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.

Please be aware that horses listed in foster care are available for adoption.  If you are interested in one of the horses that is currently in foster care, we can contact the foster family to arrange an appointment for you. 


Asti

Asti (Corksapopin) is a 5 year old OTTB gelding that arrived at the rescue in August 2010.  This big, gorgeous boy is sound and ready for his next job -- with his looks, attitude and talent, maybe a great barrel prospect or . . . ??  Another pic of Asti. 


Beauty

Beauty is a paint mare that was one of our first adoptions (back in 2005).  She is back with us only because the kids have out grown her (they were using her in 4H game shows) - she stands just over 14 hands and we believe she is approximately 18 years old. Beauty has a dominant personality and does require a confident rider.  She does get along well with other horses and is ready to go.


Bloominbobble

Bobbie is a mid-teens OTTB mare.  After her track career ended she was used as a broodmare.  Now it's time for her to just relax.  Bobbie will need to be adopted as a companion only because of a club foot. Need a babysitter for foals? Companion for a lonely horse?  This pretty girl would be happy just hanging out with you.  She gets along well with other horses 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. 


Hawk

Hawk is an 11 year old registered Missouri Fox Trotter gelding.  In his previous life, he was a ranch horse in Arizona but for the past few years, he has been used as a trail horse.  Hawk is gaited and is very comfortable for both long and short trails.  He stands well for the farrier, gets along well with others and is ready to go.


Her Wicked Ways

Candy is a 4 year old OTTB mare that arrived at the rescue in July of 2010. This lovely young lady stands a solid 17 hands!  Candy's registered name says nothing about her personality, she is very quiet and very sweetShe did come off the track with a slight bow on one of her front legs, however, she has had time off and is ready to start her new life off the track.  Adoption pending.


Kobe

Kobe (U go Coby's Chance) is a 3 year old OTTB gelding that arrived at the rescue in August 2010.  This big (17 hands) boy (and, yes, gorgeous) is sound and ready for his next job.  He was not so much into the whole racing thing but with his movement, we're thinking he'd be a great Dressage prospect!  Whatever his next job is -- Kobe is going to look great doing it.  Another pic of Kobe.


Marley

Marley (Bob's Marley) is a 4 year old OTTB filly that arrived at the rescue in September 2010.  She did very well on the track, however, the decision was made to retire her from racing and she came off the track sound and is ready for her next job.  Marley is very, very sweet and easy to handle (and very easy to look at).


Mary

Mary (Supreme Mary) is a yearling Thoroughbred filly that arrived at the rescue in August 2010.  This young lady does her best to live up to her name - she is pretty sure she is supreme!  Mary is blind in one eye (accident with a hot walker) but it does not slow her down a bit.  She is ready to go!


Nike

Nike (Friendly Force) is a 4 year old OTTB blood bay gelding that arrived at the rescue in September 2010. He has a great attitude, easy to handle and would look darn good at anything you want him to do!  Nike came off the track sound and is ready for his next career. 


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.   

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.


Stryder

Stryder is a 9 year old OTTB gelding that arrived at the rescue in June of 2010.  This handsome boy stands 16h.  He came off the track at 3 uninjured (he didn't have the heart for racing) and has since been used as a trail horse (bonus pic).  We think he could do more -- possibly barrels?  Stryder has a great attitude is very willing.  He gets along well with others and is ready to go.


Sylvia

Sylvia is a yearling mustang 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. Currently in foster care.


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.  Amazing what a few months can do!  His "arrival" pic. He gets along great with others (he is the bottom of the pecking order) 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

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. 


Corey

Corey is a 12 year old registered QH gelding that arrived at the rescue in June 2010.  In his "previous" life, Corey was a rodeo horse -- roping, hazing and pick up for bull riders (he really can do it all).  As a result of his rodeo days, and Corey's close encounters with bulls, he is going to require some chiropractic work to get back his bending ability.  Corey has an excellent attitude, is very willing and is going to make an excellent horse once we have him feeling better!  


Cash


Cash is a 2 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 has a growth under his eye -- it has been tested and is benign.  When we have the growth removed, he will also be gelded.  Cash will stay in rehab until after his gelding, growth removal and we can determine how his injury is healing.  This little guy could really use a sponsor!  Update:  Cash had the growth under his eye removed (thank you Globe) and has been gelded!  Check out how great it looks - pic.  Once he has a little time to heal, Cash will be available for adoption.



Neo

Neo is a 12 year old registered Paint gelding that arrived at the rescue in August 2010.  Neo and Ivy were rescued out of a bad situation by a caring individual who contacted us because he was unable to financially care for two more horses.  Neo is very underweight and is currently in foster care getting some groceries and TLC.  We have been told he is broke and has been trail ridden. One more pic of Neo.


Ivy

Ivy is a 4 year old registered Paint mare that arrived at the rescue in August 2010.  Ivy and Neo were rescued out of a bad situation by a caring individual who contacted us because he was unable to financially care for two more horses.  While Ivy's weight is much better than Neo's, Ivy is very "off" in the back.  We are in the process of determining the extent of Ivy's injuries.  Ivy is currently in foster care with Neo.
