Rescue Story: Each week Rin sat at her computer, filing images of horses in auctions and kill pens across the United States. It terrified her and made her sick each night worrying over every soul, but she was only one person and the amount of horses in her care would suffer if she took on more. At Maple Ridge she had borders and workers, but she had exhausted many of her connections trying her best to find homes for so many unwanted animals. And it never stopped, backyard breeders, people looking for Christmas money or drug money, stolen horses, the list went on and on. But each week she tried her best, and often full loads would be kept from crossing state lines with the help of many others who saw the plight of these animals. She fought at congress trying to get bills passed that would keep U.S. horses out of the slaughter factories. But she had been given the go ahead finally to look for a horse for her husband, who was not the best rider. Pouring through thousands of entries she found pictures of a worn down, but young stallion, she knew he was grey and his legs looked clean and steady but these were just pictures from a Pennsylvania kill pen, no description no handling, a gamble. Would he even survive through the shipping fever, were there other problems that you couldn't see past the muddied exterior? Rin always hated paying the inflated amounts on these horses, the kill buyer would get them at auction for little to nothing maybe $25, and then turn around and tease you with a chance to save them for only $900, all profit on another's misery, but he had slipped through and if someone wanted him this would be the only way. Something about his eyes drew her in, but she would have to purchase him sight unseen except for these dim, terrible angled pictures. Her husband peeked around the corner just as she was about to move on to the next pen of horses singing badly to his favorite song Pompeii, he stole a look at the stallion and his eyes lit up. "Rin, do what you have to do, we are making a trip to Pennsylvania to pick him up." She looked up at him, swearing he had to be joking, but he was dead serious, "He's the one I want, don't tell me it's a bad idea, I won't listen" So she dialed up the information found a shipper that was willing to transport a "dirty load" (The possibility of sick/ contaminated horses from auction) And went outside to set up a quarantine area, he would need alot of work, that is if he even survived his first month. But inside she was truly happy to have gotten him something made her pay attention, something drew her to him, maybe in time she would find out what mysteries he had to share.

Rescue Story:
I looked at Rebel with determination, watching him trot restlessly around the coral. "Easy boy" I said gently over the fence. I remember when I first got him, only a few days ago. I was out on a trail ride with my girl Poppy, and I saw this handsome stallion hiding among the tall pine trees. We approached him, but he spooked, and ran away. I realized that Poppy wasn't fit for the job right then, so we went back to the Ranch and I tacked up Calamity for a chase, I brought my rope, and spare halter. We sent off into the woods, on the hunt for the mysterious stallion.

We found him again in a clearing, drinking from a stream. We failed to be silent, and when the dapple grey stallion heard us, he lifted his head and took two steps back. We didn't want this to end badly, so they stood still, waiting for the stallion to do something. After what seemed like forever, he hesitantly walked toward me and Calamity. The stallion and Calamity exchanged nickers and the stallion seemed to calm. I carefully slid the rope around the dapple grey's neck, and ponied him back to the ranch.

We arrived at the ranch, and there were a mix of welcoming and curious nickers coming from the gypsies in the paddocks. I rode Calamity to the coral, so that the stallion could be tamed, because as far as I knew, he was wild. I inspected him to ensure he was healthy, his overo coat was covered in small scratches, but none were severe, as if he had walked through a thorn bush. All his scratches are completely healed, but since he first got here, he's escaped quite a few times, always getting himself into trouble. Once, he got stuck in a stream, another time he had gotten lost in the forest. Each time, me and Calamity would go out and get him back. He didn't leave because he didn't like Red Robin Ranch, -because he clearly did- but because he had a thirst for adventure, and I guess there wasn't enough adventure for him at red Robin Ranch. He doesn't leave as much as he used to, which to be honest, almost makes me sad, but happy at the same time. Happy because it's less work for me to go and fetch him, but sad because it almost seems as if he is loosing part of who he is.

Calamity and Rebel - what I decided to name him- seemed to becoming good friends, both adventurous spirits having prank wars, and chasing each other. Calamity is the only horse on all of Red Robin Gypsy Ranch who can calm him down, not even I can. So when I bring Rebel into the coral for training, I always make sure to bring Calamity.


It's been a few months now since we first rescued Rebel from the forest, and he seems pretty content, he's gotten his escape-artist-spirit back, -though I still haven't figured out why it seemed to disappear before- and he's getting along pretty well with the other gypsies, Calamity especially.

Rescue Story:
I will start off with this. You may think I have rescued him but really he has rescued me.
When I was a little girl I've always dreamt of owning my own horse. I would go on the computer and search up horses for sale all the time just to browse an think of what it would be like. I did this for years and years until I was a little older: about 17-18. I've just graduated high school, then got a job. Now I was making a little money, so I starting thinking a little smarter. I thought about leasing a horse, taking lessons somewhere, or even volunteering on a farm just to be around horses! So that's just what I did. I starting volunteering on a horse farm called "Heavens Gypsy's" that raised purebred Gypsy's. I worked a few days a week, or whenever I had off from my day job, it wouldn't matter what time day or night. The owners loved me, they would give me riding lessons an teach me so much about horses. I would always help with the foals that were being born and got to play with them. I still wanted a horse to call my own an love on like crazy. One night when I was at the barn real late just looking at the stars and watching the horses no one was there, I heard a loud neigh coming from the mares field. So I went to go check it out. It was a mare giving Birth!! I was so excited to watch, so I did. After the foal was out of the womb the placenta was still wrapped around the foal an it couldn't breathe!! So I hurried an ripped it open, an I called the owners of the barn for them to come out to make sure the foal is okay. Within a few minutes the owners of the barn were here along with a vet to make sure everything was working properly. "ITS A COLT" says the vet. An we all cheered. It was really late so I went home, but was going to come back bright an early in the morning to play with the new Colt. After I got to the farm the owners meet me by the barn with the colt. I kept giving him kisses an then I asked "So what's his name?!". The owners say "You name him" and I said "Really?!?!?!?!" Then they said well "Hes yours?" and I just scream.. His name is "Dapple" !!

Now the once beloved horse has been beaten starved and has been made cruel. when the dad leaves on a trip the neighbors notice Mayhem and try to help but the stallion is too vicious and won't let them near him. Animal control is called and they sedate him before taking him to the rescue center where a vet checks him out. They call the dad and he gives up his rights to him and sends them his papers. Several weeks pass and no one can get near him without sedating him first. That is when is until a young woman with silver blonde hair and blue yes comes in. It seems to be love at first sight.
