Kataluna Horse Rescue

This sweet mama needs so much help.

She has given everything she has to keep her baby thriving, as a mother does with honor🥺 It’s time for someone to step up for her too.

Realistically she will be a longer care resident, to ensure her we can get her back to thriving herself. The fundraiser goal we are aiming to achieve is just scratching the surface and we’re only a little less than halfway there.

That is still huge! But we’re still pushing through, for her and her little one.

If you can help at all, please know there is no obligation, but every single person makes a difference whether it’s donating $1, $5, $20 or even just commenting and sharing this post because you never know who will see. Their lives are what this comes down to❤️ thank you for helping us make this possible for them!

❗️THREE HORSES NEED OUR HELP ❗️

A mama and her sweet little baby, and an old boy who’s given his whole life.

Here we are, I’m on the tail end of our honeymoon and duty calls❤️‍🩹 these timid mama and baby and older ex-workhorse need our help. They were both picked up from one of sale yards local to our cross country hauler. She knew they needed a safe place to go, so gave me a call and of course I said yes.

But we need YOUR HELP keeping them out of the pipeline. A horse who has served many years for people and deserves better. A scared mama trying to raise her baby deserves better. This baby doesn’t need to end up in the pipeline moving from auction to auction.

WE CAN GIVE THEM BETTER, but we can do it without you.

Their bail and quarantine have been fundraised already by a *miraculous* human being, so our hope is to raise $6000 to cover their transport and initial vet care.

If you consider donating to help, we are ready to bring them home and give them that peace and sanctuary, help us help them❤️

Walter is FINALLY feeling better!!!

I can’t tell you how happy this makes me to know this little guy is on the mend! After several weeks of being sick after being sold at an auction where we found him and brought him home to be best cow friends with Millie Moo, Walter is finally on the mend! Acting perkier, eating and drinking more, normal stool, normal temperatures! All the good things! We still need to get him castrated before he and Millie meet, but had to wait for that until he was healthy.

One step closer each day!

A few more spooky snoots for your Halloween scrolling👻

Happy Halloween from our BOO-tiful herd to yours!🧡🖤

Just another Hiccup transformation before this boy is incredible!

Hiccup came from one of the biggest auctions in the country sick, emaciated, covered in burrs and absolutely terrified of humans. We don’t know anything on his past but at some time in his life someone claimed him as their own with their brand, but somewhere along the way he became lost in the system. Treated so terribly, even after months of rehab and trust-building, he still had so many walls built up. You could see him trying so hard, and desperately crying for help, but having snap backs into whatever hell he endured.

We decided to best thing for Hiccup was to give him time out in one of our quieter pastures with two of other horses. There he spent time just being a horse, no pressure or expectations, building other herd friendships and spending time with only a few particular people who were there to support him fully❤️

I try my absolute best to ensure we are providing the specialized and quality care for each individual horse, and Hiccup most definitely one who needed that most than anyone. We finally felt he was ready to take a next time and start engaging more with halter practice, picking up his feet, no major expectations aside from helping ensure we can give him the best care. Thanks to another absolutely incredible human-being, and giving him that time to fully process and make the decision on his own that he was ready, he is finally making huge strides in his relationship with people. I just couldn’t be happier for this boy who deserves it so much. You’ve got a whole community supporting you Hiccup!

T***s & Cash, the beauty of what comes BEFORE they end up in the pipeline❤️

These two beauties came to Kataluna just recently after their time working pulling sleighs in a local tourist town came to an end. Rather than taking them to an auction, loosing their friend, their names, and every bit of life that came with them, their caretaker found our rescue and reached out. It’s not often we are able to take in owner surrenders because our stalls are always filled with horses who were not quite as fortunate as t***s and cash who had someone looking out for them, but we thought these two would live their best life up with Henry and Hudson in our draft pasture, and that they do❤️ They have settled in so well!

You may have noticed a bit of an absence on our social media the last few days, because Steve and I are actually currently off the farm, and on our honeymoon😍 it’s not all too often we get to enjoy such quality time together so we are soaking up every minute! Well be back to our regular schedule soon😉

Thank you 4Strides Photography for these stunning photos of T***s and Cash!

Hiccup says happy Saturday!!

He is just living his absolute best life right now ripping it up with his pasture mate Flash and his new human friend Sarah😍

Thank you for these fun photos 4Strides Photography !
