Bold Hand

 

Bold Hand is a stallion from the original Nebraska Seven, that was saved from slaughter.  I thought he had found his "forever" home, but was mistaken.  Bold Hand was thrown away, pure and simple. He is a sweet stallion with impeccable papers. I thought his person cared about him, but that was not to be. Bold Hand is seeking a "forever" home that will appreciate his affectionate nature.  Bold Hand prefers women, probably due to the fact, the abuse was from a man.  He is a registered APHA paint, with some tremendous blood lines.      By the way  Bold Hand supports a very nice handlebar mustache!!

This sweet stallion has a weak spot-children.  Preacher loves children and will do anything for their attention.  He has put on more weight, but will never be a fat boy.  We are looking for a special home for Preacher, someone who understands stallions and appreciates Preacher for his willingness, great disposition, mild manners, and his eagerness to please, even if a little girl has a choke hold on him, while smothering him with kisses. 

 

 

Preacher comes from a well bred family, Raffles among them.  Preacher is a little over 14 hands and can be handled by adults and children.  Yes, he is a stallion, and he knows it, however, he understands that he can look, but not touch. He gets along well with other horses and is not pushy.   

Tank

Registered name: Quincy Jo Baret has a distinguished pedigree.  His papers show: Two Eyed Jack, Quincy Dan, Watch Joe Jack, Tiger Leo, just to name a few. 

We call him "Tank", as you can see by the picture, he is a big boy and he still has weight and muscle to go.  He is standing next to our Dodge one ton dually, and the saddle is NOT a kids saddle.

He was born in 1999,  and is registered through the AQHA.  He was used mainly for showing, but passed first level Parelli.  He has always worked off the Parelli halter and never had a bit in his mouth. 

He has been saddled, but not ridden very often.  He is willing to learn, and expects  you to give him the information he needs. A little refresher course, and/or reining, by someone light of hand, could turn this  boy into a contender.

He has the potential and the size for ranch or Rodeo and is very quick on his feet.  He loves attention and affection and is willing to learn. 

If you are interested in a a great registered gelding with unlimited potential, here is your chance. He will be listed on several of the Equine sites, as well.  The chance to own a super horse, teamed with the right companion would be a great pair.

Don't let his lack of finishing fool you. 

The picture of Tank is in his wooly winter coat, he sheds out a nice golden sorrel.

BLUE DUSTY

One of the Nebraska 7,   AQHA#4042028 ( Poco Bueno, Red Dog, Three Bars and more)   one of the Nebraska Seven Rescue, Blue is 7 years old.  She is a registered AQHA mare out of good stock.  She has not been handled very much, but would come around with some attention and a little dedication. 

She is a beautiful Smokey Buckskin with a fine build.  An excellent  chance to own a fine mare at a very reasonable price, due to her need for training.

Tequila   

One of the Nebraska 7 rescue, we were told he was a 3 year old stud, however, it is obvious someone forgot about a castration.  Tequila learns quickly, even though he had not been handled. He is beginning to enjoy human company and will make a nice gelding. He is a soft creamy color, from his coloring I would call him a Palamino paint. The markings are just very faint. He has warm brown eyes, that soften with praise and attention. 

He has been haltered and has worn a blanket. He will be up for adoption, when he has gained some much needed weight. He is will to trust if you are the right person for his forever home.

Sultan

Sultan is a 14 year old Polish Arabian gelding.  He is flashy and loves to have a job.  He loves people and attention, but does not play well with other geldings.  Sultan has the ability and mind to learn anything you have in mind, as long as you work with him on a daily basis.  He loves to be working. He has the ability for show, barrels, jumping, western and pleasure. He needs an experienced rider, and he wants to know exactly what his companion wants.  He is not papered, but comes from the AS Nile King line. 

If you want a goer, that can do it all, and be a companion, this is the horse for  you. 

Tyee or Ty  (in Chinook Indian means Chief)

Look at me now!!!

Ty is a little part Arab stud colt that was weaned far too soon.  He was so bony his legs touched.  He had never been handled by humans and was frightened so badly, I feared he would just fall over.  After much coaxing I was able to lead him to our trailer,  It only took one look, by this poor, starving little boy, to see other horses waiting for him and the sweet smell of hay.  He jumped right in.  We are still working to get Ty's muscle tone back to where it would be and, of course, put more weight on him.  He is a pretty little bay with a heart on his forehead.  His best buddy is Talisa, who bosses him around, which he doesn't  seem to mind.

Update on Ty:  Ty has amazed us all.  He was such an underweight, homely little duckling that has grown into a beautiful swan.  You would never imagine that poor little slaughter baby to become such a beautiful yearling.  We are still trying to figure out what color he will shed out.  Ty may have some arabian in him, which would account for the mixture of color.  He if affectionate and love hugs.  He is well mannered and gets along well with the farrier and other horses.

Update

Ty is turning into a beautiful boy.  Soon he will be making a trip to the vet to be gelded.  It is not sure what color he will shed out to be, he has quite a bit of gray underneath his winter coat.  He does have some coloring of a Rabicano.  His gentle disposition and willingness to please makes him a favorite with visitors.  He will be going on two in the next few months and is well versed in halter and farrier.  He will start some training, but will not have any riding until he is three.  He would make a wonderful 4-H horse.
 

Ty's fee includes the gelding fee.  He will be gelded before pickup.

Joy

Joy was bought at auction. Joy is a Hinny.  Her Mama was a Donkey  and her Daddy was a horse. With her little nose and big ears, she  almost looks part Kangaroo!  Joy is learning that humans have good  things to eat.  As you can see, our  dog, Shy, doesn't know what to make of her!

Update: Joy is working hard regain her former figure, as she had been overfed. She holds her feet nicely for trimming, but is still a little shy of people.

Cheyenne

Cheyenne is a 13  year old golden Dun mare.  We rescued Cheyenne from auction, when she was pregnant.  Her daughter, Diamond, has since found a wonderful  home in Omaha. Cheyenne was ridden bare back at the auction without reins or rope. 

This is the first time Cheyenne has been offered up for adoption.  Cheyenne is very intelligent and requires a VERY experienced rider.  Cheyenne is a "thinking mare" who will need a firm hand and daily riding.  She has not been ridden for at least two years. 

It will require a very special person to capture  her heart, but the reward will be well worth the work.  She tends to be on the dominant side, so I would not suggest her for a "pasture pal." However, Cheyenne would do well with one on one attention and her weak spot is her love of juicy carrots.  Anyone with an "attitude" please don't apply.  Cheyenne responds to  "Natural Horsemanship"  techniques. 

Liz

A beautiful, flashy 4 year old Liz sticks out in a crowd.  She is loving and sweet and loves attention.  I have not had a chance to evaluate if Liz has been a saddle horse or just a pasture horse.  We will be working on that in the future.  No matter, with her looks and intelligence, she will learn quickly and soon find a loving forever home.

FAITH

Faith was bought at a slaughter auction.  Her owner said it knew she had problems, but hadn't taken care of it.  I would not let this beautiful little girl go to the kill buyers.  She came home to Break Heart.  We took her, along with Hope, to Grand Island to see what we could do to help these poor babies.  Faith has a slim chance of recovery, although she will never be able to be much more than a pasture pal.  She had special farrier work and a new shoe that will help her walk better.  The real tragedy is that if her owner would have taken her in just a few months before, corrective surgery could have saved the knee and all the pain she was in. 

 

Now time for surgery may have been lost.   Faith is still looking for a miracle.  We have 30 days to see how well Faith responds to her new shoe.  Her knee will never be normal again.  She is a loving filly, that is intelligent and learns quickly.  She has lost any chance at a bright future, but we are striving to give her quality of life without pain.  If the time comes we cannot do that, then we will have to give her the same gift we gave Hope, the right to peace.  Is there a Miracle for this little girl?  Only time will tell us.  She is young and that is on her side.
