Liberty

Liberty

Liberty

Liberty is a 24 year old paint mare who’s owner was in a desperate

financial situation. The owner of the boarding facility agreed to foster

her and she gets to stay with her friends and get all the love, attention and great care she’s had for many years. We agreed to take her, as she was no longer rideable due to navicular issues with her front feet. She needs special trimming and horse tennis shoes to keep her comfortable. Her monthly expenses are $450. She needs also needs a nice warm waterproof blanket in the winter. She is very sweet and she is one of the lucky ones who had a safety net.

Cowboy

Liberty

Liberty

Cowboy-  The approximately ten year old bay roan truly wild mustang. He was rounded up by helicopter on the plains of California with his whole family. The family was then separated; the Colts and Stallions were put into chutes and castrated. The rest of his family, were sadly, never again to be seen by this extremely gentle and petrified soul. After six months of being held at the BLM facility, he was “adopted” by a man who wanted to “break” him. He was then loaded up into a big trailer crowded with many other horses and driven to California to be part of a horse whisperer project. In the trailer he was kicked so badly his knee looked as if it were broken, as he could hardly walk on it. The order was to shoot him, as he was unusable. A dear friend of the sanctuary heard of this and drove directly to the ranch and picked him up. He is now part of the small herd at the sanctuary. His knee had healed but his deeply injured soul might never recover. We have made the decision to allow him to remain wild. He is fat, happy and feels at home in his special corral at night and then he is free to roam all day and choose which areas they will pick next to test the grass. Our hopes for him are to get him to a large wild horse sanctuary where we can fulfill our promise to him that someday, he will be wild again. Tammy has been working with him and has gotten him to trust her. She can halter him, lead him and pick up his feet. We are working on “pinching” his neck to prepare him for his Coggins test. We are very excited for him and his future. His monthly costs are $400.00.

Dimitri

Liberty

Dimitri

Dimitri- a 23-year-old beautiful Arabian, who is very well bred and was sold to a lady down the street from the sanctuary. After many years they lost interest in the horse and the horse was neglected. When they sold their house, he was in danger of ending up in the wrong hands and we agreed to take him. We have started Dimitri back under saddle and he is doing very well. He gets extremely fearful when he is out of his secure comfort area, but he is learning quickly to be calmer.

Dimitri’s monthly expenses are $400 and he is up for adoption.

Jordan

Dimitri

Jordan is a 11-year-old brown Thoroughbred gelding. He had raced in California, and owned by a movie star. We have no idea what happened to him after that time but last year, we pulled him out of a terrible situation where he had been starved and was also knee-deep in mud for a very long time. Jordan has special shoes and is on an anti-inflammatory medication to manage the pain in his legs.

Jordan’s expenses are $550 a month.

Calzada

Bailador

Calzada

Calzada is a 22 year old Thoroughbred mare who is just about one of the sweetest souls we have ever met. She was also owned by the same man who owned Bodie Girl, who sadly passed away.

Calzada is beautiful, smart, kind, sweet and willing to do just about

anything that is asked of her. She also had a racetrack injury and was

retired to become Bodies mother. We just can’t say enough about this

fabulous horse, she is a gem inside and out! Her monthly costs are $400 as she needs special supplements to keep her comfortable.

Bodie

Bailador

Calzada

Bodie Girl is a 12 year old Thoroughbred mare who was owned by a dear friend and supporter of the Sanctuary. He became very ill with Parkinson’s disease and passed away. He wanted to make sure his most

precious mares were safe and loved for the rest of their lives and left

them to us in his will.

Bodie had an impressive race track record but after an injury she was

retired. Bodie is a big girl with a big personality and we are finding her

soft spots and she is turning into a very nice girl. She is the daughter of

Calzada. Her monthly costs are $400

Bailador

Bailador

Bailador

Bailador is a happy and loving 20 year old horse. Due to a tendon injury, he has to retire. The owner no longer had funds to support his care. Sadly, the owner was seriously considering euthanasia, which was not an option for a happy, otherwise healthy horse. He is truly a gentle giant and as sweet as can

be! He requires the basic funding necessary to keep him healthy and happy. He is currently in a foster home. Please help continue his retirement and quality of life and donate to his care!

His monthly expenses are $550.00

Cheyenne

Cheyenne

Bailador

Cheyenne is a 5 year old Medicine Hat gelding who was bought by our great supporters and friends. He was advertised as a gentle and well-trained boy, but sadly that wasn’t the case, and they are elderly, so they asked us if we would take him. 

He had been trained with some

very harsh methods and he needed to be “reset” to realize that he had a voice and that everything that humans asked of him was going to be fun from now on. He is currently

partnering with our trainer Tammy and doing very well. His monthly costs are $400.

Lucky

Cheyenne

Lucky

 

Lucky is a 23 year old Paint gelding who found himself unwanted by his owners. Barely escaping euthanasia, he is here now safe and sound.  He is a very sweet boy, gentle, has the dreamiest blue eyes, is super kind and quite large. We are hoping he will be our next star of the education and Horse Angels programs. 

His monthly expenses are $375.

Louie & Baby

Louie & Baby

Louie & Baby

Louie is an adorable Shetland Pony gelding with a big personality. He is also very cute and sweet but has a mind of his own! Baby is a miniature Mule who is absolutely the most adorable and loving little girl ever! 

They are approximately 12 years old. Their owner couldn’t afford to keep them any longer, so we agreed to take them for our education and Horse Angels programs. We think they will be a wonderful addition and we are letting them get settled before introducing them to groups of kids. Their monthly costs are $175 each.

Stormi

Louie & Baby

Louie & Baby

Stormi is a 23 year old OTTB (off the track Thoroughbred) mare who was passed around from owner to owner for many years and bred

multiple times during those years. She ended up with an elderly man who worked at the stables where she was being boarded. He had health issues and dumped the horse on his 16 year old grandson who was struggling to pay for her. The kid called us and we agreed to take

her. She was very underweight and has an old tendon injury, which our Vet assures us it is not painful. She is currently in rehabilitation, getting some good weight back on, her feet back in good shape and lots of

love, as she is a very sweet and kind girl. Her monthly expenses are high as she’s on a high calorie diet,

supplements for her joints and feet as well as frequent trims for her feet. If you would like to sponsor her, her monthly costs are $400.00
