Trixies body failed her today. It gave out. After years of neglect and starvation, everything caught up to her.

We tried everything in our power to save her. She is now pain free and running pastures like I imagine her young self once did.

This one hurts.

Love you Trix.

Please send good vibes for sweet Trixie. OSU is on the way. Early this morning she went down and was unable to get up. With the help of the bobcat and straps, we were able to get her sternal and repositioned. She went lateral again this afternoon and is too weak to lifter her head. Vibes, thoughts, prayers…. Send them all.

TRIXIE
17 days

15 medicated baths
1 round of antibiotics
1 episode of choke
2 bottles of Coat Defense
10 bales of hay
5 bags of chopped alfalfa
3 bags of feed
Daily pain management

For the last two weeks, she’s eaten 1-pound soaked feedings every 2–3 hours around the clock. Every meal has been another step toward healing.

Today, she’s graduating to the next phase of her recovery:

Five 30-minute free-grazing sessions each day (she is now queen bee and wanders our property with no restriction lol)
Free-choice hay and alfalfa
CEP Vitality / Gut Check / Daily Drip/ Vitamin E supplementation

When Trixie arrived, she was starving, covered in sores, blind, and too weak to do much more than survive. Today, she nickers when she hears us. She looks forward to mealtime. She enjoys grazing. She’s brighter. Stronger. More comfortable.

Someone commented on one of our posts, “Wouldn’t it have been more humane to euthanize?”

It’s a fair question, and one we never take lightly. Humane isn’t determined by how an animal looks in a photograph. Humane means evaluating whether an animal is suffering in a way that cannot be relieved, or whether they still have a desire to eat, interact, move, and enjoy life with appropriate medical care and pain management.

Trixie has shown us every single day that she wants to live. She eats with enthusiasm. She grazes. She seeks out comfort. She nickers when she hears us. She rests peacefully. She continues to improve.

When that changes—if the day comes that we can no longer keep her comfortable or she tells us she’s ready—we will give her the greatest gift we can: a peaceful, dignified goodbye.

But today isn’t that day.

Recovery isn’t measured in days—it’s measured in thousands of little moments, countless hours of care, and the willingness to never give up.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared her story, prayed, and cheered her on. Every bag of feed, every bale of hay, every dollar, and every kind word has helped write this chapter of Trixie’s story.

She still has a long road ahead, but she’s no longer alone. ❤️

I’m tired.
Our rescue is full.
We don’t have the resources for another horse.
We hadn’t budgeted for another mouth to feed through the winter. Another horse means more hay, more feed, more veterinary bills, more farrier visits, more medications… and we already have horses depending on us every single day.

Logically, the answer should have been no.

Instead…

I said yes without hesitation.

Because sometimes your heart answers before your head has the chance.

Meet Trixie.

She was found lying on her side, covered in sores, missing patches of hair, and literally being eaten alive by flies. People believed she was already gone.

She’s starving.

She’s exhausted.

She’s old.

She’s blind.

She has every reason to have given up.

But she’s still here.

And now…

She’s safe.

She’s loved.

And she’ll never have to wonder where her next meal will come from again.

I know times are hard.

I know families are doing everything they can just to keep food on their own tables and pay their own bills. I know donations are harder to give than they’ve ever been.

That’s why asking for help is never easy.

Everything we do at Blindside Rescue comes directly from our own personal accounts. Every bale of hay. Every bag of feed. Every veterinary appointment. Every farrier visit. Every medication.

This year has been one of our hardest financially.

We’re applying for grants. We’re searching for funding. We’re doing everything we can to build something sustainable so we can continue saying “yes” when horses like Trixie have nowhere else to go.

Because if rescues stop saying yes…
Where do they go? I can’t save every horse. No rescue can. But I couldn’t walk away from this one.

To our incredible village…

Thank you.

Stephanie, thank you for donating Dove Nutrition feed to help begin Trixie’s refeeding journey.

Kara, thank you for personally donating CEP products to help this sweet mare start healing. Your kindness means more than you’ll ever know.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a donation—big or small—actually makes a difference…

It does. It buys hay. It pays for a hoof trim. It covers medications. It fills an empty feed bucket. It gives an old, forgotten horse another sunrise.

We have dreams for this rescue. More shelters. More fenced pasture. More space. More horses saved.

But dreams take time. Dreams take work. And dreams take a community.

If you’re able to donate, share this post, or simply follow Trixie’s journey, you’re already part of her story.

From the bottom of my heart…

❤️ Welcome home, sweet girl. You’re safe now.

He’s finally here !! We received this mare from Dreamscape Inc. October 2025 with the suspicion she may be pregnant. She’s come such a long way.

As hay season approaches, keep Blindside Rescue OH in mind if you find yourself needing to clear out last year’s hay to make room for this year’s cutting.

Every donation makes a difference—and all contributions are tax deductible.

Last year alone, we fed over 105,000 lbs of hay to keep our rescue horses healthy, safe, and thriving. As you can imagine, that comes with a significant cost, and we simply couldn’t continue our rehabilitation and rescue efforts without the support of our community.

If you have hay to donate or leads on available supply, we would be incredibly grateful.
