"Mercy" is a 15-year-old mare that came to us near death from the Harney county/Burns seizure.  This special mare has a heart of gold and a will to live.  In just over 3 months, she has gone from being so weak she could barely stand from starvation and neglect to carrying a rider! According to Mercy's foster mom, she has the kindest, gentlest soul and loves to be loved.  Mercy is broke to ride but has never had any extensive training.  She does not buck, rear or have any bad habits.  Mercy will ONLY go to the very best of homes where she will be pampered like the Queen she is in our hearts.  If you think you can give Mercy the future she deserves, please contact us.  To read the blog written by Mercy's foster mom and follow her recovery, click here. 
   
"Lyric" is a black and white paint mare that came to us from the Harney county/Burns seizure.  Imagine our surprise when this paint mare had an appaloosa colt!  Lyric is currently being worked with to gain her trust and be gentled.  Lyric will need a kind, experienced horseperson to continue her training.  She will be a challenge and will only go to a home  that has experience with trust issues in adult horses.  "Dustin", her beautiful baby boy has a wonderful home waiting for him when he is old enough to be weaned.  If you are interested in adopting, fostering or providing training for Lyric, please contact us. 
 
"Comet" is a long yearling that came to us from the Harney county/Burns seizure.  Comet is halter broke and can be touched everywhere except for his mouth area.  Comet is extremely fearful of his nose/mouth area being touched and we have yet to help him overcome this.  Comet is very small for his age due to the malnutrition he has suffered.  We are hoping that with a good diet and proper care, he will have a growth spurt.  Comet has been gelded and has recovered nicely.  Comet is a beautiful boy that has been waiting far too long for his forever family. If you are interested in adopting or fostering Comet, please contact us.
 

This is April, a 27-year-old Welsh Pony mare.  April came to us the beginning of August after we were alerted by animal control of her condition.  April has no bottom teeth and is not able to eat forage.  This poor girl was not offered any special feed by her previous owner and this is the result.  April is in a great foster home that is giving her everything she needs.  April was starved for so long, she must be fed several small meals throughout the day as her stomach has shrunk and cannot take in the amount of food a healthy pony would take in per feeding.  This is far too common of a situation.  Once this pony needed special care, it was denied.  We are still amazed as to how any human being can see a starving animal and ignore it.  April is spunky and full of life in spite of her condition.  We are hopeful April recovers and look forward to updating her condition for you as she progresses. 

 

"Nickers" is an approximately 21-year-old mare who is recovering from starvation and neglect. We would like to give a special thank you to her foster family that has done a fantastic job with her rehabilitation. She is a very sweet girl and is doing great. Nickers is for light riding only due to her slight sway back. Nickers will also have to be eased into being used as muscles have a tendency to atrophy from starvation and will need time to build up and strengthen again. Nickers is waiting for her forever home.

 

Update!
Trinity was sent to training and the trainer loved her so much he is adopting her.

"Shelby" is a 4-year-old Sheldon mustang mare. She is halter broke and learning to trust. This is a beautiful, solid girl who would do best with a person that has experience with mustangs.  Shelby came from a large rescue/seizure in Nebraska and is assumed to be in foal.  There were over 30 stallions with the mares and most of the mares are in foal.  If you are interested in providing training, fostering or adopting Shelby, please contact us. 

 

"Connie" has been physically recovered in rescue from starvation and neglect.  She is a 4-yr-old, 1/2 TB, 1/2 appaloosa mare standing at approximately 15 hands. Connie has been haltered in the past but needs an experienced, loving, patient, experienced, training home. Connie is becoming increasingly more curious of people but needs to learn to trust and receive consistent handling.  If you are interested in providing training, foster care or adopting, please contact us. 

   

Our newest addition!  This palomino colt was born June 24th to a beautiful, Sheldon mustang (Nevada Fish and Wildlife) mare.  This colt has been named, he is now affectionately known as "Midas" Midas will be available for adoption around Thanksgiving.

   
Uno was born May 1st to a rescued mare from the Harney county/Burns seizure.  He is extremely handsome, has a lot of personality and is very smart. His mother stands a solid 15 hands, sire unknown.  This colt is amazing and is adoptable to the perfect home. 
 
Izzy is a Sheldon mustang (Nevada Fish and Wildlife) mare. She is 4-years-old and came from a large seizure in Nebraska where 200 horses survived and many more perished from starvation. There were over 30 stallions running with the mares. Izzy is halter broke but will need an experienced person to continue with her training. Izzy has been vet checked and is in foal with a winter baby.  If you can give Izzy and her unborn foal an adoptive or foster home, please contact us.

Joey is a 19-year-old big, nice, easygoing gelding.  Joey stands about 15.2 and was once used to move cattle on a ranch.  He will take you down the trail with no spook or problems.  He has fantastic ground manners and is up-to-date on worming, shots and foot care.  If you are interested in adopting Joey, please contact us. 

 

Adoption Fees:
Our adoption fees vary depending on the horse. Many of our horses have and will be placed at no charge to approved homes, others that have incurred veterinary or training fees may have an adoption fee to assist in the reimbursement of these costs. Sound, trained and young horses will also have a reasonable adoption fee.  Adoption fees can range from $100.00 to $500.00  for these horses. Our priority is finding good homes that have the financial ability to provide lifetime care for our horses. Donations are gladly accepted and always appreciated as are fuel cost donations if your horse is being delivered.  If you are interested in adopting, please contact us and we can discuss this personally with you.
