TJ
TJ is a Thoroghbred He is our youth project horse and is being ridden by Brittany who has been with our program from the beginning. I got him because he has a good mind and is very gentle with no vices. He is even calm on trail. I am training him with the help of my youth outreach program and volunteers. In July 2004 he has torn a major muscle. He is now in rehabililation and is progressing slowly. The learning never stops. Charlie Adopted |
Liberus now known as Levi Adopted Rescued from San Diego on June 11, 2008. This horse was going to be euthanized on the following Monday if no one took him. He is a 18 hand Oldenburg grand prix jumper with a three year old suspensory tear. We brought him to our facility sight unseen only to save him. We didn't know what to expect but we were very pleased when we saw him. He has the sweetest personality but needed a lot of weight and muscle built up. He could barely walk the perimeter of our arena. After six weeks of rehab he is now trotting laps and cantering. So far there is no sign of lameness. We already have someone who is interested in adopting him. I wish all of our horses were this easy to adopt.
Don Juan ADOPTEDwas born in 1987 and is an Arabian Gelding. When he came to us he had been standing in his stall for over a year. We worked with him and built up his muscles and he is ready to be adopted. He is very sweet and very fast. He was used for endurance racing and has really good blood lines. Would make a great gymkanna or trail horse. He is only 14 hands so he needs a light rider who likes to go fast.
Ebony born in 1987 is a saddlebred mare with a very bad fetlock injury. By the time we got her it had developed into a bone infection that at one point we were able to drain it but he had come back. We have tried shock wave therapy with no success. We then treated her with acuscope and myopulse therapy and we were able to keep the inflammation down. Although she still had a hitch in her step she was able to run and play. She lived for another six years until she passed of old age. Jokers Cookie was born in 1988 and is a chestnut appendix Quarter horse, 16 hands and was a hunter. He has OCD in his stifle. We treated him with the acuscope and after one treatment he was relaxing his leg and would put all his weight on it. We are also using msm coolant gel by Vita Flex which has really helped to reduce the inflammation. Jokers Cookie has been bounced around from home to home so we are going to make him as comfortable as we can. He is doing so well now that the 4-H club riding him in all levels. He went on to do barrel racing and pole bending. The acuscope therapy really helped him to keep his lead changes that he couldn't do before. He has been with us for eight years now and is 24 and doing great teaching lessons.
MOXY 14.2 hand quarter horse mare born in 1999. My neighbor purchased her in November 2005 and has decided that they can't keep her anymore. She was untrained at the time of his purchase and is now doing very well under saddle. Horses for Love has purchased her and is now using her for lessons. She has turned out to be just wonderful. I have a 2 1/2 year old student that rides her and they just love each other. We have decided to keep her because she does so well with the kids and she is sooo calm. We have her leased out part time and she is getting lots of attention.
HERCULES ADOPTED A 15.2 hand mustang draft horse born in 1978 has been rescued by Horses for Love. This horse was left unattended and had a very nasty cut on his hock. We medicated him (not to his liking) and he healed very nicely. We were uncertain about him in the beginning because it did not seem that he was ever properly trained. With lots of patience and reputition he is now enjoying a happy life but need an owner. He loves trail and is very fast. You have to be confident with this horse he does not like heavy hands and will buck. He was given to a rancher and loved his life out on the range.
who is seen here with my
other son Chris who is 4. He was a grand prix dressage horse aka Rosenthal who made it to the olympic trials. He developed ringbone due to his underslung heels.
We had tried the cortozone injections with him but it did not
seem to work after awhile. We then proceeded with acuscope therapy and he went completely sound after eight treatments. Buster would continue acuscope treatments once a month for a year then every six months he would get one treatment. He was our gentle giant that gave everyone confidence in their riding skill. Buster went on to live another ten years sound and showed in flat classes in western. He loved bananas. He will be in all of our hearts forever.
Midnight
Midnight passed away January 30 2002.
We will miss him very much. Midnight was born in 1962 and is seen with Devin, my son who
was six years old. Devin has devoted alot of his time
cleaning Midnights stall and feeding him. Midnight was
undernourished when we got him and as it turned out he was
in a pasture and wasn't able to eat hay very well.
