34 year old Tan and White Paint Gelding

He was previously saved from an auction by the owner of the Horses Healing Heroes Program and she donated Max to us in December 2018. He is missing several of his teeth, which makes it hard for him to chew his hay sometimes dropping wads that are called Quidding. He gets fed a larger amount of pelleted hay soaked into mash 2x per day along with a small scrap of hay bits to nibble. Max is being utilized as a companion therapy friend for my husband (who struggles with anxiety and bipolar) as they had bonded pretty tight as soon as they saw each other.

Her heart murmur has progressed with age, and most of her back molar teeth have either fallen out or broken, limiting her to eating soft mash like Max.

She is a 32-year-old Appendix Bay Mare.

An Appendix is a cross between a Thoroughbred and an American Quarter Horse. From what we understand, Sassy is about three-quarters Thoroughbred and one-quarter Quarter Horse, with a face and smaller feet resembling a Thoroughbred. She was donated to us in December 2018 through the Horses Healing Heroes Program. Sassy is extremely gentle and enjoys belly rubs, often lifting her back leg and curling around the person giving her attention as if she’s hugging. She loves treats and sometimes searches pockets for goodies. We are monitoring her for health issues such as arthritis, Navicular syndrome or heel pain in her front feet, and EOTRH, a painful condition affecting her front incisors.

Approx. 26 year old Dark Bay Quarter Horse Mare

Baby was surrendered to us in January of 2022 from a situation where she was being neglected for some reason and was very skinny and had really bad rain rot and a bad locking stifle in her back left leg. She had originally been used as a barrel racer and then breeding stock before her recent owner that surrendered her to us. Baby also has some damaged tissue on her back right cannon bone that appears to perhaps been barbwire. She has damaged lungs either from her barrel racing days dusty arenas or smoke inhalation from the fire zones that happened a couple years ago near where she lived at the time. She has a bump on her front right coronet that looks like ring-bone not xrayed yet.

Approx. 24 year old Palomino Appendix Gelding

Chad was donated to us in September 2021 from Horses Healing Heroes Program because he had been in a situation with a client not following the rules and had been injured because of it and needed to be put in a different place to help him recover and have another job to do. Chad is a bit of a headstrong teenager type horse that hasn’t learned efficiently how to give to pressure. He has a bit of a toe in stance and a sway back which is being worked on with therapy to help him lift his core muscles and round out more.

17 year old Sorrel/Chestnut Quarter Horse Gelding

Tucker was donated to us from Horses Healing Heroes Program in October 2023. He is a smaller petite guy who needs a smaller rider. He has a sway back with damage that HHH program was working with chiropractors and vet to repair damaged tissue and get him back to riding. The program didn’t have enough regular smaller riders so he wasn’t being used as much. He is also a very herd bound anxious horse who thrives on being with others. He also has a strong fear of cows which the HHH program had in a field nearby which tended to become a problem sometimes. We are still getting to know him and figure out what we can also help him with. He really likes being in the same field with the rest of our horses. He has gotten pretty settled in with only a few anxious set offs.

18 year old Sorrel/Chestnut Pony Mare.

Precious was surrendered to us in July 2024 with her 4 year old gelding son (discussed next). Her previous name was Trouble which we decided does not suite her very well so we decided a change was in order.

Precious had some pretty intense head shyness that we have been working on to help reassure her that we would be very gentle with her. She has come a long way with her anxiety and nervousness, but still has some work to do. She is in need of teeth floating as soon as we can get it scheduled and budgeted. She is also been put on the farrier list for more regular trims to get her to a better length.

26 year old Hafflinger Mare

Bessie was surrendered on 1/5/25 because her owner felt that she could no longer care for her anymore. Bessie's previous owner had bought her off of craigslist because she reminded her of a horse she used to have.

We will add more info about her when figure her out more.

Bo is a brown? roan? mustang gelding that is probably about 20 years old. We will verify his age when he is willing to let us get his brand shaved down to read it. He was in a field for many years with his other companions left to fend for himself so is not totally trusting yet. He is very smart and allows some small pets on muzzle and some on shoulder. Not halter savvy. He has been seen by the vet before coming to us and has been dewormed and had his feet cared for. He does need to be sedated to get his feet done. We will be working with him every day to improve on his trust and hopefully be able to brush him fully to help with his coat health. More updates to come.

An approximately 38+/- year old Arabian gray mare. She is obviously underweight quite a bit. She has minimal teeth left so we are working on building her weight back by soaking her pellet and cube mix with warm water twice a day. There is a lump around the bottom of her right eyelid. The vet has seen it and is keeping an eye on it. We will do the best we can to help her get as healthy and comfortable as possible while she gets TLC from everyone.

Daisy is a small burro, either a Jennet/Jenny (girl), with a faint brand on her left side. She tends to be quite wary and nervous around people, having had limited handling in her past. She has been fed treats like apples and carrots, which has contributed to her being a bit overweight. Living with Fancy and Bo for a long time and surrounded by abundant grass and weeds, she prefers to keep her distance and only approaches when she’s interested in treats, often offering her nose for a gentle check. She will be on a diet to hopefully keep her from foundering and having other health problems.
