Painted Hart's Rescue

We have been MIA on social media lately, our sincerest apologies. Here's a quick sneak peak at some wonderful, new, updates! I may be biased, but our Lovebugs are such beauties 🐎😍❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaNgeLDKUc/?igshid=1do5iqvlc9p4a

Whoa Flurry girl! This cooler weather has her all frisky. She's clearly ignoring the vet orders of "no running" 🤦🏻‍♀️ #horserescue #ottbrescue #OTTB #ottb #racehorse #thoroughbred https://www.instagram.com/p/CIW0Qj_hiV7/?igshid=qjd2y00oban3

Well, well, well, look at this handsome man 🥰❤🥰 Phin allowed me to body clip him (a bit) and braid his mane yesterday. He is coming around nicely. Unfortunately, we did find multiple melanomas on him 😔 We will have the veterinary team check them out and direct us from there. #blmmustang #mustang #rescuelife #rescuemakeover #wildchild #fyp #horserescue #paintedhartsrescue https://www.instagram.com/p/CILT6Qjhn2d/?igshid=1e5g7i6q8g24

Valor was amazing tonight. Kristy rode her and they were beautiful! Valor did great for her first ride in 5 years ❤🐎❤🐎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CICGCE8BfiG/?igshid=mi4ae1z4a0tw

Can I just say WOW! Valor is blossoming into the gorgeous gal God meant for her to be and I am so blessed to be a part of her transformation. Not only is she healthier in all aspects, but her personality is beginning to peak through. She is shy and timid initially ... but oh so sweet and gentle. She is also VERY willing and tries so hard ❤🥰 I love this sweet girl! #ottbrescue #OTTB #ottb #horserescuer #horsecrazy #paintedhartsrescue #horses_of_instagram #instahorse #horselove #horsesofinsta #horserescue #horserescueflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_p8wUBVoW/?igshid=epwptyjc11sg

Oooh I think Waldo needs to be made into a children's book character 😆 "If you Open a Door for a Donkey". If you open a door for a donkey, chances are he's going to want to peak inside. When he peaks inside, he'll want to sniff the rabbit. While sniffing the rabbit he'll notice a girl sitting on the floor. Once he notices the girl on the floor, he'll HAVE to say hi. When he says hi, the donkey will get pet. Once the donkey gets pets, he'll realize he LOVES the little girl. He'll love her so much, he gives her a hug 🥰❤ The End. #Waldothedonkey #horserescue #equine #equinesofinstagram #donkeysofinstagram #paintedhartsrescue https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGo-E2huQZ/?igshid=zgplx40pxxoa

I'm happy to report that all the Lovebugs that received pedicures yesterday were rather well behaved! Ladybug here wasn't too sure about it, but she did good ❤🥰. Sarge was relieved of his "racing shoes"! Unfortunately, I didn't snap a picture of Sarge ... I was too worried he would go for a chunk of my face 😆 Thankfully, Sarge was GREAT! He has been on the Xyklene for 11 days now (the calming supplement recommended by the vet). If you would like to help contribute to Sarge's costly mood stabilizers, they are on our Amazon wish list ❤ The vet will be here shortly to perform full exams, blood tests, vaccines, and ultrasounds 😱 (pray for meh!!!) https://rebrand.ly/PHR-Amazon oooh, and if you shop through Amazon.smile (not the app), and add us as your organization to donate to, Amazon donates 5% to us 🥰❤🥰 #paintedhartsrescue #paintedharts #rescuehorseofinstagram #rescuehorses https://www.instagram.com/p/CFu0fHHh4rw/?igshid=qahumvrp1fwh

The newest rescues: The back story. We were contacted by a loving couple in need of help. The husband had been battling stage 4 cancer and was in and out of hospitals for lengths of up to four months at a time. The wife felt absolutely awful for neglecting their sweet horses and donkey while she remained by her husband's side in the hospital. The trio had been living in a pasture, essentially untouched, for a year or so. Life throws everyone curveballs at times, which can be especially hard on horse owners. With it being just the husband and wife, the wife was faced with the reality of knowing everyone needed her; her beloved husband as well as their trio of equines. I can't imagine how hard it was for her to knowingly have to sacrifice time with their horses in order to be by her husband's side. With a heavy heart, the wife knew the equines needed and deserved more, and reached out for assistance. We gladly offered our help and services. Tears were shed and comforting hugs given as we loaded the three new lovebugs into our trailer. There was only one injury ... one of the newly donated trailer ties was ripped in half by Ladybug 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ She's strong! I always tell people who are surrendering their animals that there will be no judgements on our part. Life happens, that's just the way it is. It is not my place to judge. It takes immense courage and bravery to admit shortcomings and ask for assistance. I would rather that than a prideful owner, too ashamed to ask for help, watch their beloved equine continually decline. I use the term equines with these three because while Waldo, the donkey, is not a horse, they all are equines 🥰❤. #horsesofinstagram #rescuehorses #paintedhartsrescue https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpUdXthP1z/?igshid=dlnhp931blxd
