Alice, the beloved horse in the picture above, was tragically taken from us during
the horrible storm that hit March 17, 2008.
She was struck by lightning.
She was due to foal in June, and was the only horse on the ranch that was not a rescue.
She belonged to Vicki Adams, the director of the facility, and was boarded at the ranch so she would
not be lonely.
She will be very missed! Alice was
a wonderful mare that absolutely adored children and babies! God bless Alice and may the angels enjoy the company of
a wonderful companion!
This slide show is dedicated to Alice our "Hero"

Edition 2 Spring 2008
Spring has been extremely rough
at the ranch.We lost Alice in early spring,and last night, we lost Miss Missy due to lightning. You can absolutely help us change this by sending in donations to help us with expenses for
a lightning rod. Your support and
help during these times is so appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Question: Can
you tell us how you first became interested in saving horses?
Vicki: I have been a horse advocate for my entire
life. I had heard bits and pieces about the horse slaughter issues, but being an outdoor person, I did not realize the magnitude of this issue until a friend of mine told me about the cruelty the horses
endure. Bandera County is "Cowboy Capitol of
the World", and what better than to save the cowboy's
most valuable asset, his horse. We are in "horse country", and due to location I believed that we could truly make a difference, and I truly
believe that we HAVE!
