Rescue Horses Needing Help

Just like the name says. This category is the only one also open to currently shod horses (who will be in need of shoe removal and serious footcare). Before you undertake the care of a rescue horse, make certain that you have expert veterinary and hoofcare help available.

Lone Star Equine Rescue, Texas
Lone Star Equine Rescue has many horses available for adoption. For more information, go to www.lser.org

Barefoot Horses for Sale

Barefoot horses only! This listing is for "healthy" horses that are already barefoot, but may be in any stage of barefootedness--from newly de-shod, to never-worn-shoes. These horses may need some transition time, but overall are expected to be sound, potential athletes.

WARNING! Beward of horse-purchase scams. Sellers are being contacted by long distance buyers (usually from foreign countries), and offered cashier's checks for as much as double the purchase price - then asked to refund the difference. The checks are fake, and are rejected by the bank. DO NOT sell your horse to someone, until you have investigated them thoroughly, preferably in person. And for goodness sakes, do not release a horse or other item into someone else's custody until the check has cleared!


E.V. Georgie is a 16 year-young hispanoárabe.  Since going Barefoot over 2 years ago, Georgie has completed at entry level endurance and won Best Condition.  He also easily jumps over 1 meter and rides bitless.  Suitable for an adult or competent child looking to compete in jumping and/or low level endurance or would make a great family horse.  Georgie has no vices, will go out alone or with others, completely bombproof in traffic and has all the correct groundwork for a trail horse (stands for gates, walks behind or in front along ravines).  A very handsome boy with the sweetest nature at 15.2hh (155cm) he has a lot of presence and carries himself like a much bigger horse.  Only 1400 € is a snap.  Situated in Málaga, Spain.  When Georgie arrived he had huge problems with his croup and shoulders due to badly fitting tack, very contracted heels, and a whole lot of iron in his mouth that he didn´t need.  We were told ´not for children, not for trail´. Within two weeks the kids were riding him bareback and out on the trail on their own!  The rest, as they say, is history. Espiritu del Viento <info @ espiritu-del-viento.com> (12/28/11)


A TRULY SPECIAL HORSE. 7 year old, 16 hand (barefoot!) Arabian Gelding. Salaam is a perfect age and has had great experiences. He is a National Caliber show horse and has championship records in Dressage, Sporthorse and Endurance....all barefoot. He has EXCELLENT feet, symmetrical and hard. Lots of training and lots of trail experience. Will cross water, bogs & logs! No vices. Does everything well. Salaam would be a superb youth or amateur horse. He has even worked cows. His best feature is his disposition. He is sweet, calm and a true gentleman. No big spooks, no jigging, no bolting. We have put beginners on him for trail rides.

Orion's Joker is an absolutely gorgeous tri-color spotted gelding. Registered with ISHR. 3 yrs old. 14.3 and still growing of course. Adorable loving personality. UTD on all worming, coggins, health papers, shots, vaccines, etc. Has been well cared for and not mistreated or rough handled in the least. Only thing that I wish was different about him is he is not gaited, and that is why I have decided to sell him. Otherwise no bad or annoying habits, excepts nods his head at times shaking the reins when riding. Great horse, just somewhat still on the young side. Doesn't get hyper or excited. Likes to amble down the trail quietly. Beautiful flowing gaits! Easy to sit slow jog trot, and wonderfully nice extended trot. Lopes. Would make an excellent English type hunter / jumper. I have only ridden Western saddle with him. I have trail ridden him a lot for his age and done a lot of ground work. He is light and responsive. Rides bitless, and neck reins great for his age. Rides out by himself. Excellent on trails. He handles the rougher stuff with easy and style. Used to dogs on hocks, ATVs, tractors, cars, hunters, turkey and deer, etc. Careful and observant, but not spookish. Hard hooves that have not needed shoes for any of the rocky trails I have had him on, but has had shoes on in the past. No tender, ouchy steps. Nice concave soles. I don't even think about his feet as we trot over rocky ground. Good with grooming, tacking, handling feet, etc. Very patient. Calm, safe, gentle, but not a kid's or timid beginner's horse, due to his age. Many videos, and many more photos: http://photobucket.com/orionsjoker

Mi' Amigo is almost 11 year old, Palomino Gelding, is APHA registered. He also can be registered as Quarter Horse and Palomino. He stands about 15.2 hh, blaze on face and 4 white socks.  Amigo's registered name is Golds Royal Mach One, is out of Impressivistic, and is double HYPP negative.
He has been barefoot for just over a year. Very sweet personality and temperment. He loads (altho it makes him nervous, he quivers) trailers just fine, I have done it many times. He is easy to lead, trim, bathe and a great ride. I have only owned him a year, I bought him thinking my daughter would like him, but she is busy and has little time to ride anymore. His Coggins test will be up in April, had one last year because the girl I bought him from (out of state) had him advertised but didn't get the Coggins test done on him (got him from out of state). I also had his APHA papers brought up to date, all shots, and trimmed every 4 weeks. He will be due for his shots again next month. Only reason I am even considering of finding him "his forever home" is I have a 9 yr old. Arabian who needs lots of riding put on him, I can't ride two horses, am 69 yr old and retired, and the expense of hay for two horses. I also want to see him go to someone who will love him, be good and kind to him, give him the attention and riding he deserves. Otherwise I would not even consider selling him.
Amigo needs to be rode more, he does fine on the road, and has been in a Parade (not by me). Mostly used for trail riding. I have also used the latigo laced soft hackamore and he did just great. Usually ride him with a snaffle bit w/small shanks. This guy is such a sweetheart. I will not let him go to anyone other than a barefoot, forever home and I must be convinced that this is just what he is getting.
I am asking $1500 for him. I also have a new fly sheet outfit for him, but he can't use it in the sun, he sweats to much.
You can call me at: 812-876-7974 or email me at: bandit06 @ bluemarble.net  in Indiana.
Serious inquiries only, please. (March 18, 2011)
