VOLUNTEER

At The Rescue at Flathat Ranch, we are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming misunderstood horses facing behavioral challenges or a lack of training—horses often overlooked due to fear, frustration, or miscommunication.

Through patient, relationship-based methods rooted in natural horsemanship, we focus on building trust, confidence, and clear communication between horse and human.

Our mission is not only to help horses find a second chance but to ensure they are matched with partners who are committed to continuing the language of connection we’ve established—creating lasting, respectful bonds and brighter futures for both horse and human.

CURRENT HORSES

Smokey

Smokey is a 20-something mini mule that came to us with severe hoof issues and clearly in a lot of discomfort. Over a few months of progressive hoof trims, he is feeling much better and his personality is starting to shine through. This little guy is quite the character, and he puts a smile on our faces every time we look at him.
Adoption Fee: $1500
Lainey

Lainey was recently rescued from a kill pen by another owner. That owner spent some time getting her healthy and starting to gain weight but quickly realized they didn’t have as much time as Lainey was going to need. We are excited to see what she knows and to start teaching her some training, starting with halter breaking and getting to her feet for an overdue trim!
Adoption Fee: $2,000
Ginger

Ginger is approximately 18 years old and has lived her life as a backyard broodmare. She comes to us pregnant with her 3rd foal (that we know of!). She arrived very under weight, but we are packing nutrients into her and are hopeful that both she and the baby will make it through foaling healthy and strong.
*Ginger and her foal will not be available for adoption for quite a while *
Meredith Grey

Meredith Grey came to us along side Ginger and is Ginger’s 4-year old filly. Meredith has little to no handling and is already starting her training program.
Georgie

Georgie came to us along side Ginger and is Ginger’s 3-year-old colt. He arrived as a stud but is quickly being gelded. He has little to no handling and is already starting his training program.
