Fundraising - Tack Sales, Horse Blankets and Whatnot.

Most of the money that runs HART Rescue is raised by selling horse tack and other animal related products.  Most of the tack is purchased used from other horse people but we also take donations from our generous followers of course all donations are completely tack deductible!!!  Please contact me if you have any tack you would like to sell, trade or donate to HART Rescue.  Don't be shy, we take everything regardless of condition, if we can't clean up or fix the item for resale we can salvage parts especially from horse blankets.

I get such a large amount of tack coming and going that it is too time consuming to keep a list here on the website so please email or call me to find out what we have in stock.  There is always a very large selection of all kinds of horse tack.  Everything is clean, in good repair and ready to put on the horse.

We get a large booth at the Canby Tack Sale two times a year so make sure to come and visit us in the Ely Arena at the same end as the food vendor and restrooms.

There is always a pile of tack here that is needing cleaned, sorted and priced and of course many MANY horse blankets that need to be scraped out so if you would like to volunteer an hour or so let me know and we can set up a time.

Mom and Baby

Mom and Baby

Mom is a little more refined than the other two black minis, of course since there was an adorable baby in the stall with her to capture all of my attention I didn't get very good photograph of her, sorry about that!  Anyway, Mom is very friendly and gentle, she will make a nice mini for anyone.  Baby is VERY SHY and had very little handling before arriving at HART.  Fortunately, this adorable duo is currently in foster care with a wonderful family that is teaching baby the essentials to be a good little horse.



Little Red One

Little Red One

Yeah I know, I'm terrible at coming up with creative names, with time I'm sure I'll come up with something better.  Red is VERY SHY and needs a lot of one on one attention.  She is sweet and willing so I'm sure it wouldn't take much to bring her around.  Yes, I know she is dirty, I took this photo before she received her "welcome to HART" brushing.

Huggy Bear

Little Black Pony with Locking Stifel

Little black pony with clubbed foot.  This sweet little FURBALL is a kind, gentle gal.  She has a clubbed foot that needs extra trimming to keep in check and severe locking stifles so if she runs around too much she will drag her hind leg for a little while.  This is not a painful condition and does not in any way inhibit her quality of life.



Lilapp (pronounced Lap)

Lilapp (pronounced Lap) was a stallion upon arrival at HART Rescue but we all know how I feel about stallions in my barn!  He has already been castrated and is recovering quite well.  Lilapp was very shy when he got here, would strongly avoid contact and shake with fear when caught.  I have been spending a lot of one on one time with the little bugger and he is warming up to people very quickly.  My niece is had decided to make Lilapp her senior project.  I believe her goal is to train him for in hand trail, in hand jumping, showman and halter, he will then be a very nice, adoptable little guy.

Emma

Emma is a special needs little girl as she has a bad back and locking stifles.  She is absolutely BEST FRIENDS with Pokey and would realy rather stay with him forever.

Rambo

Rambo is an adorable little buckskin mare, they  a is very typey and correct little mini, she is friendly and gentle.

Nemo

This little gelding needs a loving home with someone that can maintain his manners, he tends to forget that horse teeth should not be applied to people arms and legs. If you are consistent with him, he is fine.

Nemo loves to run and play with the dogs and likes to push the other mares around a bit.  

Ranger - Adopted!

Ranger was found wandering loose outside of Yamhill along with his pal Red. After a month of searching for their owners it is assumed they were taken up there and dumped.

This guy has a petite build, I'm guess he is a quarter horse/arab mix maybe and about 14.2 hands. He bosses the other horse around at feeding time but since they have been here with regular feedings for three weeks that has subsided quite a bit.

Ranger is broke to ride but barely, he is quiet and gentle and easy to get along with.

Red




Red was found running loose outside of Yamhill with his pal Ranger. We tried for over a month to locate their owners and have come to the conclusion that they were taken up there and dumped.

This is a nice tall horse 15.2 hands, his head and croup shape hint around that he might have some pleasure type breeding in him some are suggesting Tennesse walker. He always carries his tail up and off to the side, the vet found that his tail has been broken but is is healed and not causing him any pain. He is a sweet, friendly horse and gets pushed around a bit by Ranger. He cribbed when he was in the arena but since I have moved him into an outside pen I have not seen him crib.

Red stood quietly to have his feed trimmed and be saddled. Once I got up on him it became very obvious that the horse is not broke to ride! He was very gentle and quiet while I worked with him a bit, he is still pretty thin so I didn't want to stay on any longer then to just see what all he had as far as training.

Two Horses Found Loose off Turner Creek Road

These two horses were found wandering loose 3 weeks ago outside of Yamhill, Oregon above Pike Road. They are both pretty thin and have long feet but appear to be otherwise healthy and gentle. After the Oregon Statute required 4 week period they will be available for adoption.

I am guessing that they are both broke to ride as they both have white hair scars from poor fitting saddles and cinch galls. Before they are adopted I will of course check them both out in the arena and out on the trail so I can give some sort of idea as to their training.

This is a nice tall horse I'm guessing 15.2 hands, his head and croup shape hint around that he might have some pleasure type breeding in him. He always carries his tail up and off to the side so before adoption he will be check out by the vet to make sure he doesn't have a back or hip injury that will prevent him from being sound. He is a sweet, friendly horse and gets pushed around a bit by the bay. He cribbed when he was in the arena but since I have moved him into an outside pen I have not seen him crib.

Headstall with Silver

This headstall has a LOT of silver looking decorations on it. It is NOT real silver and I don’t even think it is silver plate. I would consider this to be a very beginning headstall for someone trying to show on the open/schooling circuit on a budget. I shined it up a bit by rubbing it with a fine steel wool and it looks pretty good. There is a nice gold overlay pattern on the silver and the leather is in good repair, but it is a bit dry. I oiled it some but I think it needs another good oiling. $15.00

15" Barrel Saddle by Saddle King

This is a nice little barrel racing style saddle hand crafted by Saddle King of Texas, it has a 15” sued seat and a 7” (full quarter horse) gullet. The tooling is a combination of basket weave and floral. This saddle has a nice deep seat and a higher back to help keep the ride secure in the saddle and a raised horn for grabbing. This saddle is an older Saddle King model so I think it’s a little better quality then the new mass produced ones of today. $300.00
