Nightly turn in with Prince. He is doing so well. Gidget is not happy to see him come through the barn, however, he is used to the mares being a bit temperamental.

Today was farrier day at the rescue. Lily our beautiful paint mare has walls up. Something terrible by human hands has happened to her in the past. The last farrier visit even under sedation, the farrier was only able to trim her front hooves.

Today we got all 4 hooves nicely trimmed. This was only possible because of the many many hours volunteer Leah has put into Lily behind the scenes. Thank you Leah for all the time and love you have put into Lily to get her to this point. This is why the volunteers are the heart of the rescue.

Doc still needs more friends.

Senior Horse Saturday 💖💖💖

Doc is our Super Senior. He came to us 7 years ago with an extreme case of Stringhalt. Against all odds, he recovered completely and is thriving under the excellent and compassionate care of our volunteers. We absolutely love Doc. Early on after he recovered, we committed to giving him a permanent home with us. He is our ambassador. His recovery has encouraged people to reach out to us over the years, inquiring about how we rehabilitated Doc when their own horses were stricken with Stringhalt. We are so grateful that out of his adversity, other horses were given time, nutritional support, and exercise program to recover from stringhalt. Sadly, many horses with Stringhalt are not given this chance.

Doc is only allowed to consume soaked grain and pelleted hay due his expired teeth. This effectively makes him our most expensive horse to feed at $230 a month. He also can only have soft treats.

It has been awhile since Doc has had a sponsor. Sponsors help cover our horses basic care such as feed and farrier care. We invite you to join us in becoming Doc’s “Friend.” Ideally, Doc makes 10 new friends who each sponsor him at $20 monthly. However, Doc welcomes more friends at whatever amount you can comfortably contribute. If it’s less or more, Doc loves you all.

Doc is eager to make more friends, so don’t hesitate to become his friend. He promises to send all his friends a special thank you before the end of the year.

On behalf of Doc and from all of us, THANK YOU! 💖💖💖

Zayn is ready for his new chapter. He has 4 months of professional training put on him. He is very willing, young, versatile and nice to ride. Adopter must be intermediate rider or better. He is approximately 5-6 years old and is current on everything. While he came to us as a stallion, he never acted like one. Zayn has a fantastic personality and work ethic. Easy to handle and easy on the eyes. Search to see if he is registered is in process. Our trainer says if he is registered, he is show quality and has what it takes. Zayn would also do well on trails and possible endurance.

Volunteer Le has done a great job getting Prince going under saddle. He is not ready to be adopted just yet, however, once he is he will be an athletic partner. He tends to have more whoa then go, which will be perfect for someone wanting to slowly go down the trail.

Our Founder Dusty has exciting news!!! She will be moving onsite at the property that we have been blessed to call home the last 11 years. There will be a transition period, however, once settled, she will not only be here for the horses each and every day, she will also be able to keep a watchful eye over them 24/7. We have been very fortunate to always have a knowledgeable horse person onsite all these years, especially the last 3 years, with Bill and Leah. We know that when Dusty and John bought the property, this dream has always been in Dusty’s plan. Not only will our horses be right there, Dusty will have her 4 personal horses once again in her “backyard”. This means even more to her as her heart horse is aged and has health issues.

We will still run as usual, but even better than we have, with this move.

Dusty has 3 passions: #1 horses, #2 gardening, and #3 Chickens. She will now be able to fulfill all of them right here on the property we call home.
Also with her being onsite, she plans to look into opportunities to expand on the work we do. 💖💖💖

Volunteer Marcia has done a great job working Lily over poles and doing groundwork to help build her topline and hind end. Lily is making progress, yet still is unable to trust completely. We have faith that with more time, she will fully blossom. 💖💖💖💖

❤️ HELP US HELP FRITZ! ❤️

Seven years ago, a very special little soul was born at our rescue. Fritz was the first baby born at Arabian Horse Rescue and Education, and he has held a special place in our hearts ever since. Now, at seven years old, Fritz needs our help. 🐴❤️

Fritz has recently sustained an injury to his hoof when he stepped on a screw. He is currently receiving care at OSU, a large animal veterinary hospital. His owners have already paid a substantial amount toward his veterinary expenses, and we are so grateful for their dedication to him. However, they are facing an estimated $1,000–$1,500 remaining balance that will be due when he is released from the hospital.

The Screw was removed with most of the damage is to the coffin bone and navicular bursa, possibly the deep digital tendon, though this won’t be known until the hoof heals and he begins to move around. The priority this week has been prevention of infection.

Fritz may be coming home tomorrow! When he does, he will need strict stall confinement for at least 30 days to give his hoof the best chance to heal. We are stepping in to help by providing Fritz with a stall at our rescue at no cost to his owners during his recovery.

But we would also like to help ease the financial burden of his veterinary care.

Our goal is to raise $1,000–$1,500 to help cover Fritz’s remaining veterinary expenses so his owners can bring him home and focus on what matters most: helping him heal.

At Arabian Horse Rescue and Education, we believe that being a horse rescue means more than taking in horses who have nowhere else to go. It means being there for horses and the people who love them when unexpected hardships arise. Sometimes, helping a horse means opening our gates. Other times, it means opening our hearts and lending a helping hand.

Fritz was born here. He is part of our rescue family, and we want to be there for him now, just as we have been there for so many other horses over the years.

🙏 Would you consider making a donation to help Fritz? Every dollar brings us closer to our goal, and every share helps spread the word.

To make a donation directly to OSU you can call 1-541-737-2858
