New Arrivals

  Game Patriot "Ruby" is a very thin 15 year old, 15.1 hand, chestnut, Thoroughbred, mare, NER # 242. Ruby is a very sweet girl who had some bad luck. She was rescued from a farm that was not feeding her, she had been on a dry pasture for six months. The people who rescued her couldn't afford to feed her either, so they took her to an auction where she was rescued by us and is now getting the love & care she needs. She has been ridden English, done dressage and was a broodmare for the last six years. During her last birth she tore and was stitched up, the stitches where still there when we rescued her, caked with manure and causing her pain. We are looking for a home for her who can give her lots of love and nutrition.  Adoption Fee: $400.00

   Sheza QT Pep Chex "Sheza"  is a 18 year old, 14.3 hand, Quarter Horse, mare, NER # 243. Her first owner had her 11 years and used her for bulldogging in rodeos. 4 years ago she was sold and then for the past 3 years she was used as a broodmare, but she miscarried every time. They were unable to keep her and gave her away to a nice man, who needed her for his grandson, but turned out to be a money hungry liar. He took his fat horse to an auction where we paid the $$$ to save her from the killer buyers. Please if you can't keep your horse don't give it away to strangers! We have ridden her she did good, but needs a refresher course.  Adoption Fee: $850

   Cindy is a 15 year old, 15.1 hand, thin, Quarter Horse / Arabian, mare, NER # 244. Cindy is a beautiful horse and loves to be groomed. Cindy does have a very mild case of melanoma to learn more about melanoma click here. She has been used as a trail horse for kids. Her past owner had her for two years, but took her to an auction because the kids lost interest in her. She is easy to ride, but needs someone who can show her what to do and make her do it. She has been ridden by kids who let her pretty much go where she wanted to go. She is like "Are you really going to make me do that? Well ok I guess I will". She's very easy going and will make a great horse for someone.  Adoption Fee: $650

  Stella is a 8 year old, 14.1 hand,  Arabian/Quarter Horse, mare, NER # 245.  Stella is a very sweet mare. She has had about 6 months under saddle. She is sensitive and needs an experienced horseperson to put more miles on her. She will make a nice riding horse but just needs more miles. She is an easy keeper, and good around other horses. She has good ground manners and no vices. Her past owner was no longer able to keep her and she donated Stella to us. She loves being groomed and loved on and loves people. She is just waiting for a home she can call her own, you can give her that home, she waiting for you to love her.
Adoption Fee: $550
  Flash is a 2 year old, 14.1 hand, Quarter Horse, mare. NER # 246-149.  Flash came to our rescue as a 10 month PMU filly named Lucy. She was adopted by a staff member who has given her lots of love, care, and started training her to saddle. Due to our move to our new facility she is no longer able to keep her. Flash is in great health and up to weight, she is truly beautiful. She is black right now but some day she will be a beautiful steel dapple. She has a very sweet personality and is all around a very good girl. She has a long life ahead her and with many hours of trail rides and love to give to someone special.
 
Adoption Fee: $500   

Rehabs

   Sunny is a 8 year old, 15.1 hand, Arabian, gelding. NER # 236.   Sunny is doing good and gaining his weight back. He is in a foster home and is making a great recovery. His is a very sweet guy and is loving all the love his gets with his foster family. Thanks to people like you, we are able to give horses like Sunny a second chance at life. Sunny would be most likely dead or almost dead by now if we had not saved him. Some day soon Sunny will be able to fully enjoy the life he deserves and be that healthy, up to weight and beautiful horse that he once was. It is really fulfilling to work with so many neglected, unloved, uncared for, and mistreated horses and to be able to see them enjoy their lives. Thanks to your support Sunny is starting to enjoy his life again! Click Here For Sunny's Rescue Story  Status: Rehabilitation
   Cowboy is a 9 year old, 15 hand, Kiger Mule, gelding, NER # 226. Cowboy is still in rehab and will remain in this status until spring 2007. After many x-rays and vet bills, with no real answers to Cowboy's hoof condition, we where overjoyed  by an invitation from a bare foot trimmer for Cowboy to come and be fostered with her and she would work on getting his hooves into the proper conformation. We took Cowboy over to her ranch were he will have the best of hoof care. We hope that all this loving care on his hooves will enable him to live a pain free life and be able to run and play as he should.
Status: Rehabilitation
