Blake is an awesome all around horse. He’s great on the trail and has the mindset and potential to do any discipline: english, western, dressage. Overall a very easy going and super friendly horse. He traveled to Myrtle Beach this last year, and although he thought the water was going to eat him at first, he learned to absolutely love it after he experienced it touching his feet. At the rescue Blake is one of the go to horses, for advanced beginners on the trail. Blake needs a stronger rider who can make him focus on his job. He’s a strong boy so if he’s got a rider who will let him get away with grabbing snacks along the trail he will certainly take advantage. This is the only reason he is not considered a beginner friendly horse on the trail.
Blake has spent several summers going to Boy Scout camp teaching kids how to ride. In the field, Blake is the middle horse in the pecking order. He’s been trained to pull single or double, but the rescue has not gotten the opportunity to work with him on pulling. Blake came to us in September of 2014 because his owner was an elder gentleman who wasn’t able to take care of Blake as well as he needed. If you’re looking for a horse that’s wonderful but also a little bit of a challenge, this is your guy!

Izzy is a Black Bay Standardbred Cross mare will be able to do almost any job asked of her with a little more work! She spent the summer teaching kids how to walk/trot/canter, tack and handle a horse. She has a level head and a loving personality. Izzy is very willing to learn and loves to work. Her trot can be a bit fast passed at times because she is not sure if she wants to trot or pace, but when a rider with a good seat and quiet hands is on her she will smooth out. Izzy still needs some more miles out on the trail and is eager for riders to teach her. Her ground manners are amazing, and she gets along with every horse in the field.
COST WILL INCREASE WITH HER TRAINING

Fancy - Adopted (2017)

Breed(s): Quarter Horse
Gender: Mare
Age: 2002
Color: Grulla
Temperament: 4
Description: Fancy is a Quarter Horse mare that is a beautiful Grulla color. She is great on trails and in the arena, but can be forward. She has a good walk/trot/canter, with good field manners, but we are working to improve her ground manners. She has a good temperament, and is very trusting even with limited sight in her right eye due to trauma prior to coming to us. She is a horse that wants to please, and has potential to go in almost any direction her rider wants. She has speed and enjoys playing around as a gaming horse, but you can also slow her down if something like pleasure riding is what you would prefer. We recommend her for an intermediate rider because she still needs improvement on her ground manners, and her sensitivity to leg pressure which cues her to move out.
