(3yr)
Pony gelding. Approximately 13hh. At the ASAP farm.

Gray
Van Kandy (21yr)
Registered quarter horse mare. 15.2hh. Flea bitten grey with some
pink on her nose. She has a nice personality--no bad habits. She's
great with other horses and good with children. Has melanoma on
her rear and mouth but this hasn't affected her otherwise. At
the ASAP farm!
|
Jammer
(9yr)
QH. Grade bay gelding. 14.3hh. Owner reports, "We bought
him just last fall for my sister to use him as a rodeo queen horse
but little did we know that he had arthritis. He is extremely
well broke, neck reins, jump starts, backs like a pro, spins,
trail rides, used as a heading horse. He was used out west on
the ranches and rodeos. He needs someone with a gentle hand becuase
of how he was roughed up previously. We haven't ridden him since
his arthritis was noticed. He is super for trailering and etc."
Possible companion. Please call the office for details. UPDATE
(10/13): "We just put him on corta flex for one
week and his condition improved greatly, we think that if he was
kept on something like corta flex that he could become a light
riding horse."

Blue
Ribbon Winner (15yr)
STB gelding. He's a really big boy at 17hh! Bay. Easy going and
very good under saddle. This horse has been with the ASAP program
since 1995 - he has years under saddle and has been ridden by
children and adults. He is a large bay gelding who retired from
racing at age 7 when he pulled a suspensory ligament which has
long since healed. He is in Wisconsin at a foster farm that is
midway between Madison and Milwaukee.

Enchanted
Lass (8yr)
STB mare - 16hh. Dark bay with star. Broke to ride. This mare
is currently located in Nebraska. Please call the ASAP office
for more details.
|
Taste
of Wine (7yr)
 
STB gelding, 16hh, black. Susan reports, "He has not raced
in at least two years. He was retired sound, and is the sleekest
looking animal you have ever laid eyes on! He is sweet as pie,
and every morning and/or evening he will race over to whoever
is leaning over the fence and take their sleeve in his lips and
just stand and cuddle. I am madly, hopelessly hooked on this one
- he'll go fast! If he doesn't he might end up staying!!!!"
At the ASAP farm.

Chance
(12yr)
Registered Quarter Horse gelding - 15.2 hh. Blood bay with white
star and two white socks. Chance is a real sweet horse with a
great personality, excellent ground manners, and kind eye. Stands
for the farrier, loads, ties, clips, bathes. Current on all shots
including West Nile, teeth floated in May 2003. No bad habits
or vices. Trained at age two for barrels, this gorgeous horse
has been a "pasture ornament" for 9 years, and when
he first arrived at ASAP in the spring, he had the habit of tossing
his head and not listening to cues. It is almost as though he
has forgotten the training he had early on in life. He needs to
be retrained to saddle by a confident rider or sent to a trainer
for a refresher course. Currently located in Whitewater, WI. Please
call the ASAP office for more details. Urgent
Update (10/5): Chance is now in training in Fort Atkinson,
WI, with a reputable trainer. This horse has had a bad time somewhere
in the past, and as a result, he's afraid of the bit and has been
hard to handle. However, the trainer firmly believes that Chance,
with a month of training, will become the well-behaved horse he
is meant to be. After just four days of training, he has become
more willing and interested in riding. He is getting better with
the bit and is turning willingly. If anyone out there wants to
find out more, and is willing to pay the approximate $500 for
his training, ASAP will waive any adoption fee and he can be yours!
Please give Chance a future!

Explosive
MS (14yr)
STB mare. Bay. We've found that Missy can be a timid horse. She
needs lots of reassuring. Ray Waters, trainer of many ASAP horses,
came today and worked with her on the ground for 20 minutes. Her
head lowered and she was smacking her lips within 2 minutes with
this trainer. She has a vast learning potential! No problems trimming
hooves. She's good on trails but not alone. She is very herd bound
and I would recommend her for an experienced person or definetly
someone who is wanting to work with her so she can gain the confidence
she needs to venture out alone. UPDATE
(9/15): "Missy" is still at the ASAP farm...
surprisingly. This stunningly gorgeous bay mare can be a stinker
to catch, but not with grain. Easy to tie, tack, and ride. Broke
good for trails. Needs a leader. Occasionally spooky in new situations.
Her age makes her all the wiser, but still needs an intermediate
rider - not a beginnner's horse. Get on and go - the more you
ride her the better she is!!! Adoption fee reduced for immediate
adoption.
|
Taken
By Surprise
STB gelding - a.k.a. "T.B.S." or "T-bone"
is now available for adoption (T-bone was first adopted in 1994,
when ASAP was founded!) We have had many inquiries
about T-Bone, and we can understand why. This gelding is about
15.1 hands and extremely gentle and quiet. CUTE FACE. He is fondly
remembered as one of the first five horses placed into the ASAP
program back in 1994. He has low ringbone on a front leg, but
this does not appear to affect his soundness in pasture. He would
be an EXCELLENT COMPANION horse or light riding or driving horse.
He does not require any special treatment for his ringbone. UPDATE
(5/8): He is the perfect first kids horse for someone
to ride around the yard and just love. He was also seen cantering
without a limp in the arena two days ago - seen trotting and cantering
well.

Cally
Saddlebred mare. 16hh. Older mare--age unknown. Sorrel with blaze.
Cally acts much younger than her age. She is still winning fun
races with kids on her back. She's a great trail horse and likes
to lead. A five year old has been riding her. She comes when you
call her. Current owner states this mare will do anything you
ask of her. She may need some special diet considerations (oil
with her grain to keep her weight up). Currently at a foster home
near ASAP. UPDATE (9/15):
Callie needs a loving home to settle in before winter. Someone
with no worries about groceries for this mare is preferred - she
is a hard keeper but a wise horse that will provide your family
with countless hours of companionship and riding.
|
Emaline
(6yr)
STB mare -15.2hh. Healthy and sweet. Needs someone to love her
and ride her and give her attention that she deserves. She was
green broke but has not been ridden in a long time. Located in
foster care in Illinois. UPDATE (9/15):
Emaline is in central Illinois and is a great riding horse, according
to her foster family. She is a tall mare and has the looks to
match her love for people. $350
|
Ebony
(19yr)
TB, 16.2 h, all black with 1/2 moon on forehead. Western broke.
Healthy and up-to-date with all shotes. Great looks and great
personality. In Maple Park, IL.

Shay
N Tell
Shay N Tell is a beautiful Paint stock filly from the same breeder
as April. She is at the ASAP farm. UPDATE
(9/15): This yearling breeding stock Paint filly is
becoming more friendly by the day. Her mom was 16 hands tall -
she will probably be as large. 100% sound - hauled like a lady
to ASAP farm from Stratford. She'll be two years old in Spring
- just in time for saddle training!
|
April
(1yr)
April, left, and
Shay N Tell, right
April is a yearling registerable PAINT FILLY - being placed
by reputable Paint owner who states that the horse has a chip
either in her knee or shoulder. She is sound at the walk and canter
- noticeably limps when trotting. For the right adopter, this
horse could be surgically cured and become a wonderful horse to
show and ride. Both horses are available for viewing at the ASAP
farm. (See Shay N Tell's description, below.) UPDATE
(9/15): April came to us from Stratford, WI and she
had a resemblance to Chief, our day camp horse, without the watch
eye. She was a real snorter in the beginning as she had to become
accustomed to dogs, kids, pigs, and cats. Now the snorting has
stopped, and April has become a very affectionate little filly.
No limping observed at the walk or canter - there is a visible
limp at the trot. A $500 surgery is needed to remove the OCD in
her knee area - or wait it out and see if the body resorbs the
chip as she grows... ASAP lacks the funds necessary to have the
chips removed - perhaps you could adopt her at a reduced cost
and pursue the surgery... call us.

Ruby
Sign (3yr)
Standardbred gelding - approx. 15.2 hh. STRIKING BLACK with star
and three white socks - ONE-OF-A-KIND, KIND FACE. Owners say he
has a "different" look that sets him apart from the
rest. Ruby strained a suspensory ligament two weeks ago, but some
stall rest should set him right. Once recovered, he'll be fine
for saddle training. UPDATE (6/02):
Now at the ASAP farm. He is a sweet, loveable, sensible horse.
He is going to be a marvelous pet and riding companion once he
puts on weight. UPDATE (9/15):
Ruby has
finally arrived at his ideal weight. He is a glistening black
horse who has turned brown from the eternal sunshine we have experienced
this summer, but is a gorgeous horse with tons of heart. He still
doesn't like our pigs, and can be a bit shy in new situations,
but has been ridden three times and will be a great trail horse
for the right family.

E.V.
Mack (8yr)
STB gelding - bay, no markings. 15hh. Qualified last spring, and
is a $250,000 winner!! His owners decided not to race this hero
any more and he is on pasture rest. Mack is a TRUE CHAMPION of
horse who loves people. HE HAS A BIG HEART. Update
(5/15): Previous adopter noticed some soreness in has
back leg when she rode him, but his lovely temperment makes him
a real treasure. Can you give this sweetheart the retirement he
deserves?? Please call the ASAP office for more details.

Fox
Valley Sorcerer (8yr)
STB gelding - trotter. 16hh. Red with star. This horse raced until
he was four years old and earned $67,000. He now has trouble with
his coffin bone and and has a bowed tendon. F.V. Sorcerer prefers
being in pasture. He is broke to ride but he's only suitable for
a light adult or child at this point.

Victory
Buck (3yr)
STB gelding trotter. Buck is on 30 days of stall rest for a broken
knee, but is healing nicely. Current on Coggins and health certificate.
Please call the ASAP office for more information. UPDATE
(6/02): Victory Buck is at Adrienne De Master's
in Trempealeau. He is only about 14+ hands, handsome - stunning
- gentle - loves attention - would make a great kid's horse.
|
Bold
n Rare (4yr)
STB mare. Contact Susan at asapinc@mwt.net
for more information. This horse is currently in training with
Ray Waters. UPDATE (7/24): Bold
has returned from saddle training with Ray Waters, and she is
currently in foster care at a farm near ASAP. Please call for
more details!

Bullwinkle
(14yr)
STB gelding - almost 17hh! Bay with one white sock and small crescent
moon on forehead. Previous owner states that "Bully"
is a real personality--he curls his lips and sticks out his tongue!
Owner has this say about him, "He is a dominant horse that
relates well to most other horses as long as he is the one in
charge. He has arthritis in his right front coffin joint that
acts up in bad weather or after strain from a hard ride. Bully
has had years of training in natural horsemanship, but can
be quite stubborn when the mood fits. He loves to ride trails,
and wants to jump obstacles and run very fast (but he will pay
for that afterwards). He needs an experienced rider, as it can
be a challenge to hold him back, even if it is for his own good.
Bully is very intelligent, and if asked to work too hard will
pull up lame immediately (with no heat or swelling to the joint)
and as soon as your back is turned after being put back into the
pasture, will take off like a dart with no sign of any problem.
He needs a home hopefully with other horses, as he is very social.
He loves kids and is surprisingly gentle for his size. Bully is
current on all vaccinations." UPDATE
(8/5): Since Bully has been at the ASAP farm,
we haven't noticed his arthritis at all!

Summerland
(2yr)
Visit
Bob's own website!
Known as Bob, this young
registered, Arabian gelding is turning out to be something special.
Located in Arkansas near the Ozark Mountains, his current owners
have this to say about him: "He has a Coggins and health
papers dated in April of this year. His registration papers are
in order. I'm thinking he'll mature around 14.2-14.3 and will
be a somewhat slender type, like his elegant mother. He was born
black but is presently iron grey. Not that it matters in a gelding
but through mama Tammy, he is a grandson of Ariston, one of the
Arabian breed's most famous horses ever. His paternal grandsire,
Klassic Shaklan, is a halter champion. His pedigree reads like
a virtual Who's Who of Arabiandom. I've compiled a 'braggin' book'
I'll send along with him to his new home if his new family wants
it, complete with a 9 generation extended pedigree. He is predominantly
Polish/domestic but has lines to Spanish and Egyptian horses too.
The caveat is that he toes out in front, especially on his left
fore and he will need to go to someone who will religiously see
to his hoof care. He is absolutely sound now but if that left
hoof were neglected for long, I believe it would turn to the point
of no return. Also, he won't be a beginner's horse to train as
he is a snorty little Arabian!" Please call the ASAP office
for more details.

Abra
Kadabra (22yr)
Visit
Abra's very own website!
Purebred grey Arabian. She is located in Arkansas, near the Ozark
Mountains along with Summerlandd Bob. Current owners have this
to say about her, "She is elderly but in wonderful condition
and except for a touch of heaves (she coughs if fed indoors, otherwise
she's fine), she is sound. We were told she is trained for English
pleasure but since I don't ride any more, I can't say if that's
true or not but she's very gentle, very sweet, and very gorgeous.
Her father was the wonderful Polish imported *Harbit and her dam
by the multi-National Champion *Gwalior. I don't have her papers
but the registry affirmed her pedigree. She no longer gets in
foal, though. How we got her is a long story but she ended up
in a killer pen and we plucked her out of there. She would like
a human of her own and could no doubt give years of love and 'eye
candy' to one. :o)" Please contact ASAP office for more details.

a very calm, easy -to-please horse. He stands quietly and is a
good trail horse. Please call for more details!
