Meet Our Rescues

Rio
At just 5 years old, Rio enjoys running laps through pasture, taking giant naps, and meeting new people. He is working hard to understand personal space and loves asking humans for hugs. We adopted him after a brief period with an Amish trainer, but his early years are a mystery to us. He has been the most extensive hoof rehabilitation case we have seen and his legs will always show the signs of past neglect. We are thankful to have the opportunity to give him a safe and pain free life.​

Henry
Henry is the newest member of our family. We adopted him from Pony Tales Refuge and Rehab after his owner became too old to care for him. Henry is 25 years old with many markers of dwarfism including crooked legs, contracted tendons and severe dental challenges. He is spending his golden retirement years being pampered and making us smile at Wild Dreams Ranch. On occasion, Henry travels to school to partner with elementary students developing important life skills. ​

Treasure
Treasure is approximately 15 years old and is blind in his left eye. We adopted him from Pony Tales Refuge and Rehab after they saved him from a slaughter truck at auction. Treasure's progress has been nothing short of remarkable. He went from being nearly impossible to halter and terrified of humans to curious, loving, and playful. He is often the first to greet visitors at the gate, but still requires calm and slow handling. Treasure has humbled us and opened our eyes to a new level of patience.​

Maverick
At approximately 20 years old, Maverick is the oldest full-sized member of our herd. Based on his extensive knowledge we think he spent time as a cattle and trail horse. After being sold at auction, he ended up in a lesson program at a large barn in Minnesota which is where we adopted him from. Significant scarring on his legs and face is a reminder that his past holds many stories. Today, Maverick's favorite activity is being brushed and spoken to quietly. He often falls asleep during sessions!

Moon
Moon is 14 years old and adopted from Pony Tales Refuge and Rehab. Because he has the remainder of a racing tattoo, we were able to find his birth papers and history! He was a successful racehorse before slipping through the cracks and ending up at auction. When Moon came home with us, he was so weak that he couldn't run or hold up a back leg without falling over. We have partnered with chiropractors and nutritionists to help him gain back his strength and confidence.
He is now the leader of our herd.​

Millie & Teddy
Every once in a while the pups come out to say hello! Millie is a 5 year old chocolate lab who weighs in at a solid 105 pounds! She loves to swim in the pond and explore our wooded trails. Teddy is a 2 year old miniature golden-doodle who thinks he is either a herding dog or a cat depending on the day.
