MAC
The Almost Raffled Horse

I honestly can’t believe it’s been 1 year. I didn’t think this dream of mine would come true of owning my own horse. I kept looking and looking and didn’t think it was possible of finding one that I could call my own, just lease horses. How I got Mac is pretty funny tbh Miss Mandy rescued him and she posted him. We were not looking for a horse at the time, we stopped looking till dad saw Mac looked at me and said do you want to look at a horse and I was like of course. But what will mom say he was like we will put her in the car and not tell her where we are going so we went to look at him and it was love at first sight for everyone. I remember getting into the car saying when are we bringing him home. I love him but of course I had to go and ride him so we went back and May the 15th we decided we wanted him to be ours and brought him home May 20th. I was told so many things like I was making the worst decision, he’s a kill pen horse, he looks like a mule, he’s probably green and you don’t know how to ride so it’s a waste. I looked at that person and said I will prove you wrong so that’s what I did. Mac is amazing and I love him with my whole heart he’s definitely my heart horse. The bond that we have made is amazing, from not wanting to come to me to when I call his name he comes trotting up to me. The past year has been crazy with you but I wouldn’t change it at all and also today we are on our way to our first clinic Happy Gotcha Day !! ~ Mady

Daisy MAE - R i p

Daisy was one of the sweetest dogs I have had the pleasure of saving. She was a stray that we found in 2015. We searched for her family. She was smart and well mannered, so she had one at one time. She stayed with my son for a couple of weeks and then went to live with my father. He had Alzheimer's so we were there or had caregiver around the clock. She was so good with him. She slept at the foot of his bed. She would come in and my dad would tell us that a dog had followed us in. We told him that was his dog and he would reply that he didn't have a dog like that. She was a great conversation piece for sure. She was very calm, except during a thunder storm, which she cared nothing for. After my father passed, I brought Daisy home but it was difficult with the rescues I already had. She went to live with a sweet friend and caregiver of my dads who loved Daisy as her own. Every year they would tell us ​at the vet that Daisy is older than we first thought. A year after my father passed, she started showing signs of canine dementia.  I thought what in the world is that. Can they be serious? I saw a bit of this when she was with me but I thought it was anxiety. We were in and out of the vet and her health started declining rapidly. Doing research on the subject and knowing that her quality of life was not there anymore, we said goodbye to this girl a year ago - June, 2020.
​RIP Mae Mae 

Dutchess - R I P

​What can I say about this sweet girl. She was one of our first rescues. A true gem. She had a gentle soul and had been broke to death. She quickly became the momma after Jubilee and Alexa were adopted. She kept everyone in line and and yet had a gentleness for a small child to approach. We decide early on that Dutchess would remain and be our Senior representative. Last fall, she began rapidly losing weight. She was always a hard keeper, however this was different. We spoke to several people about feed, met with two different vets, even talked to a feed specialist, but nothing seemed to help. We added everything we could with no changes. Was it just the age or was something else going on. We had some test done, but In March we had to say goodbye to this sweet girl. The vets guess based on results was cancer. We did not want her to suffer. She was so thin and had slowed down. That was painful to look at and I'm sure would not be good for her any longer.  RIP sweet girl. I'm glad
we got to love you in the last
​ few years.
