Sadie is home

After a LONG 18 plus hour journey, we finally pulled Sadie into the driveway at 4:30 this morning. She looks exhausted and confused. After spending her last unknown amount of days living in the mud and eating moldy hay, tonight she will sleep in a dry trailer with a thick bed of shavings, fresh water and soft green hay.

In the morning she was sweet as can be. She melted as I brushed her and gave hugs generously. There are no brown markings as it looks in the photo, all mud. She is a pure white pony. I have discovered that Sadie means princess, so this is Scouts princess pony with Tonto being her cowgirl pony !

Her stare reminds me of Little when he first arrived. Emotionally turned off....he had to do it for himself. Bought and sold so many times at auctions he did not want to love and loose again. She has that some look. Little didn't loose it for almost a year , I hope it doesn't take her that long.

I discovered a fatty lump at the base of her tail , the size if a grapefruit. What ever it is she will have a forever home and lots of children to love her .

We are still collecting for her rescue and vet care. Please chip in if you can, every little bit helps. Share with your friends. Sadie and the children thank you!

New Pony for HorseKids





A Pony Saved

 

This time it is really going to happen! I discovered the last place I tried to rescue from AC4H was actually a scam. My previous post is still up, my message is still important. Please look at it and if you have "liked" them on facebook you should unlike and not continue to share. 

I have found End of the Line for Horses who are legit. I have bailed out this wonderful 18 year old girl who is supposed to be very well trained. So sad that she was probably a wonderful friend to many children and worked hard for them.It breaks my heart that these soulful creatures end up in this situation after all they gave.

This girl, like the rest of our creatures, will never have to worry about that again. She is coming home to the Ranch. We decided to bring a pony home because there are so many HorseKids that are all riding our current pony angel Tonto. Now Tonto will have some help carrying all those precious children. Now Scout and her friends will be able to ride together instead of taking turns. So many of them are either riding independently or about to. It will be so wonderful for Scout to have riding buddies. This year HorseKids could go to barrel races with us and the new pony. 

The culture we are establishing at our home for Scout includes some amazing people and of course horses. We plan on horses being a big part of our homeschooling future to include trips and travel on horseback. There are a few children that I already see potentially being part of that and we want the momentum to keep moving forward. 

This new pony will allow that momentum to keep traveling. If you are able to contribute to help get her home and help make sure she gets any needed care when she arrives we, and the children, would be so grateful. Every little bit helps. Please share this post through your social media. We will also be needing some help with labor here at the Ranch to get her quarantine area set up as well as a few other important projects related to her coming home. 

Please Chip In if you can.....Please Share....Thank you
