Emaline

-8yr STB mare 16HH trail sound, shown, pretty Odds On Tom--11yr STB gelding 16+HH trail sound, BIG BABY both in IA URGENTLY NEEDED MOVED

Dove

9yo, 16HH, sound, she's the lead horse, the boss. She stands find for farrier, loads and hauls fine. She does well with my kids when i'm leading her. The only issue is when i ride her solo, she sometimes thinks she is deciding where and how fast we go. She likes to trot, I prefer walking most of the time. :) When we trail rode with her, she got very annoyed when she was asked follow, and tried to pass my husband's horse. When she was in the lead or even with the other horse she was fine.

Shady

3yo, approx 16HH, maybe 15.3. He's got a sweet dispostion, stands for the farrier no problem. We haven't really worked with him, short of leading him around. I think he would do well, he's pretty laid back.

Z Tempest

23yr Arabian mare white no vices, 14.2HH, very loving, light riding, blind in left eye...NEEDS MOVED URGENTLY!! located in Palmyra, WI

Jumbo Shrimp

Hi everybody!!! My registered name is Jumbo Shrimp, but since that's kind of a funny name for a horse, you can call me Bella (or Shrimpy!) I am a brown/black bay Standardbred, and I'm a 23-year-old grandma. I stand at 15.3 hands, so I'm pretty tall for a grandma!!! I was born in New Jersey (I wonder how I wound up in Wisconsin!) ~ my dad was Direct Scooter and my mom was Gotta Headache. I raced as a pacer during 1989-1993, and had lifetime winnings of $48,638. I have had 10 registered Standardbred foals, of which 9 were raced. My babies have had total winnings of $565,557. I'm so proud of them! When I turned the grand age of 20, I got to be a pasture pet and have been used very lightly on trails. My original person had some financial and divorce difficulties, and so I came to be part of the ASAP program. I now live with my foster person near Baraboo, WI. I am a sweet old gal and I'm hoping I can find a family who will let me continue to be a pasture pet, or maybe even your best friend. I can be ridden lightly, but please don't make me work too hard ~ it wouldn't be good for me to be ridden extensively. Since I'm a grandma, I would like to be fed separately from other horses if they get too bossy with me, and I would like to have senior horse feed. My foster person thinks I might need some supplements for arthritis, but she is not sure since this is my first winter with her. I was really happy when I got a good hoof trim, and I don't have any signs of lameness. In the summertime, please make sure I have shade to stand or lay under.

Tender Tidbit: I feel that I have had a very honorable career, and I would love to have a human companion to call my very own ~ someone to love me and spoil me in my golden years. I have a lot of love to give back, too. Guess what ~ my adoption fee will be waived, if the right person finds me and wants to love me!!! That's pretty neat!!! I hope there is someone out there who will come to see me and want to take me home!!! :)

Betty's Nightmare

Hello!!! My name is Betty's Nightmare! I know, I know ~ that's kind of a silly name, but everyone calls me Betty, and I'm really not a Nightmare at all!! I am a 3rd dam to Night's Dream, and that's how I got this name. I'm 15 years young, and also about 15 hands high. I am a black mare, and quite pretty, if I do say so myself! When I was young I was a pacer and I lived with Larry Goins in Indiana. I have lived with my foster person for many years, but sadly she has developed some bad allergies and asthma, and I need to find a different home. I haven't been ridden very much, but I have let children be led around on my back. I don't like to go into the woods, though ~ it seems like such a scary place! I am broke to drive, because of my background. Sometimes I am really sensitive and am not sure about being touched, but when I'm in a happy mood I love to have attention. I do know my commands, and when my person spends time with me I am very well-behaved. I need to have a person who will understand my moods and be patient with me. A couple of years ago I had some problems with one of my hooves. My person was very good about treating me and having a farrier work with me. It took a long time, but my hoof is getting better now and only needs more growing out under the nail. At least I am no longer lame! I am really good with the farrier and see him on a regular basis. Last fall my pasture buddy found a new home and I am lonely without her, and sometimes sad. I would love to have a person of my own who would love me and work with me and bring out the best in me. Is there anybody out there who would like to take me home? It would make me so happy!!

Tender Tidbit: Even though I might sometimes appear to be aloof, I am really just sad without my buddy. When my foster person comes out to see me, she always calls to me "Hello Miss Betty" and I give her a big purr in response. So you see, I really do know my name and I want to have a person I can call my own. My adoption fee is only $100. Thanks for reading about me and I hope I will find a new forever home real soon!!!

Lyric

10 years old - 15'3 hands tall - beautiful gray with black points in her mane and tail. Lyric requires a bit more in terms of gaining respect for a person on the ground. She is confident and sweet, yet wants what she wants and doesn't hesitate to push past you to get it. Has been a trail horse.She can be dominant but not hurtful in her dominance with other horses. Lyric is in need of a good hoof trimming but is otherwise sound. She is gaining weight nicely on her current diet and is due to be de-wormed this week. Lyric needs a more assertive, confident rider to help her "mind".

Royal Swan Song "Swanee"

Royal Swan Song "Swanee" is an 11 year old, 17 hand Standardbred bay gelding who has been in the same adoptive home since 2000. He has four white socks and a star on his forehead. He is very gentle and eager to please. He has been ridden hunt seat in an arena and does well with extended gaits and a posting rider. He has also been ridden Western. His main job has been trail riding, which he seems to enjoy very much. He is good with all types of motor vehicles, as he is ridden a mile down a state highway to get to the trails often. He is good with the vet and farrier, and trailers well. He began having allergies which caused some respiratory difficulties in mid summer 2007. He has been given a wide variety of veterinary and supplemental treatments, but his allergies returned again in summer 2008. Once the ground is frozen he is better and breathes normally. He has no other health issues.

Will update whether this becomes an adoption in early October

Wildfire (3yr)

Filly. Pony. 8.3HH. White with brown speckles. Wildfire is halter broke and has a nice trot. She would be a great little cart pony. Current owner states, "She has a lovely, animated trot - a flashy pony once rid of her winter coat - she is white with brown "Arabian speckles" and large expressive eyes. Wildfire was WILD when she came and is wary of strangers but surprised me by bumping me lightly with her nose the other day - asking for a treat - so she is learning to trust despite not getting a lot of attention. She has a condition which the vet couldn't diagnose with the equipment he has. We are guessing it might be something like cleft palate in humans. We considered taking her to Madison to have her scoped to confirm or deny that - but since she is in good health and thriving - decided not to put her through the stress. She does best on dry feed - such as hay - and is an "easy keeper" as long as she has plenty of fresh water and some hay. She can eat grass, though it causes green discharge to run from her nose and in turn colors her coat green anywhere she touches herself with her muzzle. When she is fed hay that doesn't happen. Her feet are good and her attitude is curious and alert. She doesn't bully other animals. It is a shame that a young animal with her "weather vane horse" trot should spend her days loafing around the pasture. It would be wonderful if there was someone out there - perhaps someone who loves horses but is no longer able to ride or interested in riding, who has the experience and the time to teach this little lady to pull a small cart. As frightened as she was when she came flying out of the trailer on the first day she was here, and as horrified as she was about the process of washing off all the layers of mud, dirt and manure that first couple of days (not a big fan of bathing) she has never kicked or bitten. A little hay, a lot of fresh clean water to wash it down, some minerals and routine health care have kept her healthy here. I don't foresee her condition getting worse - she has seemed to thrive on the diet she is eating - but I couldn't guarantee that she would never have a problem." Please call for more details on Wildfire.
