This is Brandy a 18 - 20yr old 15 QH mare who is well trained western pleasure. Fully vetted, teeth done, and a great little riding horse. She was impounded by Morgan at Lake County Animal Control for neglect, rehabbed by same, and is ready for her new home. Its quite a story. I love this picture. It looks like she has been rolled in butter and dusted with sugar. Her name should be Cinnamon Cookie. But no - this is apres bath and she just had to drop and roll.....

Mystic is an Arab/Saddlebred cross. He is about 14.2 and 16-18 years old. He is funny looking and has strange conformation but don't let him fool you, he is about as healthy as they come. He is a lot of fun to ride but needs an experienced rider who is smaller than his current owner.

Casper is an adorable 14 hand Arab gelding that was picked up by a private rescurer. Probably in his early twenties - young for an Arab.
Update 8/10: " Oh my gosh! He was fabulous!!!!! He is such a good boy. Today I decided just to get on and see what happens. So we headed down the road and he was like an old pro! He is an awesome trail horse. Very relaxed and has a great trail walk. No spook or anything! Even though he had never walked down that road, he did it like he had done it a thousand times before. Such a good boy! I can't even tell you how excited I am. "

There
is a sweet kind of satisfaction in pairing up horses who
truly depend on the company of another horse to keep them
healthy and well-adjusted. Solitary confinement is
about as wonderful for a horse as it is for a human.
Many people's love for horses does not include the need
to ride on a daily basis. The occasional walk around
the pasture or short trail adventure a few times a year
on a companionable horse is a great pleasure. The
nicker of your horses as you come out to give them a morning
flake of hay and the antics of horses together is what many
older horse people enjoy in their lives. People and horses
make GREAT retirement companions!
Remember health and temperament are very important aspects
of the information needed here as different people will
have different capabilities to handle high strung horses
or those with medical needs. |

Shahnessa is an older retired show horse. She is the daughter of the great Bey Shah - a very famous Arab Stallion. Her owner has cared for her for 24 years and is now without the means to continue or even humanely euthanize. This mare is very sweet and still has a lot of life left in her. Is there an Arab lover out there who would give her refuge in her last years?

sweet. She has been ridden in hunter jumper shows and has

back to '97. She has been well cared for and has no other
issues besides her arthritis. She is beautiful to look at
and sweet to handle.

Therapeutic riding program (Ridgewood T.R.A.I.L. Riders Assn) is looking for a retirement home for Darlin.
Darlin' is a 22 year old appaloosa mare who has been a wonderful therapist in our program for the last 4 years. Unfortunately due to arthritis in her back Darlin is no longer able to participate in lessons. She is a happy pasture mare and a wonderful companion horse to other horses, due to her “go with the flow” horsenality. Darlin' has a great personality and gets along wonderfully with people and is a very entertaining and sweet companion. Darlin is a dear friend who we would like to see go into the right retirement home, due to the fact that the program does not have the facility or finances to support another horse at this time. If you are interested in Darlin please call Erin at (707) 391-3873. |
