UPDATE — because of this amazing community, we’ve officially raised enough to save ONE of the horses! ❤️🐴

Now we’re racing to save the second half of this bonded team from the slaughter pipeline before it’s too late. We refuse to separate them.

These two senior horses deserve more than ending up shipped to slaughter. They deserve a soft landing, full bellies, and a safe place to spend the rest of their lives here at BGP Ranch.

Every donation — no matter the amount — helps get us one step closer to bringing them BOTH home safely.

If you’ve donated, shared, prayed, or supported us in any way… thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Please keep sharing this post and help us save the second horse from slaughter before time runs out.

Every year at BGP Ranch and Aviaries and The Patch Family Farm, we try to save a horse or two from the kill pen pipeline and give them the soft landing they deserve. ❤️

This year, we found a bonded pair of senior wagon horses that desperately need help. They are on a very short timeline before they are shipped to Mexico… and we refuse to let them be separated or forgotten.

These two gentle souls have spent their lives working for people. Now they deserve green grass, kindness, and a safe forever home.

🐴 Tag 7743 — Gelding — $1125
🐴 Tag 7744 — Mare — $1125

Our hope is one day you’ll see them safely pulling wagons full of smiling kiddos at The Patch instead of standing in a kill pen waiting on an uncertain fate.

If you’d like to help us get them home:

Welcome to The Patch Family Farm… “The Three Stooges.” 🦆🦆🦆

These three little troublemakers got an unexpected second chance after being dumped at a neighborhood pond before they were even ready to survive outdoors.

Now they’re safe, warm, loud, messy… and already acting like they own the place. 😅

We may rescue animals… but somehow they always end up rescuing a little piece of us too. ❤️

Summer Camp at The Patch Family Farm is officially open for sign-ups!

We’re talking:
🐴 Horseback riding
🎣 Fishing
🎨 Arts & crafts
🐐 Farm animal care
🌱 Planting & farming
🏃‍♂️ Old-school games (the kind that don’t need WiFi… shocking, we know)

Basically… your kids go home tired, dirty, and happy. You go home with a quiet house and a full cup of coffee. Everybody wins. 🙌

📅 Monday–Friday | 9am–3pm
👧 Ages 5+ (younger kiddos can come with a helper!)

⚠️ Warning: Your child may come home asking for a goat, a horse, and “just one more day at the farm.” We are not responsible for new animal negotiations.

Spots fill up quick—don’t be the parent trying to bribe us in July. 😉

👉 Sign up now: www.thepatchfamilyfarm.com

**Each child will need to have a helper (parent, older sibling, etc) to help lead them on the ponies and watch them around the animals**
