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 Beck at 715-505-4107 or
rollingrockrescue@gmail.com 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. All
horses adopted from our rescue are not to be sold or given away.
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.

Cash |
Cash is a 4 year old registered
Paint colt that arrived at the rescue in August 2010. This
sweet young boy has not had the easiest of starts. Earlier
this year, he caught his head in between a gate and post and
fractured a vertebrae - he's healing but we're not sure what his
long term outlook will be but we are willing to give him a chance
(right now he's a little off balance). Cash also had a
growth under his eye --
it has been tested and is benign. Update: Cash had the growth under his eye removed (thank
you Globe) and has been gelded! Check out how great it looks -
pic.
Cash is ready for his new home. Currently in foster care. |

Sam |
Sam is a gray QH gelding that arrived
at the rescue in October 2011. He is somewhere in his late 20s
but no one has told him that he's an older horse -- he can still
move (very well) when asked. He has been shown in games and
has qualified for the MN Champ show on a number of occasions.
Sam arrived a little thin but has been gaining nicely. He gets
along well with others and is ready to go. |

Sully |
Sully is a Paint gelding of an "uncertain age."
We are guessing by his teeth -- somewhere in his late 20s.
Sully came into the rescue thin in the fall of 2010 and has been in
foster care to see how he did through the winter and into the
spring. He looks great! Sully is very quiet, has
excellent ground manners and gets along very well with others.
After riding him, we are very confident he was shown in Western
Pleasure. Sully is up to date on everything and is ready to
go. Currently in foster care. |

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. |
|
Dakota |
Dakota is a 6 year old registered
Tennessee Walker that arrived at the rescue in May 2011. He
has excellent ground manners and is broke to ride. Dakota came
to us because of an injury that ended his career as a participant in
field trials with hunting dogs which requires hours of riding in
sometimes extreme conditions. Even though Dakota has had time off since his injury, he is still
not ready for his next career. He is also working on growing
back his missing hair (stress related loss). Another
pic of this handsome boy. We are going to give him some
more time and do some rehab work with him -- until we are sure of
his status, he will not be available for adoption. Currently in
foster care.

Duncan |
Duncan is a 20 something
Anglo-Arabian gelding. Duncan arrived at the rescue on 8/6/11
and as is very evident by the
pictures, he has been
starved. Unfortunately, his story is not unique -- his owner
loved him, rode him, life happened and there was no money to feed
him and well . . . this is the end result! He has a great
attitude, a strong will to live and we think he has a great chance
with some good groceries and lots of TLC. While he is putting
on some much needed weight, he will not be available for adoption.
Update: Duncan just had some extensive dental work which would
have contributed to his condition (or lack thereof). Currently in
foster care. Check out his new picture -- he has put on weight
and is doing great!

Ivy & Raven |
Ivy is a 6 year old registered Paint
mare that arrived at the rescue in August 2010 - pregnant. Ivy
(along with Neo) was rescued out of a bad situation by a caring individual
who contacted us because he was unable to financially care for two
more horses. Ivy is
very "off" in the back. Ivy's foal (a little filly named
Raven) arrived on June 25, 2011. Both mother and daughter are
doing great! We are not sure what the sire was -- Raven has
curly hair and no white; dark curly mane and tail and wavy hair on
her body. Unfortunately, in rescue cases such as Ivy's -- we
may never know. |
