Welcome!

A Ton of Love Draft Horse Rescue was founded in August of this year. We decided to keep a detailed blog about taking on our first rescue. We feel that it is important to show those who have donated and supported us along the way exactly where there money went and that they really DID make a difference. The experience will no doubt be difficult but rewarding.

The Weston Chronicles - Part 2

(Stephanie writing)

When Damian and I decided that blogging would be an awesome way for donors and supporters to see the progress of rescued horses, our intent was to write frequently with updates. 

The only problem with that is -- Weston is not a typical rescue.

Since the minute we took him out of the Camelot auction, he has been a joy. He has no bad habits. (Knock on wood.) He wasn't sick. Our farrier, the AMAZING Angelo (That sounds like a circus act! He'll get a kick out of that!) said that Weston's feet were great. He eats good. He doesn't push the fence. I mean, I've done very little rescuing for this rescue. (Again, a MAJOR knock on wood.)

We're in the market for a western saddle for him. We only have draft saddles.

Today for the first time, I walked into the paddock and he came right over. Normally, Ajax and Sophia come and Weston lingers in the back. He was genuinely happy to see me. What an awesome feeling! He makes it worth all the challenges and drama that come with a horse rescue and then some.
