Why adopt or
foster a rescue horse? If you’re not sure about whether you want
another horse or any horse, consider fostering one or two. Find out if
you like hearing the “nicker” of horse as they see you coming. If you
don’t ride but you really enjoy taking care of horses, consider adopting
or fostering a companion horse (or two). These horses would make a
beautiful addition to your pasture and be wonderful companions to you or a
lonely horse. We now have a Sponsorship
Program available to individuals who want to make a difference but
cannot adopt or foster.
The horses featured below
are available for adoption and/or fostering. If you are interested in
any of our horses, please feel free to contact us at 715-505-4107
(Beck), 715-505-1386 (Sarah) or
rrrescue@wildblue.net for
further information. If you are interested in adopting one of the
horses in foster care, please let us know so that we can set up a
meeting with the foster family. Our adoption fees start at $300. Before you adopt any horse, we do expect you to
come out and visit the horse you choose before making a final decision --
our goal is to place the right person with the right horse. Need a place
to keep your horse? We do offer boarding at our facility.
Be sure to check out the horses in our
rehabilitation section.

Cat |
Cat is a 5 yr. old QH mare that arrived at the rescue
in May of 2009. Since Cat's arrival we have had an
opportunity to work with her and have started putting some miles on
her. She would make a good pleasure prospect and/or trail
horse. Cat is very willing to please and just needs more miles
put on her to become the horse that we know she can be. She gets along well with others and
is ready to go. |

Cricket |
Cricket is a 3 year old Pintabian
filly that arrived at the rescue in the summer of 2007 as a
yearling. She has been started on the ground and has done very
well. Cricket is ready to start the next "phase" of training.
She is very friendly and willing. Now that she is older,
she is ready to go to a new home. |

Crystal |
Crystal is a 22 year old, 15H
chestnut and white Appaloosa mare that arrived at the rescue in
September of 2008. She prefers being by herself rather than
with other horses, however, she does seem to enjoy the company of
cows. She is broke to ride and can be ridden by all skill
levels. She is very sweet and loves
attention. She is ready to go to a new home. Note:
the smaller picture of Crystal was provided by her previous owner,
the larger picture shows her as she looks right now -- she will need
a few groceries to get back to a healthy weight. Adoption
pending. |

Louie is 17 year old sorrel OTTB gelding that stands
16+. He is one those gentle giants that is a been there, done
that horse. He has been a lesson horse for western, English
and jumping. Does well with any type of rider -- from little
to big, from beginner to experienced. And to make him even
more appealing, he loves, loves to trail ride. This guy will
do it all for you! Louie is sound and ready to go. |

Precious is a 12 year old
registered breeding stock Pinto mare. She stands 14.2. Precious
is broke to ride, has been shown in 4H but is not a beginner horse.
She is sound, has excellent ground manners -- only known issue is

|

Reiko |
Reiko is a
5 year old black Welsh cross gelding that stands about 14 hands.
He
is broke and kid friendly (used for trail riding). Reiko is
one of those in your pocket ponies except that he takes everything
from your pocket (gloves, hats, tools, etc.) and plays "catch me if
you can" when he does. He is very easy to catch except when he
has taken something from your pocket. He is sound and ready to
go. |

Robin |
Robin is an 8 year old registered
(ER Doc Robin) Breeding Stock Paint
mare that
arrived at the rescue in February of 2007. She stands about 15
hands and is very sweet. Because Robin does have high ringbone
in her back leg, she will need to be adopted as a companion or she
may be used for light riding. She has been started on basic
groundwork and just needs to have someone continue along with her
training. She is ready to go. Currently in foster
care. |
|
 |
|

Sylvia |
Sylvia is a yearling filly that
arrived at the rescue in November of 2009. She was named for a
special young girl that raised
money for the horses at our rescue. Sylvia is as sweet as her
namesake! This little girl is ready to go. |

Tailwinds Design |
Brodie is a 10 yr. old registered
solid Paint. This gorgeous boy is what we call "a confidence
builder" horse. Because of pain in his left front
fetlock, Brodie spent some time in our rehab section. It has
been determined that he will be a companion only. Brodie would
be a great companion for a lonely horse (or human), a nice boy to
lead the grandchildren or little ones on and he would also look
great in anyone's pasture. Currently in foster care. |

 |
|

Twix |
Twix (not to be confused with the
candy bar - although he is very sweet) is a brown, coming 3 year old
Thoroughbred gelding that arrived at the rescue in November of 2009.
This boy is about as sweet as they come. If you are looking
for a willing, kind and did we mention "sweet" horse to start --
Twix is that kind of horse. He came to us a little thin but he
has been eating "like a horse" and has been gaining nicely. He gets along great with others and is ready to go. |
|
 |
|

Willow |
Willow is a 12 year old TW/QH Buckskin
mare that arrived at the rescue October of 2009. She stands at
around 14.2H. Since Willow's arrival she has been one of the
favorites for the kids to climb on. She is one of those
horses with what we call an "excellent attitude." No matter
what you do, she takes it all in stride, calm and quiet.
Willow is sound, friendly, gets along well with others and is ready
to go. |

REHABILITATION |
|
The following horses our currently in our
rehabilitation program for various reasons. Some of them have
been rescue situations and others were brought to our rescue by
owners who could not afford the necessary surgery or medical care
that was needed. Donations and/or sponsors are always needed
for these horses as some of their costs can be very high. |
 |
Skip is a 9 yr. old registered
Paint gelding. This handsome boy is in rehab because of fear
issues. He is willing, smart and tries very hard to please,
however, somewhere in his past something happened to him that caused
him to develop some fears he needs to overcome. |
