The heaven of laminits remission
https://swingindhorserescue.com/20191210_153852-mp4/ Okay, before we get started, stop what you’re doing and knock on wood. At the risk of sending Anastasia into a spiral of pain and me into a frenzy of panic and desperation, I’ve been asked to share what we’re doing to keep our little angel’s chronic laminitis at bay. Let’s hope this doesn’t […]
The Perfect Horse
What could I have ever done
To earn the fate I’m dealt?
The violent death of butcher’s gun
All promise forever squelched
We knew he was special
Every story begins the same at Swingin’ D Horse Rescue: We didn’t have room, but Choco was in danger of shipping to slaughter, so we found a way.

Baby needs a new pair of shoes
The one certainty in my life seems to be that when it rains, it is damn sure gonna pour. That point was most recently hammered home when – after months of peace, quiet and comfort for Anastasia – the gorgeous Missouri Fox Trotter greeted me for breakfast with a painful hobble instead of her typical […]
Why I invested $6,500 in a $350 horse
“You might have to put this one down.” I’ll never forget when trusted, well-meaning friends suggested Ralphie, at the tender age of 2, was too far gone to save. Broken, starved, sickly and abused, he was afraid of his own shadow when we he arrived from a kill pen just after Christmas 2017. Traumatized from […]
