Ember arrived with four other horses on December 17, with no hope and no person to love them. This gelding is about 4 or 5 years old and is a cautious boy, but once he knows you won't hurt him, he settles in for some soothing scratches and gentle pats. He is in good physical condition and is halter broke but he needs a lot of time to decompress and learn to trust. Once we get him settled in and feeling safe, we'll make him available for adoption. He would be a perfect match with our other cremello gelding, Draco.

Aponi (from the Siksika/Blackfoot word apaniiwa meaning "butterfly") arrived with four other horses on December 17, defeated and confused about being moved around. This quiet mare is about 25 years old and is super skinny. We had her teeth done and hopefully that helps her fill her belly and put on some weight. She is getting daily senior supplements and is in fair physical condition. She is probably broke to ride but we won't test her until she's had time to decompress and relax. Once we know she is happy and healthy, we'll make her available for adoption.

Denali (from the native Athabascan language meaning "the great one"). This gorgeous red dun gelding is 4 years old and is super gentle. He also arrived on December 17 and he came in with an injury to his hind leg. We had it x-rayed to find out he has some ligament damage. He doesn't limp or favour it so he is sound but he should be monitored and will be suitable to train for light riding in his future. He also has several ulcers on his tongue which need time to heal so for now, we will let him relax with his new friends.  He is not yet halter broke but he is easy to handle and catch.

Tamaari, meaning "strength", also arrived with Ember, Denali, Aponi and Agni on December 17, obviously confused and cautious. This old guy appears to be about 20 years old and  definitely needs to put on some weight. We had his teeth done and overall, he's in fair condition apart from needing some groceries. He is also getting daily senior supplements is probably broke to ride. Once you catch him, he is super quiet and stands tied very patiently. He will be up for adoption once we know more about his personality and see his body condition improve.

This stunning gelding is 3 years old and appears to be part draft, about 15.3 HH. He came to us with an injury to his hind leg and has since developed stringhalt which leaves him with an unusual gait. He is not in pain but he would not make a good candidate for training to ride. If you're looking for a beautiful lawn ornament, he's your guy! He does not require any pain meds or medical attention at this time. He's still quite shy and needs a lot of work to gain his trust. He is not yet halter broke but he is a sweet guy that hangs out in the middle of the herd.

Poor Luffy has had a lot going on this year. His owners contacted us after he suffered a suspected gunshot wound to his withers. We assisted with multiple vet visits and the infected wound just wouldn't heal properly. After several months of assisting them, the family decided to surrender him into our care. We had a specialized veterinary perform another surgery on him but he's still battling a deep infection. "Lou" is super gentle and kind and he deserves every chance we can give him for a full recovery and a happy home. He's a Fjord/ QH cross.

Lady is best friends with Whiskey, they come and go in unison. Lady is a 14 year old mare and is halter broke but can be hard to catch. She is a beautiful little Fjord x QH and is quite friendly. She looks very similar to Luffy but they came from different places.  She is sound and has no physical limitations.

Whiskey and Lady are a bonded pair and they go everywhere together.  Whiskey is a 12 year old gelding and is best suited as a companion horse. He is halter broke and super friendly but he is not a good candidate for riding due to enlarged knees which MAY give him problems as he ages. He currently is sound and has no physical limitations.

Velvet is a pregnant mare that was heading to the slaughter house with a few other pregnant mares - Teeter and Alba. She arrived at the rescue on December 29 so we don't know much about her yet but she seems happy to see us pull up to the pasture and with the others, ventures over to say hello. We will give her time to decompress before we learn much about her including her age, temperament overall health and due date.

Tucker is coming 2 years old this year and is still a stud colt. He arrived December 29 and seemed quite scared and confused for a few days. He has since decided that humans aren't that scary and he regularly comes up to the fence to check us out a little closer. We will give him some more time to decompress before we do much with him. For now, he is quite content with good food, good shelter and fresh water.

Some of our vet bills include surgeries, wound care, dentals, meds, x-rays, bandage changes, and sometimes euthanasia. We are committed to providing the very best care for all the horses we get calls about and the ones we bring into our rescue. 

Our vet bills and medications average about $1,500 per month. 

We welcome any amount of financial support to help with vet bills.

Our feed bills are over $10,000 to cover the winter and we will continue to supplement most of the rescue horses with grain and pellets throughout the year.  Some of the horses require specialized diets and supplements which are generally quite costly. If you're interested in making a regular (or one time) donation to help us cover feed costs, you'll be contributing to the welfare of the entire rescue herd. 

Our current feed cost per horse per month averages about $175.

We welcome any amount of financial support to help with feed bills.
