Now not only do our dreams come true but we get to make so many others smile and laugh! Please note that all proceeds to this event all goes right back into the animals as it gets into the hard winter months! We make sure all our animals are provided with top notch care but it isn't cheap to feed 40 mouths! So we appreciate everyone as a small business for helping us out! 🧡

THIS TRANSFORMATION TOOK ONLY SIXTY DAYS…

Sterling was deemed the most emaciated horse every single veterinarian who examined her had ever seen. We were told point blank that she only had a 10% chance of surviving a refeeding program.

The only thing really in her favor was that she was young. Only three years old and she already had suffered so much abuse…

Now, today, she looks like an expensively bred warmblood.

In. Just. Sixty. Days.

Refeeding a horse whose a legitimate 1 out of 9 on the equine body scale can take a lot of time. Especially when she’s battling severe autoimmune issues, organ failure, neuro deficits from her body not developing properly without proper nutrition and being virtually unhandled in an incredibly stressful situation.

Making the decision to feed her exclusively products while following the UC Davis Refeeding protocol was a no brainer. We’ve used this method countless times with verified results.

The Buckeye products are the best on the market and if you aren’t feeding them, you should switch. Sterlings body is still fighting something and despite that she continues to gain weight, gloss and shine.

I have harder news to share later today. I listened to my wife cry herself to sleep last night on the eve of uncertainty for Sterling but that’s another video to share…

I just want to remind us - all of us - of where we started with Sterling. I still remember back in July taking this photo and thinking this horse will never survive… it was the most egregious crime of animal suffering I personally had ever seen.

But she did.

And like I told Ally, she’ll beat the odds again.

She will.

More to come. A video will be out today explaining the what’s next for Sterling. Make sure you’re following Colby’s Crew Rescue so you don’t miss it.

Keep praying for our girl. She needs them.
