WI, with Mocha.

Stormy
(18yr)
This horse is from a therapeutic horseback riding program in Solway,
MN which is 12 miles west of Bemidji MN. Current owners have this
to say about him, "He is an Appaloosa Standard Bred cross
he is 16 hand, very sweet, nice to ride, & drive. He is about
18 years old and almost totally blind. One of his eyes is shrunken
and the other he has about 15% vision. We have been using him
at a riding school and with those with disabilities that are physically
able to ride him. He is not registered, as far as I know. He has
negative coggins, has a recent vet check, west Nile 3way shot
and recently farriered. He trailers fair because of his blindness
it takes patience to let him smell and check it out and after
a few minutes he usually jumps right in. We have been feeding
him grain twice a day and he is looking great. He is always a
bit on the lean side. We have mostly netting with barbed wire
fencing and lately he has started getting caught, running into
things. We really have grown attached to him and would like him
to go to a loving home where he can be safe and live out the rest
of his life with great care. We have had him for about a year
and things have went fine. It took him awhile to get used to everything
but when he does he is fine. He rides English on contact, western
and he used to be a cart horse. He is great on the trails, beautiful
long extended trot, and all gaits are very nice. I would take
him myself but unfortunately I am over loaded with my own horses.
He is still able to be ridden, driven whatever although I would
suggest an intermediate rider because of his blindness. We really
hate to give him up but he needs better care than we can provide.
His health is great other than being blind."

Secretly
Yours
She's a beautiful Dark Bay and really big at 16HH. Has been trained
for English riding but can ride western. Previous owner wanted
to train herfor dressage but doesn't have time. Stands still for
farrier and grooming, current on all shots, and loves the attention.
Can have an attitude at times but can't we all?

Miss
Uno (10yr)
Appaloosa mare. Her owner tell us this, "She is such a sweet
girl and deserves the good life. She is registered with the ApHC.
She is about 15 hh and broke to ride. She is bay with a spotted
blanket and white blaze on her face. She has the true Appy tail,
so her tail is very short and so is her mane, it's easy maintenance
but requires some extra work in the summer with all the bugs.
I think she would benefit from a fly sheet in the summer. I bought
her and a little gelding about six months ago from a man who should
be locked up!! They were being used as trail horses and literally
being worked to death! I sold the little gelding to an awesome
lady who spoils him rotten, but haven't had any luck finding Uno
a home. I would love to keep her if I could care for her, but
I can't afford to and now I have been called in to duty and have
to go to Saudi Arabia for the next 6-12 months. She is currently
being boarded in Shakopee, MN. She has a current coggins, strangles,
and flu-rhino, but is due for everything else. She is also due
for worming. She is just out in the pasture so she gets hay but
no grain. Her weight looks pretty good, she could maybe put on
a few pounds but not many. She also needs her feet trimmed. Her
feet are not in the best shape. She stands well for the vet and
farrier as long as they move slow and are patient with her. I
ship out on June 17th, so less than a week and a half and I NEED
to get her moved by then."

Samba
STB gelding with some arthritis. Contact Susan at asapinc@mwt.net
for more information. Update from
foster family (6/11/04): "Samba is doing very
well considering his former injuries. He does have some arthritis
(low ring bone) around the foot that was broken on the race track.
He has not yet shown us any signs of limping or pain due to this.
He is being ridden regularly by beginner riders and he does a
wonderful job. He is very quiet and very calm." Located in
Menomonie in Dunn County.

Minnow
(3yr)
Note from previous owner:
"16.2 hh. She is a 3 year old half thoroughbred and half
quarter horse. She was never registered. She has never been broke
and I would not recommend her for hard riding. I would think gentle
riding would be okay. She is very easy to get along with and a
very pretty horse." This mare has a torn vulva but does not
suffer from it. Please call ASAP office for more details.

Donna
Jean Direct (16yr)
Nice smaller mare originally from Cottonwood Farm. She is sound
and a small dark bay. Easy to handle but doesn't willingly come
right up to a person in pasture. Once haltered, you can do anything
with her. 16 years old and ready for someone to love her. She
has been a driving horse for the past couple of years and has
turned out some really really nice foals. Price: $200 to qualified
adopter.

Izabeau
(6yr)
STB mare. She is a 14 hand bay Standardbred with a quarter horse
look. She is sound (pulled some ligaments and was never raced),
and has a great personality. UPDATE
FROM FOSTER FAMILY (1/7): "Izzy is at my farm
near Bemidji, MN and she is doing very well. She is riadeable
but doesn't have alot of training. We have not tried to drive
her since we have had snow ever since she came here. She is a
trotter so could work out well in either western or English riding.
She has a very nice disposition and loves attention." UPDATE
(4/7): Izzy
is now 6 years old and a real beauty. Izzy has a great personality.
She is truly a people horse. She also gets along well in the herd.
She has been ridden several times this spring and had a good deal
of training before she came to us. She stands about 14 hands 3
and is a beautiful deep red bay. We will head out on some trail
rides this week.

Hytailit
Mabel (5yrs)
Foaled 5/06/98. Bay. Mare. Star: left hind ankle white higher
inside, 15.2 hands. Sore in right front. Owner has scanned and
nothing broken. Appears to have calcification in bursa. Mabel
is a petite, sweet horse who is gentle. UPDATE
(3/17): Mabel was trimmed last week and the farrier
remarked she may not have been trimmed for quite some time. This
may have led to her soreness. Her foster family also gave her
a de-wormer last week.

Pace
Invader (2yr)
STB gelding. This big giant two year old will lay his LONG head
on your shoulder the minute you arrive. He will actually follow
you all over and prevent you from giving any other horse attention
if at all possible - he wants it ALL. He was just gelded a few
months ago. He is well mannered with the mares and other geldings,
but hates Yank and made that clear to Yank a couple of weeks ago.
Space Invader has not had any saddle training yet - his ground
work just started. He is an easy 16 + hand horse and still growing
at this young age. He would do well with one other gelding, or
one or more mares.

Family
Counsler (14yr)
STB gelding - 16.1hh. Barn name is Sigi. He is a 16.1h, bright
bay gelding with two hind socks, pin fire marks along both rear
suspensories, a front cuff and the cutest little star on his forehead.
He has good ground manners and is not dominant. He loves to play
and eat. His gaits are good and his walk and trot are like riding
a cloud. Contact ASAP office for more information.

Cape
Cruiser (6yr)
Standardbred mare. Small and stocky bay - good to be around -
time of 1:57.1 Had surgery to removed chips out of a right knee
last year, then returned to race The knee has held up well, but
she keeps bleeding through Lasix. She has a great heart for racing,
but her body just isn't coping with the speed it needs to get
there and win. They raced her in an open bridle - just a great
little mare. At the ASAP farm. Call Sue for more details at 608-689-2296
or 608-792-5126. UPDATE (5/12):
This six year old mare is small but sweet. She, as well as the
others, is eager to see people and is easy to halter and lead.
She has natural "smarts" and common sense. She is attached
to Sarajevo too, but could survive without her. Cape Cruiser is
having her feet trimmed this Friday and was wormed on May 1. Her
shiny coat is becoming evident since the worming. She has been
ridden twice since arriving here - both times were without incident.
She is coming along nicely.
|
Sarajevo
(3yr)
 
Filly just being referred for placement. She is sound - currently
in Illinois but soon to be relocated to Wisconsin - more details
to follow. UPDATE
(4/26): She is sound and she should be ready for whatever
you want her to do. She had pneumonia. The UofI vet clinic suspects
that it might have a small affect on her lung capacity as a race
horse. She is well-bred and a pretty 3 year old filly. She is
spirited but loving. She has had so much vet work on her that
she may be a little shy and cranky until she forgets those unpleasant
times. Notice that she has white in her forehead in the shape
of the state of Illinois. At the ASAP farm. UPDATE
(5/12): This sweet little filly is so attached to Cape
Cruiser that it would be incredible if they could be adopted out
together. Sarajevo enjoys attention. She walks right up to anyone
and is eager to be haltered and led. She can be touched anywhere
without objection. She loves people. Last Saturday (May 8) Sarajevo
was saddled for the first time. She stood tied to the hitching
post without a problem. She is a little uncertain of strange surroundings,
but a soft voice is soothing and calming to her and she responds.
She is a breathtaking, flawless horse! We will continue to work
with her and hope to have her trained to saddle by June 15.

Double
Start (21yr)
Thoroughbred mare, well bred, very sweet, ridable, was on the
racetrack until age 2, then was used as a broodmare and has been
ridden out in the Badlands and on other extended trail rides.
Current owner rides her along the bareback with just a halter.There
is a very slight possibility she is pregnant (was pastured with
a young akhal-teke/Russian warmblood colt last year). The photo
is was taken during her last pregnancy. Located north of Milwaukee.

without complication. Adoption fee may be waived to the right
applicant. She is bay, 15'2 hands, and sound. UPDATE
(3/23): Free to qualified adopter who wants a challenge.
While she has her sweet side, she can be very aggressive if touched
in the chest area. She is easy to handle on the ground and you
can drive her, and she is a proven brood mare. Call ASAP for details.

Do
the Hustle (18yr)
BLACK STB trotting mare - she has been a broodmare for the past
few years. Hustle is loving and gentle - a truly great pet. She
had a past front tendon injury - has not been driven for many
years. Hustle loves people and attention. She's an easy keeper
and looks much younger than 18 years. She's a good broodmare and
mother and has produced great race horses. Sire: Noble Hustle
Dam: Wildwood Ember. Located in Windsor, IL. UPDATE
FROM FOSTER FAMILY (1/7): Both Hustle and Shatzie are
fine. They were both ridden last week we had a really warm day
so we saddled them up. Shautzie did very well she turns and stops
and didn't seem bothered too much with the ordeal. Hustle was
not thrilled; however, she never bucked. After five minutes she
was fine. Her rider said with some work he thinks she will do
well. Shautzie goes to anyone. Those two are so close it would
break my heart to see them separated but I know they will have
good homes."

Schatzie
Bluegrass (17yr)
STB mare - former pacer. Schatzie has a mark of 1:57 and winnings
of $33,000 as a 3 year old. She is sound, and is a loving and
gentle pet. She hasn't been driven or ridden recently, but grandkids
have been on her back - Sue anticipates she could easily be made
into a nice riding horse. Sire: Fortune Richie Dam: Sha Boom Bluegrass.

Power
Glory N (24yr)
STB gelding with a stockier, QH-type build. 15hh. Used by beginners
for riding. Never sick a day in his life. He comes with Cortios,
and hopefully these two can stay together. Both are healthy, sound,
and Power Glory has a nice little canter. Due to age, both may
be placed at a much reduced adoption fee. UPDATE
FROM CURRENT ADOPTER on both CORTIOS AND POWER GLORY N:
"From my research, I've established they have most likely
been together since 1990. Fun fact: Glory was born in New Zealand!
Right now they are pasture boarded. They are fed an senior grain
two times a day and hay. They are very very healthy. They've both
had a round of shots in December, as well as floating, sheaths
cleaned, adjustments, and feet done. The vet did a thorough check
and he couldn't believe how healthy they are! I do give them glucosamine
injections once a month, but it's more preventative. It's great
for older horses because it keeps the joints feelin great and
takes care of minor aches and pains of growing old! :-) I do notice
they have been feeling much better than when I first got them,
but they've also had tons of attention and truly appreciate it.
As for the trail ride, they should be great. I have taken Cortios
on a two hour trail ride. He did great. They've also been exercised
and ridden on a regular basis for the past four months."

Cortios
(21yr)
Cortios is a STB gelding who stands 15'3 hands and is a solid
bay. He has been ridden by beginners for the past eight years
and is as bomb proof as you will find. He comes with Power Glory
N. Both are healthy and sound. They came together, and hopefully
can stay together. Due to age, both may be placed at a much reduced
adoption fee. UPDATE FROM CURRENT

Gameedah
Knight (27yr)
(Gammy) is an Arab Mare. Owners rescued her (updated 4/8):
"Gammy has been an absolute angel the entire time I have
had her. We picked her up from Northern Minnesota on February
14. Many people told me and my husband we were crazy, but I was
compelled to go to her. After we got to the barn where she lived,
I was very glad I had not listened to the naysayers. The conditions
she was living in were horrendous. She definately deserved a second
chance to have a loving (clean) home. We have Gammy on regular
hay, although she does prefer a grass hay (less sticky) that is
easier to chew due to the fact that her teeth have not been floated
in awhile. She does get a senior feed, again she was only being
fed cracked corn for ducks by her previous owners so she needed
the extra nutritian. I also have her on a joint supplement (MaxFlex)
for some stiffness in her left rear leg. The trainer at our barn
said she feels that after we run out of MaxFlex she could just
go on MSM and her senior feed. The stiffness in her left rear
is not a continual issue. Most of the time she is fine. As for
vision problems, it appears she has a corneal scar in one eye,
but it does not seem to limit her vision much. When she was introduced
to her new surroundings she did not move around as an animal with
limited vision. My youngest daughter (10) took a lesson on her
with our trainer two weeks ago and our trainer has been talking
to everyone about Gammy ever since. All the people who watched
her lesson were so impressed and could not believe her age. She
moves so beautifully and doesn't appear at all to be 27 years
old. In fact we have a 21 year old gelding (Paint) and a 19 year
old gelding (Thoroughbred) at the barn and you would think they
were 7 and 10 years older than her and not the other way around.
She rides out real nice on trail rides. We have a 6 year old Quarab
and a 10 year old Welsh and together the three horse keep pace
wonderfully. When we first rode them together I was thrilled to
have three horses that walked, trotted and cantered at the same
pace. We didn't have to yell back to the person we were riding
with! It was a very unique experience for me. Gammy is great for
any level rider in the arena, on the road I would suggest a rider
with some experience, only because she is fast. We do ride her
in a slow twist corkscrew D ring snaffle only so she stops with
the beginner riders but we started out riding her and still do
ride her in a plain egg butt for more expereinced riders. "
Located in IL. Please call the ASAP office for more details.

Sundown
(24yr)
Registered name: Decca Five. Registered palomino quarter horse
gelding. He was foaled on April 20, 1971. He has spent the last
approximately seven years as an equine therapist at Free S.P.I.R.I.T.
Riders, Inc. (FSR) in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The director of
this program had this to say about Sundown, "Free S.P.I.R.I.T.
Riders is a non-profit organization committed to enriching the
lives of children and adults with disabilities through safe, therapeutic
interaction with horses. Sundown has been retired due to his advancing
age and arthritis. We are searching for a retirement home for
him. Overall, he is in good health, but is on a complete senior
equine feed and a supplement for his arthritis. Like any old-timer,
he has his good days (when he trots around like a youngster) and
his bad (when he walks with a limp). Because of this, we are looking
to place him as either a companion or babysitter. Sundown has
a very sweet disposition, and good ground manners. He enjoys being
groomed, especially when he is shedding out. He is usually cooperative
about having his feet picked, depending on how he is feeling.
He also enjoys attention and human contact."
