Just a few of our Rescued Critters
| "Peepers" (Top Right) was injured as a baby. We rescued her and with patients time and TLC she pulled through and was able to give us our first duckling "Lucky" here on the farm. We have given homes to lots of poultry and water fowl through out the years that have been neglected or abandoned and we incorporate them with our Animal Education Activities. The children enjoy feeding, collecting eggs and interacting with the ducks, geese, chickens and Tommy the turkey. |
| "Faith" a white face Hereford cow was on her way to slaughter when we informed her uneducated owner that she was ready to give birth. This cow had never been handled by people. She had a calf no problems but "Hope" her calf, wouldn't nurse. Because the calf didn't nurse the cow's dormant milk can become clogged, toxic & fatal to both. We started the calf on electrolytes and artificial colostrum and went to work on milking out the rancid milk from Faith. It was amazing how this cow new we were helping her, never being handled we were able to tie her up and milk her. Eventually Hope started nursing from her. Faith gives Carole a kiss of appreciation. Hope is now doing great! |
| Angel is a bay miniature filly that got stuck in the birth canal. Her mother had been put out on endophyte filled fescue causing her not to produce milk. We bottle fed her and watched her round the clock. She stopped breathing several times and we resuscitated her back. As you can see from the photos to the left our rescued dogs & cats pitched in to help as well as Cocoa. Cocoa is a Foundation Morgan Mare rescued from a barn fire. She actually adopted Angel and started lactating so she could nurse her. We found out weeks later her lungs had not fully developed properly and unfortunately she did not make it. She is now in Gods hands. We miss you Angel. |
| Cocoa is a 14 year old Black Foundation Morgan Mare that was rescued from a barn fire. She was penned in the barn on her belly on hot coals. Cocoa has many physical scars that will not ever grow back hair but her emotional scaring I believe she has come out of. We used Cocoa for 2 years as a lesson horse and foster mother for other rescues until a young man (in photos) fell in love with her. We adopted out Cocoa, Poncho, Sweat Pea (Donkey), and Sly(Pygmy Goat) to this young man and his family on 25 acres out in Rushville. |
| Sweat Pea & Sly was rescued from a farm were a pack of Domestic Dogs had gone wild and were slaughtering everything including their mothers. We took them in bottle fed them had them gelded and used them in our Animal Education Activities for 2 years until they were adopted out along with Cocoa and (Poncho is in the photo to the left, horse on the right) If you look close you can see Sly and Sweat Pea in the back ground behind Poncho and McCue. |
| McCue shown to the left was an old registered Buckskin Mare who was donated for our therapeutic riding lessons. She was well taken care of in her previous home and a pleasant gift to our participants. We enjoyed her the last of her days and are thankful she runs free and wild in the heavens above today. Thanks for your love! |
| Blaze is a 2 year old paint stud colt who was a victim of a divorce. He was rescued from a family unable to feed and house him any longer. Blaze came here needing vet care, groceries, and lots of discipline. Blaze stayed with us for approximately a year and was gelded and trained, along with all the basic vaccinations and other appropriate health care. Blaze is now living up in northern Ohio with a 14 year old little girl who shows him in 4-H and open western pleasure, halter and English shows. She also enjoys trail rides with him. |
| Doc is a 12 year old Palomino Quarter Horse Gelding formerly used for Roping, Reining and Cutting in his younger years. His owner before last was very abusive to him causing him to be spooky about everything. Brenda Woosly saved him from his abuse Doc was put out to pasture for 7 years before striking the interest of one of our most dedicated volunteers Mike Howell. Mike took possession of Doc early in 2004. After realising that Doc needed some serious hoof care, the typical worming and vaccinations as well as lots of expensive vet care for numerous infections in his mouth, eyes, urinary track, colon and stomach, his teeth needed floated and he had some serious respect for human and training issues, Mike decided to donate him in hopes we could bring him around and eventually use him as a lesson horse. Doc has been with us for 6 months now and has come a long way. We believe now that he knows we aren't going to hurt him, we believe he will go to the end of the earth for us and he will be an outstanding lesson horse. He now loads, shoes, clips, hauls and is safe to ride and handle with out sedations, as previously done for everything, according to Mrs Woosley. He is in great health on a good diet and is being worked daily to build muscle tone. *Update* Doc has been adopted by a 12 year old little boy and his family. He is currently being used for 4-H and trail riding. We wish you many years of peace and happiness. |
| You can see above how bloated Doc was from the infections, and worms. He was also overweight and lacking in muscle tone. Below shoes the poor conditions of his hooves when he arrived. |
| Flashy Hank is a black 5 year old Quarter Horse gelding who was brought up from the New Orleans tragedy. He was recently placed with a retired roper who will use him for his trail riding pleasures. We hope you have lots of fun. |
| Destiny is a palomino and white paint pony who's owner graduated to a larger horse. In fact we placed the palomino Doc above with destiny's previous owner. We used destiny for lessons for a season and then one of the participants fell in love with her and took her home to become a part of their family. Good Luck. |
