The day we got Sly

We are thrilled to share some heartwarming updates about Sly, our gentle senior Paint horse who recently joined Ricky’s Ranch Senior Horse Sanctuary. Sly has been adjusting beautifully to his new home, and we couldn’t be prouder of his progress.

Since his arrival, Sly has shown remarkable resilience and a heart full of gratitude. His days are now filled with leisurely strolls around the pasture, where he enjoys the warmth of the sun and the company of his fellow sanctuary residents. Sly’s gentle nature has made him a favorite among both the horses and our volunteers, who love spending time with him and showering him with affection.

We owe this incredible transformation to the generous donations and heartfelt well-wishes from our wonderful community. Your support has made it possible for Sly to receive the care and attention he deserves. The specialized diet, medical care, and comfortable shelter provided for Sly are all thanks to your contributions. We see the joy in his eyes every day, and it’s a direct reflection of the love and care he receives from all of you.

Sly’s progress has been nothing short of inspiring. He has gained weight, his coat is now shiny and healthy, and he moves with a newfound energy that warms our hearts. It’s clear that Sly is thriving in his new environment, and we are overjoyed to witness his transformation.

To everyone who donated, sent well-wishes, and shared Sly’s story, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your kindness has not only changed Sly’s life but has also touched the lives of everyone here at Ricky’s Ranch. Every donation, no matter the size, has played a crucial role in ensuring that Sly’s golden years are filled with comfort, happiness, and love.

We will continue to keep you updated on Sly’s journey, and we invite you to visit Ricky’s Ranch to see firsthand the incredible impact of your generosity. Thank you for being a part of Sly’s story and for helping us provide a sanctuary where senior horses like Sly can live out their lives in peace and happiness.

With heartfelt thanks,

Callie, Scott, Stephanie.

We just picked up Sly and he is such a sweet big guy. Sly loaded up into trailer like a perfect gentleman. We will get more pictures of him once we get him home and cleaned up.
If you would like to make a donation to help with the care of Sly we would be grateful for it. Sly is going to take an army of caretakers to get him back to good health.

Only 5 days later, and look at the improvement!

Pictures allow you to see progress that one cannot see from day to day. So when I see progress through pictures I know that we have Sly on the right track back to being a healthy senior.
Thank you to all who have helped us with Sly through your generous donations and Amazon gifts. We here at Ricky’s Ranch couldn’t have done this with you.
