HORSES

A CApPELLA, PIPER & CAROL

In March 2023 Piper and her mother, A cappella, were rescued from a feedlot in Texas. Piper was only 3 years old and pregnant. Both horses had never been handled before entering the feedlot.

On April 20, 2023, Piper had her baby while Oshea, our founder & president was taking the deposition of Law Professor Carole Goldberg. Oshea told the attorney defending her deposition, Erika Shao, that she needed to suspend the deposition because the vet had arrived. Ms. Shao graciously agreed and asked what animal is the vet coming to see. Oshea told her it was a horse and she asked what the horses name was. She told her it’s currently a horse with no name because it was just born. Carole said, you can name it after me. The baby has a heart on her back so she got the name (heart symbol) Carol.

FOXTROT & rAGTIME

On March 15, 2023 A cappella and her daughter, Piper, were rescued from a feedlot in Texas. Piper was only 3 years old and pregnant. Both horses had never been handled before entering the feedlot.

foxtrot (“foxy”)

Foxtrot (aka “Foxy”)

Foxtrot & Ragtime are former Amish cart horses. In 2020 they were sent to a feedlot in Texas. The morning they were scheduled to be shipped to Mexico to become dogfood we were able to intervene and get them shipped to California sight unseen.

Foxy was a 12-year-old at the time but he had never been ridden. By 2021 Foxtrot wa successfully trained to be ridden & is now one of our best trail horses who has carried beginners, lawyers, mediators & judges on local rides & at countless cowboy lawyer events all over California & through the mountains.

RAGTIME (“KISSY”)

Ragtime (aka “Kissy”)

Foxtrot & Ragtime are former Amish cart horses. In 2020 they were sent to a feedlot in Texas. The morning they were scheduled to be shipped to Mexico to become dogfood we were able to intervene and get them shipped to California sight unseen.

Kissy was 3 years old at the time & had terrible ringbone that was extremely uncommon for a horse of his age, indicating that he had been worked too hard at a young age when he was still developing. He since has been trained to give pony rides & do photo ops. This year we were able to have him seen by the skilled vets at Alamo Pintado who confirmed the ringbone has completely fused so he is able to become a trail horse & carry adult riders.

Reba McEntire

While we were rescuing Piggy Smalls, we found Reba a quarter horse who had been on the run in Whittier. She was also tired of horse solitary confinement with only barking dogs and a pig to talk to so she happily walked right into the trailer and became one of our best trial horses.
