Just checking on the herd when they suddenly appear out of the woods!

Saphira, Maverick, Caspian, and Shadowfax decided to grace us with their presence and come investigate the sound of the tractor which usually means food. Some of them are more elusive than others. Caspian and Shadowfax are for sure some of those who like to hide out and keep their distance.

There are 19 spots left on the Moki fundraiser raffle! We would like to get these filled today if possible. Who wants a spot?

We stand with the brumbies! Will you???

Make the call today and make your voice heard!

The practice of aerial gunning down and culling of the brumbies from helicopters is barbaric, sick, disgusting, inhumane, and just plain wrong! How can a government allow and promote this? Something is seriously wrong in the minds of those people!

There are 19 spots left on this raffle. Can you help us fill them? Who wants a chance for this Moki print? 🤎🤍🖤

🎉🎉🎉 RAFFLE FUNDRAISER 🎉🎉🎉

🤎🖤🤍 MOKI 🤍🖤🤎

Our sweet friend Timothy Spencer Photography has generously donated a matted and framed print of our beloved McCullogh Peaks mustang Moki in an effort to help us fundraise for our June feed bill. Tim captured this moment of Moki during our spring open house back in April. It’s a stunning shot that so perfectly frames the horse that we all hold on high! It reminds me of a king on his throne as everyone respectfully bows down to him!

The total size of the overall framed piece is 11.5x15.5

There are 50 spots available. Each spot goes for a $25 donation. You can donate for as many spots as you would like. Once all of the spots are filled we will spin the wheel for a winner. Be sure to let us know which spot(s) you want when making your donation. If you do not indicate which spot(s) you want then we will pick for you.

Let’s get these spots filled and spin the wheel for a winner for this beautiful piece of our handsome boy Moki!

What do horses like to do on a hot summer day? Splash and play in the water of course!

The water hole is the social circle of the horse world. This is the hang out spot. Where everyone gathers for fun, rest, relaxation, and sometime water!

We found a big group of them down there enjoying themselves this afternoon. But it was Sand Wash Basin Allie who took over the pool and went for it. This playful girl was splishing and splashing and pawing and rolling all over the water hole while everyone watched and wondered from the banks. She thoroughly enjoyed herself and made sure to cover every square inch of her body before making a quick exit stage right.

The horses will often use the water and mud to coat themselves which helps with bug control and acts as a fly repellent. They are so smart and know what works to their advantage!

There are multiple fresh water springs that run year round on the property that the horses have access to. This one just happens to be the herd favorite and is where we often find them gathering and socializing.

It’s five o’clock somewhere for someone and definitely for these pretty ponies who are enjoying themselves a cold drink!

Everyone came in for water together this afternoon. Moki took it upon himself to climb right on into the sprung and was belly deep! Smart boy was working his was towards the head of the spring to the cleanest, freshest, coldest water where it comes directly out of the ground from the underground water table.

His mares Jane and Marina also joined him for a drink along with Unity, Allie, Red Wolf, Alliance, and Bernie Rose.

We have reached the end of the week already which means it’s ! We are quickly approaching the end of the month already and running out of days to meet our goal and cover our feed bill for June. A few of our residents are covered by several very generous supporters but we really need to get more checked off this list sooner rather than later if we are going to meet our goal this month. Please remember our doors are closed for any intake and rescue cases at the time until we can make sure we are meeting goals and that our feed bills are covered for our current residents each month. We have a few pending cases that we committed to months ago that will be admitted to the sanctuary but they will be all for now.

Each month our hay bill is $8600 and our grain bill is $1200 currently. That always changes when we take in new rescues or if hay or grain prices fluctuate. Those totals reflect that each horse is costing us approximately $113 a month for hay and grain alone. That doesn’t include any other expenses that it takes to care for so many horses in need.

So we are fundraising for June’s feed bill. Our goal is to raise $100 per horse. Each resident horse is listed below. Once we have reached the goal for that horse we will put a ✅ to indicate that their feed bill is covered for June. Please indicate on your donation or in the comments below horse you would like your donation to be applied to. If you don’t tell us or have a preference then we will apply it to the horse with the most needs.

Donations have been at an all time low and we cannot take in anymore rescue cases unless we know that our residents have ongoing support. The needs don’t stop once the horse is rescued. The needs are endless and the bills are ongoing. That’s where we need your help the most! Please donate if you can and share away to help us reach more hearts who can help. Thank you so very much for always supporting our mission and our mustangs!

Yesterday we had some crazy wind as severe storms moved across the state. All day we heard about the potential for severe weather and were warned to keep our eyes on the sky. We watched and waited but nothing ever really developed for us. Thankfully we dodged the worst of it. The warm winds and the distant lightening was eerie but we were safe from the fury of the summer storms.

As I was checking on the herd I happened to stumble upon Annie and Jinx. They were resting and relaxing together while enjoying the warmth of the sunshine on their backs. They both look so good with their sleek and shiny summer coats. Those manes blowing in the wind scream wild horses! Their beauty is breathtaking!

Annie and Jinx have been partnered up for almost a year now. Jinx so badly wanted a mare of his own. He made several desperate attempts at mares who were already claimed by other geldings. So when he realized that Annie was a single lady he quickly scooped her up and took her under his wing. Annie seemed to like the attention and felt safe with Jinx so she has faithfully stuck by his side. It makes my heart so happy to see them develop these type of bonds and create their own little family. This is what life is about and sharing it with the ones you love!
