Dear
NorCal Equine Rescue Friends,
We have been very busy caring for equines and working hard to get the new
ranch up and going! Bomber, Lassen and Beth came back to us last month as their
owner got cancer and sadly was no longer able to care for them. The morning after
New Years our staff woke up to find a thin horse on their lawn! Someone must
have opened the gate and dropped him off that night... |

New
Equines Are Available |
Bombers Express
is a 12 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 came 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.

Lassen is a 16 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.

 Nibbles
is 2 years old, about 14 hand, Quarter Horse,
gelding, NER # 263. The morning after New Years our staff woke up to
find this guy on their lawn! Someone must have backed up to our gate and let him
out. His hooves are long and he is underweight. Whoever had him really didn't
care for him at all. He does know how to lead and will follow you anywhere for a
flake of hay. He doesn't know that carrots, apples or grain is good to eat yet,
but he will surely learn!

Roger is a 20 year old, 14.1 hands, Tennessee Walker, gelding, NER # 264.
Roger is a very sweet guy that was rescued from a horse trader back in September
by a concerned person. Roger was starving to death as he has really
no back teeth and is not able to eat hay. The person who rescued him fed him
soft foods and he began gaining weight. The person was unable to keep
him and donated him to us so we can find him the perfect home. He is a kids
friendly
horse and is well trained to ride.

Freckles, Madeline and Murphy. These horse where donated to us, they have
been well loved and cared for. Sadly their owner could not keep them any more. The
elderly lady owned Freckles for 12 years, Madeline was born on her property, and
Murphy she owned for 5 years. Their owner was not able to ride them, but
would spend her time just loving and grooming them. Her family members would
occasionally ride them. But really they
were just her pets and got lots of her love and care. |
Murphy is a 8 year old, about 14.1 hands,
Quarter Horse cross, gelding, NER # 265. Murphy is a sweet guy that is shy of new
people and enjoys running in our new 4 acre pasture. We have not had the time
to work with him yet, but we will as soon as we can. He seems like a sweet guy,
that wants to pleases, and is easy to catch. He is really beautiful and will
probably need some refreshing when it's time to go riding. With a little work he
should be a great horse for someone.

Freckles is a 20 year old, about 14.3 hands, Arabian, mare, NER # 266.
Freckles is a very sweet well mannered girl that is really beautiful. She is
underweight, but should gain it back fine, she just needs to be in a pen by
herself. We have not had the time to work with
her, we will as soon as we can. We do know that she is easy to catch, lead, load
into a trailer, and was ridden more the Murphy. She will probably also need some
refreshing when it's time to go riding. She really is a good horse that
will bring a lot of love to someone lucky.

 Madeline
"Maddi" is a 5 year old, about 14 hands, Thoroughbred cross, NER # 268. Maddi is really sweet and has been loved and babied all of her life. She is
really really cute and loves to be messed with. She is trained to lead and that
is about it. This is the first time she has left the place where she was born
and everything is new. She is doing very well with all the changes and is calm
with it all. She will need to be trained to ride and then she will be the
perfect little horse. Please give her a chance and you will not be disappointed.
The only reason she is not trained already is she was a pet just to love on.

 Slewcie
is a 13 year old, 16 hand, Thoroughbred, mare, NER # 269.
Slewcie is a very sweet horse that really loves to give you a real horsy
hug! She is trained to ride and we were told that she would be good for an
intermediate rider. We have not had the time to
work with her yet, but we will as soon as we can. She would be good for
occasionally ridding as she tends to go lame
from time to time, and no one knows why. She may have some reproductive issues, we
were told that she seems to be in heat to much. She is all so sweet, please give
her a chance.

Still Waiting For A Homes |
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.

Concho
is a 4 yr old, 13.1 hand,
Arabian/Paint, gelding,
NER # 258.
Concho is a great, young gelding. He has wonderful ground manners
and is very green broke
to ride. He is spooky when you first mount him and did buck our trainer off
once. He is a great project horse and will make a magnificent horse with proper
training and love. He seems as if someone spent a lot time working with him on
ground manners and then someone else just tried to get him riding ASAP so they could
get more money at the auction. He is a really sweet horse that just needs some
TLC. Won't you consider giving Concho a home?

gained almost 600
lbs since October! Charlie recently developed Strangles and will be in

 Beth
is a 14 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. She recently developed Strangles and will be in recovery until she
completely recovers. She's a very
curious girl and wants to
be with someone all the time. She is really pretty, frisky and lively.
Status: Quarantined |
 Whiley
is a 12 yr 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
doesn't like to leave other horses behind to much, but with some
encouragement he does 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.
He developed Strangles and will be in
recovery until he completely recovers.

| The
Claire Giannini Fund awarded
NER a $5000.00 grant last month! Thanks to the grant we were able to
purchase
a 4 stall mare motel and an
equine scale. For so
long we have wanted a mare motel to place our newly rescued equines
until they get used to our ranch and are able to be turned out into
pasture, for pregnant mares, mares with foals, and for injured equines to have a
safe place to recover in. The
scale will be a wonderful addition so we will be able to carefully
document equines recovery to full health, and to insure the equine is
not gaining weight to rapidly or losing weight. This grant could not
have come at a better time as these are valuable addition to our new
facilities. We want to thank Sierra Barns and Corrals at
www.SierraBarns.com for helping give us such a wonderful
deal on our new
4 stall
mare motel! |
With your help, we were able to
rescue 69 equines in 2006! We are very happy that we were able to save
69 equines from a life of unsure future. Our goal was 75 equines for
2006, as we were unable to meet our goal last year, the goal will stay
the same this year. We have already had 6 equine come into our rescue
this year! The way this seems to be so far we should meet our goal.
Since we started rescuing equines in 2003 we have been able
rescue 166 equines and 2 pigs! Every year our rescue numbers go up
higher and higher. In 2003, 5 were saved - 2004, 35 were saved - 2005,
51 were saved - 2006, 69 were saved - 2007, 6 already! We are only able
to rescue equines when funds allow. With getting the ranch up and going, fund
are really being stretched thin - Your donation would be greatly
appreciated, every dollar really does help. |
| We have a new board member,
Joshua Orozco has joined us to help fight for those who have no voice.
Josh is 26 years old, married, has 2 children, he is a very dedicated,
hard working, horse loving individual and he will make a valuable
addition to the board. Josh's email address is

a 200' x
120' arena, a round pen pad,
drive way and pads for a hay barn, mare motel, tack
room and office. The horses just love the new pen, they enjoy running around
with the wind in their manes. Most of the horses are at the ranch now. Our staff
have been working hard 10 to 14 hours a day to help get this ranch going. We plan on being out there full time end of February. There
are so many things that need to be done it is a little overwhelming, but we will
get it done.
fiantly gone the extra mile to make sure the job is being done right. The
tractor work started on the second of this month and was done on Friday. The
place looks different now, it really looks good. It is so exciting to really
have a long term
