Blackbird Ranch

Fundraising Donation | Article by: Cindy Cherry

The inspiration behind this facility, Red Kelly. Perhaps a hockey reference here?

This Equine Rescue & Rehab Facility in Manitoba started in 2011, with a memorable horse now named “Red Kelly”. In so many of these rescues, they are started up by one person who comes across a special animal that inspires them to do more. In the case of DCPRF, it was a dog name Lucy.

This Facility believes in using a natural approach and working within the horse’s comfort zone, and at their pace. They use a lot of desensitizing methods and believes that desensitization is an essential part of training your horse. They also base their methods around the horse’s needs, abilities, and temperament.

Daisy’s 1^st day @ the Ranch in 2015, then adopted out January of 2016, what a difference a year makes, & some TLC

This ranch saves all equines including what is termed “the lost equines” which means mules, donkeys, & everything in-between.

The never-ending quest for money and support. Ava raised $100 selling her handmade bracelets, juice, & cookies.

Gotta love it!.
