Horses at Home - Whisper Win

Adele has officially been at her foster home for a week now ♥ The vet is scheduled to take out her stitches on the 20th and then she will need another two weeks of stall rest and a month plus in a small paddock to finish healing. After that, she will be great as a trail companion or pleasure horse. She does still need a forever home and is adoptable at any point!

Officially Adopted: Magoo

Magoo is officially adopted by her trial family (the same family who has given a home to Dodge). She is currently housed with Honey and Jane down from the rescue and has been doing fantastic! ♥ They love her!

Adele next door to her adopted neighbour, Jane. She is doing quite well, though she does still need a forever home. In regards to her $12,000 bill, we have had $2,800 generously donated so far ♥

February 14, 2012 - Erin and Splash sharing the love ♥

Thank you to Mandy Barnes for your $100 donation to Adele’s bill in memory of Chico who died of colic 20 years ago. Julie has lost the colic battle many times before and it is nice that we can all come together for one big victory ♥

Belle Update

Took Belle out on the trails the other day! She carried a Western saddle and rider without any issues. Towards the end of the ride, she started to really get the hang of it and even led along the trails for a bit. She is a really sweet and easy going lady with a super comfortable pace! Julie said she could sit it all day. Of course, she can also be re-trained to trot. Unfortunately, they didn’t get any pictures. She is a lovely girl who really deserves a home.

Playful Act really wants to share her love with a forever home ♥ She is a coming 5 y/o Standardbred mare around 14.2hh who is friendly and polite with people and other horses and is green-broke to ride. Is there anyone out there willing to give her a chance? Adoption fee is $500 with a two-week trial period.
