Mustangs Available for Adoption, In-House Adoptions & Sponsorship

We named her Star when she arrived here in Dec. 2002. She was brought here by kind adopters who could not keep her. Although she had only minimal handling she was trusting and in excellent shape. Her color is light Bay with a white star. She is approx 14.3-15 hands. She had been captured in the Calico Mountains Herd Management Area, near Gerlach, Nv. on Dec.18, 2000 at 2 years old. Now at 12 years she still has many years to give to a special person who can appreciate her kind, gentle nature. Are you her person?

I am also available as an "in-house" adoptee.

I am Sue, I am a 16 year old mare. My soft brown eyes are kind and gentle, although I am still a little distrustful. I am a beautiful liver chestnut with a flaxen tail and mane. I need a patient handler to bring me along. I can lift my feet for the blacksmith and tolerate saddling. If you choose me I will be a faithful friend and should do well at any discipline.

Abby Davenport is my "In House" Adopter for 2009 as I await my approved lifetime home.

Jazz is a handsome 9 year old gelding born in captivity. His sire being a mustang and his mother a POA, he definitely shows the best of both breeds. His winter coat is pure white with black mottling around his mouth and nose, but shedding out reveals large black spots on the skin surface of his chest and sides. Truly unique.

At 14 hands the mustang heritage reveals a stocky, solid body, strong durable legs, great hooves, a kind and curious eye and a real desire to please. He was ridden once, but needs a tune up and daily work. He will be our spring and summer project to further his training so he will be ready for his adopter to take over. Our goal is to have him in a deserving, forever home by Sept 2010. Please consider Jazz as your next horse. You will not be disappointed.

I am also available as an "in house" adoptee.

My previous home named me Maude. I am a big sturdy mare at 15h. I have been ridden western for most of my 21 years but still need to learn a lot about ground manners. I have plenty of energy and lots of good years ahead for a loving family. I prefer to be pastured alone. Please consider me.

Charlotte is what they call me. I am a big boned 15h bay mare. I came here at age 17 and had never been handled. In the past year I have learned to trust and love humans. I allow them to groom and lead me. I have been ridden and think I like it! I would be a worthwhile project for a kind and knowledgeable person.  Charlotte is now 21 years old.

Charlotte has been added to the Necker's growing list of "In House Adoptee's" She too, will benefit from their financial support, visits and bags of carrots.

They have also chosen DJ a 27 year old chestnut quarter horse
to be a permanent resident. Picture to soon follow.

Cassidy

Cassidy is available for adoption.

Lovingly In-House Adopted by Harris & Sharon Neckers, of New Jersey.

Cheyenne is our mystery lady. She came to us under emergency circumstances. Her owners needed to move quickly and could not take her. They did not give us any paper work and very little history of this proud and beautiful mare. We worked with her over months to earn her trust, and were finally able to brush her all over, pick up front feet and fly spray her. There are still moments of distrust and fear, but she is kind and of gentle nature.

Our goal is to earn her trust enough that we can shave her neck and identify her through her freeze brand. We estimate her to be somewhere between 8-13 yrs. Hopefully, we will unravel the mystery behind Cheyenne very soon. Her training will continue as we prepare her for a caring, forever home.

Mrs. Skummer's 5th grade class at Pope John XXXIII School has adopted her through the "In House Adoption Program" for 2010. This class raised over $1500.00 on her behalf.

Destiny arrived here Feb. 17, 2009 from a dealer in Maine. She was frightened and aggressive, but settled in well with the other horses. Her freeze brand revealed her history: foaled in 1998 in the Monte Cristo HMA. She was gathered as a yearling on 1-26-99 and adopted a few months later on 5-22-99. The next 10 years are lost to us . Only Destiny knows what her life was like. We only see her at present as fearful and distrusting, although there are moments of curiosity and a desire to be nearer to us. Occasionally we can brush her neck and shoulders. She needs a person of her own to bond with and gain confidence. We will continue to work with her until her special person comes along. Please call us if you are interested in Destiny.

Her "In House Adopter" is Elizabeth Hunter Engel's.

Arrived at rescue Nov. 21, 2008. She had been taken into custody by humane officials and at this time was unable to be haltered and led. The Government freeze brand revealed her history to the point of adoption in 2001. She had been captured as a 5 year old in 2000 in Sands Spring, Oregon and shipped to the Northeast to a satellite adoption. The following years are vague, but thanks to a young "In House" adopter her expenses are being met and we will continue with her gentling and training along with addressing her physical needs. Already we see a weight gain and a look of hope in her eyes. She has allowed us to pat her. Her coat has taken on a softness and sheen.

Phoenix is still waiting to be adopted into a permanent home but meanwhile she has been happily "Adopted In-House" by the Doran/Rayer Families.

Hopefully she will be ready for a "lifetime" home by years end. Follow her progress. Please contact us if you think you are interested in providing a permanent home for Pheonix.
