Our Family |
|
|
Our Family is pretty large when you think of the amount of animals we care for on a daily basis. We have a huge amount of compassion for all animals. |
Besides our own, and the rescued horses, we have other animals as well. Dakota has a fawn Pug named Noodle. Kaitlyn's dog, named Pistol, is a Dachshund. Natalee's two dogs are: Pugsy, a black pug, and Prissy, a fawn pug. Shawn has Bo, our "pet" bull and Joanie, an australian shepherd. Of Course, we have many other dogs, which we seem to rescue, our newest June Bug rescued from OKC-AWD, as she was scheduled to be euthanized. She is a complete joy and is probably the happiest dog I have ever seen. We also have 2 inside cats. We stay busy, from our full time jobs, to our children to our animals, but it is a family commitment – one that we all enjoy doing daily. |

Pete has been with Shawn since birth 27 years ago. Pete's mother died shortly after birth and Shawn bottle-fed him. Shawn and Pete have been buddies through everything. Shawn trained him and there isn't anything that Pete can't do. I guess you can say we had a knack for rescuing even at an early age. Pete is one of our greatest rewards. |
Bandit was our second rescue. I saw Bandit and fell in love with him, but little did I know the abuse that he was suffering. We went to where Bandit lived and the conditions were horrible. He was on about one acre of nothing but debris to get cut on. We purchased Bandit and took him to the vet to be checked over. We quickly learned that Bandit has a partial paralysis of his tongue. The vet said that he had suffered severe damage from the bit. The previous owner was a teenager who was heavily into roping and apparently was extremely rough. Bandit is now 24 years old. He is such a wonderful boy and has really taught me a lot. He is MY first horse and continues to take care of me. Bandit continues to live here with Blaze and our long timer Pete. |

Now it would be impossible to highlight the wonderful new horses that have entered into our family since we started our rescue 10 years ago. Of course, the original horses were Pete, Bandit and Blaze. We now have our daughters horses and a few others that are part of the Cross Family. Some of them are pictured to the left. Whether they belong to the Cross Family or come to us through Blaze's, every horse is unique and different. All of them are loved equally while they are here. We strive to find the rescue horses the forever, loving homes that they deserve. Our horses will be here until they should pass, as they are a part of our family. |
