Mary A. Lainhart shares these thoughts in this month's HORSE SENSE... It amuses me that someone would base a life altering decision on the opinions of strangers in a Group on Facebook. What happened to people knowing themselves? What happened to people challenging themselves to become smarter, stronger, independent, free thinking?

FEATURE ARTICLE
Home on the Range:
The Nevada Discovery Ride by Samantha Szesciorka Nevada has more wild horses than any other state - somewhere around 30,000 according to the Bureau of Land Management. It’s also home to approximately 2,500 wild burros. I did not keep an exact tally, but I suspect we saw several hundred horses and burros during our journey. Our route took us through quite a few Bureau of Land Management wild horse and burro herd management areas, and in them we had some incredible encounters.
Sage and I watched wild horses grazing and traveling together in small bands. We saw incredible variety in them - roans, paints, bays, buckskins, and every other coat pattern imaginable. ... But, not all of our encounters were so benign. READ MORE |

Lyme Disease in Dogs
by Megan Williams, DVM Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochete (a type of spiral-shaped bacteria) that is transmitted to animals by the bite of the Deer or Black-legged tick, Ixodes scapularis. This tick has a complex life cycle involving three life stages and several hosts (animals that it feeds upon). Ticks thrive by a life style which involves attachment to animal hosts’ skin and feeding on the animal’s blood, during which time ...

The moment you arrive at the Trinity Equestrian Center, you sense the difference. It is a place of obvious beauty with its miles of white fencing, green pastures, and gorgeous horses. Far more important, however, is what you sense but don't see; Trinity is a place where tiny miracles happen every day — miracles of hope, growth, and healing....

I came across your web page when looking for more things on Mustangs and dressage. I acquired my mustang mare, Balet, from a situation that is often so heard of when novice people want to own a wild mustang. The neighbor went to a BLM pick-up facility and bought a mustang and two burros from Warm Spring OR BLM. They tried to work with the mustang and she got out from their pasture and ended up in a rancher’s pasture down the road. There she sat for almost a year, under some extreme circumstances of no water, feed or shelter is extreme weather. I would notice her in the pasture and bring her sweet feed and talk to her from the road. It was fate that the rancher who owned the land told the humane society that he wanted the mare off his property, that he didn’t know who she belonged to, and that it was a leased pasture for cattle. They came out to get her and return her to the BLM. God would have it that at the very time they pulled in with their trailer I was going to work and stopped to see what was happening to her. They told me that she was being returned and my heart stopped. So for $25 they transferred her into my name and she has been such an amazing horse to me ever since! These animals are so far different then domesticated horses. I can’t describe it. They give everything they have! Heart, body and soul to the person that is in their lives.
I’ve attached a photo of my Balet at her first schooling show.. where she received her first Blue Ribbon! I wish more people would think about adopting a mustang. They wouldn’t regret it!
Thank you for your page!!! I love it!

Redemption Road Rescue was founded as an organization to help horses and horse owners in need. We accept surrendered animals if the owner can no longer maintain the animal, as well as work side by side with local authorities on animal cruelty cases and seizures. Our ultimate goal is to rescue horses until rescue is no longer needed. We are 100% non-profit. All donations are tax-deductible and no amount is too small. |
Support your local shelters! Thank you to Beverly Animal Shelter for the services you provide to the animals in our community. Because of your low cost spay/neuter program, I was able to make Owl a permanent member of our family. A young cat that showed up on our back porch in the middle of winter, who curled up on a patio chair and had no intention of leaving. A gentle soul with a huge heart - she puts a smile on my face every day. THANK YOU!
