It's💲5️⃣ Friday, and we have a lot of gravel/sand orders for the rescue going on.

Orders include the following...

---Bruno's paddock has had dead tree removal and has been expanded by twice the size. This will need stone, gravel, and then finished off with sand. $814

✅ Carmela's field had a bit of wash out on the hills from Peony running them down and will need a fresh top off of gravel so they don't slip and slide. $175

✅ Donkey Dave's Daycare Center has been expanded. It will need another layer of gravel $275

---Ivy's paddock has been cleared of the dead trees and expanded this year. It will need one layer of gravel and one order of fine soft sand. She loves rolling. $450

---Ponies area was expanded and will need gravel.
$275

---Last area on our list. We also have a trail we created that will help get the trolley closer to the feeding area for the expanded horse trails in the forest. This will save our strength from hauling hay and water up the mountain to them. It has been physically demanding but it's worth it to have them enjoying life running through the pine trails! That would be around $275.

Any help is so appreciated toward one of these summer paddock projects. If you want your donation to go towards a specific project just let me know! Thank you so much! 🤎

Tiny Tuesday! This special boy wanted to say hello. He has grown into such an independent, social love bug around here. A far leap from the shy little baby that arrived, disconnected and sullen with his head down.

He didn't trust humans because of all the crazy medical intervention that had to happen to save his life early on. In the end it was all worth it, because he lives as a healthy and happy big boy, now trusting of a human's touch as if nothing bad ever happened at all.

We took our time with him knowing he was going to be with us forever. Gave him space to grow in his own way. He loved smelling the flowers and one day as I watched him in the field, he brought a flower to me. I knew he was saying thank you. From that day on he opened up more and more just like all the flowers he loved so much. Each spring I plant flowers in his field just for him to discover. It makes him so happy.

Precious Tiny bright and beautiful as the flowers under the sun. 🌼 We are so proud of his journey. 💛

I have a special video for you! This Memorial Day, as we honor the sacrifices of our brave service members, we are reminded of the beauty of freedom. Just like those who fought for our liberties, the equine at Donkey & Draft Rescue are embracing their newfound freedom in a stunning forest, bathed in sunlight filtering through the leaves. The birds above them chirping in synch with their curious steps in their beautiful new private piece of forest. This day serves as a reminder that freedom comes in many forms, and every animal also deserves the chance to live a life filled with love, freedom and happiness in a nurturing environment. Let us honor the spirit of sacrifice by always ensuring that these beautiful souls can run free in the sun drenched fields they deserve. Thank you for your support everyday and for helping us make a difference in their lives. Your donations and support made this expansion possible for them today. A new shelter, and field during the summer months. This video is of their first reaction in their new area and it is just so heartwarming.🌲
