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.
