See What Wishes and Eddie Found!
After two weeks in their new custom field, our two beautiful blind horses are right at home. See what Wishes and Eddie found! Amazing.
Wishes and Eddie – Home at Last
Eddie and Wishes are finally in their custom made field. While both are blind, they both seem to see some light. This field is flat, with sound cues – driveways, the creek, etc. – on all four sides, along with bells along the fence line. Solar lights also rim the perimeter in the hopes that if they do see light, they will see these at night or see the sun shimmer on them in the daytime. So far these…
Dusty’s Miracle
Dusty was rescued from a property in Central Point Oregon with Royal Crown. Royal Crown (“RC”) came to the Sanctuary because law enforcement instructed the owner to give him up or put him down. Dusty was the alpha horse in the herd of 17 horses, and the owner did not like him (the feeling was mutual!) and wanted him to leave. Even though Dusty was in good health and did not qualify as an Equamore horse (we believed he had…
Good Bye to Henry
Henry lived at the Sanctuary for five and a half years, after having been abandoned, neglected, and alone for over eight years in a field by himself. During his time with us, Henry and his incredibly kind spirit became a well-loved horse. He became quite frail early last winter and could no longer go into the gelding field. In a separate field safe from the rough house of the gelding field, he spent all of his time with his best…
Wishes and Eddie
Our two remarkable blind horses spend their days in the outside arena while the finishing touches are put on their new field. Wishes has been blind for a long time, but her guide horse Shane passed away soon after they came to the Sanctuary. Eddie has recently lost his sight and is adjusting with the lovely Wishes as his tutor. These horses cannot be in the larger herds, as they do not recognize normal communication and warning signs from other…
Welcome to a Beautiful Jewel
At long last, the beautiful Jewel joined us today at the Sanctuary. Tired after a long drive from northern Oregon, Jewel happily came out of her trailer and found her dinner in her new stall. Jewel has had a long and difficult path, but thanks to Liz has finally made her way to her forever home. Jewel spent her first full day relaxing with Liz getting to know the Sanctuary. Soon Jewel will begin her integration into her new herd…
Welcome Royal Crown!
Meet Royal Crown, a wonderful Arab gelding surrendered to us this month from Central Point, Oregon. “RC” is a very hungry guy! He is also a big talker – he nickers to everyone who comes through the barn and calls to the other horses when he comes into the barn first in the afternoon. Read his story on RC’s Page in our horse portfolio.
Celebrate National Horse Protection Day!
Friday, March 1, is National Horse Protection Day — a holiday created to raise awareness about the abuse, neglect, homelessness, and slaughter of horses in America and to promote public education about how people and communities can help. To celebrate this year’s National Horse Protection Day, join Equamore staff and volunteers at the Ashland Art Center, which will host a special exhibit of paintings by Ashland artist and Equamore volunteer Dana Feagin. The First Friday exhibit will feature five of Dana’s horse…
Update on Bryant
January 28, 2013 Bryant has made so much progress since he got his special shoes. Other than of course being more comfortable and energetic, Bryant is starting to interact with other horses. He joined in Buckley’s favorite game of nip and scream, and raced around the arena in a game of chase with Pete, Mowen and Josey. Perhaps Bryant has stayed to himself all this time because he didn’t feel sound enough for horse play with the guys. Perhaps he…
