Jasive and her mama Sonia came to visit Thursday. Blue knew that there was a very precious baby on board. Blue is our-most mischievous resident and all who have met him know what we are talking about lol. He is also a very loving soul, and today he was welcoming our up and coming volunteer. We are so grateful for Jasive’s dedication and so happy that she is more than a volunteer, she is family.❤️

MESSAGE FROM THE RESIDENTS OF THR: Our humans here at the Refuge have been really struggling the last 10 days with Covid. We know that they are tired and worried about the needs here so we thought we could step in and try and ease the burden. We have many immediate needs that we need help with. Vienna’s vet bill, ($497), The farrier ($165) and help with feed (one week $220). We know that without you we would not have the life we have here. We want you to know how thankful we are. We have everything we need to make our lives happy here at the Refuge. Good food, good care and so much love. Thank you for making it possible for us to have this life for so many years. Summer has been here almost 16 years, Missy 14 years, Blue 4 years and Scout almost 2 years. PS. We would love for you to come and see us. 💕 Love Summer, Missy, Blue and Scout.

Message from Cathy, Founder: i’ve put this post off as long as I can. This has been a very somber week. We unexpectedly lost our matriarch Vienna this week to colic. Anyone who has met Vienna understands how hard this is because she was a very sweet spirit. She was 32 years young, had never been sick, and had great overall health . You just never know about these things, but they sure hit hard. It is expected in rescue when you deal with senior horses with most with special needs, but I really did not even fathom that we would be saying goodbye to her this soon. We will, as a team, be combining all of our wonderful pictures of Vienna and making a special tribute to her. She touched many people and will forever live in our hearts here at the Refuge. If you would like to help with Vienna‘s vet bill It would be so greatly appreciated (497.00) We want to thank Tina Miller for donating her last ride. You may donate directly to Dr. Saralynn at 530-565-6012 or at our PayPal https://www.paypal.me/TrinityHorseRefugeCA, visit our website at www.trinityhorserefuge.org, or our Venmo or Cash App posted below. Thank you for all of your support and thank you for allowing the Refuge to care for Vienna for over 12 years ❤️.

From the Founder: 💕Have you ever had one of those days where you just wanna crawl back in bed and wonder if you have what it takes to make it to the finish line? That’s where I am today. We lost Vanna after a long, five months of treatment to try and fight internal pigeon fever. It was hard and stressful and now my heart is broken because we couldn’t save her. She was a beautiful mare and she really tried to fight. Money has been at an all-time low for donations. We have managed with the help of our sponsors and friends to pay the vet bills and buy the weekly special feed that Vanna needed along with supplements and everything that we could think of to keep her going. I have had to get a loan to cover our feed at the Bangor Feed store and if it weren’t for that we would have closed. We appreciate all that they have done for us over the years, especially letting us carry our bill until donations came in. As it stands right now, Trinity is in the biggest pickle they have ever been in. Harlan has been out of the cubes we normaly feed which means we’ve been buying single bags from tractor that’s a close match. The Hay that we recently bought is not palpable to the horses, and they will not eat it. I have nothing in our accounts to purchase more feed. I have four bales in our horse trailer that are unusable to us. We do have enough grain for the next week. I need your help.. I have got to get money coming in because I personally cannot finance Trinity. If we can’t at least get our feed covered we are going to have to close. I am asking if you read our post can you please share it? Can you please donate five dollars? Can you please encourage your friends and your family to help us? Since we are no longer at Bangor Feed, we have to pay for our feed upfront, that is going to take a little bit of time for us to build our finances up to meet the weekly feed bill which is around $300 a week. There is light at the end of the tunnel for us. Around September or October we will be getting a large donation. We are wading through paperwork right now. We just have to make it till then. I do not want to give up this fight when relief is just around the corner. I am asking that if you are able to please help us.. Sincerely, Cathy, Founder of Trinity Horse Refuge.

Thank you to our hero’s: Sharon Giampapa, Leona Harris, Lenore Wright, Lynn Halstead, Tina Slack, Linda Hunter, Kim Brady, Steve Roach, Susan Hughes Katherine Leahy, Marla Mason, Natasha Lauria, Jackie Tam, Stacy Savoca, Kimberly Kennedy, Kimberly Kinjo, Pam Raspa, Lenessa Rasmussen. Please forgive me if I missed you.

We are so grateful for the out pouring of support we received in raising funds for out vet bill. We paid $950 and now only owe $400. Thank you❤️❤️❤️. Yuba College RT program came out for the 5th year and spent the morning with the horses. They did complete exams, bloodwork, fecals, and West Nile on all the horses. Dr. Kyle and some of his students even pooper scooped for Cathy (Cathy has been out of commission since her hip surgery.) One of the students happen to be very uncomfortable around Horses. She was in a group that was treating Vienna our oldest resident (30 yrs young). Vienna is the calmest mare you will ever meet. She’s kind, quiet and loving to everyone. When Jasive left that day she told Dr. Kyle she no longer felt scared and unsafe around the horses. She had no idea that they could be so gentle. Since the Colleges visit, Jasive has been coming out weekly and helping Cathy, learning more and more about these gentle giant’s she was once intimidated by. We never know the depth our residents can help people. We just know they are magical when someone comes needing encouragement, healing or just cheering up. Your donations have helped to many people to count over the years, again, thank you. If you would like to make a donation towards our daily needs, you can donate using PayPal at https://www.PayPal.me/TrinityHorseRefugeCA, Venmo or call Bangor Feed directly at 530-679-1429. Thank you for believing in what we do.❤️❤️❤️

WE NEED HELP!!! This is Cathy, I know it’s been a minute since you have heard from Trinity. I’m sorry about that, trying to take care of the horse’s and dealing with Vannas illness along with my own has been exhausting. I know things are going to get easier but it has been a very trying few months. Vanna and Scout finished three months of a special antibiotics and are doing so much better. Vanna, as you can see lost so much weight, no matter what we tried she literally would not eat. Her appetite is returning and I for one am so grateful. There were many discussions on quality of life but Dr. Saralynn was encouraging to keep trying. I’m so glad we did. She is currently eating Alfalfa hay, grass hay, senior feed, and soaked cubes. Anything to keep her eating and gaining weight back. Along with the extra feed there has been several vet visits, bloodwork, and medications. Both horses need bloodwork again to make sure of their recovery and Scout also needs to be checked for his diabetes. The Refuge is carrying a $1300.00 vet bill and before we add anymore we need to get this paid. I really need help in providing for the horses. It feels like we are sinking a bit and the burden is weighing so heavy. Please help if you can. No donation is to small. If 10% of our followers donated 5.00 it would be paid. Please consider donating, sharing and praying. Not only does the horses need you but I need you too. To donate via PayPal click on our PayPal at https://www.PayPal.me/TrinityHorseRefugeCA. You may call Dr. Sara directly at 530-565-6012. You can also donate through Venmo. Thank you for all your encouraging words. We are healing together.❤️

I have tried to write a post several times over the last few weeks. I really thought I would be back to my spunky self by now but this recovery has really slowed my body down. Rest assured I am getting back to normal slowly but surely. I fed for the first time this morning and it felt so good to be out with the horses. Faith and Brianna have done an excellent job making sure everyone was cared for over the last 7 weeks. I could not have recovered so well without their help. Through this recovery Vanna and Scout battled cases of internal pigeon fever. Vanna was critical and there were many discussions about quality of life. Scout had ulcerative pigeon fever and suffered with very sore skin, loosing most of his hair on his legs and other spots on his body. I am so grateful to Dr. Saralynn for providing such good care of them. Both are doing so much better and Vanna is starting to regain some of her weight. She is not out of the woods yet but it is encouraging to see her appetite return. Since our last post we have made several trips to the feed store which none have been financially covered. There is also vet bills for Vanna and Scout which include the exams, blood work and a lot of meds that need to be covered. I am praying for a miracle to be able to meet the needs that the Refuge has right now. I am so grateful to you that donate monthly because the Refuge would not be here if it weren’t for you. Would you please share this post and ask your friends to do the same? Comments also help our posts get circulated. I know it’s hard to ask for donations but could you ask for other ways to help such as yard sales, car washes to help get the Refuge out of this red hole they are in. Thank you for standing with the Refuge while I got a new hip. I should be good as new soon and am looking forward to a few new moves in the pasture, getting some projects done and adding some fun fundraiser’s. Just know that you are truly loved and your dedication is not taken for granted. If you would like to help in anyway or knows someone who does, here is our info.
