Joplin
...AKA The Entertainer AKA Jojo the Dressage Comic. Joplin came to LHER in 2009 with some undiagnosed health problems. Luckily, he caught the eye and heart of LHER volunteer Ellie K. She took a special interest in him and through diligence and commitment by both Ellie and Backstretch Vet, Joplin's issues were properly diagnosed and are now well-controlled. He remains at LHER's host barn, Century Mill, with Ellie as his permanent sponsor. We are all so happy that Jojo will spend the rest of his life under her special care!
Jojo the Dressage Comic has his own facebook page HERE- check him out!
Jimmy
This very special little foal came to us as a nursemare orphan in 2010. While the rest of his crew seemed to take to their new home well, Jimmy refused to eat and suffered from serious health complications as a result. Backstretch Vet, Century Mill, and a large crew of very dedicated LHER volunteers worked literally around the clock to save this baby. He was tube fed every 2 hours, 24 hours a day, and after several long weeks his strength began to return. After that, there was no stopping him! He grew and his personality really began to shine.
Mikayla C. adopted him and renamed him Colby. He is now a perfectly healthy and rambunctious 2 year old! LHER is so proud to have been able to save this special horse's life, and is thankful to all the volunteers, sponsors, and his adoptive family for everything they have put into giving him the best possible life after the worst possible start.
The Minis
Forrest and Pippin are two dwarf mini horses who came to LHER on Christmas Eve 2011. They were pulled from a kill pen at no more than a few weeks old! They remained with their mares (thank goodness!), who were adopted out to wonderful homes once the minis were weaned. However, these two both had issues with the development of their joints, requiring special care and physical therapy. LHER thought it best to keep them with us to ensure the best possible outcome for them.
Since they have wiggled their way into our hearts, they will remain at LHER indefinitely as ambassadors for the rescue. Bill and Cindy N. of Hudson, MA, have spent countless hours working on Natural Horsemanship with these two, making them calm and trusting. They have already ventured out successfully to raise awareness for LHER and will continue to do so. Anyone who visits LHER needs to stop by and give these two special boys a pet.

Carrot Carrot, an older school horse seeking a retirement home, was adopted by Laura and her family in early 2012. Laura says: :I wanted to let you know about Carrot's first month in his new home. Let me first say, that you can all be assured he is loved beyond belief! My son complains about missing him while he's at school, my husband visits him first when he gets home and often takes him for a walk, and my daughters both want to brush and ride him all the time. This does not even take into account the joy he has brought me on a daily basis. So thank you for the love and care you have provided for him and for nurturing his sweet nature!" |

Pippin Pippin was adopted in 2012 by Lori and Scott. Lori fell in love with Pippin during her weekly lessons at Becker College. She would go and visit him everyday to groom and spend time with him. Itwasn't long before Pippin stole her heart. Lori's says: "Last week my dream came true, my husband Scott adopted Pippin and gave him to me for my upcoming 60th birthday. Never in a million years did I anticipate this, but I feel truly blessed that he is now part of our family. I also want to say that joining Lucky Horse Equine Rescue has been a wonderful experience. Not only was I able to adopt Pippin, but I have met some wonderful and amazing new friends. It can’t get any better than that!" |
