• The first of our new shelters was completed in the largest pasture. Materials that were already on the property were used. 

• The perimeter fence of a new 6 acre pasture was completed. 
  
• The second of our new shelters was completed in the front pasture. The only materials purchased for this shelter was 10 2x4 boards, the rest were already on the property.
• On the 17th we pulled three horses and a pony from the Department of Agriculture. Trigger and Zeus remained with us, Chanel and Louie were transferred to South Georgia Equine Rescue.
• Our President, Brian, and Board Member, Trevor, left the country for a military training exercise.

• On the 1st we said farewell to Bella and Pansy. Both mares made a huge impact on the volunteers and staff here and will be greatly missed.
• On the 6th we pulled three horses and a pony from Screven County Animal Control. Gandalf, Captain, Mimic, and Teddy will be a challenge to figure out since they have not been handled in some time.
• Also on the 6th, Blue Falcon returned to us. Blue is a 24-year-old Standardbred gelding who needs to randomly drive but does not ride. 
• COVID-19 began in earnest and we were closed for a two-week period while safety concerns were being addressed. Thankfully, we were able to support the daily needs of the herd with a few dedicated friends.
• A seclusion pen was built for any of our herd that may need to be separated from the remainder for medical needs.
• Cross fencing was installed in the second largest pasture to allow for rotational grazing. 
• On the 23rd we pulled a horse from Bulloch County that had completed quarantine at an off site location. Thunder is actually Key Wes, a 2002 Thoroughbred gelding who has champions in his bloodline.

April 2020:

• On the 7th we picked up a gelding in Long County that had been abandoned on a property. Roy came to us with a fungal infection covering most of his body and several deep lacerations on his undercarriage. 
• The two front pastures along the highway had cross fencing installed to allow for rotational grazing.
• Our Board Member, Stephanie, left the country for a military training exercise.
• On the 21st we picked up a mare in Liberty County who was running loose through a neighborhood.

• Hiawasse was ADOPTED! He has been with us for over three years searching for his forever home. Buddy is now providing trail rides.
• A second seclusion pen was built in the largest pasture. This one will be for any equine we receive that may not have ever been handled. This pen will allow us to gentle the equine safely while keeping it contained.  
• KD was ADOPTED! She moved to Florida with a lovely lady who will be able to further her gaits.
• On the 26th we picked up a gelding and a pygmy billy goat in Long County. They were running loose in a neighborhood. The goat, Pyg, is available for adoption. The gelding still has legal issues to work out.
• Teddy was ADOPTED! He hasn't been with us very long but found his perfect little girl in record time. 

• The largest pasture was the last to have cross fencing installed for rotational grazing. Since the largest of our herd, most of our geldings, is in this pasture an inside track was built with four gates. Inside the track an x was placed so that we can rotate that pasture. This will allow the boys to have the track for exercise while still maintaining the pasture at all times.
• Oakley was ADOPTED! She was the first rescue foal born on the property. We are excited she found a home that will be able to train her as she grows.
• On the 15th we picked up a mare in Liberty County that was loose in a neighborhood. The owner surrendered Sugar to us so she will be available for adoption after her mounted evaluation.
• On the 20th we had a day camp for area youth. We had ages 4 – 15 for a packed session that included nutrition, anatomy, bathing, grooming, an obstacle course, and of course a ride on one of our horses! We loved introducing our herd and teaching the youth about their care.
• Our second largest pasture got an extension of fencing into the tree line to allow for shelter and shade. 
• We are on baby watch with our burro Natasha. We hope that she will deliver soon but know that it will happen when it is time. Unfortunately, she arrived in November already bred so we do not have a better timeline.
