| Welcome to Golden Hills Ranch Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation, Inc. Since June 2008 A 501(c)(3) nonprofit We here at the ranch would like to thank you for taking a look at us and hopefully for your consideration to donating money, time or your prays in our mission. Its hard work to be honest with you, i wake up every morning wondering how I'm going to make it through the day, then i walk down to the corrals to be greeted by whinnies and big brown eyes, makes everything worth it. Thank you again and remember your donation is tax deductible. C.C. Hotchkiss Founder/President Mission Statement Our mission at Golden Hills Ranch Equine Rescue and Rehabilitation, Inc. is to improve the quality of life for all horses. We are a non profit 501(c)(3) publicly funded horse rescue and our mission is to save as many horses as we can. We are committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of horse and equine suffering from abuse or neglect and to find homes for those best suited to be with someone else. We also aim to improve the public awareness and knowledge of the standards of care necessary to take care of the horse both financially and physically through educating the public on the proper care, responsible horse ownership and all related issues involving equines. Each year countless numbers of equines are euthanized or sold at auction, there are those who for unforeseen circumstances as owners they can no longer take care of their hoofed friends, or prior to buying a horse did not think of the expense, time and energy it took to care for these animals, and there are also those who buy more horse than they can handle at their level of riding ability. We would love for the chance to give these horses a second chance at life and to find them homes where they will be taken care of properly. We take every step humanly possible to insure the new homes our horses go to have the proper facilities, proper care, the understanding and knowledge it takes to care for a horse for the remainder of their life . |

Everyone here at the ranch is into
rescues...My MALE dog Henry and his
kittens.
These orphan kittens were raises by him
from the time they were two days old and
no way was he going to let his sister
have one, well he finally gave in when
they were about 4 weeks old and let her
have one, SHE didn't know what to do
with it.
Who said guys don't make good moms!!!

was in a dirt bike accident and
everyday faithful he works with all the
horses to get them use to those

tractors and make sure all is running
smoothly and all the horses are
tended to. He can out work most of us
here and get it done faster in that chair.

girl, a tree has been planted in her
honor...I miss you baby girl, you will
aways have a place in my heart.

| New News This year has started out bad with the hay situation, but the only way to go now is up. We received a generous donation, our first grant from The Komarek-Hyde-McQueen Foundation. We are so grateful to them, we couldn't thank them enough. Cherrio our Thoroughbred is due this month, should be any day now...I will have a heart attack before this is over, I am the nervous mother at this moment. New arrival this month, March 2010...Cricket a blind POA pony. She is lovely and so good with the kids, we started her off meeting a few of the kids in our program and she was not afraid. I will post her story later, I have been sick and my brain doesn't seem to want to work right now...Pictures coming soon...Also three Kinder goats were donated to the rescue, their pictures coming soon also...They came from an awesome home so there is no bad story on these three, they were very pampered. I'm really excited about a new program we have going on here...The kids from the UHS school workability program have been coming here 2 days a week to work. We are so proud of the job they are doing, they work hard, they complete their task, and the area they are doing right now is looking great. We gave them a section of the property we were not using to plant and do with as they think needs to be done there, they are a part of the plan, its their garden. They will be working all over the ranch, but i thought maybe a little corner to call their own, where they would be proud to look at and say "we did that." Monday and Tuesdays 10am they are here, weather permitting or the days can vary due to rain. Honestly i was a little hesitant at first taking this on, I am so thankful we are doing this. I believe people are only limited to road blocks they place in front of them, these kids may have mental and physical challenges but the heart they put into this would make anyone proud...They are willing to learn, they are bright, big heart kid...i wish they were here everyday. I will be creating a section here in the days to come, i will use the title "Workability Program" and i will be posting pictures of their progress. If you have plants or trees you would like to donate, these kids would appreciate them. You may also come by Mondays or Tuesdays and bring the plants right to the kids. Please call ahead so i know your coming (951)767-9331 ask for C.C. |
