An exciting new partnership to benefit our horses...
|
We are excited to announce a new partnership with James and Kate Cooler of Cooler Horsemanship. James and Kate have recently established a training program in Summerfield, NC based on natural horsemanship principles and have been nice enough to volunteer their time and knowledge to help some of our foster horses. We are looking forward to working with James and Kate and feel confident that their knowledge will benefit the horses in our foster program. "Marley" will be our first training candidate, so stay tuned and keep an eye on Marley's bio for updates as this new partnership develops.

| Update! Marley's training officially began on Saturday, February 27th and he is quite a star student! James and Marley spent about two hours together and James was able to gain Marley's attention and then his trust. They worked on basic trust issues such as petting Marley's face, neck, shoulders and lifting his feet. James then worked up to teaching Marley to accept a halter very willingly. During this round pen session we were thrilled to see Marley's natural balance and coordination - he is a very nice mover and a natural athlete. There will soon be video footage of this session on the Cooler Horsemanship website, so keep an eye out for that! As you can see from these photos, James wore a wireless microphone for the session so that we can all watch and listen to the session on their website soon. |

About Red Dog Farm |
Red Dog Farm is the private residence of Garland and Gary Graham, who founded Red Dog Farm Animal Rescue Network. Garland and Gary began fostering golden retrievers through Triad Golden Retriever Rescue (www.tgrr.org) in 2000 due to their love of their golden retriever named Rodney (a/k/a “the Red Dog”), who lived to be fifteen years old and is dearly missed. Soon enough other dogs and cats began to find their way to Red Dog Farm, and they were fostered and adopted out as well. Once the barn was finished, farm animals in need began to move in. Some came for short periods of time until they were rehabilitated and adopted and others have become permanent residents.
The Nonprofit Organization:
In 2006, after privately fostering over 50 animals, Garland and Gary decided to start a nonprofit rescue network to allow others to foster and donate. Red Dog Farm Animal Rescue Network is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to the rehabilitation, fostering and adoption of animals of all sizes. The homeless animals in our rescue network are now spread out all over Guilford County in the care of wonderful volunteer foster families. Garland and Gary now have the assistance of an amazing group of volunteers and directors of the various branches of the rescue. Lauren Riehle now serves as Executive Director and handles the day-to-day operations of the rescue network. Now that the rescue effort is headquartered out of our office at Bur-Mil Park, we have a public location and welcome visitors to the office. The office address is 5803 Bur Mil Club Road, Greensboro NC 27410. |
