    Inserting a blurb from Bee Tree Farm in Texas where she offers the opportunity people mingle with her dairy goad herd. PRIVATE GOAT WALKS THROUGH HONEYSUCKLE RANCH - YEAR ROUND $75/hour This experience begins at the Honeysuckle event barn in the center of the ranch property. Guests are invited to meet at the barn at the agreed upon time where they will meet with Jenna and the entire herd of dairy goats along with their livestock guardian dog (LGDs) companions who live with the goats and protect them from predators. The dogs are extremely large and extremely friendly! Our goats have all been handled since birth and raised by humans, so they absolutely love visitors. They also love walking through the ranch and will follow humans anywhere. The walk is a loop into the center of the property and is on uneven ground. Guests will encounter lots of brush, mesquite trees, cactus and plenty of rocks. Please wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and bring along something to drink.@@peacefulpasturesdonkeyrescue

    I don't think you get compassion fatigue from doing what you love, but from the stressful experience regarding economics, and seeing the same problem over and over, which makes you feel like it's never getting better. When you can't save everyone, and if you aren't able to let that go. Like they mentioned in the video, that you don't feel like anyone can do what you do, so you either don't trust them, or don't trust adopters. Which in many cases start to resemble hoarding. I volunteer as a foster home for cats, and I'm aware that death is part of life. Which means that sometimes I get difficult cases, as they know that I accept that we might not be able to help that animal, and by ending its suffering, we also make room to help another. ❤

    I couldn't help but notice that Peaceful Pastures' location is fairly close to the lakes areas in Missouri. The places where a lot of wealthy people go to play. I think it should be possible to bring in more events if they tap into the summer vacation/lake goers populations, that could help bring in more donations. Maybe having a campground on the farm as another source of income. With some donkey-centric educational camp activities? Just a thought.

Peaceful Pastures presently offer Air BnB experiences to tour the rescue for those interested in visiting and learning more about what is being done to save these precious animals. They have also considered establishing a camp area like you suggested and exploring all the aspects like feasibility, need, liability, time, and additional required resources before moving forward. Thanks again!!

    One thing I really liked about this organization was the openness to new ideas. She is like a sponge absorbing the mentoring & implementing it. She knows she is over capacity & is seeking to address it. This place does lots of rehab cases so it does take longer for them to be ready for adoption. It has the acreage to grow & is already seeing an increase in donations. There is potential here for a winner. It is going to be hard to choose.

    Realizing your limits is absolutely the most difficult task in any rescue. Drawing the line and letting go is heartbreaking. I've been involved in horse rescue, domestic animal rescue and wildlife rescue and they absolutely all have the same issues. It is heartbreaking to have to leave any behind and they can haunt your dreams forever, but you have to focus on the ones that you can save and try to stay as positive as you can. Burnout happens when you try to do everything and the financial struggles can shorten your life. I think it's vitally important especially right now that rescues prepare themselves for some serious economic times and try to insulate themselves as much as possible. As more people are having to make tough decisions within their households more animals are facing eviction and fewer donations are likely. This rescue is doing amazing things for these wonderful animals, but I feel they're walking a tightrope that is leaving them very vulnerable to an economic downturn. One thing I would suggest would be better land management which unfortunately likely means fewer animals. In a drought the land can get beat down to nothing if over grazed and it can take years to recover. If deteriorated enough only the weeds will come back rather than your grass. If they don't have their own hay it might also be worth converting or investing in some acres for hay production. I wish my land was closer as I have 60 acres of grass and only 1 old horse left who has cushings so can't be on pasture. It's too hilly and rocky to bale, but I used to run 20+ horses on half of it and only needed to hay for 2-3 months in winter back when I was rescuing horses. It really helped keep the cost of their care manageable and allowed for pasture rotation which is even more critical during droughts. There were some great ideas here for tapping into more sources of funding too, but as everyone knows, liability is always a concern.

    There is also Fletcher Farms Amarillo in Texas that's a draft horse rescue, they have also rescued and relocated other equines too. Maybe you can also partner with them, we (I'm helping Julie to hopefully get this set up, she's so busy) are trying to get a direct buy or surrender system set up so the horses won't endure a trip to Texas on a kill or livestock buyers truck, and Fletcher Farms Amarillo can save money for vet care by doing this. They are also working with Vets who have PTSD. They are also a full circle of life because they have had to do the last act of kindness after rescuing a horse.

    Have you ever thought of a day camp or weekend camp for 6-10 people to educate on donkey care or ownership? Also, maybe bring in a few volunteers to just handle the donkeys. Out west, there are donkey races, and many older hikers have donkeys to carry their packs. Also, they pull the manure cart and a small buggy. Donkeys really enjoy "helping" around the home place. All of these organizations are doing fantastic jobs. Good luck choosing a "winner." They are all winners.

    This is for the rescue organizations. Why don't you contact the closest training school for farriers and ask them to bring their classes out to you one day a month. Or maybe twice a month? Your farrier could still do her specialized care. It would help their training and your work load. And you could feed them their lunch and even ask them to advertise for volunteers. I think you have a heavy load and I would love to see you have help. I think you could even ask the training carriers to volunteer and form a committee to come up with options to raise money. Good luck..

    Over 200 acres....really great property.....However, I think to control liability or other contingency, I would consider splitting off the Rescue to a limited number of acres. So just in case sometime in the future if the owner does become ill or cannot work, her homestead will not be part of the rescue, creditors will not be going after ALL her assets. I'm not sure exactly how this is done, but there are folks who understand what I mean and can advise her how to handle preparations for such a contingency. God bless her, she is a strong woman with a great heart. ❤❤❤

    The clinical definition of hoarding requires you to not get rid of whatever. I adopted out 8 between Aug when we started and Dec 2021 when we had about 30 in the rescue, 25 in 2022 when the numbers were growing but less than 200, and nearly 30 so far this year with 4 upcoming appointments this month and roughly 10 applications in review by our Director of Adoptions. When she approves them, they make an appointment and come get donkeys that match what they want. Of these nearly 300 animals on site, less than 20 are my own and a few are residents we keep for tours and events. The rest are adoptable. Some come starved and take a few months to get back in shape, those with awful feet maybe a yr, and there are a lot of jacks we cycle through to get castrated. We based 300 off the amount of property and money available. Do we plan to decrease numbers, yes. Are we hoarding, hardly.

    We do have the Boy Scouts who come periodically. FFA and 4H has been invited, as have the vet schools. We do get some community service help, when they show. We are working to expand our volunteer program and implemented the Presidential Volunteer Service Award program to encourage more. We occasionally get volunteers from a local community college. As far as regular volunteers, we are trying.

    Wow! They are doing great work, but badly need more help. More people, more money more everything - it cant be allowed to Fail because they are so needed - its sad - these are also beautiful animals - they are just not wanted like horses. The BLM was always something terrible. I myself have always hated how they work - they were always there for the ranchers who wanted horse free Land. They used to block off the water for them deliberatly, then hunted them down so brutally - horrible company. Just so many very bad policies, nothing good for the equines! Bad Lobbyists deciding everything, well the money dictated.

    Thanks for your viewpoint however you infer a misguided and misplaced assumption. Our donkeys don't stagnate rather they thrive! We take the most vulnerable and the worst of the worst and provide them with hope for a second chance by addressing their medical, nutritional, and social needs and the opportunity to be adopted by caring, responsible individuals and families that will provide them a loving forever home.

    I'm wondering if there is a way to network with other rescues in the state or neighboring states that primarily work with horses, but could take on a couple donkeys at a time to get adopted out locally to good homes. I have no experience with donkeys but thought I'd heard or read recently that they are good guardians for other livestock. Maybe a good marketing tool?? Idk... just a couple thoughts.

    Not understanding people saying this rescue is hoarding. They deal primarily with donkeys with messed up feet that take a long time to rehab... think about how long it takes to adopt out a horse to just be a pasture pet, then realize that is all they deal with but with donkeys. There just isnt as much demand for them as a rideable horse! Therfore going to take longer to adopt out. Yes, they do need to learn to say no more often, but in no way does this look like hoarding. Overall a very hard rescue to be, but they are new and constantly learning from the sounds of it!

    I'm so glad that Horse Plus visited Peaceful Pastures because they have a problem with hoarding. I've seen hoarding happen so many times with animal rescues where people involved believe that they are the only ones that can give an animal what it needs only to get bogged down, burned out, and broke. Either boundaries are put in place so they can continue their initial mission of actual rescue, or they spend all of their time many and effort on just caring for the ones they can't emotionally let go of. I hope that they can stay focused on their mission of saving lives.

    Maverickspirit: Hoarders do not adopt out animals. We adopted out nearly 60 equines since we started in Aug 2021. We have several appointments this month to adopt more out and several applications in review. I hardly think this defines hoarding. In fact, because we take in those with the worst neglect and abuse, it takes longer to even get them ready to adopt. That requires they stay longer. We aren’t going to adopt out equines who aren’t ready physically or emotionally. The number 300 doesn’t automatically mean hoarding. Perhaps if you learned more about our organization, you would be more qualified to render an opinion.

    It's great, but seriously 300 donkeys? My God. This can easily go terribly wrong. This is borderline animal hoarding. Even when her own team says that she can't seem to let them get adopted. Yes, it's terrible what these animals have to go through, but you can't save them all. You are one person.

    @@flowerchild724I donate money, food. Toys, beds ect. And for 10 years a place for homeless animals. Cats, dogs, rodents. I set out traps and help cat shelters bring in homeless cats. I am very well aware of what it looks like when people standing with water way over their heads, even if they mean well. And we all know that 300 donkeys is too much, If anything, it's startled that people don't react more to the sheer number of donkeys and horses on the ground. It is an impossible task. Again, they have ONE farrier on 300 animals. I have to admit that my comment came out a bit hastily for some. But you guys have to understand the seriousness of this. It is not sustainable. It's at this point even cruel. They don't have a vet on site everyday, they can't possibly know if the animals are suffering or not. *Even then*, 300 animals, how will a handful of people without REAL education know what to look for?

    Hoarders don’t adopt out animals. Since we started in Aug 21, we have adopted out nearly 60 animals with several more pending currently. All you know about this organization is what was chosen for you to see. The animals are happy and healthy, and anyone who comes here will agree. They run free, play, and enjoy life. You know nothing about our vet involvement, how our organization operates or much else. How do you know we have no “real education”? Have you reached out to learn about us before criticizing? NO! All you know is we have 300 donkeys and what was provided in this episode. Perhaps before you criticize, you should learn more about us or come see for yourself.
