Hank the 'steady eddy'

​📣📣Horse Spotlight! 📣📣

Meet Hank 

Hank was donated to our lesson program by a wonderful family who didn't want to see potential go to waste sitting in the pasture.
Hank was an unconfident mount, seldom was present, shut down, and spooky making him challenging to handle. Hank had some other quirks as he was started young, 'rode hard and put up wet'. Trail of Faith Farms took the necessary time for a 90 day tune up just in time to be tested in our youth horse summer camp. This was the first time Hank's eyes lit up to perform, have fun, and take care of each of his riders. Hank has been such a blessing throughout the years in our lesson programs; whether it's a therapeutic session, working cattle, or taking care of his rider at a show. 
While Hank is loved by so many children and adults at TOFF, age is inevitable. Hank requires much maintenance for his arthritis. He receives medication daily and soon he will be needing X-rays to see what's going on inside his right knee and front legs. Hank has so much life to give. TOFF strives to give top notch care to our program horses, but we can't do it without your support. Please consider sponsoring Hank. 
Some of the best horses require maintenance and Hank sure is one of them 💕

We are seeking SPONSORS for each of our program equines. 
Why Sponsor?
By sponsoring a horse, pony or donkey you’re helping us continue to provide the love and care to all 20 of our remarkable residents. 
Trail of Faith Farms relies on the selfless giving of our donors to provide for horses in our care.

Your generosity allows TOFF to continue successful rescue, rehabilitation, and quality care for our permanent residents. On top of the high recurring costs of hay, feed, hoof & dental care, vaccines, and deworming, rescued horses often need expensive diagnostics, treatments, surgeries, and emergency care. TOFF's need for your support is as great as ever. The cost of care for each horse varies widely, depending on hay costs, fuel costs, diet, special needs and similar considerations.  On average, it costs anywhere from approximately $300 to $650 or more each month to provide basic care for each horse.

We rely on donors to help cover these costs for our horses. When you sponsor a horse, you can committ to a monthly, quarterly, or annual donation you make in honor of a specific horse (“your” horse).

You may sponsor any horse at any level or any amount you choose. If the actual costs of care for your horse are less than sponsor amounts, any excess will fund costs of care for other horses not sponsored. No donation is too small; every dollar counts!

Glory of Jehovah Jireh

​'Glory' ❤️❤️❤️
 
Rest in peace, my beautiful red dragon
November 2003- May 2025

Freeze brand: #****2573
Born in holding: Teterville West, Granola Prep Facility, Kansas, HMA unknown

Glory was a rescue, taken in by Pasture Pals ER in 2012. She was roughly 750 pounds when Alex and her team seized her. She was extremely beaten up and had many battle scars to date. She was burnt with cigarettes and beaten with a chain, and tied to a tree like a dog. A halter had grown into her face. She had overgrown hooves, lacked all basic care, food, water, and was so emaciated the mare's pregnancy was a surprise the following spring. Fast forward several years, an opportunity to adopt this mare was presented to Trail of Faith Farms. We of course jumped all in to see if she was a good fit for our program.  
 Glory was perfect! So we signed the papers bringing her to here new home at TOFF.
Glory was then retrained and integrated into our veteran program, 'Operation No Longer a Number.' Glory was a vital asset in healing many veterans and their family members. Her testimony spoke volumes as many could relate to her past. She broke down walls in therapeutic sessions with just a flick of an ear and a sash of her tail.
Glory was once disregarded, thrown away like trash, and left tethered to a tree in the wilderness. But God! He provided the right people to rehab her and give her purpose. She beat all odds and I'm blessed to have been a part of her journey. Glory taught many people, to include my husband and myself, to love big, be soft in correction, be assertive with kindness, let HIS light shine before men, and stay humble while maintaining a student frame of mind. I will be forever grateful for the privilege and honor to have steward this fiery, sassy mare until her final breath. 
 ---Jessica Shively ❤️👑🐴

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

We also hope to raise funding for her cremation.

Sugarfoot, the 'no eyed' pony

📣📣Horse Spotlight! 📣📣
Meet Sugarfoot, the 'no eyed' pony
Sugarfoot beat all odds of a deathly diagnosis of EPM. After birth he got an infection in both eyes leading to total blindness. TOFF diligently worked with the vet to get Sugarfoot healthy and ready for a double enucleation, that finally happened fall 2024. Now he is healthy, happy, and thriving! Oftentimes 'Shugy' is referred to as the TOFF boss and Manager. He may not have eyes, but he can see beyond the unseen and is definitely a top favorite here on the farm. 💕
