Lucky and his best friend, Eddie!

In the last year, two great boys joined us at Rikki’s.  Lucky, a one-year old Black Angus steer and Eddie, an almost 23-year old mini horse, came in and almost instantly have become the best of friends.  You will never see one without the other.  Eddie came from a very loving family but all of his pasture mates had passed away and he was a lonely guy.  He was a bit shy when he first arrived at Rikki’s, but with time and patience, he has blossomed and loves tour groups and treats!!  Lucky was also loved by two young girls, but he was raised to be shown for 4-H when he turned one and you may be able to guess what often happens to the cattle after they are shown.  It’s usually not a good outcome. The girls and their mom and grandmother wanted a different outcome for Lucky, so the grandmother purchased Lucky and he was able to come to live out his life peacefully at Rikki’s Refuge. Lucky is like a big dog and wags his tail happily when greeting visitors!  Next time you are at Rikki’s, please be sure to stop by and visit this awesome duo!
