Bombers Express
is a 11 year old, 16.2 hand, black, Standardbred, gelding, NER # 233. Bomber is
a very sweet guy that loves to be loved on. In March 2002 he was rescued from the
race track (Cal Expo - harness racing) by a very loving couple.
They
never rode him, but were told that he was ridden occasionally at the track. We
have ridden him on some trail rides and he did very well. He thinks about new
things and reacts calmly. He is VERY friendly, curious, gentle and just
all-round a big love. We want
to keep Bomber and Lassen together their adoption fee is $1000.00 together.
Adoption Fee:
$850 -
Status: Available |
Lassen is a 15 year old, 15 hand,
Quarter Horse, mare, NER # 234.
She is very sweet in spite of what someone has done to her. She has been
abused at some point in her life. Her tongue has a scar going all
the way across and most of the way through. She has what the vets refer to as
"metabolic syndrome" She takes a thyroid supplement on a daily basis. She also
lactates although she hasn't had a foal in at least 5 years. We have ridden her
and she did very well, even though she has not been ridden for several years.
We want to keep Lassen and Bomber together their adoption fee is $1000.00
together.
Adoption Fee:
$550 -
Status: Available For Adoption

Bomber & Lassen's
owners had to move and sadly had to leave their babies with us, so we could find
them a new loving home. It was very hard for their owners to give them up
and they will miss them greatly. Lassen & Bomber have been together for 5 years
and we want to
keep Lassen and Bomber together if possible. Their adoption fee is $1000.00
together. Please open your home to these sweet horses. |
Little Apache is a 2 year old, 12.2 hand, POA, gelding, NER # 235.
Apache is a very cute little guy, but he has been badly abused. He was
rescued about 4 months ago from a life of horror and terror by a wonderful lady
who was hoping to train him to be a pony pal for her 4 year old girl. She had to
give him up because sadly one of Apache's problems is that he charges little
kids! We believe that he has been unmercifully beaten by little kids. He is fine
with adults and older kids, but somehow he feels very threatened by little kids. He is very sweet and wants to be loved. He needs lots of TLC and he will
be as good as new. If you have time for this sweet little guy, please give
him a home.

 Sunny
is a 8 year old, 15.1 hand, Arabian, gelding, 700 lbs. NER # 236.
We have known about Sunny for 5 months now. It all started as we where
driving down a road and couldn't help but notice a beautiful well fed Arabian
in a pen that had always been empty before. We where on that road about once a
month. The next time we drove by his pen, to our horror we saw that he had lost
a
lot of weight. We decided to give it another month to see how he would be doing
then, maybe he had been sick and was recovering. The next time we saw him he had
lost a lot more weight. We contacted Animal Control and they said that they
would take care of it. But nothing happened ... The rest of the story can be found
on Sunny's web page Click Here For The Story

 Mel's
Best is a 12 year old, 16.1 hand,
Standardbred, stallion, NER # 237. He was harness racing and winning only a few weeks ago. But younger
faster horses were coming to his stable and he had already won 66 races and
$500,000 so it was time for him to move on and give his stall to another. We
picked him up at the Cal Expo and had a wonderful time watching him trot around
the track, you could see it in his eyes, he loved it! But those glory days are
now behind him. He is sound and has been ridden, but his love is and always will
be pulling a cart around and remembering his days of glory.
Adoption Fee:
$500 |
 Crisco
is a 15 year old, 14.2 hand, Mustang, gelding, NER # 238.
Crisco is a sweet guy that has just come off of a dude string just a
couple of weeks ago. The reason the dude ranch had to get rid of him is he was
to hard to catch. We have worked with him and he is getting better about it.
He is very easy to ride, a great beginners horse or little kids horse. He likes
to walk along calmly and quietly, but you can encourage him to a trot. He is
very scared of whips and will kick at it out of fear.

 Stitches
is a 10 month old, 13 hand,
Arabian Mule, molly, NER #239.
Stitches is a real sweety, that loves to race around. She knows how to
lead and is learning to tie. She was owned by a young lady who was moving and
could no longer keep her. Stitches will make a great mule for packing,
riding, carting, etc. when she grows up.
She has a beautiful body and a refined head. She's a real beauty, she's
just drop dead gorgeous!
With time Stitches will some day be an awesome mule. She has never been
abused, so she loves people and has been around people since she was born.

 Beth
is a 13 year old, 14.3 hand, Morgan/Quarter Horse,
mare, NER # 240. Beth is a sweet horse but is a little mischievous and a little
testing too. We have ridden her in the round pen and she did ok but needs some
work. She saddles and bridles like an old pro. She just needs some more
training. If you leave her in the round pen alone she starts bouncing up and
down with her front legs. She's a very
curious girl and wants to
be with someone all the time. She is really pretty, frisky and lively.

 Whiley
is a 11 year old, 16 hand, Appaloosa, gelding, NER # 241.
Whiley is a sweet guy that is easy to work with. He is trained to ride and does good on the trail. He did
want to leave Beth behind to much, but with some
encouragement he did ok. He has been just sitting around for awhile and needs
some time out riding. A year ago or so Whiley was used in a dude string and got
pretty thin. He is a good boy that just needs a home were he can be loved and
ridden.

Beth & Whiley
have been with us since July 3rd. They both were
abandon by their owner. A caring couple where feeding the
horses so they where in pretty good condition. We worked with the county and
impounded both of the horses. Soon after their owner contacted us and wanted
their horses back, we informed the owner that they would need to call the
District Attorney's office and talk with them. They did so, but when they
learned that they where going to have to pay
impound fees, boarding fees, transporting fees, etc, they
quickly lost all interest in their horses and never made contact with anyone
again. We had to keep the horses for 30 days and then the county was able to
give us a letter of abandonment and that gave us the right to place these horses
into new homes. We are looking for a home out of Plumas County. |

 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.
Adoption Fee:
$600 |
 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.

Remington 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 a
very
energetic horse. He is well 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, ties, stands for the farrier and was good
for the vet. Remmy's navicular issue is under control, our vet recommended that
we have him shoed with pads and now Remmy is doing great.

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 is still lame after a month of TLC. Our vet has taken x-rays on 2
different occasions and found nothing. Cowboy's coffin bone has not rotated, so founder
is pretty much out of the picture now and by one month his hooves should be fine
if they where trimmed too sort. We are going
to give him another week on meds and hope that it will help, if not, we will be
looking at possible surgical options. Cowboy is in rehabilitation status until his lameness issues are under control.

In
loving memory of Robert and Louise Krume, we have been able to upgrade our
truck & trailer. Our old trailers were a leased 3 horse slant and an older 4 horse
stock trailer, witch greatly limited the amount of equines we were able to
rescue at one time. Our leased truck had over 200k miles on it and was slowing
down with each rescue.
Now we are able to lease a new 2006 Chevrolet Silverado Diesel and purchase a
new 24' FeatherLite that can easily carry 10 equines. We are very grateful for
the large donation made in loving memory of Robert and Louise Krume. Thanks to
them, many equines will be able to live a life of happiness and peace. |

We have been really busy this last month delivering
adopted equines, picking up and working with our new arrivals. We were so busy
that we were unable to keep our website updated and we are truly sorry about
that. We were also unable to go to this month's auction due to our stalls and
pens overflowing with equines needing homes. We are planning on going to the
September auction and filling our new horse trailer up with poor, frightened
equines and give them a new life of happiness.
We have been looking a rental
to rent for this winter or a property to buy. As winter is coming near our fears
begin to rise. At our current location we are leasing now we get snowed and/or
flooded in during the winter and we are unable to rescue horses during that
time. Last winter we boarded our equines in the Oroville area and adopted them
out from down there. The winter before Vice
President Tawnee Preisner's
rescued horse Gypsy slipped in the snow and broke his hip and had to be put
down. After that Tawnee said that there would never be any more horses
at our current
location in the winter.
We must find a place ASAP, a place that doesn't get snow. If you know of
a place, please let us know.
Our website is updated - Enjoy! |
Thank you
for supporting our rescue efforts and please consider opening your home
to one of our equines!
