Many Available Horses at Saddlebred Rescue

[MokeyBird]

There are currently over thirty horses in desparate need of adopters, foster homes, sponsors and donations. There are many ways to help these horses if you are not capable of adopting. Please email me if you would like to help: asbdream@yahoo.com

Everyone who is looking for a good horse, should look through the Horses at Saddlebred Rescue. Many are broke to ride, and some also to drive.

I will even be willing to help you find a boarding barn. Just email me your location, and I will help you.

Adoption fees are very reasonable.

There are so many that I would take home in a heartbeat, if we had an extra stall. Hopefully, sometime this year we will be able to take on a foster and maybe even adopt.

http://forum.saddlebredrescue.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1334

Elaine (Jerry's Friend) 12.10.07 - Elaine is 12ish 15.3 hands and is a nice typey mare. This mare lunged well, easy to deal with on the ground, not on the road long as her legs are clean, went right to the rail, knew the routine, needed w start for the canter, and hope we can find papers as she'd do well at small shows. http://forum.saddlebredrescue.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1370

Hagrid, A Big Good Soul 12.10.07 Doug started to learn how to post on Hagrid and as Doug got better Hagrid got fatter and now he steps right up. Hagrid likes to work and he loves people. This horse is just about bomb proof but he is not lazy. Hagrid trots but today he did do a little gait of some kind. As this gelding has gotten fatter and healthier he as even been more willing to canter.
http://forum.saddlebredrescue.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1369

Jerry Seinfeld 12.10.07 - He is about 16 hands no white whats so ever and is around 15ish years old. Very easy to do all the ground stuff with and was easy to tack. Jessie had no problems getting on and he stood still at the mounting block, but he did trot off, no buck just go forward. This horse is quite the sport and he did do all three gaits. Seinfeld knew what a canter cue was and he did canter really well only playing around a little bit. I do not think this horse is a beginner horse as he does have a bigger motor. I think he would make a good practice horse, or a horse for better riders.

Dori 12.10.07 -- Our favorite! 5 years old, 15.3, Mare with recent training and in excellent shape, good sport horse or dressage prospect, LOVES people, very quick to learn, deer fine.
Dori, who was ridden this week by a very experienced hunt seat person who was able to transform Dori into a sharp hunter/dressage prospect. Dori responded easily to her rider's requests, rounded out, and in twenty minutes became a horse you'll be sorry you missed. The rider doesn't have an indoor arena which is the only reason she wasn't loaded on the trailer.

[Jennicat]

Every horse rescue I know of this year is overflowing. Because of the droughts and hay issues, there have been a record number of cruelty cases and impoundments. :(

[MokeyBird]

Yes, the horse market is CRAP anymore. One of the major causes is the closing of the slaughter houses that processed horses in the US. Sad, but true.

There are many reports of horses taken to the general run of the mill stockyards auction, and when they are not sold, they are abandoned.

The pony Burby at SBR, someone actually put him on thier trailer when no one was around. They went to go get thier trailer and saw this "Hairy Thing" in thier trailer.

A lot of these horses at the Saddlebred Rescue actually come from the Amish. Not all, but most. The Amish buggy horses are predominantly Saddlebreds and Standardbreds.

Luckily Saddlebreds have a very distinctive look, which makes it easier to pick out amongst the masses(and to a trained eye, some can actually find thier true identities just by look). The brokers will actually hold back the Saddlebreds that they buy for the SBR folks to come look at and take(they haven't turned down one yet).

[bruises]

I wish there was something I could do to help, but we're all full here. ): I'll try and spread the word at least, and such. Burby is absolutely adorable tho.

[MokeyBird]

Oh, Burby just has the kindest eye. Look at that sweet little face as they are de-burring him. He's a nice old guy.

Bruises, if you are interested, we are in the final stages of creating a notebook of all the horses available. If you would be interested in compiling one and taking it to any horse function you happen to go to, we think it would help a lot. I am waiting anxiously for them to be finished, because I am really excited about them.

[bruises]

That sounds like a real good idea. :3 Dunno if I'll be going to any horse functions any time soon tho, but good luck with getting them done and handed out.

[MokeyBird]

Thank you so much. They are such a simple, cheap and easy concept that I am hoping will do the trick.
