Sunday-Gone Already

Aaron, our beloved farrier and part time mechanic, was here early this morning to help with the flatbed.

I just love a big bottom on a horse and Packy sure has one.

He has the softest eyes.

Here's the whole big boy.

Toby is a very special mule. When he arrived with Tawny and Tango mules they were a wild trio. They had not been handled and did not like people at all. One day Toby worked his way into the turnout with Maggie, Sugar and the donkeys. From there he let himself into the backyard where he decided he wanted to be a pet. He was cautious at first, but now he is a BIG love. In fact, he is one of the first to greet folks who come to visit. We did not do anything but be available when he wanted attention.

We think his mother must have been a Kiger mustang because of his markings. He has a stripe down his back, on his shoulders and on his legs.

Toby could use a sponsor. Could you spare even $10.00 a month for this special boy?

Look at the stripes on his legs!!!! Isn't Chad a beauty? He was a therapy horse who was ready to retire. He was with the backyard herd, but very poor teeth means he needs lots of supplemental food so we moved him. He is in a stall for morning and night feedings, but spends the day with his friends. He knows when I feed Star, Dancer and Dunny in their stall (yes, they share one big stall), he comes down to his stall. He gets closed in so he doesn't have to share. He is dappled and fuzzy.

If the camera is out, then Dunny is in. He loves people and he's a photo ham. He lives with Chad, Star and Dancing Drum. Dunny loves to play and is a funny horse. His mother foundered while she was pregnant with him and he has juvenile cataracts as a result.

Meet Whitey. She's a wonderful girl. She pins her ears when you approach, but it's not mean, just her way to protect herself. She loves pets and scratches and we love having her at Home At Last.
We receive many calls a week to take or help place horses. The need is tremendous. If you can give a home to a needy critter, please, do so. These wonderful animals deserve to have a safe, caring retirement. If you are not able to do that, then please, choose a rescue or sanctuary and help however you can. A little time, some kind words, a little money-all will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to Helen and Ron for their hard work at the Thrift Store.

Last thought of the night. Did you know rabbits are considered an exotic animal by most vets who will not treat them?
