Rescue Success Stories
My only volunteer and best friend.
I had met Dianne a few years back, when we had rescued a mule. I had invited her to come check out the rescue. She came, I introduced her to everyone, it took her a while to get comfortable with all the residents. She came back nearly everyday and helped me clean pens, water, take care of the injured etc..

Cupid - A Story of Love, Fate and Happy Endings
Some people make extravagant plans on Valentine's Day. Some people get surprises. On February 14, 2019, I headed to pick up what would ultimately be the best Valentine’s Day surprise I have ever received. I answered a call from local law enforcement about an emaciated horse that needed help. They weren’t sure if he was going to make it.

Veteran Makes all the Difference Volunteering
Curtis, in his late 70's, a Vietnam Veteran, and an active horseman (or in his words, "a try to be horseman").Because of the pandemic, we also had to cut back on our staff, on our horse in take, and overall, our annual budget to stay afloat as we didn't know how it was going to effect the rescue as a whole. Rain, snow, wind, it didn't matter, Curtis came out every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to muck pens and stall, feed the senior horses and give meds to those that needed it, help winterize the equipment, groom the horses, whatever needed to be done that day, he did it!
