Didit

Didit is a 16.2 hh bay (with a white star and snip) Standardbred
gelding returning to the program due to financial difficulties.
He and current owner have been natural horsemanship students.
He is very smart and calm and enjoys trail rides and all things
new! He has been ridden western with a rope hackamore, and
is very responsive. He stands calmly for grooming and hoof
trims, even with a slack lead or the lead on the ground. He
comes when called and is always eager to eat and play! If
new adoptive home is interested, he can come with some Parelli
Natural Horsemanship learning material and tack.

Dollar

Dollar is a 17.2 bay Standardbred gelding returning to the
program due to financial difficulties (he is with Didit).
He and owner have been natural horsemanship students. He is
sensitive and very responsive to gentle, consistent leadership.
He has been ridden on the trail in a western saddle with a
rope hackamore. He stands calmly on a loose lead for grooming
and hoof trims. He comes when called - usually at a run, eager
to be with people, get scratched and get fed. If new adoptive
home is interested, he can come with some Parelli Natural
Horsemanship learning material and tack.

Jackson
Jackson is 7 1/2 years old. He is a beautiful
Saddlebred. Approximately 16 hands tall. He is a very curious
horse that is the first one that comes up to you when you call.
He dances a little for the farrier but that is his personality.
He loads easy and is an easy keeper. He can be a little pushy.
He has been on many trail rides and overnight camping trips.
He likes to ride. He is good on trails. When he doesn't know
what something is he will stand by it or watch it and will go
through it or by it. He does need an intermediate rider. He
has a lot of energy. He plays hard sometimes with people, he
sometimes will play but can bite as a part of his play. He is
a fun horse with a lot of personality. He was in the middle
of our herd. Not top and not bottom.

JB

22 year od Mare, she was raced. She is between 15 and 16
hands, bay with a white face. She is very malnourished right
now and is pretty quiet unless you take her away from other
horses. I do not think she has ever been ridden or could be
at this point. She really just needs a loving home where she
could be spoiled to make up for the suffering she has endured.
Because of her condition, she does need a stall or shelter
and blanket for the Winter. She is very sweet with people
but I think can be a bit dominant with other horses.

Chevy
Silverado


Chevie Silverado - he made over $300,000 and
raced mostly out east. He is at ASAP
11 year old out of
Cole Muffler. Born at Cottonwood in Illinois- raced all over
the nation, winnings of over $300,000. This horse has a heart
of gold and that is why his current owner is seeking a good
retirement for him. Located in Illinois. He does have arthritic
in his front left ankle, he would make a light riding horse
and a great friend. . Chevy Silverado was retired due to a sore
ankle but is sound in the pasture at the walk trot and canter.
He is nervous when transitioning and does not like to be alone
- does best with a pasture buddy.Contact ASAP for more information
at 608-689-2399, or by email asapinc@mwt.
Well thanks to our volunteer, Amy (a high school student who
loves to ride), we were able to saddle up and Amy rode Chevie
on Saturday. Chevie is such a sweet horse. He stands rock solid
when you go to put the saddle on - won't twitch a muscle. He
is so very smart. Amy got on him in the small turnout first,
with no issue. She then took him to the indoor arena and the
round pen and he did well. He was calling out for his mares,
of course, but still was obedient. She was last riding him in
the large turnout area (about one acre) and he had the most
stunning run-walk I have seen since Star Cheetah was here! It
was beautiful to watch and, Amy reports, wonderful to ride!
We are hoping now that he is going to have some time under saddle
that he will find a home soon. Susan

Missile Mike



(from foster home) He's pretty good on it but
Dondi warned us that no one over 150 lbs should ride him. My
farrier echoed that too, it would put too much stress on it.
We have his brace that goes on it. He also hasn't been ridden.
He much more confident with women to men and he absolutely loves
kids. If he sees children he will walk right to the fence and
put his head over for them to pet him. He came right up to a
very autistic boy that came for therapy riding 2 weeks ago.
back in program. Currently in Illinois

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!!! :)

rides. He enjoy trail riding and doesn't spook. He is not for
a beginning rider but an intermediate to experienced rider would
do well on him. Larry can be dominant in a herd. A very beautiful
horse that is very easy to be around. He is an easy keeper,
loads, does well for farrier.

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!!!

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.

Zeus
(4yr)
 
Thoroughbred
gelding. One of two horses that were rescued by a woman in
Minnesota. She says this about Zeus, "He is sound for
pleasure riding only. He is young, but not spooky at all and
fairly well broke. Zeus actually has a crooked hind leg, which
causes him to bear weight funny. When he was in training,
both of his hocks filled with fluid and he did this funny
skipping thing. At the moment his legs look really good as
he has been in the pasture since July." UPDATE
(10/15): I had the vet out and he examined Zeus.
Here is his assessment. He at one time was either born
with, or later broke his right rear hock. He suspects
it was broken. It is healed now. I told him he
runs jumps bucks etc . But it is a worry about him falling
at any gait. A friend is here at the farm who rides and he
thought about getting up on him bareback but he is just too
tall. Update from foster family (1/4/06): "He
is such a cutie. Very tall, at least 17.2 (a BIG boy) and
quite an exceptional horse. He is a beautiful mover. He has
been ridden and he did fine, pretty green but not nutsy under
saddle. However, we stopped riding him because of the way
he carries his hock when under saddle. His left hock begins
to bow out, quite odd looking, and looks like it is about
to collapse." Update (3/20/06): Zeus
continues to gain weight and do well in his current foster
situation. Although he has never been at the ASAP farm, what
Mary has done with Zeus is commendable. He is still in Minnesota
and gets around well and looks healthy. He is waiting for
the right companion home as a pasture pal - there is a possibility
he could be a light riding horse but vet recommendation is
necessary to determine this. Special thanks to Emily his placing
owner who has been following his progress as well as to Mary
S. in Hampton Minnesota for her dedication and hard work with
Zeus.

Brandy
 
Current
owner states, "Brandy's lameness is really only apparent
when the ground is frozen. the vet out to look at her and
she has some arthritis above her hooves in the front. On days
where it is rough out, her lameness if definitely apparent
but on days where there is snow to walk on or the ground is
not frozen, then she is fine. For those reasons, we think
shoes and pads might just be the answer for the cold months.
The vet said the rest of her joints are all in really good
shape so this seems like something that can be corrected or
worked with. I also have her on Cortaflex too which helps.
It is something that will need to be addressed but it is no
way makes her useless. She just has days where she is sore.
The vet did not say to restrict her action or anything like
that. Hope that is a better explanation. I also have the write
up the vet did 2 weeks ago for anyone who wants it."
UPDATE (5/22): Brandy continues to thrive
with the day campers who come to the ASAP farm. She
is walking better than ever now, without shoes. She
is aided by a wonderful farrier who believes in natural hoof
trimming and has helped her to the point where she no longer
needs shoes. She is happy and the pinned ears and open
mouth have all but disappeared. We are proud to say
Brandy is very happy at ASAP but the right person could win
her over - come and see if you are the one! Brandy is
being ridden on a regular basis with a hackamore and goes
both bareback and under Western saddle. She has never
offered to buck, rear, or do anything and is a perfect riding
horse

Arne
(8yr)
 
light
riding horse and/or companion horse
Update
(10/12): When Arne's little
buddy, Bennie, opened the first card with a note from and
photo of Arne, he kissed it and carried around all day! Update
(10/4): Arne has a buddy! Arne wants to joyously
report that: " A four year old boy from California has
committed to helping me by sponsoring me for the next six
months. We are anxious to start communicating with each other
through pictures and letters. $30 a month will pay for a half
a bale of good hay for me to eat.....I am so grateful that
this boy cared so much for me that he picked me to love and
care for! Look for updates in the next couple of weeks as
we share pictures and letters with all of you too!" Loved,
Arne. Bay gelding - won $50,000 as a pacer - retired in
2000. Arne is an UNBELIEVABLY HANDSOME 17 hands high. His
left hind leg has a calcified and enlarged hock and though
he is trained to saddle, he's mainly a companion horse. Sweet
as sugar! Arne is just a big sweet TEDDY BEAR!
