Companion Horses

SAFER offers this website listing service for free to the local community. Please email pictures and lots of information on your horse to info@saferhorse.com. Always let us know immediately when the horse is no longer available.

For SAFER owned horses riding horses are $400 to $600 = sometimes more - which may be tax deductible. Companion animals are free to good homes. Donations always appreciated so that other horses can have the same chance.

 

To Be Adopted
Riding Horses

Sandstorm is a going on 3 yr 14.2 hand gelding with lovely manners, sweet and compliant. Just a beautiful young horse. He has been sacked out and lounged and is ready to start under saddle. We think he is related to Honey and Sonny for a number of reasons and they almost trained themselves! A good minded colt; a prize for the right family who will train him up.

Thatcher is a Bay Thoroughbred gelding, 17.2 hands, approx. 22 years old. I taught lessons to a five year old with him for years and he is great with kids in general. At this point, he can do low impact exercise (mellow trail riding and flatwork).

Companion Horses

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!

   

This is Red. He may be lightly rideable. Current owner does not ride him. Mid teens ex ranch horse who was injured and rehabbed.

Buddy is a gelding, 14 years old, spotted leopard appy.  He would be great with kids and being loved on.   He was hit in the face with a bull whip and it blinded him on one eye.   He has COPD which is kind of like Asthma.   He would be a great pasture buddy.   He is an easy keeper.

Update: He has healed up well and is traveling sound. We have put a saddle on him and this is old news to him. He will be a great find!

LONI

Loni is a wonderful 26 year old 16 hand TB that is gentle and sweet. She has been ridden in hunter jumper shows and has done very nicely. Now she has arthritis in her hind end and would like to be a companion only. She would love the job of adoring your gelding - or even a mare. A pretty and easy to handle girl.

Loni is an owner surrender and has her medical history with her 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.
