RIP Onyx

By

We have the very sad news to report that we had to make the very difficult decision to euthanize Onyx. For those who may not remember, we took in this poor girl last year as she was literally dying from her lack of care. Her owner continued to ride her even when she had abscesses, excessive ringbone and sidebone. He refused to have her feet done, even when a farrier offer to trim her feet for free. Onyx obviously suffered from Cushings disease, but he refused to treat her medically, and … [Read more...]

San Juan Capistrano, CA: 22 y/o QH Mare Needs Home

We received a call last week asking for help placing a 22 year-old Quarter horse mare named Squeeze. Her owner is older and fractured her shoulder, and is also going through some personal issues that make it difficult for her to get Squeeze out and ride her.  Squeeze was used primarily as a trail horse, and is rideable for an intermediate rider. Squeeze's full registered name is Col. Main Squeeze (Sire Col. Freckles/Dam Zippa Lena). She was foaled May 11, 1997. She is chestnut/sorrel and is … [Read more...]

Trabuco Canyon, CA: 7 y/o Quarter Horse Needs Home

We were contacted last week about a horse who needs a home. Remi is a 7 y/o Quarter horse who has been diagnosed with a bone chip and contusion in one of his legs. He needs several months, up to a year, before he will be sound and rideable again. His owner does not have the ability to care for him during that time. Remi does not have an adoption fee, but will need someone who is willing to take the time to rehabilitate him. We are hoping that someone might have a pasture or backyard available … [Read more...]

Cody Has A New Home!

A few weeks ago we posted about Cody, a Missouri Foxtrotter whose owner no longer had much time for him. We are happy to say that Cody has a wonderful new home! We had several people interested in adopting Cody, and we had a few people come out to ride him to see if he would be a good fit for … [Read More...]
