What does it take for an individual to rescue a horse/pony from a bad ending pipeline of auctions? All it takes is a good equid going through auctions where the right buyer doesn't attend.

I found gals who rescued "Joe". He was a great mover, great bone structure, just didn't know anythin. ME, as an amatuer owner took on a rescue project to turn him into the fabulous pony I saw in him.

Task one - tackle his fears, and parasites - it took a village. I'm forever grateful to many.

Baby it’s cold outside! ❄️⛄️

Many people think of donkeys as hardy, low-maintenance “small horses.” However, while they have similarities, donkeys are a completely different species and as such have a different physical, mental, and emotional make-up.

As the weather gets colder, it’s important to remember that donkeys are more sensitive to changes in temperature than their equine friends. They don’t grow a winter coat like horses and their hair is less waterproof, so they require shelter from the elements (like a run-in shed or a waterproof blanket). Being stoic animals, they also won’t show signs of discomfort and hypothermia until they are very sick.

Remember that every animal is different depending on age, breed, and other health conditions, so be sure with your primary veterinarian to address any concerns or questions!
