Each of these sweet souls has a journey they’ve been through to come to us and we are so happy to care for them. Please take the time to meet our newest residents, read their stories, and consider helping our cause.
Daisy was the first rescue we committed to bringing to our farm from the TN Kill Pen. Daisy was a little girl's trail horse that went blind. Unable to be a trail horse any longer, the little girl's grandfather brought Daisy to auction at the TN farm. We knew Daisy deserved better than to be cycled through the auction circuit, We posted bail and committed to bringing her home.
Winston was the second horse from the same TN kill pen that we committed to bringing home. He only had one eye, had been to various auctions. He was recently moved to the shipping pen. If no one stepped up, he'd be on the next trailer to the border. His outcome would not be good. We got help with his bail and committed to bringing him home.
Grace was the third and last TN kill pen horse we committed to bringing home on this run. She is an appaloosa with moon blindness. She would not do well through the auction circuit. The foundation that helped us post bail for Winston also worked a miracle and helped us with Grace's bail.
Maggie was on the same trailer that came from TN. Although we did not commit to rescuing her, no one showed up to pick her up. We made room in the quarantine pen and welcomed Maggie home. SHe's a thoroughbred with vision in only one eye. I loved her spiciness from day one.
We received a phone call from a concerned citizen late December 2023 about an injured duck. We brought Abe home and nursed him back to health. He was pretty beat up. He adjusted to our farm and is part of our muscovy flock doing muscovy things. Abe will stay at our farm for the rest of his life.
The rescues arrived the night of January 8th, 2024. They were hungry, exhausted, scared and sick. We committed to taking 3 and wound up with 5. Although crowded, we made the best of the situation and gave them the care they desperately needed.
Unfortunately, we lost Duke on February 28th. Although he had only been with us for a short two months, we grew to love Duke. Please visit his page to learn how lucky we were to be a part of his journey.
The other four are now out of quarantine and in the larger pasture. Grace and Daisy are companions. They are always together and 'feel' for each other when they wander from each other. Winston and Maggie are companions as well. Maggie can be spicy towards Winston but he still adores her. It's comforting to see them safe and happy.
