You know that feeling you get when you see a horse laying down in the sun and you’re not sure if it’s ☠️ or colicing….. that’s exactly the feeling we got this morning when we saw this message come across Facebook !!! 

It’s Facebook not us 😏😁🐴

The horse-human bond is extraordinary, but the strongest evidence points to trust, body language, physiology, and emotional regulation rather than a unique electromagnetic connection. 🐴❤️

Yes, that’s a burger that was dropped in the creek!

Story time: we take Ebony, MB and Tess on a trail ride to neon moon to get cheeseburgers!

What better place than the creek to sit on the back of a horse listen to the waves, wind in your hair birds chirping .. you know what I mean..

Well Bentley goes to hand the to me, the paper bags rips, burgers go splashing..

Toby to the rescue, he jumps off grabs the burgers, wrapped in wax paper so kinda okay we ate them anyway!

Sooooogy burger never tasted so good: why?

At that moment that’s all that mattered. The rest of the world was silenced. The peace in the creek and the air around us. The ambience of riding 3 horses that were saved, trained and just took the best care of us!

Which one you want to see started training next?

Mox & Bang came out of the kill pen last fall. We have rehabbed them, have had them up for adoption but no one has been interested.
Now we have time to fit one into our training program which one you want to see?

🚨 HELP WANTED 🚨

Do you enjoy long walks to the feed room, deep conversations with horses who ignore your advice, and finding hay in places hay should never be?

If so, Shepherd Mountain Horse Rescue might have a job for you.

We’re looking for a dependable barn hand to help keep our rescue and training facility running. Fair warning: this is not a job where you spend all day taking selfies with cute horses. This is a job where you earn every ounce of dirt on your boots.

🐴 Duties Include:
• Feeding horses
• Cleaning stalls
• Filling water tanks
• General barn chores
• Helping care for rescue horses
• Keeping the facility clean and organized

👌🏼THIS IS NOT A RIDING POSITION- but the room to grow & learn horsemanship skills.

Requirements:
✅ Reliable transportation
✅ Strong work ethic
✅ Ability to lift feed, hay, and survive Arkansas weather
✅ Comfortable around horses
✅ Ability to follow directions

ABSOLUTELY NO DRUGS
NO PRIOR CONVICTIONS

We’re looking for someone who shows up when they say they will, works hard, and understands that rescue horses depend on us every single day.

The pay isn’t in horse kisses… but there will probably be horse kisses.

Tess, ride 10 and she’s absolutely making the best girl. We knew she was special. We just didn’t understand how special!
Incredible mare.
