Dear NorCal Equine Rescue Friends,
Our rescue is now overflowing with wonderful, sweet, loving equines that are
needing their forever homes. On Sunday the 9th we rescued 7 equines from an auction,
this was the largest auction rescue we have ever done so far. |

 Hart is a 4 year old,
Quarter Horse, mare, NER # 208. She was one of the horses from the feedlot in Nevada.
She was adopted in May with Hay
Babe, but sadly the adoption didn't work out and she were given back to
our rescue along with Hay Babe. Hart has lost weight since she was adopted, but she is a lot
friendlier then when she was adopted, she now leads, is easy to catch,
saddles, bridles, and is a very sweet and mellow mare. We believe she
lost weight due to nursing Hay Babe. She is now green
broke and has been ridden by adults and children. Hart seem to be a very
lazy horse that doesn't like to go faster then a walk. Our vet checked
her out and doesn't know why she does not enjoy trotting, it seem to be just the
way she is. Hart is a available for adoption
with Hay Babe. |
 Hay Babe "Babe" is a 2 1/2 month old,
tall, buckskin,
Quarter Horse, filly, NER # 213.
She is a very cute and feisty little girl. She was born at our rescue instead
of being a slaughterhouse byproduct. Babe's mommy Hart was going to be
sent to a slaughterhouse while she was still pregnant, but thankfully we
were able to save her. Hart is very protective
of her and would not allow anyone to get near her until about a month ago, so Hay Baby
was
a wild girl. Hart is more relaxed about people now, so Babe is becoming a
friendly gal too. She loves to run, jump, rear, spin and goof off. She
will make a wonderful Gymkhana, reining or cutting horse when she grows
up.
Adoption Fee: $600

 Blue
Thunder Cody's Inky N.T.A. "Inkey"
is a 13 year old, 11.2 hand,
registered Shetland Pony, NER # 225. She is
very cute and sweet little girl that loves to be groomed and loved on. Her
hooves were very long the vet and farrier thinks they were about 6 inches long!
Who ever took the sweet little girl to the auction gave her a very
short drastic trim for her to look more presentable for the sale.
Our farrier has done some corrective trimming on her to make her more
comfortable and she is getting used to walking normally again.
She has also been seen by our vet and he does not believe that she
has any founder.

Cowboy is a 9 year old, 15 hand, Kiger Mule, gelding, NER # 226. Cowboy is a sweet
guy that loves to be messed with. He is trained for riding, carting and
packing.
Cowboy has some lameness issues that we are checking out. He has been seen
by our vet and farrier. Our vet has taken x-rays and did not see anything wrong
at this time, we will take more x-rays later. We believe we have limited the lameness
issues down to two things. Either recent foundering or Cowboy was trimmed too short. Cowboy is in rehabilitation status until his lameness issues are under control.

Blueberry "Bluey" is a 6 year old, 14 hand, Percheron/Quarter Horse, mare,
NER # 227. Bluey is a very sweet horse that is trained to ride and we were told
that she was used for logging. She would make a wonderful beginner's horse, she
is very easy to ride. She's an easy keeper, saddles, bridles, leads, ties,
grooms, and is a very good girl. She was raised and worked in the mountains and
is mountain savvy.
Bluey is a playful and energetic horse when she's not being
ridden, but as soon as she is tacked up, she gets down to business and is very
obedient and well-trained. Our vet gave her a good bill of health. She is
a dominate mare to other equine.

228. Toledo is a very sweet, calm and gentle boy that just loves
attention. Toledo loves children, he loves to watch them play and loves to be
played with by them. He is always standing by the gate waiting for
somebody to walk by and talk to him. He is trained to ride and is a good beginners horse. He is
very easy to catch, saddle, bridle, leads, tie, stands for the farrier and was
wonderful for the vet.
He is underweight and is recovering from a cough and a runny nose. Our vet

Remington "Remmy" is a 12 year old, 14.1 hand, Quarter Horse / Tennessee Walker,
gelding, NER # 229. Remmy is a sweet guy that really has a lot of energy and
loves barrel racing. Remmy needs a very experienced rider that can handle an
energetic horse. He is will trained and obedient, just he's a lot of horse to
handle. His biggest problem is he spins when you are trying to mount him. He is
easy to catch, saddle, bridle, leads, tie, stands for the farrier and was good
for the vet. Remmy
has a little navicular in his front hooves that our vet recommended that we have
him shoed with pads and he thinks that it will clear up. Remmy is in
rehabilitation status until his navicular issue is under control.

 Chief
is a 9 year old, 14.1 hand, Paint, gelding, NER # 230. Chief is a very loving
guy that is very well trained. He can be rode with only a rope around his neck,
he'll stop, back up, and turn both ways easily. He is always ready to come out
of his pen to be messed with. He is trained to ride and is a very good
beginner horse. He is all around an easy boy to work with and has a great
personality. He is very easy to catch, saddle, bridle, leads, tie,
stands for the farrier and was great for the vet.
Chief may possibly have some lameness issue with his front right shoulder/leg/hoof. Our vet was
unable to find any problems. When we got him, he seemed to have some soreness,
but we have not seen it since then. We will continue to monitor his
condition and update the website accordingly.

 Apache
is a 8 year old, 15.1 hand, Paint, Gelding, NER # 231. Apache is a sweet guy
that is very beautiful as well. He has 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye, his
coloration is very striking. Apache is a friendly horse that loves to be talked
to. He is well trained to ride and would be good for an intermediate rider. When
you first get on him he's a little prancey, but after a little bit he calms down
and relaxes again. He is really a jewel of a horse and will make some lucky
person a beautiful ride. He is very easy to catch, saddle, bridle, leads, tie,
stands for the farrier and was good boy for the vet. Apache was given a
good bill of health from our vet, but he needs some weight. He is ready to
adopted into a loving home.

 Pistol is a 7 year old, 14.3 hand,
beautiful
Quarter Horse, mare NER # 232. Pistol is a very pretty and sweet horse. She does
have behavioral issues that need to be worked on. She is really pushy and needs
to be ground started again, to learn proper manners. She does ride but really
just needs time and love put into her. She will make a wonderful trail horse
some day, but for right now she needs someone that has times for her
schooling. She is very easy to catch, saddle, bridle, leads, is
ok for the farrier but she has to be sedated to have her back hooves shoed, she is
fine for trimming and is fine without back shoes.

News |
Have you picked up a Ride! or Western Times magazine this month? If you have
not, you better go get one before it's too late! In both magazines you will find
different articles about our rescue and about the founders of our rescue. Both
Ride! and Western Times editors did interviews with Jason and Tawnee Preisner
the founders for NorCal Equine Rescue. You will find these articles fascinating.
Read the Ride! magazine to learn more about our young founders and find out how
our rescue came to be NorCal Equine Rescue, saving and finding homes for over
130 equines in the last 4 years. This year we have already saved over 40
equines. Go get your magazine today and learn more about us. |
We want to thank everyone who helped us raise the funds to ordered the
microchips and scanner, they will be here any day now. So now each equine that
comes into our rescue will be microchipped and will be traceable throughout it's
life. We will also be scanning equines at auctions in search of missing or
stolen equines. We hope that we may be able to help unite missing or stolen
equines back to their rightful families and watch the tears of happiness as they
are united once again. We want to encourage you to get your pets microchipped, it
could be a life or death matter. It doesn't cost that much and your pets are
worth it. For more information on microchipping your equine go to
www.AvidEquineid.com and learn more now or contact your veterinarian.
We are still discussing freeze branding our rescued equines as well, but
it looks like it may be next year before this ID program is put into place. |
Thank you
for supporting our rescue efforts and please consider opening your home
to one of our equines!
