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.

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 sweet.
She 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. |
