Whiskey has gone to Looking Glass Acres with Alex for training! He is in very capable hands. They have made leaps and bounds with Blue, we have high hopes for Whiskey

Well we wouldn’t be HRR without a stallion🫣 a local animal control reached out with this studly creamello mini and his beautiful but standoffish overo paint companion! Meet Cassanova and Ace! These handsome fellows arrived today💕 Cassanova is ALL stallion in a TINY package🤣 Ace is very tolerant 🥹

Whew what a day! A HUGE shout out to Reagan Equine MVS for spending almost the whole day here!

Levi has been gelded!!! Ashe and Ember both got radiographs and have a long road to recovery, but at least they have a chance! Wild man Whiskey got done today along with everyone at the farm! Shots, coggins, teeth and sheath! Its been a LONG, expensive day; but everyone is quietly eating! We will take the win🥹🫶

Please donate if you can. Today’s visit was several thousands I am sure. But horses like Levi, Ashe and Ember got second chances only thanks to YOUR generosity!

We lost them… Phoenix and Nova gained their wings. There is something to be said about the sheer toughness of an Appaloosa. Those radiographs were absolutely nauseating! No hoof, no horse… that is the card that was dealt to these two poor souls. The had a good afternoon of pain meds, grazing and then they were laid to rest together.

My heart breaks because their bodies were preventably broken, their minds absolutely still ok… just years of neglect and suffering had become the normal for them. These are the worst euthanasias.

Im done for the night. Please forgive me because Ive took everything left to assure the rest had all they needed for the night. We will start over tomorrow! 🫶😞

Last but not least is Ember. She appears to be in the best physical condition of the four and also is in need of some hoof care. She’s definitely up in age, but still has some s***k in her. She’s very sweet and hopefully with some good foot care and dental work can have some quality years left in her.

It is incredibly sad to see these beautiful creatures tossed aside with their mental and physical health disregarded to this point. Well, her care will not be as expensive as her three stablemates, she will probably still cost close to $1000 to get where she needs to be. Please consider donating any amount to help us help this beautiful mare.

Ash is a beautiful aged mare that was apart of the group from this am. She is in better body condition but we have concerns about past/current lamanitis…

She is beautiful and sweet. I am somewhat optimistic we can help her! This group of 4 came from an area animal control agency after being discovered in a variety of poor conditions and having been locked in stalls for approximately 3 years.

We need your help to assist these 4 horses. Their total bet bills will be in the thousands. Please donate any amount if you can.

Next in this group is an aged APPALOOSA STALLION🫣🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 (we expect nothing less around here) named Phoenix. He is a skeleton of what was once probably a vibrant example of the breed😞

He too has extremely bad feet and we are hoping he can be squeezed in for radiographs today as well… he looks to have previously foundered and is painful so may have an active case as well.

Again, he medical care alone will be in the thousands because once all basic care is met. Weight returns, he will be gelded!

Please donate! These horses need our help and we only achieve that with your support!

Nova is one of 4 horses that arrived today at HRR… we are partnering with Penderosa Rescue & Sanctuary on this case from a local animal control agency. This crew will start here ( all the vet care and re-feeding start up) and finish at PRS.

Nova is in serious condition (in my opinion) aside from emaciated, lack of basic care (hoof, teeth and grooming), previous and /or current lamanitis; her right hind injury has been neglected to the point of an emergency visit NOW! She also probably has some good old Appaloosa uveitis in one eye too impairing her vision.

However she is sweet, willing and shockingly ambulatory!

Her radiographs will determine her quality of life and if today is the start of a long road to recovery, or her last here😞

The vet bills on this group will be in the THOUSANDS. Xrays, teeth, shots, coggins; farrier work and special feed as they are all long in the tooth…

Please dig deep and donate any amount that you can! We can only help horses like this herd with your support! 🥹🫶

There is something so rewarding about a horse, especially a stallion that chooses to trust you despite all he has been thru! He clearly doesn’t NEED me… he has acres of grass. His weight is better, but every visit he chooses to meet me🥹🫶
