Success Stories & Happy Tails

Success Stories:

Our job is to find great forever homes for our rescued animals and these success stories are a tribute to that. We love seeing your pictures and hearing your stories. Please keep in touch and send us your updates!

We are very thankful for our outstanding and committed volunteers! Without you, the rescue would not be possible.

Jasper & Dakota

From the looks of your website, it seems like you guys are very busy. Hope you are successful finding homes. Here are some recent photos of our two guys. They are coming along beautifully. Some Stats: Jasper has gained 60 pounds and is 2" taller. Dakota has put on 50 pounds and has grown 2" as well. We are pleased. The vet and the farrier both tell us that they are the sweetest colts they've been around. Brag, Brag. Have a good holiday season.

Ty & Cody

We arrived in Livermore, California on January 9th of this year. We've come a
long way baby!!! And we're so happy we can hardly contain ourselves.

So much as happened! We've grown a lot and have learned how to lunge and pony off the other horses. We go to the parks and all around the ranch.
My name is now Sand Hills Tyson or Ty for short. I'm almost 15 hands tall and I love attention. I'm going to drive, do dressage, trail ride, and some show
stuff. And my name is now Wild West Cody because I've been the cause of more than
one rodeo. First there was roping me to get a halter on, then I jumped a 4ft. fence and ran through the neighbors hay field. Then one day I opened the gate
and got in with the cows. I love cows and can spot them a mile away. I ran them up one side of the fence and down the other. It was an hour before they caught me. We're quite proud of ourselves and will keep you updated as to our accomplishments. Just wanted to let you know how much we like our new home and how much we appreciated being given a chance.

Jolie

I wanted to give you a quick update on our ercheron/thoroughbred filly,
Jolie. I've enclosed a "before" picture, taken when she arrived last year, and two "after" pictures. In both of the "after" shots, she's doing her two favorite
things...eating and kicking up her heels in the pasture!

She's growing like crazy and is becoming more and more beautiful each day.
Her ground manners are impeccable, and she responds instantly to any verbal
command in the round pen.
I get some teasing that I've raised a dog, rather than a horse, but I love the way she follows me around! She comes running when called and rubs my
shoulders with her lips whenever I scratch her withers.

She's an amazing, beautiful creature and I love her with all my heart!
Sincerly,
Nichole

Shalako and Patric

We made it home without any problems. Shalako has made the transition to his new herd and seems to be content in his new home. Tanner and Mary go visit him every afternoon with cookies. I'm sure it won't be long before he is as spoiled as Patric and Poco. Attached are some pictures of the boys.

Thanks again and happy new year!

Bonita Vogue

Here are a couple new pictures of Bonita, almost one year later. As you
can see from the pictures, she is a very happy and contented girl and absolutely loves her new herd, Bullet Twister, our QH, and Serrano, our Draft. Bonita has blossomed into a gentle, sweet, loving, and trusting baby and we absolutely adore her. She has brought so much happiness to our family and we are blessed by having her in our lives. Thank you for all that you do for all of these wonderful, precious babies!
