Rescue Me
Besides running my own small farm, one of my passions is horse rescue. Many folks (even in the horse community) don’t realize that over a hundred thousand horses a year sold at auction are actually bought by kill buyers and shipped to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered and sold as food for people.

Happy New Year! Weight loss – a resolution for many and always a journey for the “easy keeper”. We have Haflinger and miniatures horses. In the horse world, they are called “easy keepers” which means they can sustain (or gain) weight with very little food. With the cost of hay being high, this sounds like Read More…
