Rescue Horses Needing Help

APHA reg. filly,15 hands,just turned 5 and ready to be started. Sorrel/white tobiano.Has been raised in a herd and allowed to mature slowly,yet was handled extensively. She thrives on attention and is now physically and mentally ready for anything somebody wants to train her for. Will only consider a home where she will stay barefoot and be kept natural. 24 hour stall confinement is out of the question. Asking $1800....right home is more important than price.
Located in south central Ky. Please contact :willowhills @ peoplepc.com for more info. (06/05/09


Stately is a registered 10 year old 17.3 hand flashy black with three white socks Hanoverian. I have rehabilitated him from terrible shoeing and traditional Veterinary care. He was a successful amateur owner hunter in Wellington, Florida. He has been with me for a little over one year and has been doing great, barefoot, sound, turned out 24/7 with access to an open stall. He's been out with a herd and cared for completely holistically. I am a completely holistic Veterinarian and Stately gets occasional acupuncture, regular monthly orthobionomy treatrments, and I have given him homeopathic medicines. I have all my horses treated with orthobionomy by choice, not because they need it to be sound.

Stately is a get-you-noticed large body type, by the stallion Espris. He is very fancy, quiet, has been trail ridden, taken to a few dressage shows to walk around not show. He was great at the shows. I was prepared to show him in training level January 2009 until I got injured and unable to ride. He is currently being ridden by a friend of mine and is coming back into condition. He has his hunter changes, and uncomplicated to ride. He is black with three white socks. Stately is athletic and should do very well moving up the levels in dressage.

I want a holistic home for him where he can continue enjoying being a horse, he needs to stay barefoot with balanced trim. Preference given to totally holistic home. I prefer he go to a dressage home versus jumping. I feed Vitaroyal feed and timothy alfalfa or timothy hay.

I am asking 22,500 and his price increase with training in dressage and showing.

If you want to get noticed on this big beautiful, in your pocket personality boy, please call me for more information at: 727-501-2984. I am located in Brooksville, Florida. My name is Robin. (06/02/09)

For Sale: Tupelo Honey. 4 year old, 15 hands and growing, Andalusian Arab cross, double registered 1/2 Andalusian 1/2 Arab.This picture does not do him justice, he is heart-stoppingly beautiful!

I've also done quite a bit of Clinton Anderson ground work with him, he loves it! He's also been on a few trail rides, normally I take him out solo, and he LOVES it! He is good with clippers, trailers, feet handling, vets, ect. I have trailered him out a few times to get him ready for his first horse shows this summer, and he handles it beautifully.
