Dream Horse



smokey
Smokey was rescued along with his mother Dottie, Smokey was just a couple of weeks old when he arrived and due to his mother's debilitated condition, he was suffering from malnourishment which made his immune system weak.



At the time of his arrival, Buster was very nervous and kicked out frequently when startled. He is underweight and has a few areas of rain rot. Buster has some problems with weak stifles (rear knees) and dislocated his left stifle shortly after his arrival here. The vet came and examined him. She said that typically the horse will pop the joint back into place on their own, however Buster's muscles and tendons surrounding the joint appeared to be damaged and may require surgery.



doc
Doc arrived at the rescue as an owner surrender. His previous owner could no longer provide a home for Doc and wanted to be sure he found a safe, loving home. Doc is a beautiful palomino gelding. He is approximately 8 years old with no physical limitations, however he has not been broke to ride.




fast and fatal "Mama"
Fast and Fatal's owner brought her to the rescue so that she would not face the risk of slaughter. She was born April 9, 1988 and was lightly raced as a 2 and 3 year old. She had a fairly successful racing career - winning 3 races as a 2 year old - and she has been a broodmare since 1994. Although she was bred earlier this year, she has come up open and was heading for the auction this fall. Due to her age and not being in foal, she would have likely brought a very low price at the auction, putting her at high risk of purchase by a killer buyer for the slaughterhouse. Fortunately, her owner chose to bring her to our rescue instead. She is a very sweet mare, in good condition for her age. She is a special girl and deserves a special home for her retirement.



molly
Molly came to the rescue as an owner surrender. Her previous owner had purchased her to get her out of a bad, neglectful and overcrowded situation. Molly had not been handled and is very afraid of human contact. Due to health issues, her previous owner was not physically able to work with Molly to get her gentled and brought her to the rescue to find her a good home rather than risking her ending up in another bad situation. Molly is looking for a special home with lots of patience and understanding as well as experience handling a young horse. Molly has no physical limitations and with the proper care and handling, we feel confident she will learn to trust and blossom into a sweet and beautiful young horse.


HoBo (aka Face A Prince)
At some point during this time, he was pastured with some broodmares and unfortunately, they ran him through a barbed wire fence. He arrived at the rescue lame with an infected pastern on his left front due to a bone deep, jagged laceration where the barb wire had wrapped around his hoof. His previous owner didn't have the facilities to treat and dress the wound properly and relinquished him to the rescue.



Chance
Chance was approximately 6 months old when he arrived at the rescue.Chance is crippled and walks with a very obvious limp. He is very attached to Effie, a neglected Quarter Horse mare that arrived at the rescue at the same time as Chance. Effie was separated from her own foal at the auction, and Chance's trip to the auction was also his abrupt weaning so the two have bonded and adopted each other. Our vet examined Chance upon his arrival and feels that his injury occurred when he was very young. It appears that his hip and/or leg was broken but has completely healed, although crookedly.



whiskey
Whiskey arrived at the rescue as an owner surrender. Due to his advancing age and his cribbing habit, Whiskey is a "hard keeper" which means he has difficulty maintaining a healthy weight and he requires a special diet. Whiskey is settling in well and seems to enjoy his large pasture.


Frank "Silver"
Silver came to the rescue limping with a badly swollen hock. We took him to our vet for x-rays which revealed calcium deposits in the upper portion of the hock joint. Also, a large "chunk" of calcium had broken loose and was floating outside the joint. The vet advised that the calcium that had broken loose would eventually be absorbed or converted to scar tissue. Surgery was an option, however the vet felt that the very slim chance of a successful outcome allowing Silver to be sound for riding did not justify the possible complications and invasiveness of the surgery. Silver is pasture sound and with rest and relaxation the vet advised that due to his size and otherwise overall good condition, he might eventually be sound for very light riding by a small rider at a walk - absolutely no trotting or loping. Silver also has a front foot that turns slightly inward. This condition has caused a windpuff on his ankle, however it does not appear to bother him at this time. Once Silver has had a couple of months to rest and relax, we will re-evaluate his condition and he will be available for adoption as a companion horse only or with light riding limitations, depending on his condition.


Effie
Effie arrived at the rescue as a result of one of our volunteers purchasing her from the auction to stop her from going to slaughter. She is registered with the American Quarter Horse Association as well as being registered as an Oklahoma bred Broodmare for racing. Her AQHA registered name is "Full Figured". She was skinny and malnourished and her foal was separated from her and sold at the same auction. She had an area of proud flesh on her left foreleg that would not heal and she had an episode of colic shortly after her arrival. Effie is very quiet and gentle. We have put her on a diet of Purina Equine Senior feed and she is beginning to show improvement.


rowdy
Rowdy arrived at Rescue with his mother, Scarlett. bought from a crowded auction.


scarlett, mother of rowdy
Scarlett has some large scars from several old injuries, however she is otherwise healthy and appears sound. She is friendly and gentle and did not object to a halter although she seemed a little rusty on her leading skills

Faith
Faith arrived at the rescue very underweight, wormy and sick. Her thick winter coat was coarse and unhealthy and hides the extent of her condition.


hope
Hope came to us at approximately 6 month old . She arrived at the rescue underweight and very weak. When she arrived, she fell down after being unloaded off the trailer and was unable to muster the strength to get up. She simply laid still for several minutes on the ground and then finally, with great effort, stood up and we were able to get her into the corral

Barn Dogs:
Molly


Molly is a four year old tri-colored Corgi who has taken on the leadership role at the barn. Molly arrives at the farm every morning with Candace and promptly begins her job...running in narotic circles making sure everything is in order. She makes her rounds out in the field, stopping at each horse, making sure nothing is amiss. If the horses are in their stalls, Molly makes continual never-ending rounds from stall to stall...she is resilent when it comes to keeping an eye on the horses. If she thinks something is wrong, she sticks with them and "sounds the alarm", barking till someone comes over to her. She is quite a character with an abundance of personality.


Riley


Riley is a eight year old huge Rotteweiler who is just a big love bug. He acts as the "pretend" guard dog...at first glance, he looks like a big tough dog. Then you meet him and realize the barn cats are more aggressive than he is! Riley quietly watches over all the activites that go on at the farm from a couple of his favorite look outs...Guinness'stall, the tackroom, and the little cement slab. Everyone that meets Riley, falls in love with Riley. He truly is just an over-grown teddy bear. Riley is content to just relax and take everything in, but if something is up, he's not afraid to step in for us. He's a good boy to have around...and a great dog to snuggle with!

Teflon


Teflon is a Fila Mastiff who Candace got as a tiny puppy. Teffy is no longer a puppy...he is now a two and a half old and weighs over 1100lbs! Teflon is a very fun loving dog who is always up for running, playing, and goofing around...he is quite the character. Teffy is definitely a Fila though, and is very wary of stranger. He has "his people" and that's it! If your not in his circle, he is does not want to be bothered with. Even though Teffy is so big, he still believes himself to be a lap dog! Goofy guy!
