Gordy is a registered 24 year old Paso Fino gelding that arrived at our rescue in February 2008. His

 Jenny Lynn |
Jenny Lynn is a 37 year old, gorgeous dun, Quarter
Horse mare that came to us in April of 2005 from a friend of ours.
She has been a broodmare her whole life and is now here for retirement
purposes only. Jenny Lynn has navicular disease which makes it
difficult for her to get anywhere very quickly, however, with the
right pasture mates, she does very well. She will live out the
rest of her days at the rescue and will become a part of our Horseless
Kids Program. |

 Rosie |
Rosie is a 13 year old Welsh/Clydesdale mare that was
rescued in September 2006. Her feet were in terrible shape
when she arrived, however,
Rosie's feet continue to improve but she could really use a sponsor
to help with her farrier costs. We have become quite attached
to Rosie and because of her "special needs" (her feet), she will
stay here as one of residents. If you would like to read more
about Rosie, check out her story.
Rosie had a special visitor recently - her sponsor,
Barb came to
the rescue just to see her!! |

 Sadie |
Sadie is a 17 year old sorrel/white overo Paint mare that came to us in July of 2005. She is about 15.2 hands tall and is a real sweetheart. She loves to be bathed and is a real treat hound. In the past, Sadie was used for 4-H, showing, trail riding, and therapeutic riding. Three years ago, she was diagnosed with lower ring bone in her front left leg and therefore cannot be ridden at this time. With the proper veterinary care and corrective shoeing, she may be able to be ridden by a light weight rider. Sadie will remain at the rescue and be used in the Horseless Kids Program. Currently in foster care. |

 Skip |
Skip is a 22 year old, buckskin Quarter Horse gelding that came to us in August of 2005. He is about 15 hands and a very stock boy. His previous owner rides and hunts a lot out west and because of Skip's arthritis, he was unable to make the hard rides and Skip was donated to the rescue. He can be used for trail riding, showing and you can even shoot off of his back. He will remain at the rescue and be used in the Horseless Kids Program. Currently in foster care. |

Zippos |
"Slimer" is a 22 yr. old registered,
sorrel Quarter Horse gelding that came to us in October of 2005.
He is an extremely large horse standing about 16.1 hands and weighing
in about 1350 pounds! In the past, Slimer was used for halter,
Western Horsemanship, hunter under saddle, western pleasure, and hunt
seat equation. He was shown his whole life and now needs to have
things settle down a bit. We are pretty sure that he has
navicular disease and he will need special shoes in order to be
ridden. He is having natural hoof trimming to help him walk a
little more normally. He came to us from a therapeutic riding stable and will now remain
here at the rescue and become part of our Horseless Kids program. |
