MBT Ranch, formally known as R&M Ranch, needs your
help. There are some personal things going on in our lives, many
changes. I will update as I can. I know a lot of you don't know what
is going on with our personal lives right now and have been asking.
I'm sorry that I am unable to say what is going on, because I know a
lot of you care. I know some of you who are close friends and family
do know, and Ty and I appreciate your support during this difficult
time. I want to thank everyone who helped in any way! You are sooo
appreciated! We do need to rehome a lot of our animals and the
rescues tho, the list is as follows:
Need homes ASAP! Please share! All located in the Elwood
Indiana area.
Horses:
Cocoa - approx 10 year old 13 hand Hackney Mix mare with trust
issues and has to be on drylot or she has laminitis bouts, is
currently sound now, is sweet and willing once she warms up to you,
would need knowledgeable smaller rider or might be able to be
trained to pull, has been on trails and ridden around the ranch, was
a Madison County neglect seizure back in 2011.
Star - (Star Promotion) 24 year old 16 hand OTTB mare, has
some arthritis starting up but is not ridden anymore, can be a
handful in the trailer, has to have a knowledgeable person riding,
been ridden at a couple shows (H/J) and around the ranch, hard
keeper, scars on back and rump from having severe rain rot when she
came in as a Madison County neglect seizure back in 2012.
Cats:
Mitten - 2 year old long haired black polydactyl, very
friendly and loves to be loved on, very vocal, sister to Lily, came
in as foster back in 2015 when just a bottle baby, signed over to us
by Elwood Indiana Animal Control in 2017.
Lily - 2 year old short haired black with rear dewclaws,
friendly and wants to be loved on but on her own terms, sister to
Mitten, came in as foster back in 2015 when just a bottle baby,
signed over to us by Elwood Indiana Animal Control in 2017.
Funny Face - brother in laws cat that was in the clinic a few
years ago very sick, I took her on because he works on the road all
the time, I can't remember her age (I'll ask him when I get a
chance). Can not get her to stop being very congested all the time,
only thing that seems to help is giving her benadryl twice a day,
but that still doesn't clear her up all the way. He said I could
rehome her if I could find a home that would take her on. She's
sweet, loves to be loved on, short haired calico with a lot of white.
So far that's all Ty and I have had time to talked about
rehoming. We still need to sit down and talk more, but it's a lot
for her & I to handle all at once with everything else going on.
We already found homes for the 3 goats, took them there last Sunday.
Might have found homes for Digger (Ty's old barrel cob), Spirit (one
of my trail horses), and possibly Tank (my other older trail horse).
But we're not for sure yet, so waiting to see what happens there
before I try to find them other homes. Might keep Tank, don't really
know yet. Definitely keeping Fiona (Ty's jumper), she'd kill me if I
didn't keep her.
