You're here because you love all equines, great and small. We get it! We’ve been rescuing equines since 1998, so we've learned a thing or two about caring for horses and donkeys — and we’re happy to share. Whether you'd like to know more about caring for your horse, you’re curious about donkeys, you’re interested in becoming a first responder or you’ve witnessed horse abuse and want to know what to do next — we have you covered:
Texas heat is hard on our entire herd, but especially for our seniors like Jericho here. Older equines struggle with regulating their body temperature, have trouble breathing, and can become dehydrated quickly. The cost of caring for them adds up fast — can you send a gift and help us prep for the season?
Get inspired. Get informed. Get your calendar ready.
Blessing’s story shows what love can do. In December of 2019, we got a call from the sheriff of a nearby county about a horse who needed an immediate rescue. We didn’t know much, but we didn’t need to. He said the horse needed urgent help so we left immediately.
After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, law enforcement from another county asked us to rescue 11 horses who had been pulled out belly-high water. Many people had seen them trapped in the flood but, in the wake of the catastrophe, it took several days for animal control to reach them.
Who doesn’t love a mini horse? Mini horses couldn’t be cuter! And that’s the problem. Unethical breeders let their greed drive them into creating littiler and littiler horses — small enough even to be a house pet. The result is that, even when their frame is tiny, their internal organs stay large. And that’s how Munchie came to be a permanent member of the Miracle Ranch herd.
