October 2017 We had a great time joining Sinkland Farms again for their Annual Pumpkin Festival! We brought 30+ horses to their farm for the month of October to offer trail rides through our Ride-A-Rescue program. Thank you to all our patrons who made donations, went for trail rides, and spread the word about our Ride-A-Rescue program. We hope to see you all out at the farm for more trail rides soon! We appreciate our wonderful volunteers, who spent their Saturdays and Sundays out at Sinkland Farms with us to help make this effort a reality! |

DIESEL NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Update on Diesel, 7/18/2017:
He is officially healed from his surgery and gaining weight back gradually. Today Diesel will be introduced into the main herd at the barn. Please say a prayer that he adjusts well, and will fall into his new life as a gelding without too much commotion or pecking order arrangements! Please consider donating to his medical expenses!

Diesel is one of the newest additions to our rescue that needed a phallectomy to survive! We have his surgery scheduled but we need your help raise $900- $1000 to help cover the cost of the surgery, medications, recovery care and start toward his nutritional improvement.
The last year of life for Diesel and his previous owners has been very hard, life had thrown them many curve-balls and they were managing to stay at bat but this most recent curve ball (Diesel injuring himself) was a swing and a miss. Diesel's previous owners were not ready put him to sleep but they could not afford all the cost of his surgery to fix him. So they called us to see if we could help. Due to the nature of Diesel injury he needed a drastic surgery so he can continue to urinate. He will have a phallectomy and need to be castrated at the same time in hope to prevent him from injuring himself again. Surgery holds some high risks for this sweet boy due to his body condition and the degree of damage he inflicted upon himself...which is why we are asking for your help! Would you please consider donating to help Diesel!? No donation is too small, and every little bit helps!Without people like you, horses like Diesel would never have had a second chance! |
