Support for Big Red (Ralph)
Big Red spent his younger years running barrels and racing quarter miles, earning more than $60,000 for his owners. As he grew older and injuries set in, he was retired from competition and donated to TRAK (Therapeutic Ranch for Animals and Kids).At TRAK, Wendy Greene began building a gentle friendship with him, helping him regain a sense of peace and safety. After a year of this dedicated care, TRAK gifted Big Red to Wendy in November 2021. Wanting to help him heal more fully from both physical and emotional trauma, Wendy partnered with Jeanie Shepherd at Equinimity. Together, they nurtured his recovery and supported his growth.In the spring of 2022, Big Red moved full time to Equinimity. Soon after, he began working with clients. His journey of overcoming trauma has given him a unique gift—he often steps forward first, offering his calm and steady presence to people who need a gentle partner to walk alongside them in their own healing.We are deeply grateful to everyone who has pledged their support for Big Red’s care. Your generosity goes directly toward his dietary needs, hoof care, and other essential daily expenses that keep him healthy and thriving. Thanks to you, Big Red can continue his remarkable work as a healing partner at Equinimity.
