R&R New Options Equine has gained a lot of respect over the years for the work we do giving help to horses in need. I truly believe that these wonderful animals do more for us than we will ever be able to repay. It is with a heavy heart that I share with you a little bit about one of the best, Ghosts Skippen Pizazz.
When Zazz first came into our care he was a timid foal, just a few weeks old (we rescued him along with his mother, a Red Roan Appy and his father a Paint Breeding Stock Stud). I have never seen a horse with so much or so many colors!
Zazzes coat brought to mind the flashy fireworks you see on the Fourth of July, yet He wanted nothing more than to please everyone. Zazz excelled not only as a student but also as a teacher, teaching trust and understanding to the newly rescued horses. He also taught patience and forgiveness to all the people around him.
Three weeks ago Zazz got his left hind leg caught in a nylon cord that was put up. The injury was severe, cutting all of the tendons and exposing a large piece of his bone. Pizazz faced his painful injury with dignity and trust. He stood quietly on his three working legs while the vet worked on him. He allowed us to hold up the bad leg and get him into the barn. Despite all of the antibiotics, and dailly care, his wound became steadily worse.
When it came time to leave his pain and struggle behind, our sweet Zazzer went without fear to join God's Heavenly Herd.
Zazz brought to us so much joy and love in his six short years, he will never be forgotten and he will be forever missed!

Going Ones
We have not had any more wild life insurers since our cougar went to live in the great hunting grounds in the sky. In his place is our new barn cat. Bartholomew he is a 6 month old Tabby.
We are going through 2 tons of hay per week which is good and bad. The good part is that we will be opening our arena soon and will have an indoor area to stay dry. The bad part is well we are going through 2 tons of hay each week and it is only November.
Sara our beloved retired Belgian and her miracle baby Rock has moved to live in Corbett. They are living with Sara's other son James and his partner West. She is going to help teach James and West how to pull the wagon so they will be able to help out with wagon rides.
Our volunteers Terese and Alexa have taken home 3 mares to love and care for and they still find time to come out and help with the other horses. Thank you both so much.
Aunt Rhonda and Cherish did their fist Canter. Cherish's gait was so smooth that Aunt Rhonda did not know what was happening, but she thought it was a lot of fun.
Our 30 year old Arab Chester is feeling up to giving lessons for some of our younger riders. He is very proud of himself and we are very proud as well.
