Shesa Shiny Olena aka "Molina"
Shesa Shiny Olena or as we call her Molina is 21 year old Quarter horse mare that came to us in March of this year as part of a neglect case. Molina enjoys human attention and will greet us at the gate. Molina is older and due to the long term neglect she experienced, she has some hind quarter weakness. Even through Molina will need time to fully heal, she seems in good spirits and has been a joy to have around. Molina is close to 16 hands and is a dominant mare by nature. She knows her height and will assert herself over other horses. Molina is looking for a home where she can retire and spend her days grazing in a pasture. Milena is up to date on vaccinations, deworming and had her teeth floated in March.
Strait Docs Frost aka “Atlas”
Strait Docs Frost aka “Atlas” is a 14 year old quarter horse gelding came to us in March of this year as part of a neglect case. Atlas had sever overgrown hooves which caused him pain and discomfort. Over the last few months we worked diligently to rehabilitate Atlas and ensure he won’t have lifelong lameness. Even though Atlas hasn’t had a lot of training or handling in the past, he enjoys being scratched and shows signs of wanting human interaction. Overall, Atlas is comfortable around people but will need training thus an experienced home is a must. Atlas is up to date on his vaccinations and had his teeth floated in April. Due to the severity of his neglect, it is not recommended that Atlas be ridden until he has been cleared by the veterinarian and he no longer has any sensitivity when walking.
Easter

Easter does suffer from possible Stringhalt which prohibits her from being ridden. Easter is looking for a retirement type home where she will spend her years on large pasture and has freedom to move around. Easter is up to date on vaccinations and had her teeth floated in March 2024. Easter does have hard time with keeping her hind legs up during trims therefore will need a patient home with a patient farrier. Easter is not a bossy mare and will gladly keep her distance and let other horses run the herd.
