Rescued Horses.......
We have rescued many horses successfully including mustangs, ponies,
and other horses...here are our most memorable...
Red, a rescue out of Oklahoma city. These
are her foundered feet two days after her first
trim. She came with 7.5 inch long hooves. Her
owner rescued her out of a field and we are
rehabilitating her. She is currently unable to
walk more than 8 steps without severe pain.

Not all stories end happily, unfortunately due to
severe seperation of the hoof we lost this sweet
beautiful thoroughbred. The hoof once it
seperates becomes almost impossible to
regenerate without sever pain, discomfort and
trauma to the horse. She is buried on our
property and we are grateful to have had her
presence with us...We will see you in horse

with him and was considering putting him down. We offered 500 for him

aggressive but patient training he learned quickly what was expected of
him. He is now a successful schooling horse, and has been competed
very successfully in competive trail, winning 3rd place in both horse and
horsemanship for all 3 of his rides. He competed in his last trail ride
barefoot. He is also currently being trained in reining and responds

Major
This poa welsh cross was injured as a
young horse and came to us from
Texas. His owner was considering

take him and repair the damage to an
injured fornt hoof. The hoof was sliced
Up the back and thru the bulbs and
coronary band. After a year of
trimming this pony is now finally sound
and being competed successfully in
Dressage taking first place in Jr
Division in his first Show.
A 30 year old arab mare from Texas, a partner in
rescues pulled her out of paddock of about 25
horses to save her from starvation. She was at the
bottom of the herd and wasn't getting any feed.
She could barely walk or trot without running out of
breath. Now she is walk, trotting, and doing some
light cantering for our smallest and beginner
students and has been a great schooling horse.
We hope she stays with us for years to come.
