Subject: [americansaddlebred] Mo Sale Barn
There are over a dozen well bred papered ASB, Arab, and NSH going to the sale barn in Mexico MO on July 11th. With the economy, I am worried for their future, so I have asked my friend who is selling them to let me spread the word about them. If they are not sold prior, they WILL be going to the sale. Anything aged 2 and up has been started under saddle, many green broke with sensible personalities. Nice bloodlines, please consider if you like Bask/Raffles/Aladdin in Arabs! I can help with shipping if that is needed! Call Virginia to make an offer 573-356-0485 or get more information. Email asb5g@... (asb5g @ hotmail.com) for photos! Thanks, Jennifer

Lacy is a registered 1998 bay AQHA mare. My daughter rode her all through jr high and high school as a dressage horse. She only showed her a few times so she doesn't have a show history. She has been ridden on the trails but will only go out with other horses and is insecure. She requires a patient and confident rider as she is still very green in areas. She has not been ridden in a few years so she will need to be brought back into shape slowly. She's up to date on all her shots. Will need front shoes if being ridden a lot, as she can be tender footed.
I need to find a great home for her with a kind and loving family. If I don't find a home for her soon she will have to go into a shelter situation as I am having serious financial problems.
Pics of Lacy can be viewed at: http://www.jessicacotton.info/lacy.htm

Scout is a BLM burro jenny, came off the Nevada range in 2001, now 14 years old. She stands about 48" high and is gray. Scout will tie, stand for grooming, shots, fly spray and worming. She will allow us to pick up her feet, but we do tranquilize her for the farrier. Scout is trained to the electric fence, has been turned out with horses as well as another burro, and would make a great pet or guard animal. We're asking $250, but a great home is more important than the money. Up to date on everything, feet just done, just wormed, has all shots including rabies and west nile.

1.  important news: fosters, Chunky, and other news

Posted by: "May S." mayleen@...   funchy_crunchy

Wed May 20, 2009 11:06 am (PDT)
Times are difficult for all of us. I wouldn't ask for your help, if it
wasn't so important.
Last night, due to an unexpected emergency situation, the woman who was
going to keep Chunky ("Move those Chains"), could not keep him. I got the
notice yesterday afternoon, so I cancelled my other plans and by 6pm I
picked him up. I have to admit right now I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
A few months back, Maggie's foster had Equihab pick Maggie up with no
notice, so Maggie had nowhere else to go but here. I still am fostering
Gypsy, taken in when a nice local man lost his job and was about to lose his
home. This means I'm caring for 3 equihab horses plus the two
former-rescue horses of my own to care for. I love helping horses, but
Equihab can't succeed without YOUR help.
Equihab isn't just "me". Equihab is a community non-profit organization
which helps horse owners & horses in and around our local area. Equihab
relies on sponsors, foster home, adopters, and other supporters to
function.
The horses NEED YOU TODAY!
Fosters are needed to take on one horse for a few months. Who wouldn't want
a rideable horse to enjoy during this nice weather?
One or two responsible people are needed to organize Equihab events for
summer or fall. Without events we can't do education or fundraising.
A publicity volunteer is needed. We need help connecting homes with the
horses. I believe the right homes are out there for these horses -- we
just need to connect with those people.
Ongoing donations to offset the cost of caring for so many horses are also
needed. The horses need feed, spring shots, farrier, etc. Equihab's hay
supplier just informed us last night that we should expect the price of
round-bales to go up 10%+, starting with the first cutting.
Equihab would also love help with its web site, donated trims, donated vet
care, donated hay or supplies, etc.
A yard/tack sale was proposed to raise money, but we need a location & a few
helpers to hold it. Can you help?
A Board of Directors position is also vacant: looking for a responsible,
impartial adult who is able to give a few hours a month to Board meetings.
Contact us for more info.
Please contact me by phone, 443-466-4087, or by email, may@... (may @ equihab.com) if
you can be of any help. On behalf of the horses, thank you.
Sincerely,
May Snyder

1.  The NEER BIG Mr/MA can not stay at his 'forever' foster home any more... ):

17H, 2000 lbs, mostly dominant (even over mares) but has been getting along with donks and a couple of girlfriends of late.  He was used and abused by the Amish for years!  ):  20 something, but in great shape.  Likes nothing, but respects fencing.  NOT for a timid inexperienced person.  The BIG Mr knows that he is intimidating and uses it to his advantage, but he does have nice manners.  Drives, has the dents, scars and outfolded lips to prove it.  Did not like the whole 'riding' thing.  He would like a big field with a run in to stand in until his last breath.  Not bad with his feet, if you're feeding him, he is barefoot.  The BIG Mr is an easy keeper, needs to be on hay and/or hay stretcher ONLY, anything more gives him the trots (no pun). UTD/coggins, etc.

Presently in Groveland MA.

If you have the space and experience for a big standoffish draft, please let me know... fatoldfarmwife@... (fatoldfarmwife @ verizon.net)

No fee.

More info:

This boy is in need of a family. He is a big horse that thinks he is small. He has had a tough life and would prefer to be a baby sitter. He can be turned out with mares, donkeys, and doesn’t have any problems with dogs or cats. He is rather timid and needs to have owners who will care for him and not have caretakers.  He responds better to one or two handlers and not more. He has not been turned out with any geldings yet, but soon to be tried. His dream is to be loved, and his retirement wishes honored. No work, no saddle no bridle and no driving. Just let him keep your equines company. He is not a dominant horse, just a nervous boy. He forgets that he is as big as he is, he always keeps you with in his sights, but if scared he forgets how big he is.

Nebraska:

1.  Urgent update (3 Mar 2009):  I do have an update on my landlord's horses. I spoke with him today when he was out and it is not great news. He said that one way or another he will be down to 4 horses this spring. I am guessing that he is planning on taking the 2 mares and 2 colts to auction the next time it is local. I am not sure when that will be. Our area is pretty quiet on horse auctions and usually only holds two pretty large auctions a year...one in the spring and one in the fall. I haven't heard yet when the first one will be. I can't see him taking them too far out.  I mentioned that I might consider buying the one mare myself (as she is very attached to my mare) and he said that if I did, I would have to probably start paying him for hay.  I have been in contact with a rescue who might be able to take them, but I would have to fundraise the ransom and health certs, etc. for them...that was just for the 2 mares though. The two stud colts will be the hardest to place. The one is very sweet and handling well, but the other is still pretty shy and I have yet to get him haltered. sigh. He did mention that he was considering gelding at least Dusty.  Any help for these horses would be greatly appreciated!

I have listed my landlord’s twores on my website.  Please note that they have very limited handling.  I am reintroducing the halter and will work with them until a good home is found for them.  5 yr old bay roan mare.  Approximately 14.2 – 15H.  Beautiful face and very willing to please.  She is haltering nicely now and is beginning to take tentative steps forward when asked.  Not bad considering we are working in the pasture with all the other horses around!  Best offer.  My landlord also has an older bay roan mare.  This mare is very friendly likes people, is halter broke (she is a little nervous at first when you start to put the halter on, but once on she will do anything asked of her), and had a beautiful bay colt last year (she is open this year.)  She is not registered.  I am not for sure how old she is.  Best offer.  Update (11 Dec 2008):  My landlord has also added the two yearling colts to the list of horses for sale.  Denny is a buckskin roan.  He is still shy with strangers and is not halter broke at this time.  I have been working with him as he originally wouldn’t let anyone come within five feet of him.  He loves scratches and to be brushed, but he is still a little nervous with the halter touching him.  Dusty is the bay colt (recently gelded) out of Bella.  He is an absolute pocket pony and loves attention.  He halters well, but can still be a little stubborn about leading.  He allows fly masks and will pick up his feet if asked.  You can do anything with this boy!  He has potential to make someone a very nice gelding!  I have lots of pictures if anyone wants to see them!   Best offer.  Update: 13 Apr 2009:  These horses are still available.  They are now UTD with deworming, but not vaccs as my landlord doesn't believe in vaccinating horses that don't leave the property. I will try to get more pictures of them on the website soon.  Please email me for more info Missys.hope @ gmail.com (remove spaces)  Located in Nebraska.

Gus is doing wonderfull in his temporary digs.
He had a donated massage (Thank you K) and di d ok :)
Teeth done in Jan.  Farrier is coming Monday. UTD had all his shots. worming current (just wormed him again today.)
The barn owner likes him a lot and thinks he will really blossom with one long term quiet person who will gain his trust.
Gus is 12 - 13 years, about 15 h, goes english or western, pretty strawberry roan with the prettiest color red mane and tail.
Timid of people - worried you are going to hurt him.
Good around dogs, tractors, etc..  does not cross tie.
not for beginner but great trail horse for a confident and quiet rider.  
Please help get the word out about Gus. Fosters get 1st right to adopt.

1.  Pictures of the horses can be seen on the ABR Forum:  http://forums.prospero.com/AlexBrown/messages?msg=36858.1

This is very difficult for me to do.  Due to a personal problem (divorce) the future of Double G Stable & Farms is in jeopardy.  Because the future is so very unclear for me right now I need to think of the horses first.  Because I don’t want there to be a last minute panic or wait too long and have the horses suffer I am asking for help now.  Please keep this about the horses. I ask that any personal questions you might have remain personal. Just e-mail me and I will do my best to answer.  This is a very difficult time for me after 17yrs it was not the situation I expected to find myself.

I need to place as many of the horses here now as I can.  I will be going from having my husbands income to not really having much of any.  Which makes it hard to care for 13 horses.  So here is what we have. 

Marigold 32 yr old blind OTTB mare.

Makeda approx 25 yr old Standardbred mare needs a special diet due to dental issues.

Ollie  2yr old TB mare Still has slight heart murmur but it seems to be getting better.

Silver approx 18 yr old POA Blind gelding. He does ride and is very sweet.

George is my blind gelding that is the best riding horse I have ever had. Just ask and he’ll do it.

Victoria 12 yr old appaloosa mare. Broke to ride I used to show her, but she has just been hanging out in the pasture.

Hope 18yr old Arab  cross mare. OK for light riding due bad joint in rear leg. Loves kids.

Cherry 25 yrs old QH mare. Very light riding or companion due to old knee injury.

Miss O and Jackjack will stay with Alex

Mini Mow and his momma will most likely go to a friend.

Hannah will return to her previous owner.

Emma is owned by a boarder.

We are in Sophia NC which is almost dead center in the middle of the state.

I do want to make it clear that this isn't just a fire sale.  I made a promise to each of these horses that they would never suffer again.  Which is why I am trying to place them sooner rather then later.  They will not just  get on the first trailer that shows up.  I am not "advertising" them because I don't want to take the chance of them going to the wrong home. 

 

Rhode Island:

1.  NEER/Solar/RI is in desperate need of a new home.  He is an older 'shrimpy' Belgian (looks like he was put in the dryer:), beaten up AND down by the Amish.  He drives, but does not appear to ride.  He has learned to trust more, likes things calm, likes to eat, and loves carrots now.  He needs a quiet retirement home where no one will yell at him or abuse him, but he is not 'skiddish'.  He is about 15H and stubby, comfortable...if you like riding a couch. 20ish years old. UTD.  Needs work on his feet, he is accustomed to stocks.  He needs somebody with experience to do his feet, he does NOT want them touched!  ):

Solar would need to be retrained to be ridden.  He can be stubborn, but you can barely blame him... he is not mean or nasty, very sweet...just hesitant to trust, and he really should just be retired.  He loves where he is now, but is not a trail horse, and his fosters want a trail horse.

PLEASE help Solar!!  ):

weather and finding a trailer ride permitting....
I will be bringing the hackney pony "Boo" to the BTA/BOLT horse show in Boxford MA July 18th with a leadline rider and w-t rider.
http://www.btabolt.org/downloads/2009_bta_entry.pdf
The BTA is special to me as the show has been around forever and is in my old stomping grounds. My family has sponsored a perpetual trophy there for years so if you go - you can try to win it, its for best in pleasure and trail class combined :)
the BTA is also supportive of NEER and when we are able to attend, they make us feel special by helping to bring awareness to our cause.
If you attend, please thank the show commitee for their support :)
Although the w-t- classes are generally huge, I recommend this show as a layed back schooling show where you can get your horse out and about without a lot of pressure.
as you will see in the above link, there is something for everyone here.
dressage ring, pleasure ring, trail ring, jump course, and games

SECRETARY SALAZAR PRESIDES OVER RENEWAL OF STATUE OF LIBERTY AND DEATH IN THE WEST

While an American Symbol of Hope is Renewed, A Living Symbol of the American West is Extinguished.

"On this 4th of July, Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar officially reopens to the public the Statue of Liberty’s crown, a powerful symbol to the nation and the world of American ideals and hopes.  Meanwhile, in the American West, his Bureau of Land Management is detailing plans for the extermination of a different but equally powerful symbol of the American spirit, the wild horse.  While Secretary Salazar is "inviting the public to celebrate our great nation and the hope and opportunity it symbolizes", 33,000 wild horses are in holding pens, removed from Federal designated Wild Horse Territories, awaiting the completion of BLM plans to send them to a mass slaughter, without the proper consideration of viable and humane alternatives."

Link includes Voting Poll!  Follow link to vote.

What should President Obama and Secretary Salazar do with the wild horses?

a) Slaughter those currently in holding pens, continue to reduce thier numbers in the wild, and zero out more Wild Horse Territories.

b) Return the wild horses to the Wild Horse Territories with a well thought out management plan that utilizes PZP birth control and other options.

c) Continue rounding up horses and holding them in pens, and zero out more Wild Horse Territories.

I seen you posted equines wanted.

Could you add us to the list? 

We are searching for a mule that needs a good home, broke to ride for the grandchildren. Gentle a must.

Age not really important.  Will be well loved and cared for with plenty of space to roam.

A donkey is also need as a replacement for an elderly man, he uses his donkeys to plow his and neighbors gardens, one passed on this winter and he is searching for one that is at least semi broke. Age unimportant. 

Both are guaranteed to find a forever home, what comes here never leaves, they find a safe haven.

We are in Northwest Alabama.  Franklin county. 

Thanks in advance.
