Personal Honor

Nora.jpg

Nora came to our facility in with a bowed tendon injury she sustained while racing. After seven months of stall rest, the tendon was fully healed and she was ready to begin her rehabbing and retraining process. 

As soon as we began working with her, we were so impressed with her level head and willingness to try new things. She was so special that we considered keeping her to be a learning horse for our inexperience helpers.

Lucky for us, she stayed “in the family”— Mary Ann, an equine bodyworker and friend of the rescue, adopted Nora, after the two of them fell in love during a bodywork session. They love exploring the trails and are training together in Western Dressage. We’re so happy that this pair ended up together!

Spirit of Teras

Atreyu.jpg

Atreyu, now known as Jack, raced once and was then retired, completely sound.

He was at the rescue for a very short period of time before being adopted.

As a 4 year old, he stood at 17.2h and was definitely still growing!

Hail Queen Mary

hail queen mary.jpg

“Queenie” was trained to race, but was too slow to be competitive on the track. She is a sweet mare with a strong foundation. She is very affectionate, really bonds with her “person” and loves to please.

Queenie was adopted in the summer of 2019 by a wonderful family with a small horse sanctuary. Queenie and Byronn were adopted together!

Byronn arrived after being diagnosed with a congenital disease that affects the navicular bones in his hooves. He is a quarter horse gelding that raced 6 times.

Byronn was adopted within a month or so of arriving! In the summer of 2019 a wonderful family with a small horse sanctuary adopted Byronn and Queenie together!

Lady May Do

May, now known as Vienna, is an extraordinary young mare. She was bred for racing, but never made it to the track. She spent a year in our training program and learned a lot about manners and ground schooling. 

She has lovely gaits and a nice little jump. With the right partner, this mare will go far! She is green, but curious and willing, really wanting to please! A total in-your-pocket mare - loves people and attention. 

May was adopted and lives nearby!

REign.jpg

Reign has quite the story for a young horse. After being surrendered straight from the track, he was rehabilitated and retrained. After a failed adoption, he ended up finding his way to his forever home!
