Beyond Equine Guided Coaching, here at Wild Willow we have also helped others rescue horses. From helping them find the perfect home, to finding perfect matches for our own personal rescues, what matters most to us is that these horses find the perfect match to live out their lives and have a sense of purpose. The most important thing to us is that these horses each get the second chances they deserve. We believe the perfect home is out there for all animal companions - sometimes it just takes time to find each other. Below are some of our other rescues we have been involved in and their stories.
Rescued December 2021, Woody joined our herd. Born sometime April 2017, his soft brown eyes seemed to beg for us to take him home with us and we couldn't leave him behind. We spent a lot of time teaching him what love was again, and he got to enjoy over 90 days of professional training. He loved the camera and was often the star in all my
Rescued December 2021, Woody joined our herd. Born sometime April 2017, his soft brown eyes seemed to beg for us to take him home with us and we couldn't leave him behind. We spent a lot of time teaching him what love was again, and he got to enjoy over 90 days of professional training. He loved the camera and was often the star in all my photos. Observing him we quickly discovered he had a need for speed and a mind eager to please. We felt that if the right person came along for him, he would be available for adoption so that he could chase his potential and dreams. July 13th, 2024, the right person came, and he left to join his new herd in South Texas, where he will learn barrels and participate in rodeos. We knew this was the right person as we saw Woody bond with his new mom immediately, and he had other horses waiting for him named "Rex" and "Buzz." It was as if Toy Story was coming to life, and we knew it was time to let him graduate on. He will be very missed here at the ranch. He touched many lives and his goofy spirit helped with many sessions, meditation and so much more. We are thankful for the love we have poured into him to be passed on and we look forward to seeing him in rodeos soon with his new mom. Rescue horses do recover, and they go on to do great things!
Rescued January 2023, Raven's rescue mom immediately bonded with her. With a glowing black coat and sassy attitude, Raven left with her best friend, Whiskey, to the most perfect home. It was later discovered that she is partially blind in one eye, but that didn't stop Raven from being the princess that she is. A lean and tall Saddlebred,
Rescued January 2023, Raven's rescue mom immediately bonded with her. With a glowing black coat and sassy attitude, Raven left with her best friend, Whiskey, to the most perfect home. It was later discovered that she is partially blind in one eye, but that didn't stop Raven from being the princess that she is. A lean and tall Saddlebred, she now spends her days with the most loving rescue mom who spends every morning and night with them. They have lush acres to run and the greenest grass to enjoy. We love happy endings!
Rescued January 2023 alongside Raven, Whiskey is a calm, cool and collected gentleman. We could tell he was very attached to Raven and was her helper due to her partial blindness. Whiskey loves to eat and loves the ladies. His rescue mom immediately bonded with him and spends every day and night with the pair. He runs with Raven in the ac

Whiskey loves to eat and loves the ladies. His rescue mom immediately bonded with him and spends every day and night with the pair. He runs with Raven in the acres they now have to enjoy, along with some donkeys and cows.

Rescued February 2023, and named after a dear friend that passed away that was very passionate about horse rescue, Phoenix is lucky to have her rescue mom. She now spends her best days with 8 other rescues among 30 acres, where she can eat all the grass and enjoy bonding with her rescue mom while she gets groomed and treats daily. Once shy and reserved, she has since warmed up and is learning what love is again, one day at a time.

Rescued September 2023, alongside Judge the donkey, Sparrow was an orphaned filly at just 3 months old. Her rescue mom immediately connected with her. Sparrow spent some time at the ranch with our herd as she got more energy and her first vet check-ups. Judge enjoyed babysitting her in our quarantine paddock. Over a couple of days, she slowly came out of her lethargy and started to show her personality. After quarantine and vet checks, Sparrow was lucky to have had only a mild cough with no other issues. Today, she is now at her new home with another grown paint horse where she is very loved.
Rescued September 2022, and one of our first rescues outside of our main herd, Duchess stood like a queen at 18 hands high. Her rescue mom fell in love with her and her spirit. She had a lot of life in her, and it was decided to try and give our all to see if she could bounce back from extreme neglect and emaciation. Unfortunately, strang
Rescued September 2022, and one of our first rescues outside of our main herd, Duchess stood like a queen at 18 hands high. Her rescue mom fell in love with her and her spirit. She had a lot of life in her, and it was decided to try and give our all to see if she could bounce back from extreme neglect and emaciation. Unfortunately, strangles and other internal issues were past the point of no return. 8 days after rescue, strangles ruptured internally and she collapsed. Our gift to Duchess was her final week being nothing but love and kindness in her final days so she could go in peace. She will always remain the Queen of Percherons.
Rescued January 2023, Sally was a 2 year old Buckskin that needed immediate help. I remember seeing her spinning in circles in the kill pen. I walked in to see if we could connect... and I could tell she immediately smelt me and was looking out for me, but couldn't see me. Her rescue mom and dad who were with me, alongside other rescues,
Rescued January 2023, Sally was a 2 year old Buckskin that needed immediate help. I remember seeing her spinning in circles in the kill pen. I walked in to see if we could connect... and I could tell she immediately smelt me and was looking out for me, but couldn't see me. Her rescue mom and dad who were with me, alongside other rescues, all worked together to race her to our local veterinarian to see if there was a chance. Her rescue mom and dad stayed with her in the veterinarian hospital every day while we waited for results. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was THO - Temporohyoid osteoarthropathy - which had already caused Sally to be double blind and half deaf along with some neurological issues. It was unanimously decided that the best for young Sally would be to go to sleep, which is better than meeting an awful end in a kill pen or on a meat truck where she would have been trampled to death. Sometimes the best kindness we can give to animals that are suffering is peace.
