

I've personally been riding this mare off and on for the last 6 months. She rides well in the arena as well as on trails. Really prefers to ride with other horses, but she will ride out alone with no funny business.
On the ground Winx is easy to handle. Fly sprays, bathes, blankets, stands for the farrier perfectly. Sometimes paws when tied, but doesn't do anything worse than that. Trailer loads and unloads with no issue.
Overall quiet, calm and willing disposition!
She is very good in a stall, but prefers full turnout with open stall access (I only stall at feeding time usually here).

Winx is MISSING AN EYE, but has been that way for quite awhile, and isn't really bothered by it or spooky on that side.

She has had recent chiropractic, farrier, utd on dental, dewormer, Vax, etc.

I've overall enjoyed having this mare for over half a year here, but she's ready to find her forever family now!!

***Amara has found her person! ***

Where are my Arabian lovers?
Amara is a beautiful 13/14 year old grade (as far as I know) Arabian mare, standing 15 hands.
Pretty girl is full of life and absolutely LOVES to run! Smart, willing, friendly. Loves attention, and of course treats!
She can be hit or miss as to whether she will stand to be caught or throw her tail up in the air and run a few laps....... but not horrible to catch even out on large pasture.
She handles well on the ground; respectful of your space, leads well, ties fine, trailer loads and unloads, good for the farrier.
She is broke to ride for a confident rider that isn't afraid to get out and GO a bit.
She will walk just fine...... but doesn't want to be constantly held back either.
Amara is an absolutely beautiful mover, and is fully sound to my knowledge!
NOT spooky or crazy!
Very well used to cows, 4 wheelers, tractors, dogs. Low end of herd pecking order, and gets along well with any other horses I've put her in with.

Utd on Vax, dewormer, farrier, dentist, coggins, etc

***Tawney has been ADOPTED! ***

Absolutely gorgeous senior qh type (grade) mare seeking her forever family!
Tawny was purchased recently by a friend through a local auction as being a 16 year old, but after a visit to the dentist it was determined she is actually in her early 20s....... and unfortunately had to have quite a few rotten teeth pulled.
Tawny will need a diet of soft feed (currently 8 cups of proforce senior plus a full bucket of soaked alfalfa/beet pulp/rice bran) from hereon out!
The person who purchased her is not able to do that, hence why she is up for rehoming.
PLEASE BE REALISTIC AND COMMITTED ON YOUR ABILITY TO FEED THIS WAY BEFORE CONSIDERING THIS MARE!!!

Besides for the dental issues....... this mare is awesome!!
She is gentle and likes attention. Usually easy to catch, even out on pasture (occasionally she runs from the halter for a minute or 2). She ties nicely, trailer loads and unloads without fuss. Stands to be tacked up.
Bathes, blankets, fly sprays with no problem. Great for the farrier.
Not spooky, not hot, not a deadhead either!
Measured at 14.3 hands

Under saddle she rides a little rusty...... as if it's been a while since she was ridden regularly.
But she rides WELL.
W/T/L with no issues, never offered to do a single thing "bad" for myself or for my 10 year old son.
Crosses water, goes through brush, rides out away from the other horses, leads or follows.
I think she would benefit from a little tuneup by a more experienced rider....... but then seems to be a good girl that about anyone could get along with!

Tawny has been vaxxed, dewormed, had her teeth floated, feet trimmed, a visit with the chiropractor recently.
She does appear completely sound (to my knowledge) with no maintenance.

She's looking for her "happily ever after" home committed to seeing her through her golden years, even once she's no longer "useful", whenever that day comes!

She's an absolute favorite here!!

**Houdini has found THE BEST forever home! 🥰**

This handsome boy has spent the winter with a wonderful foster, but he's more than ready to find his FOREVER home!

Meet Houdini, the friendliest, nosiest, has to check out EVERYTHING and everyone kind of horse on the place!
Houdini is a 6 year old Poa/Gypsy x (allegedly) gelding.
Stands 13.2 hands
He is smart, sound, fancy mover, LOVES people!!
You don't have to worry about "catching" Houdini! If he sees you in the pasture...... here he comes looking for treats or attention!!

Houdini also ties, trailer loads and unloads, stands well for a patient farrier (he's a little nervous, but never offered to do a thing "bad).
He fly sprays, stands to have his fly mask put on daily, blankets and bathes with just a little patience and encouragement.
REALLY, this horse will do about ANYTHING for you with a little patience and encouragement!!!
He is allegedly broke to drive as per a previous owner. He is NOT actually broke to ride, but has had a rider on his back with no fuss, and was ridden at the lot I pulled him from and did GREAT!

Houdini is NOT going to be one of those horses you just throw out to pasture 90% of the time!!
He is MISSING AN EYE, and that eye was removed specifically because he had inoperable Squamous Cell Carcinoma covering over 1/3 of it when I got him!!
It is IMPERATIVE that Houdini wear a uv flymask whenever he is out in the sun!!!
He may also need some sort of uv protection on his nose and possibly other body parts as well throughout the summer, though is currently not having any issue without.

Houdini is a little nervous currently on his newly blind side, but is adjusting well and getting better every day. He is naturally NOT a spooky horse in personality and that helps a ton.
He gets along with about everyone in a mixed herd, but can be a little possessive of mares in season.
I do think he would be BEST in a "boys only" herd (though he's been fine in a mixed herd most of his life).
Highly prefers full turnout with barn or shelter access, but stalls ok as needed.

Houdini is a young and very active horse. He LOVES to run and play in the pasture, and would probably do best with another young horse and/or an active and engaged human.
He LOVES to fiddle around with anything he can find; his flymask (once he's gotten it off), a random halter, the "stuff" out of a farrier bag...... anything is a potential toy!!

Though he is kind, sweet, gentle...... he would NOT be a good fit for a beginner child, grandma, or anyone not confident around horses AT THIS TIME!
WITH APPROPRIATE TRAINING and lots of wet saddle blankets, he does have a personality that might make him one of those horses....... but he is currently young, green, and adjusting to vision loss.

Houdini is pretty special to me, so best fit of a forever home going to be very important!!!

***Hattie and Maddie have found their forever family!! ***

Who needs a super sweet pair of halflingers??

These babies were recently pulled from a kill pen, in absolutely AWFUL condition.
They are just finishing their 30 day qt (no sickness), have been powerpacked plus a round of dectomax. Teeth floated. And they've both gained SUBSTANTIAL weight and condition here!
I don't typically adopt out horses until they are "all the way" in good shape....... but these girls have had everything done to set them up for success already. Not really any reason they couldn't go ahead and go to a forever family willing to continue their feeding regiment sooner rather than later!

As per their previous owner, Hattie and Maddie are mother/daughter. They've been a driving pair their entire lives, though they are perfectly happy to let kiddos ride.
They are SUPER friendly. Extremely easy to handle. Great to blanket, bathe, fly spray. They tie well, trailer load/unload well, etc
Only "quirk" or bad behavior I've noted is that they sometimes paw the gate at feeding time 🙄🤣. They are understandably VERY food motivated, lol.

Previous owner thought the girls should be 16/19. My equine dentist thinks more like 20/23.
Hattie is a little sore/off in her hind end, but NOT "lame". She had apparently fallen and been stepped on in a crowded trailer prior to my getting her, and that could be the cause. Prior owner insists she had been sound before he sold her just recently.
Vet did not find anything obviously wrong; no swelling, heat, obvious issues. I haven't been able to get a chiropractor out as of yet.

Past that, both seem to be sound! Both have gained easily 200 lbs over this last month, but both will need probably another 150 lbs yet to go.

I don't believe these girls need to be put into "heavy work" ever again....... but they'd love a semi retirement where they could maybe teach beginners to drive, pull around a cart or wagon sometimes, or just have kiddos to enjoy a pair of gentle ponies!
Both girls are extremely outgoing, brave, careful. I'd trust them with tiny kids or handicapped individuals as much as I'd ever trust ANY living creature with a mind of its own!

They've had LOTS of exposure here to 4 wheelers, bikes, tractors, kids of all ages, sheep (including brand new lambs), alpaca, goats, cows, construction noise in close proximity.
They've never so much as batted an eye over ANYTHING!!

These sweethearts are located in mountain view Arkansas.
They are looking for a great home committed to being their "forever family"!!

***Aurora has found her forever family! ***

The prettiest girl on the place is starting the search for her forever family!

Aurora is a 13-14 year old Halflinger/qh x.
She stands around 14.3, and is nice and stocky. Very well built girl!

Aurora is not only gorgeous, she's friendly, seems to genuinely love people, and is well behaved for just about anybody!
Good with her feet, bathes, fly sprays, ties quietly, trailer loads and unloads with no fuss.
She is gentle under saddle (or ridden ba****ck), though doesn't really "know anything fancy".
She is said to drive as well, but I haven't personally tried her with that.

Now for the "BAD"........
Aurora is NOT FULLY SOUND at this time!!
She has PREVIOUSLY FOUNDERED and has had pretty nasty subsequent hoof abcesses sometime in the past (circumstances unknown), and also has a bit of arthritis? in her pelvis.
She is currently working on corrective trimming to slowly get her feet back into shape.
She is on Equiox currently to help her stay comfortable, and also is on a joint supplement (osteomax) daily. She has had chiropractic, and would do best with continued chiropractic periodically!

Aurora needs someone familiar with (or willing to become familiar with) the rehabilitation and care of a previously foundered horse!
She will most likely need to be drylotted at least a good part of the year as well.

For the time being, Aurora seems fine to pack around light riders for very short rides (like around the pasture). She may very well be capable of lots more once her feet are in better shape....... but I cannot guarantee that will be the case!
She would also make a great therapy horse, or a friendly companion for another horse that has to be drylotted. Aurora is very low in herd pecking order, and seems to get along well with just about everyone!!

This girl is another that I'd REALLY like to keep....... but I just can't claim them all 🙄😜🤣

Utd on farrier, dentist, chiropractic, Vax, dewormer, etc
