Horses Wanted

BONNIE,

IS A GREAT ANIMAL LOVER AND ADVOCATE. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT SOME LUCKY PONY WOULD HAVE A LOVING FOREVER HOME IN JERSEY.

CJ 

Finally after year of owning horses (none suitable for kids lessons) my 7 yr old daughter is interested in riding ! 

After watching a friends granddaughter show at the fair my daughter decided horses are fun.  

She rode by herself for the 1st time yesterday (needs to wear her helmet & lessons to lay off her mouth) but she got the confidence to ride bareback & on her own.    Lollipop (her mount) who is missing one eye is a wise old gal who only plow reins ALSO has a "mean buck" if you ask her to do more than a walk so we will be looking for something else for her to take lessons on.   Keep us in mind if you come across a cheap kid safe large pony.   Can offer a life time private home to the right pony !

I was contacted today by a gentleman who has a 6 stall barn, 5 stalls empty,
and would like to see if anyone involved in rescue has 2 horses. He is
looking for a trail horse, and his wife is looking for something she can get
trained to show and jump. His email address is sandimansanders@gmail.com (sandimansanders @ gmail.com).

Hi. I seen your web page on the Internet today. and looked though some of the horses and read your story about your horses.

      I live in  Guernsey Wy. and am  36 years old.  I have always wanted a horse.  a big dream of mine. I keep reading about horses with out homes. being turned loose . I wish I new some one by me that may not want there horse. I could give it a good home.

   we live on 100 acers . my in laws own the land.  my house is on 10 acers of that land.

  we have a small herd of cows. first one was given to my father in law. I made a pet out of her.my husband and I own the bull  .my in laws have too vary old horses that are not rode any more. one is over 30 years old.

    I don't know the breed I want.  I have been around qhorses all my live.  but would love Arab, appy  , mustang.  most any breed.  hope for one 4 years old or a Little older. but not a Yong colt. one that could be ridden. I love to ride. I would us a horse to look after the cows. or just to ride for the fun of it.  I ride western  and bareback. love bareback.

     I spend my time  raising my birds. chickens geese and others.  cats and my dog. and painting.   water color   and     model  horses.   I make mini  model horse tack too.

    if you could help me make my dream come  true, that would be supper.

Therapeutic program looking for gelding

Hi All,
We are still searching for a horse for our program. We need something
that can WTC, is about 15.2 or 3, sound mind. Geldings are best but I
would never pass up a good mare. It is ok if they need some finishing
work, but can not be spooky.
Please contact me at kathleen@angelsdancingwithhorses.org (Kathleen @ angelsdancingwithhorses.org)
or 207-626-7646
I have looked at what you have and there is one mare that might work,
but i have had no response so maybe she would not be suitable.
Kathleen

The School that my sister will be taking her daughter to equine therapy classes is looking for a horse for their program.

They are located near Russellville, Arkansas and I asked her a few questions to try to find out more about the program.  Here is what they are looking for:

1) The place is called the Equestrian Zone.
2) I am not sure who the owner is but the contact I have, one of Lyndsay's therapists, would be Karen Duvall 479-970-6536. She will be able to get them to the right person. She had mentioned it the other day when we were trying to schedule therapy around my college class schedule.
3) I am pretty sure it is within the city limits of Russellville but that would need to be verified. It is in Pope County though.
4) Yes- it is a non-profit organization.
5) I am not sure of this but if they don't want to keep it after it can no longer do therapy then I am sure that they would be willing to donate it back.
6) I don't believe that there is an age preference.
7) Mare or gelding would probably be fine but that is another one that would need to be verified.
8) They prefer a TWH.
9) They do have a couple of horses already that are blind or partially blind. Minor injuries are fine but no major injuries that would create a financial hardship for care due to it being volunteer.

These are the questions she replied to:

Name of the therapy place?
Owner?
Location? I figured it was probably Russellville or somewhere close by.
Do you know if they are not for profit (a lot of people are more willing to donate if they are...plus if the horse has to be transported then they can also make that a tax deduction too.)
Will it be a lifetime home, or would they be willing to redonate it to a rescue when it is no longer able to be a therapy horse anymore?
Do they have an age preference?
Sex? (I am guessing they would prefer mare or gelding)
Does it have to be a TWH or can it be another gaited breed of horse? (Paso Finos ride a lot like TWH, but are usually a bit shorter...there are also gaited appaloosas, etc)
What kind of medical conditions are okay? (Some places don't mind blind or partially blind horses, some do...old healed injuries (like my gelding has an old tendon injury that only flares up if he is ridden hard (but he is spoiled so that never happens!))...

Original request:

If you know anyone that has a Tennessee Walker they would like to donate (even with minor medical problems), let me know. These horse tend to have a gait that works well with therapy. I thought if anyone might know of someone who can't take care of one anymore, it would be you.

Hi Everyone,
About a year ago I was on this board, and i was blessed with two great
horses.
A belgian cross and a TB.. Recently my TB has passed away..:(
My belgian was sooo in love with my TB that not having some sort of
friend is driving him nuts all day.
I am looking for a companion horse for him,(doesnt have to be a
horse/can be a pony) and something that once and a while the hubby can
hop on, and go on trails around my property, and of course
loved/spoiled by the two of us.
Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Hi Beth,
Could you ask around if anyone has a 13 hand or under pony that must be safe
for mentally challenged children to be lead around on. I could pay some
money or trade for a beautiful 14.3 hand child safe pony, which is too big
for these small children. I have a function on the 28th so I need to find a
pony before then. Pony would be well taken care of and I have excellent
references. Forever home too!
Thank you,

My mom was planning on buying a miniature horse that was being kept where we board our horses. We informed the person who owned the place that we wanted the mini, but I'm not sure he thought we were serious and took him to the auction instead. He would have been sold just yesterday. We really miss him and would like to have the chance to learn about where he's being kept so we could possibly buy him or just make sure he has a good home if the owner is unwilling to part with him.
He's a fairly young stud, a palomino to roanish color and no more than perhaps a year old. He was originally called Sunny, but has lately answered to PeeWee.
Please respond to this ad if you think you have found him or you know of someone who has.

Hi, Wanda! Congrats on the great work your doing
and thank you for
your interest.
Unfortunately, we re both too far from you and
also don't specialize
in minis, so there's little we could do to help.
HOWEVER, that said, we're quite connected internet
wise with rescues
throughout the country. if you would like, i can
post your emails to a
variety of groups and ask rescues to contact you
directly if they
could use your assistance.
We focus almost entirely on full size riding
horses that need rehab,
health issues resolved, retraining, and then move
them on to new homes
and new careers.
Wishing you all the best in your search!

cross-posted: Family looking for a pony

Posted by: "equihands" kate.richardson@gmail.com   equihands

Sat May 10, 2008 9:09 am (PDT)

Saw this on another board-anyone?

"I am looking for a pony for our family. My ideal pony would be
generally physically sound and an older "babysitter" type, able to
lead with a child aboard and be ridden by my daughter when she's old
enough and experienced enough to ride by herself. This pony must be
able to hold its own with other, larger horses (we have 2) and not be
afraid of or excessively aggressive towards dogs. We're not
necessarily planning to compete with this pony, but will likely do
short to medium length, easy trail rides eventually. If you're looking
for a retirement home for your barn's lesson pony, our family might be
a great solution. Our other 2 horses are "upgrades," so I wouldn't be
opposed to upgrading/rescuing a pony either. I'm not interested in an
auction pony necessarily, unless I know its general history (for
temperament purposes).
This pony would have a forever home with us. Our horses live on our
property and have access to 24-7 turnout in a beautiful paddock and
pasture, although we also have a barn with stalls. We have no climb
fence and electric rope/tape - no barbed wire! Our horses are well
cared for and get regular vet/dentist/farrier care as needed.
References available.
If you have such a pony or know of one needing an upgrade/rescue,
please email me at k9riot@yahoo.com (k9riot @ yahoo.com) . I am willing to travel within
Connecticut and to neighboring New England states to
see/purchase/adopt the right pony. I'm in no hurry, and I will update
this thread if/when I find the right pony."

Mass: horse wanted for accomplished adult rider, price range 'open to discussion'

This family was interested in a horse in our care. He's not what they need, and I don't have anything that is. So, I got her permission to share this information with these lists, to see if someone has a horse that's a good fit for what she needs. She WANTS to work with a rescue as her first choice, before doing an online purchase from an individual with her last choice being a typical 'trader'.  here are her answers to my questions. Please contact her directly. I  have no further info whatsoever except to say my 18yo 17hh thoroughbred gelding HATES trails so he wasn't a fit for her needs.

=========

We are in Whitinsville, Massachusetts, south of Worcester, (Central

 Mass.)

We are bringing my other horse home as soon as we get our Amish barn (in about six weeks we hope!); we are currently boarding.

The barn has stall openings to their paddock. They will decide when to go in or out, the only exception being I would close them in at night.

I am comfortable with the new horse coming from another area, we'll work out transport.  I'd just want a vet health check, history if possible.

Breeds! I'm not fussy about a specific breed at all. I have had crosses, Welsh/Hackney; Arab/Standardbred.  The Welsh cross was the most dependable:)

My present horse is a Morgan - Spirited but smarter than anything and a joy.

I love Gypsy Vanners and Irish warm bloods.  Also draft cross if they're not too huge. Of course, Friesians are wonderful. I tend to think Thoroughbreds too headstrong.  They should have reasonably calm personalities overall.  I like some spirit but nothing hard-mouthed or pushy. A basically sweet

personality.

The horse will be doing little to no showing. (I might try some localeventing, but I can do that with my present horse.)

Spook-proof would be great.

The trail riding is basically flat ground, a little rocky and through forests, no mountain climbing - there might be a few very low jumps. Sure footed preferable, but heroic not needed.

They should be 15 hands plus, preferably around 16, no more than 17 for me! Basically any horse that could carry a 6'2", 220 lb. man would be good - that's my son.  Mostly it will be me riding but in the summer it may be him or his brother, both about the same size.

I used to be a great rider; I am being re-taught.  My sons have not ridden much in recent years so a novice to intermediate level horse is good.  We definitely should not have anything hot.

Budget is limited.  Safest to say, 'open to discussion.'

Age is not crucial.  Reasonably mature, no yearlings or over 20's, gelding preferred but will consider mare.

No major health issues.  We will really want to enjoy moving around together. Mild arthritis not a problem; they won't be asked to ride all day.

But please - no major joint, leg, stomach, hoof or blindness issues. We prefer easy shoeing to no shoeing. (My present horse is bare foot.)

Ideal horse: a real partner. I saw a black horse at a show out west.  She and her rider carried the flag around at a canter before the show and then stood still while someone sang "I'm proud to be an American."  Then

 They cantered out again - real partnership.  It's not important that the horse be black or like carrying flags; I want that type of partnership. At a Tellington touch seminar last summer, the Gypsy Vanner and Irish Cross

 Were such calm and wonderful personalities. They really partnered with us.

 Soft eyes, looking for our company, gentle in the paddock with our mare, kind to our small grand daughter holding out a carrot, tolerant of a whole family gathering round to pet and groom them. Happy on trails, not spooked by those birds or an occasional deer.  Up for an adventure or a day hanging out together.

Thank you!

Hello Brandi,
I just was wondering if you knew of a nice gelding, or mare, that is rideable that is for adoption or is being sold. I have a young girl I give lessons to looking for a nice horse that she can trail ride and possibly do a few local shows with. If you know of any please let me know, we'd really like to adopt.

Hi, I just found your site through a yahoo  draft horse rescue group.

My husband and I have 10 acres, goats, 6 dogs and 5 cats. We do have 2 children- but what the heck- they are grown and we are pretty much empty nesters. One still lives here but we don’t see him much. LOL!

We also have a wonderful horse named Dove who brings us much pleasure with her nuzzles and kisses. I was raised riding and showing, but for 25 yrs. have moved around and never had time or a place for a  horse.

So now approaching 50 we have a little farm and I wish to have have my dream of an English Shire to ride and my hubby says he will be happy with a big ole draft of any type to love, brush and take care of. We are able to take 2 horses. We do have a trailor and could travel to states around us or arrange transport from farther away. So could you please post that we are looking for a Shire and another draft.

Also, I noticed a post from a Equis rescue in middle TN and you said you didn’t know anything about them. Tressa is a legitimate rescue. I do not personally know her, but I live nearby and she was recommended to me by some friends. She does not usually rescue any drafts, but I know she does rescue and was actually putting out a call for horses on the goat group we belong to on Yahoo a few months back

Thanks so much, Kathy

Horses for Church Camp

21426.1

I wanted to post this here and am also posting it locally. Moses
Merrill Camp and Conference Center in Linwood, NE (where I happen to
work) is looking for well broke horses to keep year round. They want
7 horses in the program and we have possibly one already depending on
how she is under saddle on Sunday. In past years, they have rented
horses from a local guy, however he sold his horses sometime between
last September and this March. After discussing the issue, the camp
has decided to keep their own horses so that this does not become an
issue in the future and wants to do this with RESCUE horses. (This
is what comes of having the director of a rescue working there.) =)

Their plan is to have the horses available for the kids camps over
the summer and possibly for other events as well, but that is still
on the burner. Sometime during the camp, the kids would write to the
rescue where the horses came from telling the rescue what they
appreciated about the horse. This camp is part of the American
Baptist Churches of Nebraska. (I'm working on getting a wiki page set
up for them.)

So this said, I am currently scouting for rescue horses that are
sound and would be good around kids. I am also looking for tack
(preferrably western) for the 7 horses. Any help with this would be
greatly appreciated.

I can be reached at cpersing@heartlandhorserescue.com  (cpersing @ heartlandhorserescue.com)

Location:  Nebraska

Wanted:  A reasonably priced beginner's horse.  Needs to be good for a rider with confidence issues.  Larger than a pony (she has a mini now that she is just too big for).  Any color, any breed, and either mare or gelding.  Would like to use the horse for 4H, trail riding with her family and friends, and just to love on.

Experience:  Owns her mini now, has help from her parents who are experienced.  

Note from Brandi:  I have met this family and Taylor is an exceptional young lady.  She was with us at the auction where we purchased Cheyenne, Annie, and Sarah Beth.  She was the one who alerted us to Cheyenne's condition and asked us to help her.  Her mini is in excellent health and she adores her.  This will be a very loving and forever home.

Hi Beth,
I'm searching for either 2 small draft crosses or larger ponies for my
summer program in Bartlett. I don't want too much....right! Only that the
animals be gentle, ridable, safe to teach kids how to groom, lead, etc....I
can foster or adopt....if possible. Any idea where I can find such
creatures?
Thanks,
Laura Slitt

We are looking for a horse for my son to use for 4H and at Hartford
fair. He is looking into Western Pleasure. We cannot afford to board a
horse as we are already boarding 2 horses, our second horse is too
young for my son to ride until next year. We are however willing
workers. We would be able to come out 3-4 times a week to work with the
horse, and we would like to haul it to our 4H meetings, Hartford fair
and possibly to a couple of point shows. We are also needing this to be
in Newark/Heath/Granville area. Thanks for considering us.

Name: RT (Cheri White Owl) Horse Feathers Equine Rescue Inc.

Location:  Edmond, Oklahoma

Name:  Sandra

Location:  Virginia (near the VA/NC boarder)

Wanted:  2 Beginner or Intermediate safe horses.  Good family and kid

                safe horses a must.  We are a family of 6 looking for our first

                two horses.  The adults are intermediate riders still in lessons

                and the children are 15, 13, 12, and 11 are beginner riders

                still in lessons.  Need something close as we still do not have

                a trailer yet, unless you know where we can rent one.  Could

                pay reasonable transport fee.  Need horses big enough for a

                man 6’4” 225lbs to ride.  Horses would be used for trail

                riding, jumping in lessons, and pleasure riding.  Breed not

                important.  Free or low cost please.  Horses will be loved,

                spoiled, and very well taken care of.

Name:  Kathy

Location:  Albuquerque, NM

Wanted:  Our family is looking for a horse to adopt.  A horse that is

                smaller than 15hh, so that my daughter can feel safer,

                especially as she can grip better with her legs. We are

                learning to play polocrosse.   We would prefer a sub-dominant

                gelding that likes kids and athletics.  The horse would be

                boarded with our horse, spring/fall vaccinations, regular hoof

                care, worming quarterly, regular vet checks, polocrosse, trail

                riding and maybe riding in the mountains during elk hunts. 

                We don’t shoot off of our horses, but a no-spook kind of

                temperament would be best.
