Sterling

We are always happy when a young stallion becomes a gelding. It sets them up for a much better life. They are far less likely to develop undesirable behaviours and they can live freely with other horses with no worry about making more babies.

Sweet Sterling was born at The Barefoot Ranch: Manitoba Horse Rescue & Sanctuary to a mum who arrived neglected, malnourished and, unknown to anyone, also pregnant. Sterling was a beautiful Easter surprise. Everyone was relieved he was healthy.

We know The Barefoot Ranch has had a difficult year. But as long as they have horses in their care, we will support them with our grants, because for us, horses always come first, regardless of where they live or who is looking after them.
