Mea Ola's Place Non Profit rescue, sanctuary, rehabilitation, and therapeutic horsemanship. A division of Meas Outreach Programs Inc. EIN 33-1384938

We believe every life is special. Although we would like to save more, we save one at a time. Numbers is not our game, as we have many that even other rescues pass up because they are "unadoptable" for one reason or another. However, we have found that every single horse can be used in Equine Assisted Therapy, even if they are just a model for an exercise like anatomy or studying their behavior. As the old saying goes, "Someone else's trash is another's treasure". We love and treasure each and every life that comes to Mea Ola's Place. Our commitment to each horse is for life, whether that is by finding them a forever home, or providing one for them.

I decided to share this channel because a lot of you might like it.
This guy goes out (on his own, not hired) and fixes (unplugs) springs for wild horses and donkeys.
He deserves to be shared, liked and supported!
Bravo SIR! ❤️

This is what it looks like on a hot day because we feed late. Humans, and even some dogs can’t take it. So I always think the horses would like to eat when it’s a little cooler too.

Speaking of dogs. My faithful, herd protector, Amos….has almost never missed a feeding in 10 years. I guess he supervises. And, he will alert me to problems I might not see right away. He was “on duty” again tonight.

This year he has passed on the late morning (9 am feedings) that may happen… it’s too hot for him. (And also me on those roasting days)

But tonight, I realized why he means so much to me. First, he was acquired to guard my turkeys and chickens that coyotes were picking off almost every night

Well folks, if you don’t think these dogs can do that job…get one
And find out! The predators only needed to know he was here.

Shortly after he came, he wanted to be a “house dog” at night. I let him. After being cheated on and then alone again, a big dog in my bed at night felt comforting. I remember Chris being so mad that I wasn’t making him stay out at night.

And guess what? Not one bird lost. No predators have ever come on the property since the week Amos got here and chased coyotes off.

He did every feeding til this summer on hot mornings.
He’s been with me for every death of our herd for almost 10 years. His reaction is so intense that I have to put his feelings before my own. He tries to “wake them up” and he won’t leave their side, still protecting them from a predator…. In their death!

Then he is the house dog that Comforts me.

He’s really become an as***le in his older years about food. Only to the other dogs though. Never to me.

Tonight I appreciated his presence at feeding time. I swear, I do not know how I will get past losing him. I pray it’s not our last fall and winter together.

I’ve never known a dog like Amos. I always wanted another Biff. God gives us what we need.❤️

Lesson: stay open to love. 4 legged and two.

I posted pictures a few days ago with Volt and Rosie….and this came up in my memories today! They are the only original rescues left from Operation Horse Rescue 1-6-2012.
And I had them both at 30 years old now. That’s incorrect! Thirty ONE, going on 32. ❤️
They both had issues that made them impossible to place in another home. But they both found a purpose here.
Their days are surely limited now at their ages…And it hurts my heart.

Happy Friday! It’s our September feed drive! Winter is around the corner and we are starting to get ready for whatever this will bring.

We appreciate those of you that donate to these.
We have 6 seniors on just pellets and senior feed now. Danny (our blind guy) is also transitioning. I realized he’s about 26 now! He’s not cleaning up his hay like he used to and will be the next one off of hay soon. He still manages about 1/2 flake a feeding, and his bucket is his main source now.

I’d like to give a shout out for Integrity feed. ($36 a bag and we go through a bag a day!) It’s expensive but has helped to keep our seniors (we have three 30+ and several others approaching 30) in perfect weight and healthy! We feed the no molasses senior and do not have one horse with metabolism issues. They also get soaked Bermuda pellets and on cold spells, some rice bran pellets. In a world where many seniors end up Insulin Resistant or with Cushings, I’m very happy to report how this has worked for us.
And this is the first year we haven’t had to use fly masks or treat any Donks with SWAT for flies. We’ve been using the 707 feed through fly control and I can’t praise it enough. Thank you Deby for donating that!
