I can no longer personally finance the rescues operations and run the daily operations, as well as work my job and be a supportive wife to my husband in his struggles. Heartfelt wishes and prayers are wonderful but they don&#39;t pull horses from auction nor pay the bills that come with rescues.&lt;br /&gt;
2. <br />
3. I am Very proud of the fact that we have made a difference to so many horses. I am grateful for every dollar that has come our way and every hour and hand that has been given in the efforts to help the horses since 2009.<br />
4. <br />
5. We are officially closing the rescue doors as of 31st. We are donating our rescue tack to horses honor<br />
6. <br />
7. My personal efforts to help horses will continue as time and funds allow, I will continue gentling and finding homes for the many mustangs in holding pens. My efforts will be posted on its own page ( <a href="https://www.loneoakmustangs.com/">https://www.loneoakmustangs.com</a> ) and you are invited to follow on Facebook as well ( <a href="https://www.facebook.com/loneoakmustangs">https://www.facebook.com/loneoakmustangs</a> )<br />

9. For those of you who have supported the rescues efforts, even if just in spirit, my heart felt thanks.</description><link>http://loneoakrescue.blogspot.com/2018/03/march-2018_31.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lone Oak Rescue - Horse Rescue &amp;amp; Rehabilitation)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853016114833692424.post-523462595038686038</guid><pubDate>Sun, 06 Aug 2017 20:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2017-08-06T13:36:24.443-07:00</atom:updated><title>August 1  2017 </title><description>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Our mission continues to do our part bringing horses to a safe place. We are dedicated to making a difference one horse at a time. Weather it be a horse who has found its way to animal control, dumped at an auction, forgotten in a pasture or just a result of families having to make hard choices, we will do our best to help, through rehab and retraining and finding them a new home.&amp;nbsp; As I went through the hundreds of photos for this blog entry I am flooded with years of memories, of the over 100 horses our few hands have rescued and recovered from countless horrid conditions. Not all of our stories have happy endings, but the ones that do far exceed the ones that came to us too late, and it makes me push on. The rescue is still very much in need and we strive to make our small ranch better with each project and know that one day the big projects will be done, meanwhile we fit in what time and funds allow and put our horses as our priority. &lt;br /&gt;
103. These past few weeks we have been very busy bringing in several new horses. We have several mustangs who are being gentled and will then be ready to be started under saddle as well as others who are being restarted.<br />

They may not be suffering abuse nor at risk of slaughter, but they are there without their own person, just waiting to be chosen and blossom into wonderful partners. These horses are truly clean slates with the right training their abilities can take you into most any discipline. We can help you find your new equine partner and complete the gentling process. There are countless colors and sizes to choose from. All adoptions through our TIP program are a joint program through the BLM and the Mustang Heritage Foundation. The application process and adoption fee of $125 is through the BLM, we can assist you through the approval process and choosing the right horse. We will transport your choice to the rescue where we will then gentle your new equine partner. Please consider one of these wonderful horses if you are looking for a new project.</span></div>

The funds from their training are being directed to grain and&amp;nbsp;supplements for the new rescues as well as our last farrier cycle which was over $500.&amp;nbsp;In addition the funds will help purchase building supplies for the new solid round pen. We have one more of this&amp;nbsp;bunch of TIP horses who has made great progress and expect he will soon be ready to go to his new home as well&lt;br /&gt;
274. <br />
275. <br />
276. We will be accepting 2 new horses into the TIP program at Lone Oak rescue in the upcoming weeks, if you are interested please contact us so we can match your preferences if possible.<br />
277. <br />
278. <br />
279. Along with upcoming mustangs we have several horses available for adoption, from rescues to courtesy listing with a portion of their sale donated to the rescue.<br />
280. We have also taken in two new rescues, both Arabians and quite bonded. The mare is quite underweight but otherwise healthy. The gelding is younger and simply in need of conditioning.<br />

A lot has happened in 2016, and is time to catch everyone up! The construction and clean up of the new property has taken much more time and money then planned, and we&#39;ve had many delays from personal injuries and recovery, but are now back on track and moving forward. We might not be cosmetically and functionally complete but we&#39;ve&amp;nbsp;made good progress.&lt;br /&gt;
284. <br />
285. We have the arena and round pens in place. We have a separate quarantine area for new intakes, two at a time, and we have a mustang barn and custom pens for the mustang program. <br />
286. The red barn has been upgraded to the mustang facility, complete with custom 7 ft corrals.<br />
287. It is a key component to the mustang program we started participating in last June. We are taking in unhanded mustangs from the BLM (Bureau of land management ) and through the Mustang Heritage Foundation are TIP training these mustangs so they are ready for adoption. They come to us unhandled and are gentled and trained to lead, groom, tied, load and pickup their feet. They are then available through the Mustang Heritage Foundation to adopt for a fee of $125. The fee received from the TIP training, is donated to the rescue for the care of these and all the horses at Lone Oak. <br />
288. <br />
289. Nevada and Levi were the first two horses to come through the TIP program here at Lone Oak. They have both been adopted and have gone to their new homes. Emmett was next, he has been adopted and will go out following his farrier visit. Cassanova and Spirit were the last two, both are still at the rescue but have pending adopters, Cass is almost finished his training, and Spirit is still early in the gentling process.  If you are interested in adoption a mustang and having us do the TIP training please contact me. we will have openings in February. <br />
290. <br />
291. We have yet to rebuild our 8 stall barn which was relocated to make room for the arena, unfortunately our helpers had a personal crisis so it was delayed and now we are delayed further due to weather. It and our hay barn repairs are the two major projects for this spring. <br />
292. We are also constructing a solid round pen to aid in gentling the mustangs and for first rides on the horses in training. <br />
293. <br />
294. We currently have numerous senior horses who will live out their lives here as well as a slow but steady influx of rescues and mustangs. We always in need extra hands for care and maintenance of horses and of course the fun office work behind the scenes. We really need another hand to help with the computer blog and Facebook updates, computer knowledge is essential. We ask for your support in any way you are able, financially we are always in need, and are looking for sponsors for our new intakes, their initial rescue and recovery and follow up care. Please contact us for helping at the rescue and donations may be made through our Paypal account. <br />
295. As always we thank you for your support, and looking forward great success stories in 2017.<br />

443. Our first rescue of 2017 is a sweet Appaloosa we've named Dustin. He needs groceries, and then will be evaluated for training and available for adoption. His winter coat and color hides the fact that he is underweight, but hands on tell a different story, no worries Dustin, you'll get fat and happy this year!<br />

490. Please be patient while waiting for this transition to take place, we are still very much up and running though at a slower pace with renovations at the rescue taking more time and funds than expected. Your support as always needed and appreciated greatly. <br />
491. <br />
492. <br />
493. One of our new ventures is helping some of the many mustangs who are in holding pens with the BLM to find new homes. We are taking in two at a time and gentling them so they can be further trained and adopted into qualified homes. The two pictured below are 6 year old geldings. The adoption fee for one of these gentled horses is $125. All applications and approvals are through the mustang heritage foundation, applications may also be picked up at the rescue.To learn more about the adoption process and how you can adopt please visit the website.<br />

We unfortunately are not accepting new horses at this time, instead we are focusing on the development of the ranch, and supporting areas so we can regroup and be able to stay strong and successful in our efforts. &lt;br /&gt;
549. <br />
550. We are busy developing plans, and getting ready with the new projects. Those include moving barns, tack rooms, creating an obstacle course, adding an arena and a new round pen, replacing fencing and putting up new fence. To date we have set up the new round pen and have had the initial prep for the barn pad completed.<br />
551. <br />
552. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
553. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rO5bOatI1Jc/VUxtJ5Kxo1I/AAAAAAAAvSw/HJWIwqxOe5c/s1600/20150221_142114.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rO5bOatI1Jc/VUxtJ5Kxo1I/AAAAAAAAvSw/HJWIwqxOe5c/s320/20150221_142114.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
554. The new site of the arena will encompass the areas of the barns and more, in total should be approx. 80 x 120. <br />
555. <br />
556. The projects are many and we could use help for many things. If you are interested in being a part of our continued success please contact us. We are accepting new members to our board, and need volunteers with construction and electrical experience. General labor is always needed and welcome. <br />
557. If you are not able to lend a helping hand but want to support our efforts please consider a donation of funds or supplies for our rescue facilities. All donations are tax deductible.<br />
558. <br />
559. We look forward to seeing the projects completed and our rescue back in full swing!<br />

571. With the New Year well underway our plans for the new location have been firmed and are underway. with trial and error in our physical set up, we have discovered the need to relocate key elements of the rescue. This means we are relocating both of our barns to permanent locations and making room for a new arena and two round pens, utilizing our rustic barns for tack rooms and refurbishing our pole barn. As well there will be a volunteers area where we can have refreshments and other formal viewing areas to watch events and horses under training.</div>
572. <div style="text-align: left;">
573.  </div>
574. <div style="text-align: left;">
575. To make time and moneys available we have had to halt any incoming horses and all public activities both to ensure public safety and to focus on improvements. If you would like to donate to these vital improvements we would appreciate your support, and remember all donations are tax deductible, donations can be made through our PayPal under the name of Lone Oak Rescue. If you have a skill you would like to share, we are in need of labor help and electrical and pluming work on the new buildings. To date we have relocated the largest of our round pens, and have started the ground work for the largest barns location, falling trees and removing boulders. The pens have found permanent locations, water has been rerouted and permanent single waters are being installed.</div>

587. We are happy to say we have had 3 more horses find their forever homes, Misty, Robyn and Chip have gone as a family to a family, Grandma, mom and daughter have all gotten back into personal horses and have chosen these great horses to be a part of their family. We were very happy to have come to know this family and will be watching the progress of the continued progress of these horses.<br />
588. <br />
589. The rescue has calmed down, and we are taking a much needed deep breath. We are trying to regroup from a physical and financial trying year, and getting ready to move to the next stage of development. Lone Oak will focus on rehabilitation and rescue on a smaller scale and give our most senior horses companionship and love they deserve through our volunteer base and therapeutic riding.The program is still in development and will take time and funds, we are anxious to get our property ready for this exciting future.<br />
590. <br />
591. Meanwhile we have 4 horses looking for&amp;nbsp;homes and sponsorship for the 12&amp;nbsp;who will remain here at Lone Oak Rescue. Sponsorship can be as little as $5, every small bit helps be it for a worming medication, a farrier&amp;nbsp;visit, a&amp;nbsp;vaccination or a bag of feed.&amp;nbsp;Donations are easy through our PayPal link for either single or recurring donations. Remember all donations are tax deductible. If you think you would like to be a part of our volunteer team, or are able to sponsor one of our permanent residents be sure to contact us at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:info@loneoakrescue.org&quot;&gt;info@loneoakrescue.org&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://loneoakrescue.blogspot.com/2014/11/november-news.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lone Oak Rescue - Horse Rescue &amp;amp; Rehabilitation)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853016114833692424.post-4815786947180993256</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-10-24T01:29:34.475-07:00</atom:updated><title>October 24 2014</title><description>&lt;b&gt;October has come quickly and with it some changes besides the weather!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
592. We are very happy to say that we have had several of our mares go to their new homes.<br />
593. <br />
594. <i>Seren</i> has been waiting for her forever home, having grown up here at the rescue. She has grown into a beautiful mare and we are happy that she has won Tj's heart even before Tj met her.<br />
595. Crystal came along with Tj to pick up Seren and looked at our available homrses as well, Crystal chose to give<i> Holly</i> a new home, we are happy to say that Seren and Holly are  going to the same facility, this is great for them since they have spent  numerous years together. Seren and Holly were rescued together and now are placed together.<br />
596. <br />
597. <i>Gem </i>as well went to her new home where she is being pampered by Stephanie. She is back on the property that originally housed Lone Oak Rescue, though it is her first time there.<br />
598. <br />
599. Jenny came out to visit us and found her new family horse in <i>Scarlett</i>. Scarlett will join another mare down the road from Jenny and be loved on by many family members. We are happy to say her new mom is spoiling her and already sending in updates!<br />
600. <br />
601. We love to hear about our past horses and how they are doing, please send picture s or drop a note when you can, we so love to know they are loved and happy!<br />
602. <br />
603. <span style="font-size: large;">We still have several horse looking for their new homes, </span><br />
604. They are Chica, Rico, Robyn, Dante, Misty and Angel.<br />
605. <br />
606. <i><b>Chica</b></i> is coming 3 nd is a sweet filly, she has had much ground work started and loves the attention.<br />
607. <br />
608. <i><b>Rico</b></i> continues to rebuild trust and we are happy to say he is finally holding his weight.He is back under saddle, taking baby steps gaining his trust.<br />
609. <br />
610. <i><b>Dante</b></i> has dropped weight with the change in weather so is back on additional supplements to get back those few pounds before the cold sets in. Dante is well broke and needs a small rider experienced with Arabians.<br />
611. <br />
612. <i><b>Robyn</b></i> is our well broke quarter mare who still has more go that Whoa. She is an easy keeper and looking for that energetic rider who can match her energy!.<br />
613. <br />
614. <i><b>Misty</b></i> continues her training, now being ground driven in anticipation of being under saddle. Patricia has made great strides in building trust with this once un handled mare.Misty is an easy keeper and a looker to boot!. Misty needs a person experienced with training to continue her progress.<br />
615. <br />
616. <i><b>Angel </b></i>is still needing lots of attention to build trust and when worried she paces and weaves which makes it very hard to maintain her weight. It is a balance between keeping her moving, yet restricted to keep her weight on. She worries easily and fusses when her pasture mates are changed. Still she is a sweet mare and we are hoping to get her to the point of relaxing so we can easily maintain her feet and weight without the constant battle it is now.<br />
617. <br />
618. In addition to the horses looking for their new homes we have numerous who will stay with the rescue.<br />
619. We are always in need of extra hands to help with daily care, grooming exercise and general help. Give us a call or drop a line if you can join our efforts!</description><link>http://loneoakrescue.blogspot.com/2014/10/october-24-2014.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lone Oak Rescue - Horse Rescue &amp;amp; Rehabilitation)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853016114833692424.post-8157495943031852140</guid><pubDate>Tue, 16 Sep 2014 04:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-09-17T12:07:08.717-07:00</atom:updated><title>September 15 2014</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;It has been too quiet at the rescue and we are feeling the pinch more than just a little.

680. a 501c3 non-profit since 2009. We have rescued and placed over 100 horses with just a small handful of volunteers and supporters. Our focus now is on maintaining the rescue and planning for the future to remain viable. The drought has had a huge impact on us, our pastures are spent and adoptions are down dramatically. Of our 19 current residents we will provide forever homes for the most senior horses, but we still need to place 5.<br />
681. I have always spoke on behalf of the rescue and our volunteers and our group efforts for the horses overall benefit, but now I am speaking from a personal note. I am not good at asking for help, I have always seen the rescue as my responsibility and always will. I am currently providing the bulk of the care and costs for the rescues 19 horses but am at the point where I can no longer do it alone. No one receives any compensation for helping the rescue . No donations pay for power, rent, any items or ranch supplies, all donations go to help the horses. Our biggest issue today is feed. The current costs of the feed alone is $1100/month. I am asking for your support.<br />
682. You can help with a monthly donation of $10-$25 or help sponsor a horse for $60 a month. Donations can be set up through Palpal, or through the mail or in person.<br />
683. Watch for more information on our ongoing work with the horses and what your donations are helping us to accomplish. Our next volunteer day is September 13, We need your help, please contact me with any questions, to volunteer or to join our efforts behind the scenes.<br />

We have been in operation for the past 6 years helping horses. The rescue&#39;s success is a result of a handful of people who help me care for the numerous horses that have come through our gates. This is not only the home for the rescue but for myself and my son and grandchildren as well. I have been juggling obligations between my family and the rescue for 3 years now with the last year being a very difficult one. Current&amp;nbsp; drought conditions and very few donations coupled with the many horses in need has been difficult.&lt;br /&gt;
688. At this time we are discussing the rescues future and the direction we are heading to ensure we can continue to help horses in need. We have a great deal of interest from the community and the young people interested in both helping the horses in need and learning  and developing their skills to become knowledgeable and responsible horse owners. We have always planned on having a riding program bringing horses and children of all ages and abilities together and bringing the local riders together in various programs,  so that is the direction we are going to head. Once the programs are set up then we will bring in new rescues in smaller numbers.<br />
689. The rescue has the room and ability to meet the needs of a therapeutic program, to develop programs to work with the local 4H children, and design and development for trail training and  challenge course for adult riders. All of this of course will take time and money and a great deal of work.  <br />
690. As many of you know the ranch I moved the rescue to in 2012 was in great need of repair and cleanup. Though much has been accomplished there is still much to do before we can institute a new program here.&amp;nbsp; I look forward to us becoming more involved with the community and being able to focus on education of riders and horses vs projects and know that day will come, though not soon enough. Time and physical and financial constraints dictate the need to reduce our numbers and focus on restructuring to meet the future plans. We still have 18 horses here, of which we will keep 8-10 horses, those who are senior, special needs and suitable for therapy. We will place the remaining. In assisting those efforts and in consideration of the market and the cost of hay, our adoption fees are reduced to minimal and in some cases waived. Finding the right home for the horses is the most important thing to us. We have numerous riding horses as well as those who need training and light riding, pasture pals. All are sound and healthy. Foster arrangements and trial periods are encouraged to ensure the horse is a good match. We need to place these horses as quickly as possible so we can focus on development over the summer.&amp;nbsp; If you are interested in being a part of our efforts, can help with donations of funds, time, labor, materials or by providing a home for a horse in need please contact us.</description><link>http://loneoakrescue.blogspot.com/2014/05/new-directions.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lone Oak Rescue - Horse Rescue &amp;amp; Rehabilitation)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853016114833692424.post-4363941920854495681</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Mar 2014 11:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2014-03-05T03:56:32.788-08:00</atom:updated><title>Welcome Spring 2014</title><description>This&amp;nbsp;year has already brought us a great start with adoption and horses out on trial, with signs towards permanent placement. We have had horses return to us due to situation changes with their previous adopters and are happy to say 3 of the 4 quickly found new homes. Along with Gypsy, Jesse and Tessa, Willow went to her potential new home. We are hopeful all have found their final homes. &lt;br /&gt;
691. <br />
692. We have had several new horses come in, and they will soon be available, watch our Facebook page for frequent updates on each of the horses.<br />
693. <br />
694. <strong>Rico</strong> is a large quarter horse gelding in his teens, he will need to gain weight before he can go out to his home.<br />
695. <br />
696. <strong>Nika</strong> is a Morgan quarter cross, she is well broke, she was used as a lesson horse before she was abandoned at the barn by her last owner, she needs to be caught up on routine care then will be up for adoption.<br />
697. <br />
698. <strong>Scarolette</strong> is a sweet mare in her late teens, she is gentle and broke to ride, she is underweight and will need to gain weight before being up for adoption.<br />
699. <br />
700. <strong>Chip </strong>is a young Arabian gelding who was abandoned in the Bay area, he was placed with us through the local animal control agency, he is very gentle and broke to ride, but needs a refresher, we expect it has been some time since he was last rode, or perhaps never introduced to a bit.<br />
701. <br />
702. Several horses are not new to the rescue but are still waiting for their forever homes are<br />
703. <br />

710. <strong>Seren</strong>, a large 3 yr old bay filly, she needs further training.<br />
711. <br />
712. All of these horses are different in their abilities, training, size, personalities and temperaments. They are all in need of permanent homes, We invite you to contact us and come visit us to see if one of these are the right fit for your next horse.<br />

813. In the past three plus months we have placed numerous horses, though only taken in three rescues. This is due to myself being involved in a serious auto accident, thus limiting me physically and financially.We did have 3 abandoned donkeys come into our care, and of them two are in great foster homes.We fully expect Harriet<i> </i>to be adopted by Julie as a companion to their other donkey Gordo. Riz is being fostered by one of our board members Mary. The eldest, who we believed to be their mother, was loved on and spoiled in her final weeks here, then Sadie passed into Heavens pastures. In her short time here she won our hearts.<br />
814. <br />
815. In our spring posting we had 18 horses still looking for homes, of those we are very happy to say, only four remain.<br />
816. Mi Carina, Tessa, Asia<b>,</b> and Jessie all had their ground lessons and introduced to saddles before leaving the rescue, and all are now under saddle, We are especially proud of Asia, Mi Carina and Tessa as they were all young untouched horses rescued from the Fallon feedlot.<br />
817. <br />
818. Jessie was an auction rescue, as a fresh 2 year old stud he was not wanted so for $35 we rescued him. He was gelded and brought to a health weight and flourished under training.<br />
819. <br />
820. Dante was a neglected and underweight stud at the sale yard where he was even hidden from public view. No one bid on him except us, and then he too came to a safe place. Dante was brought back to a beautiful state of health by his foster mom Linda, and he has since found a local forever home.<br />
821. <br />
822. Gypsy and Robin were placed together adopted by a local mom and daughter, Lisa and Bre.<br />
823. <br />
824. Lightening too now has her own person. Sarah has made great strides with her training and expects her to be under saddle soon.<br />
825. <br />
826. Ginger too found her new home and was adopted to a local home.<br />
827. <br />
828. Mia and Macy found their permanent home together along with Sophia. All were fostered here by Allison while she and her family searched for and purchased their new home. They finally all relocated together from southern California to Washington state, with a pick up here of their three new family members. We know they are all loved and will be spoiled by Allison and her family.<br />
829. <br />
830. Choctaw found a new home were he joined a pretty mare as a pasture mate, he is very loved on and spoiled by his new mom Kristen and her family.<br />
831. <br />
832. Lady and Seren  are being fostered by Kelly and her family who also adopted Jessie and Tessa.<br />
833. <br />
834. Holly has come back to us as she and Chris did not bond even after several months of trying. She was well cared for and expect she may have suffered abuse by a man prior to coming to us as she is much more relaxed with female handlers. We are hopeful Lady is a good match for Chris and know both she and Seren will have a great start under his hand if they continue to foster. Updates to follow.<br />
835. <br />
836. Of our remaining horses for adoption we have four, they all are at different stages of training, and are being worked with to continue their progress.<br />
837. <br />
838. <b>Gem</b> is a small quarter horse mare, very friendly and loves children, she is broke to ride.<br />

847. <br />
848. <b>Willow</b> has had a great start and expect her to be back in training with Patricia and started under saddle. She is a small mare, and would be a great youth prospect.<br />
849. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

851. <br />
852. <br />
853. <b>Holly </b>has been back only a short time and we are starting again with basics to build trust so she is able to get past general fears and giving her as much time as she needs, she is best suited for a female adopter.<br />
854. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

856. <br />
857. <b>Misty</b> is no longer the frightened wild mare she came to us as. She is under halter, learning the basics to ground training and desensitizing. Misty at this point need an experienced owner and trainer.<br />

862. <br />
863. On a personal note I have to give great thanks to Patricia and Mary for their work over these past months to get these horses ready for adoption, and enabled them to find new homes. I could not do this without you. To my son Christian who has had to take over the physical feeding and cleaning since my injury and surgery, your daily efforts literally keep this rescue alive. To our supporters, volunteers and donors, thank you because without you too this rescue could not exists.<br />
864. .<br />
865. As owners we have a responsibility to care for the animals we bring into our lives. Our horses depend on us and we owe it to them to give them the best quality of life possible. This does not mean fancy barns and such, it means a safe loving, home that provides adequate shelter, food, veterinary and farrier care to maintain their best state of health possible. The trust and faith they put in us their owners should not be broken, yet too often it is. It is a hard thing to see an animal suffer and it is by choice that we as members of this rescue come into their lives to better it, and often to literally save it.<br />
866. If you as an owner, know that you for whatever reason are unable or unwilling to do right by your animals, please contact an agency, a rescue and ask for help. Ensure they can and will provide that safe, healthy, loving environment  that your animal deserves. Ask questions, check their history, visit your animal and ensure they remain safe, if you have doubts, or are refused information go elsewhere.<br />
867. <br />
868. Our rescue has an open door policy, you are welcome to come visit, volunteer and encourage you to do so with any rescue asking for your support. <br />
869. Our remaining summer and early fall months are expected to be quiet as I have still to recover from my injuries, but we will be back at the sale yards and bringing in horses in need as soon as we are able.<br />
870. As always, my deepest thanks, appreciation and gratitude for your support of  Lone Oak Rescue.<br />

There has been much progress on cleaning up the property and plans are in the works for additional round pens and arenas. Time and money are always in short supply so progress is slow, but it is there. This progress with the ranch is largely due to the hours of work dedicated to the rescue by my children Christian and Elisa, and progress with the horses in training is thanks to Patricia and Mary. I am so glad they have come on board and joined our&amp;nbsp;rescue as board members. &lt;br /&gt;
873. <br />
874. None of our work could be accomplished without the support of volunteers and donations. Thank you to our local volunteers and students from the FFA, 4H and Fresno State who continue to work with Patricia and Mary with the horses.<br />
875. <br />
876. I especially want to thank our financial supporters, who's support is greatly needed and appreciated, in particular Marsha G and Shawn E for your very generous support. Thanks to Marsha we have had numerous horses rescued from auction and thanks to Shawn whos donation has covered all spring vaccinations, worming and farrier care. <br />

We have our 2 barns up and we have now several large pens to separate horses into.A special thank you to my son Christian and daughter Elisa for their efforts in assembling of our barns and pens.&amp;nbsp;Our round pen is being used well by our newest board member Patricia Vallentyne who stays busy training several of our horses. We are in process of setting up a larger arena in which to continue training and exercise those under saddle.
936. <br />
937. We have several adoptions that have taken place since coming to our new home, they are JD, Whiskey, Grace, Jester, Ray and Kay and we have pending adoptions with Splash, Lightening, and Holly. Colton is currently being sponsored off site by Patricia. Of our latest rescue horses we are happy to provide a forever home to Spirit and Jackson, they will join Mahogany, Rio and Tina in permanent placement here at Lone Oak. As mentioned Patricia is busy training horses, those horses currently in training include Jessie, Willow, Choctaw, Lady, Mia and Macy. <br />
938. Our new location means new challenges and opportunity alike. We are in need of more hands to help with the many duties of running the rescue and the ideas for expansion and community involvement are many. We have a need for additional hands to work with our many horses that need training. If you are an experienced horse person and interested in assisting Patricia with horse evaluation and training please email us with your information. We would like 2 more persons to work with Patricia in preparing horses for adoption. As well we are looking for several individuals to assist in management of key areas of the rescue, including, volunteer recruitment and management; site development and management; public awareness and fundraising management. These individuals will be responsible for planning and general operation within their areas. If you are interested in becoming a key member in our rescue or simply want to help with daily care including cleaning, feeding, grooming and exercising horses, please contact us. If you are local you are welcome to make an appointment to come out and discuss your ideas and availability. <br />
939. Being new in the area, many do not know we are here, so we need to spread the word! I am looking forward to meeting members of the local Back Country Horseman’s Association and sharing our rescue mission and hope to raise awareness and invite others to join our rescue efforts. If you know of a group who would like to know more about us or would like to be involved with the rescue please let us know, we can arrange a presentation or a visit. We are always looking for opportunity to share the rescue mission and encourage others to be involved.<br />
940. As with many non-profits this is a difficult time and we are in great need of donations, if you are able please consider a single or small monthly donation, even small amounts help. We currently provide care for 22 horses, and donations of hay or feed are greatly needed. We are also happy to accept any donation of horse or non-horse items as well, as we will soon be opening our own eBay store to help raise funds for the rescue.<br />
941. Our efforts together add up to helping these horses into a safe and loving homes, our rescue is 100% volunteer run by people who want to make a difference. To our newest helpers Patricia, Kayleen and Bree thank you for being a part of our success. <br />

October is upon us and soon the rains will follow, A blessing and a curse... we need the rain, and for the grass to be plentiful, but without all of our shelters or sand and gravel in place we will be in quite the mess. If you are able to help with a donation of any building materials, sand, gravel or able to help lend a hand please contact us as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
950. The days are filled with unlimited projects, I am very grateful for my family who is able to be working maintaining the ranch and working on the many projects while I work on the incoming funds. This year is the most difficult, setting up so we can move ahead with more rescue and training of current horses.<br />
951. We desperatly need donations for feed and vaccinations. In efforts to raise funds we are collecting items for our silent auction, please donate an item, service or gift certificate if able. We want to hold the auction in the upcoming weeks. Even the small items add up, all funds raised will go towards our feed bill for this winter. <br />
952. At this time we are buying a small load at a time, funds simply do not allow for a large purchase, so the need is ongoing. <br />
953. Please watch our facebook for frequent update and pictures of our horses. As always we are open to sponsors and fosters, If you cannot adopt please consider fostering or donating, every dollar helps. Remember that any donation to the rescue is tax deductable, and thank you so much for your support. <br />

Much work has been done at the new home of Lone Oak, the clean up continues along with the construction of our buildings. We are currently completing the reassembly of both our 4 and 8 stall barns, and getting quotes on permanent pens and a &quot;solid&quot; training round pen. Taking on horses with little to no handling has required us to rethink some of our current pens both for animal and trainers safety. Our future plans include 2 round pens and a large arena for exercise and training. We are needing to have additional shelters built before winter weather arrives, if you are interested in helping us complete additional projects, please let us know, as we are always in need of volunteers.&lt;br /&gt;
969. <br />
970. I am very excited to welcome Patricia Vallentyne to our rescue, she will serve as our newest board member. Patricia is a very experienced horsewoman who specializes in natural horsemanship and training. In addition to working with our horses, she will be a valuable resource in assessing both training and general temperments prior to adoption. Currently we have several horses who need complete or continued training and are excited to have the extra hands to evaluate and prepare them for adoption.<br />
971. <br />
972. <br />
973. If you have an interest in working with the rescue behind the scenes please contact us, we are always looking for experienced individuals who are looking to make a difference, especially needed are those who want to help us fundraise and to write grand proposals.<br />
974. <br />
975. Our rescue currently has several new horses, some who are ready for adoption others who need time to recover, and a couple who will stay here at Lone Oak as permenant residents<br />
976. Our permenant residents horses are now at 5 and we have 21 others on site or in sponsorship who are for adoption, of those horses we have two pending adoptions.<br />
977. We are looking for permenant placements and sponsorship/foster for as many of our horses as possible before the winter weather arrives, if you are interested in adoption or sponsorship please contact us. <br />
978. <br />
979. With 26 horses to care for we are needing help with our biggest expense of feed. Please help with your donations,as every dollar helps. Of course donations of any type are always needed and appreciated.<br />
980. On behalf of the rescue and our wonderful horses, I thank you for your support.</description><link>http://loneoakrescue.blogspot.com/2012/09/september-15-2012.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Lone Oak Rescue - Horse Rescue &amp;amp; Rehabilitation)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7853016114833692424.post-7527994318055455508</guid><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2012 07:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-08-07T00:37:41.519-07:00</atom:updated><title>August Updates</title><description>As many of you know we have relocated to Coarsegold, north of Fresno&amp;nbsp;in the Yosemite foothills, the transition is still in progress.&lt;br /&gt;
981. These days have been long and are tiring, but well worth the efforts when we sit back and see the progress that has been made. We have been busy with hauling away years of neglect and debris. To date there has been approx 8 Tons removed from the property. Several key areas have been cleared  making room for the pens and barns to be reassembled. As these tasks are completed we are able to start seperating the herd and bring the focus back on individual horses and their evaluation/training. <br />
982. <br />
983. We are currently resonsible for 23 horses. With these high numbers we are unable to take in others until some of these are placed. Of these we do have several permenant residents.<br />
984. I am happy to report we do have several horses going out on trial and others are being adopted into forever homes. <br />
985. Of the current horses at the rescue we have 2 out on sponsorship, JD and a new gelding, Whiskey, who was recently surrendered to us.<br />
986. We have Lightening and Holly going out on trial to Lillian in the central valley.<br />
987. We expect Grace to be adopted by 3 wonderful ladies in southern California and Kay will be going to the coast adopted by Lynn, Pete and family.<br />
988. We have recent inquiries on other horses, including Jake, Adonis and Jesse and are hoping they too have permenant homes soon.<br />
989. It is exciting to see these great horses going into new homes but many others are still in need. If you can adopt or sponsor please contact us, by giving a horse a home you help us help others in need.<br />
990. <br />
991. <br />
992. With the new ranch coming together we will be able to have volunteer days again soon. We do need local people who can assist with feeding, exercising and training, as well as behind the scenes work processing adoption applications and following up with both adopted horses and helping rescue those in need.<br />
993. <br />
994. In addition to physical needs we do have our financial needs as well... donations are few and desperatly needed now. If you are able to donate to our cause please do so through our website via pay pal, or through our local feedstores. All donations to the rescue are tax deductable.<br />
995. <br />
996. We do support our local businesses, and can pick up donations of any type at any suppliers within the area. You are also welcome to bring your donations and come to visit us and the horses you are helping.<br />
997. Local suppliers  include<br />

1015. <br />
1016. We need local help to get the rescue up running and continue to help horses. Our focus will be local horses and horses owners in need. It is my hope that we will soon have room for others and be able to attend the fall auctions and bring home those at risk horses. Look for new pictures and updates as we continue our transition and settle into our new home.<br />
