Many New Equines Are Available

  Katie is an 35+ year old, 16 hand, Thoroughbred / Quarter Horse, Mare, NER # 254.  Katie was donated because her owners were no longer willing to care for her.
   She is a sweet, friendly girl who needs a caring home.  She is blind in her right eye, but can still get around good. 
   She is supposedly trained to ride, but due to her age she shouldn't be ridden other than perhaps letting a small child be led around once she is back up to weight.
   Katie is underweight, and with such an elderly horse, the road to recovery is long.

 
 Adoption Fee: Free

   Muffin is a 17 year old, 34 inches, Miniature Horse, gelding, NER # 255.
   Muffin is a cute little guy that was recently gelded.  He is very sweet and loves attention.  He is one of the friendliest mini's around.
   Muffin is only a touch underweight, but he should gain it back with no problems.  He is up to date on worming, vaccines, micro chipping and is ready to find a new home.

Adoption Fee:
$450.00

   Might-Tuff-Girl "Molly"  is a 18 year old, 14.3 hand, Appaloosa, registered in the Appaloosa Horse Club # 471851, mare, NER # 256.
   Molly is an incredibly nice, gentle, "follow around the pasture yearning for love" type of horse.  She is very easy going and will make a great beginners horse.  She is one of the sweetest horses we have on the property.  When she gets her weight back she will be an awesome horse! She is up to date on worming, vaccines, micro chipping and is ready to find a new home. Adoption Fee: $250

   Buck is a 22 year old, 15.2 hands, Quarter Horse, gelding, NER # 257.
   Buck is underweight but is slowly gaining it back.  He enjoys the company of humans and is willing to please.  He is kid safe, kid friendly, and would make a great Christmas present for the kid in your home.  He would be great for a first time beginner who wants to learn how to love a horse.
   He is up to date on worming and vaccines, and is ready to find a new home.

Adoption Fee:
Free

  Concho is a 4 yr old, 13.1 hand, Arabian/Paint, gelding, NER # 258.
   Concho is a great, young, healthy gelding.  He is green broke to ride, but is a little spooky when you first mount him.  He is very receptive to training, so if you know how to train and have the patience to work with him, he will serve you well.  He is a great project horse and will make a magnificent horse with proper training and love.
   Won't you consider giving Concho a home?
Adoption Fee:$650.00
  Diamond is a 7 yr old, 11 hand, Welsh Pony, Mare, NER # 259.  
   Diamond is a very beautiful welsh mare that is built very well.  She is curious about people and is learning to lead.  She was saved from a Livestock auction.  Due to severe coughing and a runny nose we took her and Onyx, her 2 month old foal, to the vet and she was diagnosed as having upper respiratory infection and a belly full of sand. 

  You have to meet Diamond and Onyx to fully appreciate how pretty they both really are.  Thanks to our loving care they have made a recovery and are now available for adoption.  Adoption Fee: $800 with Onyx


Onyx
is a 2 month old, Welsh Pony, colt, NER # 260.
   Onyx is a cute little guy that enjoys long naps in the sun and running around frisking happily.  When we rescued the poor little guy, he had a terrible cough and a runny nose.  The vet diagnosed an upper respiratory infection and he was full of parasites.  With proper care, medication, and love he is doing well and is ready for his new forever home.  Onyx is much too young to be weaned, so we are offering him with his mother.    Onyx pulled on our heart strings at the auction, and we know he will wiggle his way into yours.
 Adoption Fee: Free with Diamond's Adoption
  Rudolph is a 4 yr old, 13.3 hand, Paint, gelding, NER # 261.    Rudolph, just in time for Christmas, is the ultimate Christmas gift.  With a reindeer on his side, who can resist naming him after his motif?
   Rudolph is well trained to ride, is well boned and would make a wonderful youth or women's horse.  He is extremely friendly and has a personality that catches peoples hearts the minute they meet him.  Won't you let him prance his way into your home?
 Adoption Fee: $1000.00

Roshani Naranja is a registered 25 yr old, 14.2 hand, Arabian Mare, NER # 262.
  Roshani has seen the world!  She has traveled over 1600 competition miles on 36 endurance rides including the Tevis and the
Western States Trail Ride 100, both 100 mile rides.
  Roshani, due to her age, cannot be ridden in competition but would make a wonderful camping horse or pleasure trail riding.  She is in excellent condition and shape for her age and was not abused in any way.
   Roshani is a very loving, vocal horse and expresses her love willingly and cheerfully. 
 
 Adoption Fee: Free

Whiley is a 12 yr old, 16 hand, Appaloosa, gelding, NER # 241.
 Whiley is back due to his adopter trying to making some $$ selling him online.  Thanks to the fast action of NER angels, we were able to save Whiley from an unknown fate at the hand of what seems to be a money hungry "adopter."  We take our contract very serious when it reads that you cannot sell the adopted equine within 6 months.  The adopter adopted him for $850 and tried to sell him for $1500 two months later. 
 Whiley is being held for 10 days for evaluation and will then be available once again.
 Adoption Fee: $850.00 - Available 12/06/06

Jessie Is Still Waiting For A Home

Jessie is our 150th equine since we started rescuing equines in 2003!

   Jessie is a 27 year old, 14.3 hand, Mustang, gelding, NER # 252. 
 Jessie is a very sweet old guy that has been working at a dude ranch.  He was used for beginner rides and was great at his job. He has had a hard life and we are looking for a home he can be a baby sitter and loved on. He is healthy and enjoying his life, but he needs to start taking it easier in his old age.
  Jessie didn't have his BLM paper work when he came to us, but NER's trainer read his brand and BLM was able to confirm the reading and is sending us his paper work.
  If you have a place in your heart for this old guy and could give him a loving home, please do so.
 Adoption Fee: Free


Rehabs

  Charlie Boy is an 8 yr old, TB, gelding, NER #247. Charlie was brought to us very emaciated with a body score of 1-.  Charlie is amazing us beyond belief.  In the short time we have been blessed with his visit, he has gained over 500 lbs in less than 2 months!  Visitors, after commenting on what a great looking horse he is, are confounded when we show them his starvation pictures of 10-2-06.   We are hoping that Charlie will be available for adoption in a couple months. We would like to take this time to thank his sponsors for giving us the funds to provide Charlie a great second chance at life.  You must see more pictures of Charlie - Click Here. Status: Rehabilitation
   Cowboy is a 9 year old, 15 hand, Kiger Mule, gelding, NER # 226.
  Cowboy is continuing to receive A+ care and rehab at his foster home.  His feet are slowly coming around, and his pain diminishes as the days drift by. 
  We are hoping that Cowboy will be completely recovered and will be available in the spring of '07.
   A very big thank you to his foster family for all the time and love they are putting into his care.
Status: Rehabilitation

  We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that NorCal Equine Rescue is a 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization, and that all donations made before midnight, December 31st will be deductible on your income taxes come April!  If a charitable contribution is in your plans this holiday season, please remember the many equines that we have rescued and will continue to rescue through the coming years with your support.  We are eagerly seeking $5 a month sponsors for our '07 budget, and many people have opted to make a $60 donation this month so they can deduct the entirety from their taxes.  Please contact our fundraising coordinator for more information.  Shari - 530-354-7683  

   NorCal Equine Rescue is in negotiations for a long term lease on a 10 acre ranch that would be our permanent home.  We are very excited at the prospects!  The next e-news will contain the complete details as we will know if it is a go or not.  As you know, we have been renting 3 acres since August, and this has not been working out as a long term solution since it is simply not enough land to easily bare the number of equines we rescue.  Please pray that the negotiations will be completed to the satisfaction of all and that NorCal Equine Rescue can have a permanent forever home.

   We are almost at our goal of 75 horses this year.  Unfortunately, our facility is quite full.  We have a lot of equines at our ranch, and we cannot rescue any more until we adopt some out.  Just a few more, and we will have done it!  We have priced our adoption fees low in order to place them into loving homes quickly.  If you are interested in a horse, we recommend placing a $50 donation hold on them.  You can do this most easily by Paypaling the funds to donations@savethehorse.com  and then emailing us to let us know you have done this and which equine you are interested in.  Adoptions are performed on a first come, first serve basis among approved adopters.  If you are not yet approved, the $50 donation hold will give you 5 days to complete the adoption process.

  Upon the many requests of our supporters and fans, we have decided to make Dottie a long term resident mascot.  She will be our little greeter to give people a warm welcome.  We are organizing a new outreach program, the "Krume Animal Education Program" and Dottie will be traveling to schools to help teach kids about the responsibility that comes from owning animals.    Bring her a carrot when you come to visit our ranch.  If you would like to donate to the Krume Animal Education Program please contact Shari.  We will only be able to visit schools as money is donated for this program as we will not be using general rescue funds for programs other than rescuing equines.


Thank you for supporting our rescue efforts!
