Ranch Happenings: 11/16-11/22
Sunday, November 16th 2025 "Well, we’ve faced one every horse owner’s worst fears and come out on the other side. Colic Surgery. Cyrus has kept us all guessing these past few days and again this morning started showing discomfort. The suspicion of displaced colon that still hadn’t corrected required us to make the decision of surgery or likely euthanasia. Since Cyrus’ prognosis was very good, we determined to give him a fighting chance. Once he was in surgery, we learned we m

Rescue Blog Update: 11/10/2025: Dove and Sparrow
Sparrow continues to take in every bit of his refresher training and accellerate. We're now trotting under saddle and have the beginnings of cantering. At some point, someone put a lot of work into him and taught him how to work well. He is now a bit "out of practice" so it takes a minute to convince him that he actually wants to work again, but he is so smart that he picks everything up quickly and moves forward. We're so excited for whoever ends up adopting him. He will be

This isn’t reserved exclusively to “helping” programs, as it is seen to a degree in every industry involving horses. However,

Rescue Blog Update: 10/20/2025: Dove and Sparrow
Sparrow has officially had his first ride since rescue! It went great and he has certainly had some training at some point in his life. He also was able to be turned out in the big pasture with some of our other horses for socializing and to enjoy being a horse. He quickly established himself as the leader of the herd and has likely done so his entire life. It was fun watching his expressive movement as he stretched his legs being outside of the rehabilitation pen for the f
