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.

Billy

Billy is a 10 year old (recently gelded), liver chestnut, Quarter Horse (Coys Bonanza breeding).   He was used as a breeding stud up until October 2009.  He has had some groundwork and is not broke to ride.  Billy is sound and ready to go.      

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. 

Lacey

Lacey is an 8 year old bay mare, "Sound."  She stands for the farrier, vet and baths.  Lacey loves trail riding and attention.  She needs an experienced rider and requires patience at the trailer for loading.  Rides with or without saddle nicely and she is ready to go.  Bloodlines:  Dam - Ponde Shilo; Sire - Tyne Silver


Louie

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.

Mr. Playwright

Twister is a 7 year old OTTB gelding that arrived at the rescue in August 2009.  This handsome boy came off the track with a bowed tendon.  Twister has had time off and is ready for his next job.    (Vaudeville Irish Carey; Conquistador Ciello).   


Precious

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 that she does not like men she does not know or trust.  Gets along well with others and is ready to go.   


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. 

 

If you can't adopt or foster a horse but you would like to volunteer, please contact us at 715-505-4107 or email us at rrrescue@wildblue.net.  There are always a multitude of things that need to be done.  If you're not comfortable around horses but would still like to help, we can always find something that needs to be done (fencing, moving bales, etc.)  If you really like to spend time with a horse -- we can always find a horse for you to brush!  If you would like to make a donation, you can do so below or check out our Donate page for other ways to donate.
