Shawnee, Missy, Cricket,
Teasin and Splash Are Now
Available For
Adoption
More info on these
equines can be found on our website
www.SaveTheHorse.com |
Shawnee is a beautiful underweight bay
Morgan, Mare, 22 years,
14 hands, NER # 214. Shawnee is a very sweet
horse that loves to be played with. She will make a
great beginners horse, she loves to please and is
easy to work with. Right now she is very tender
footed, due to a very bad, short, choppy hoof trim.
Until her hooves grow out, she will be tender. She
is very well trained to ride, but due to her tender
hooves she can't be ridden until they grow back out.
Shawnee's
previous owner died in a motorcycle accident, so the relatives donated her to
us.
Adoption Fee:
$350 |
 Missy is a very quiet 21 yr old,
black, TB mare,15.3
hands NER # 216. Missy has a tattoo but it is
unreadable. She is a level II dressage horse that
has only been ridden english. She free longes by
voice command and is very affectionate with us. We
were told by her former owner that she throws the
occasional buck and has a typical TB attitude at
times, but we have noted no bad behavior or any
signs of problems. She has been very well taken care
of, her hooves are in good condition and her teeth
were floated last year.
Adoption Fee:
$350

 Cricket
is a 16 year old, liver chestnut, Quarter Horse, 14 hand, gelding, NER # 222.
Cricket is a very sweet guy that loves to be groomed and rubbed on and that's
his favorite pastime. He is well trained for ranch work. He was used as a
Jr. rodeo horse, mainly for roping. After that he was used as a ranch horse
for an elderly lady. Shortly after she got him, he became stiff in his back leg.
She had the vet out numerous times, and he was not able to diagnose the problem.
Cricket can only be used as a lightly ridden child's horse or pasture pal. He is
very sweet and is waiting for his new home.
Adoption Fee:
$100 |
Im Not Teasin
"Teasin" is a AQHA # X0509631, 13 years old, 15.1 hand, gelding, NER #
217. Teasin is a very sweet guy, very well trained, very easy going and is a great beginners horse.
Teasin will do whatever you ask of him. He is a
wonderful horse that loves to please and is very
patient with beginners. He saddles,
bridles, ties, halters, easy to catch, loads,
trailers and is very easy to work with.
When Teasin was rescued, he had a skin infection. Teasin has been to the vet for
his skin infection and the vet informed us that we had nothing to worry about.
Teasin is now healing very well and is now ready to be adopted into a home.
Adoption Fee: $1200 |
Splash
is 7 years old, 14.2 hands, gray,
Quarter Pony,
gelding, NER # 193. He has been through so much in his short life, it is just
terrible. No horse should have gone through what he has gone through.
Click Here for Splash's Story.
Splash has been with us since January 2006 in our rehabilitation program and we
have been working with him to help him recover from his
terrible life.
NER's trainer worked with him for about 30 days and then we took him to another
trainer for another 50 days. He did pretty good in training, but he has
flashbacks to his previous terrible treatment, and he bolts with nothing
stopping him. In the 80 days of training Splash has gone through, both expert trainers
didn't feel comfortable riding him. They worked with him on his terror of ropes
and tried to get him up to a point were he could be ridden, but every time he
would freak out. When he has a flashback, he bolts, just freaks out and nothing
will/can stop him. Splash only has flashbacks when he is doing something that he
is uncomfortable with. Splash loves to come up to the gate to see you, loves
being groomed, and hanging out with other equines and people.
We are looking for a very special home that will let Splash just be a
horse, were he can be groomed, loved on, and live a life of happiness without
fear of mistreatment. Someday
Splash may be able to be trained to ride, but at this point he needs lots of
TLC.
We have hundreds of dollars in Splash's training, feed, etc. but he has
no adoption fee, he just needs a loving, kind person to love him for who he is
for life. If the person is ever no longer able to keep him he must be given back
to our rescue. |

We Need
Your Help With Our New
Identification Program! |
As many of you
have read in our last edition of
E-News we have had a situation
where one of our horses ended up back at auction. We were lucky enough to be
there to buy her back;
 unfortunately there is no way we can guarantee that it
will not happen again. We strive to do as much as we can, but with our number
of equines rising, we cannot necessarily remember them all (how many bay mares
between 14.1 and 15.1 have we had???) Tawnee
remembered her from 2 years ago and with over 110 horses since Angel, that is
pretty amazing. This incident has forced us to look into other measures to
help safeguard our equines. We have researched and at our board meeting on
6/16
we voted unanimously to put two identification methods into place as soon as
possible - micro chipping and freeze branding.
Our program will be hopefully in place by early July. We
have researched several companies and
after talking with Avid
Equine, we have decided
to use their services. The link for their website that will show you the
products we will be using and answer any questions or concerns that you might
have is
http://avidequineid.com/index.htm.
It is a tandem company with Horse Trac
USA. They have been in operation for 20 years and we were impressed with their
ideas for us and their products. They recommended that we purchase the cheaper
model of scanner, so that we can in time hopefully purchase a second one for our
other rescue vehicle. The scanner costs $299.00. We have decided to go with
the preloaded sterile syringes and they will cost $9.75 each. We also have to
purchase the lifetime registration to go with the chips and they are willing to
reduce the price of the registration to $7.00 per equine since we are a non profit. We
will be getting 25 preloaded sterile syringes and lifetime registration and the
scanner a total of $699.00 - we need your help!
Our freeze branding program will take a little longer to put into place. We
are researching and deciding on a brand and the placement of the brand area. We are moving a little more slowly
on this option, we want to make sure of all aspects before we put it into
place.
We hope that you, our supporters, will see the need and realize that we cannot do
this without your help. We are asking that you look at our program, look at
the number of equines that are in our program, and realize we cannot be expected
to remember all the equine that are served by NER. We are trying to adapt
to change as
our organization grows, and we will continue to do everything possible to help
raise the money. If you have fundraising ideas please contact
Shari@savethehorse.com |
Thanks
for your support and again please consider opening your home
to one of our equines!
