-Side-note: We are specific

We have accomplished much in educating people in Backyard Equine/Farm Animal Ownership. We have also accomplished 15 rescues as of 2017 that we completely rehabilitated and readied for work and/or adoption for retirement. These ranged from ducks, turkeys,peacocks, turtles, micro pigs, pot bellied pigs, miniature horses/ponies/donkies/cows, average sized horses and draft horses.

We have used our success stories of our rescues to educate people on what it takes to care for these animals, and the monetary amount it takes, so that people understand the magnitude of responsibility in caring for a backyard equine/farm animal. This has helped many people have a keener understanding in what these animals needs are, and has drastically reduced impulse buying/adopting in areas such as Social Media Groups, etc. We will continue to save lives, and we will continue to educate why not to react on impulse.

By doing both; we will continue to help those, who cannot help themselves.
