[ID Photos of a small painted clay sculpture of a horse with simplified features with short pointed legs, small rounded tail, and in a standing pose with an arched neck. It is painted to look like prehistoric cave art. Each photo shows a different angle. End ID]
This gelding is one of the Sand Wash Basin horses that was well documented on the range - he was called Rendezvous.
8 YEAR OLD ROANRED GELDING HORSE (8485)
2013 gelding - Sire Tashunka - Dam Kangee - BLM aged him 1 year younger than he is
Said about him in 2020: "Rendezvous pushes his large band away from the road, they were very spread out and he got nervous and went out to collect them and bring them together. Rendezvous attached himself to the Willie Nelson band a couple of years ago and over the winter successfully took a large portion of them. Willie is left very thin and rather a ghost of his prior self, but he does have some band members left. I had the occasion to watch Rendezvous several times while darting mares the last few weeks. He is a very good band stallion, runs a pretty tight ship."
He is also my absolute fav of the auction. Someone want to scoop him up for me???
I always thought it was like an exaggeration when horse people would talk about how silly it was for anyone to think that riding a horse does not require any particular level of skill or balance or anything, or even that they "drive themselves" (???) but just the tags on the reblogs of that "can you ride a bike and/or horse" post from me alone are demonstrating how overconfident some people are in their (often entirely theoretical!) ability to stay on an alive and moving animal with a will of its own.
horse. just horse. i'm checking out colored pencil brushes
also some things in the process? i guess? idk it's just me looking at different layers and thinking "that does look like someone missing a part of themselves" and then spiraling into my thoughts
Winston the guinea pig has had now 3 vet visits for his respiratory infection. We have tried and failed two different medications and unfortunately he has gotten worse. Today, we had x-rays done to evaluate the progression. He has pneumonia and we are treating with doxy, baytril, and nebulizing treatments. He will need a recheck in a week that will involve another x-ray to see if we have made any progress.
The total cost for today鈥檚 visit was $417.08, and we expect to pay at least $335 for his next visit (based on the exam fee and x-ray cost from today). This brings us to a total of just over $750, so we are hoping to raise $800 to cover today鈥檚 bill, the next bill, and a little extra in case he is prescribed something new at the next visit.
We are SO LOW ON FUNDS as we have spent a lot of money recently: Paprika鈥檚 vet fees, Morningstar鈥檚 vet fees (she is doing AMAZING now in her adoptive home by the way!), Winston鈥檚 past visits, Vixen鈥檚 emergency vet bill, and multiple necropsies. We WILL get Winston the care he needs no matter what. But our bank account is nearly empty. We need your help!
Because of how low on money we are, and the fact that all of our fosters are bursting at the seams, we are making the unfortunate decision to CLOSE INTAKES for the next few weeks. All new intake requests will be waitlisted and we will reach out when we are able to intake again. We have to prioritize animals already in our care. We hope to re open again sometime in April or May after we鈥檝e had a chance to rebuild our bank account & clear out space in foster homes for more animals.
