Natural To Blanket Our Beloved Domesticated Horse, Donkey Or Mule?

A blanket is like a fire extinguisher we hope we do not need to use it. We have it ready and learn how to use it before the emergency hits. Please be prepared. Please train your donkey to accept the blanket before the emergency hits. I never blanket unless an emergency or the donkey is suffering cant move due to arthritis and age. As soon as the weather gets out of extreme cold the blanket is off. Or the vet says the stall rest is over etc., No blanket is water proof. We must use common sense. Warm water in the winter (clean) helps donkeys drink more and lose free salt.  

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Melody teaching via skype and Dropbox worldwide. Melody teaches the owner how to train virtually worldwide! Why? Donkeys are smart not stubborn. Training the owner to train the donkey saves donkeys lives from auction, sales and slaughter. We purchased our twenty acre farm in Sequim, WA with nothing on the land. Finally after everything is competed for the donkeys and horses we are going to build a home. Living in a 5th for two years now. Our home begins in 2017, thank you Jesus.

DONKEYS IN NEED, PLEASE RE-BLOG

Update all donkeys are safe. Thank you.

It has come to Turning Pointe Donkey Rescue’s attention that there are 18 donkeys in a kill pen in Texas that only have a few hours to be saved, or they will be going to slaughter. I’m not posting pictures as I know it can be disturbing to many. In a group effort, rescues, quarantine operators and transporters are trying to get these donkeys safe and vetted. They will be quarantined and rehomed locally in Texas. Please consider making a tax deductible donation to save their lives.

Please make donations via PayPal on our website Select TURNINGPOINT DONKEY RESCUE Time is of the essence.

The immediate need is $225 each to get them safe. Then less immediate but just as important funds for vetting, farrier, and feeding. Please join the team and donate if you can and/or at least share and ask friends and family to help. Thank you so much.

CHINA Killing Donkeys For Meat and Hide

CHILDREN DO NOT OPEN THE LINKS BELOW

What a horrible world….. I am sick!!!!!!

What can I do?

Check labels do not purchase anything not made in the U.S.A.

Select DONKEY HIDES FOR SALE

Select GRAPHIC DONKEY KILLING IN CHINA

Smashed to death with a sledgehammer: Customers watch as Chinese vendors sell ‘fresh donkey meat’ by the side of the road after killing animals in front of them!

  • Lines of donkeys were seen tethered to the roadside awaiting execution
  • Meat was instantly butchered and sold directly to passing motorists 
  • Vendors ensure they get the best price possible by butchering to order
  • Donkey meat is a delicacy in China and a cut weighing around 1.5kg sells for the equivalent of £10 

RIO&MELODYM

 

What can you do?

Do not support slaughter of horses, donkeys or mules in any way! Check labels and make sure what you are purchasing came from the U.S.A.

I am a small business owner of the U.S.A. recently I started selling my very own hand-made rope halters with matching lead lines in the U.S.A. Biggest complaint I get is I can get one way cheaper! Yes of course you can if it is not made in the U.S.A.

Start checking labels on everything folks! Greed can be stopped, it just takes a few minutes of your time.

Select Fat Man Kills Donkey

Select What Is The Weight Limit To Ride A Donkey

I deeply saddened to share that I can find no vet study that proves the weight limit for a donkey!

Donkeys must be of full age, have a chance to build muscle and should never carry more than 20% including the saddle and pad in my most humble opinion. Additionally donkeys should  carry a rider as a horse not on the rear, neck or shoulders but in the proper position as a horse is ridden.

“It is my dream to help educate and change how people treat these magnificent gifts from GOD the most over worked and under appreciated animal the Donkey.”  Melody Johnson, Donkey Whisperer Farm, LLC.

Water For Wild Horses GOFUNDME

Select Water For Wild Horses

Drought in California has not spared the hundreds of horses at Return to Freedom.

In February 2015 our water table dropped and all wells stopped producing. We began trucking water in daily to fill the tanks – costing $466 a day / $3200 a week!

Return To Freedom provides refuge and care for almost 400 wild horses including 28 burros who have been captured from their ranges.

For 16 years RTF has a proven track record as a voice for change. Pioneering innovative management alternatives which have influenced a new direction for sanctuaries and solutions for keeping wild horses free on the range.

Return To Freedom has educated thousands of people a year through programs, volun-tourism both at the sanctuary , on America’s wilderness areas and through national outreach.

We need your help desperately now.

We have a small team who make sure the horses are fed and cared for each and every day. We want to thank our donors for keeping the troughs full- But we need your help to reach beyond our loyal donors. With many people giving alittle we can achieve alot!

With droughts, fuel cost increases and American hay growers selling to Asia, it is not only a challenge to raise the funds to keep up with the inflated hay costs, but now we need to raise funds to buy water – we just cannot do this without your help.

Please help us Fill the Bucket-

Return to Freedom’s Water for Wild Horses Fundraising Campaign will support our work with California Conservation Corps and Sierra Progressive as we move forward on matching grants to continue our water conservation plan at the sanctuary to:

– Increase water catchment
– Implement grey water systems
– Drill a horizontal well in a new location

We have had large holding tanks donated and have not been idle, but with no rain this winter we have to wait and see what water falls in 2016- and be prepared to catch it. In the meantime- we are hauling in 4300 gallons a day!

Please help the horses at Return To Freedom. They continue to serve to educate so many about the plight of wild horses. Each horse at the sanctuary has a story emblematic of tens of thousands more.

Return to Freedom is a 501C3 organization. All donations are sent weekly from Go Fund Me  directly  to Return to Freedom’s Water Fund.

Thank you and please share!

Happy 10th Birthday Miss Lily

Friends of the Donkey Whisperer Farm,

LILY FOAL

Wow I find it so hard to believe that today my horse Miss Lily a double registered quarter horse and Palomino is ten years old. Here is a look into the life of one amazing horse. I call Miss Lily Mr. Ed’s wife (the talking horse) as she is this smart. 🙂

For those of you who love horses, donkeys and mules to you I write this. “Nothing is better than the love I have for my horses and donkeys. They are angels from GOD sent to me, to make me stronger, a better person, a better wife, mother, and a better teacher.”

This mare, Miss Lily has been living with me since she was twenty months old. She captured my heart the very first time I met her. I love this horse dearly and believe me she is never for sale ever. Along with all of my six donkeys and Miss Trophy my new project horse as they are in their forever homes.

The love of any animal for a human is special. Domesticated animals depend on their owner to provide all of their every day needs, picking up poop, feeding, clean water, shots as needed, dental care, hoof care and most of all love and patience as their way is not always ours but they are truly the window a mirror to our inner self. To get the opportunity to train your own horse, mule or donkey will change you life in every way. Confidence is a big deal in this world, goals are important, working with a 1000 pound equine will forever change your life. Never forget if you get the chance to grab a dream go get it as life is fragile and precious.

GOD bless you and your family two and four-legged!

Melody
