Throwback Thursday to October of 2010 when we had Thor, a Belgian that had worked hard all his life and came to the Sanctuary to enjoy his final years. He wasnt' with us for very long but he enjoyed every minute of his retirement.

He came to us blind in one eye and later lost sight out of his other eye. After a week of adjusting, he was perfectly fine. I sure do miss this guy. He was a stoic figure at the Sanctuary.

We would love to open our doors to another senior that deserves a golden retirement home. Won't you sponsor a senior horse in his/her final years?

Our Throwback Thursday is to this picture taken a long time ago (2011) but it's one I love and use often. I'm no photographer and I don't tweak any of the pictures that I take but some are just powerful all on their own.

Throwback Thursday is to last week when the herd reminded me that they needed to be in a different pasture (by taking out the fence). Now they are all happy and enjoying the new part of the big pasture.

Our Throwback Thursday is to earlier this week! I didn't post any patriotic pictures for the 4th of July so here's the best I can do!

Throwback Thursday is a throwback to Rabbit. We'll soon be saying goodbye to her, which chokes me up. 

We would love to have her final expenses paid, as it's always hard to say goodbye and a second whammy when the bill comes in. You can send checks to

Borderlands Horse Sanctuary

PO Box 35

Humboldt, SD 57035

or you can paypal any amount to www.paypal,me/Borderlands

Any amount will help.

Throwback Thursday to last year's Light the Night. A little different in where and when we had the fundraiser but still humbling and honoring. This truly is my favorite fundraiser.

Throwback Thursday to last fall. I (and the horses) are so ready for pasture time!

Our Throwback Thursday is to a few falls ago. I'm getting a bit tired of the odd winter so figured I'd share a picture of Tommy enjoying a quick romp through the pasture before heading in for the night.

Throwback Thursday to spring of 2013. 2013 was probably the roughest year in my life but the pictures don't show the heartache. It shows how much the horses helped get through the rough patches.

I am ready for spring...and so are the horses!

Throwback Thursday

Dude

Throwback Thursday is to last spring (or maybe it was the year before), waiting for spring. The horses were ready for spring back then and they are as ready for spring this year too!

Oh for green grass.

Our Throwback Thursday is to 2011 when we offered Dick the Percheron a home. We'd brought Dick home in March after a winter where he'd lost his teammate, Don. His owner's health was ailing so we offered to help them out. 

In fact, I remember seeing Dick and Don when I was younger and our family would head to Sioux Falls. I would drool over the two gray Percherons standing out in the pasture. Little did I know that I would be honored with the care of one of these Percherons for the remainder of his life. It's odd how life puts you in certain places.

Unfortunately, Dick was only with us for a few short months. He was 28 years old and the years had taken its toll on him. With with the loss of his teammate, we ended up having to say goodbye to him in August 2011. He was a sweet gentleman that in his hayday was the pride of his owner. 

Although we only had the honor of caring for him for a few short months, he made an impact on our lives.
