Horses' Haven

companion horses

BOB
Breed: Quarter Horse     Sex: Gelding      Foaled: 2003        Age: 18       Height: ~15hh
Limitations: Stringhalt in his hind legs, best suited as a companion

Bob is absolutely beautiful!  He has been ridden in the past but due to the issues in his hind legs it was determined that he should no longer carry a rider.  He is pasture sound and enjoying his retirement.  Bob has lived with mares and geldings in the past and gets along well with everyone.  He was used to being stalled at night but is doing great outside full time.  He prefers a step-up trailer for traveling and is well behaved for the farrier and vet.





CASEY
Breed: Grade          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 1985        Age:  36          
​
​
Casey and her two sons, Moses and Joey, came to Horses' Haven near starvation from Animal Control in 2008. She was a wonderful mother and will take care of any youngster.   Moses and Joey are both happily adopted out.  Casey would love to have a home of her very own too.




​
DREAMER
Breed: Arabian     Sex: Mare      Foaled: 1999        Age: 22     Height: ~14.2hh
Limitations: Some arthritis in left shoulder, pasture sound

​Dreamer is a sweet mare looking to find her forever home.  She tends to develop close friendships in the pasture and will ignore the rest of the herd.  She is happy to say hello to visitors, loves attention and property walks with her grooms.

​
FAITHFUL
Breed: Appaloosa     Sex: Mare      Foaled: 2/20/2002      Age: 19      Height: ~15hh
Color: Chestnut blanket appaloosa
Suitable for:  Companion
​Adoption Fee: $350

Faithful is a registered Appaloosa that is an absolute joy to be around.   Back in her youth she received training at Findlay University through their horse training program, caught on very quickly and turned into a lovely trail horse with a solid foundation.  During a very brief riding evaluation she exhibited soreness in her back and could not carry a rider comfortably.  She has been given a couple of weeks off to see if it was a temporary issue however there was no change and we feel that she is best suited as companion only.   She is pasture sound and moves around just fine, she is only uncomfortable with weight or pressure on her back.   On the ground she has excellent in-hand skills, listens well to the handler and has all the basics down to make a fun showmanship prospect.  Faithful is such a friendly mare who loves attention and has been very nice with the other mares in  her pasture.  



​
FANCY
Breed: Quarter Horse/Arabian cross          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 1994        Age: 27          Height: 14.3
Limitations/Maintenance: Missing her right eye, this makes her a little reactive on her right side.  We are working towards easy handling of back hooves, she has come a long way and will now pick up all feet but must be a little cautious.

Fancy was an owner surrender.  She had been ridden and shown in her youth but had several years off of work prior to coming to Horses’ Haven.  Fancy has been learning Showmanship through our Groom Team Program and won first place at our first Horses’ Haven Showmanship Show! Once she was solid with her in-hand skills she was evaluated for riding.  Fancy had no issues with being tacked, lunged and ridden.  She has a very sweet personality and loves human interaction. 



​
FANDANGO
Breed: Quarter Horse/Arabian cross          Sex: Gelding         Foaled: 2003        Age: 18          Height: 15
​

Fandango is a beautiful gelding, gets along well with other horses and enjoys spending time with his grooms.  He can be anxious away from his friends and in new surroundings but with a calm and patient handler he does very well in ground work, both lunging and in-hand.  He is sound and has been ridden in the past but we found that he would much prefer to be a pasture puff.  Fandango would make an excellent companion for any gelding, he gets along well with his pasture mates and tends to be lower ranking.


​
HANDSOME
Breed:
Quarter Horse          Sex: Gelding          Foaled:1984         Age: 37          Height: 14.3hh

​Handsome and his gorgeous flowing mane joined us at Horses' Haven in March 2010. Handsome spends his days caring for his blind companion Wilma. He even lunges her several times a day with an invisible lunge line!




​
LACEY
Breed: Quarter Horse   Sex: Mare     Foaled: 1999        Age: 22     Height: ~15hh 

​Lacey was never trained to ride and has been a pasture puff her entire life.  She really enjoys interacting with people and gets along very well with her pasture mates.  She is currently working on her in-hand skills, she is very smart and willing to learn.  Lacey would make a lovely companion for any mare who needs a friend.  





MISS BELLE RAE
Breed: Belgian Draft          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 2000        Age: 21 
Limitations/Maintenance:  She was recently diagnosed with shivers and weakness in her right hind.

Miss Belle Rae came to us from a rescue in Illinois who was downsizing.  On the ground she is as sweet as pie, very easy to handle and loves being groomed.  She gets along well with her pasture mates and you couldn't ask for a calmer or sweeter horse. 



​
NASH
Breed: Thoroughbred           Sex: Gelding          Foaled: 2015        Age: 6       
Limitations: Nash had an old significant injury to the right hind cannon bone.  X-rays have shown that the bone healed well but the scarring may affect his gait.  He is pasture sound but unsuitable for riding.

Nash came to us through a partnership with a rescue in North Carolina to help him find his forever home.  He is an easy going guy who is sweet, quiet and gets along well with his pasture mates, often playing halter tag and racing across the field with them.

NORA
Breed: 
Thoroughbred          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 2010         Age: 11          Height:  16.2hh           
​Limitations/Maintenance: Nora is currently being treated for cankers in her back hooves. 
Adoption status: Currently not available for adoption until her medical issues are resolved.

Nora (Northern Tour) raced locally for 4 years before being retired to be a riding horse.   Nora arrived at Horses’ Haven with a severe injury to her right knee which took many months and a trip down to Rood and Riddle equine hospital in Kentucky for surgery.  Surgery was successful and she was on her way to recovery. Once she was fully healed she began her rehabilitation to gain better mobility. Nora was then approved for work under saddle and we’ve had a few amazing rides on her.  She is very easy to groom and tack, lunges well and is a very willing horse under saddle. ​

RAZZY
Breed:
Saddlebred          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 1994        Age: 27     

​Razzy was the pride and joy of our founder, Barbara Baker. Barb bred and raised Razzy as her Saddleseat show horse, and boy did Razzy prove she was good at her job! Razzy traveled the country showing with Barb and other trainers, pulling in the ribbons. Around age 7, Barb decided to retire Razzy and commit herself wholly to rescue work. We cherish our Razzy and recognize how much Barb loved her, it would take a very special someone for us to adopt her out.




​
REDDY
Breed:
Thoroughbred          Sex: Gelding         Foaled: 1994         Age: 27         Height: 15.2hh          

​Reddy (formerly known as Ready or Not) originally came to us as one of the Davison Rescue horses in 1998. Due to a life change for his owner, Reddy has returned to us after being adopted out to a loving home for the past 17 years. He is an excellent companion who loves to play and is often caught in a rousing game of halter tag with his friends.




​
SASSAFRASS
Breed:
Quarter Horse          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 1998        Age: 23  
       

Sassafrass came to us as an owner surrender and presents with arthritis and Cushings.   She was shown back in the day and still has nice showmanship skills.  During the 2019 Horses' Haven Open House she was awarded first place in our in-house  showmanship competition.  Independent and easy to handle she  would make a nice companion for another horse who works or shows, as she does not get overly attached.  




​
SPOT
Breed:
Appaloosa          Sex: Gelding           Age: mid 30s       
​
​Spot came to Horses' Haven after being left alone when his owner was admitted to a nursing home. Spot was ridden in his younger years, but it has been a long time since he has had consistent human interaction. He is currently working on remembering his ground manners and learning how to be a member of a herd.

 Quarter Horse     Sex: Mare      Foaled: 2007      Age: 14     Height: 14.3hh       Color: Black/brown, blaze
Suitable for: Advanced Beginner, light riding, or Companion
Limitations: Bowed front legs, arthritis


Willow is such a sweet mare, has had  western training prior to coming and is nicely trained under saddle.  However due to her bowed front legs she has developed arthritis and is no longer sound enough for riding.   Willow is pasture sound and would make a wonderful companion.  She has very nice ground manners, ties well, is easy to handle, gets along well with her pasture mates and loves attention.

WINNIE
Breed:
Pinto          Sex: Mare          Foaled: 1998       Age: 23          

​Winnie is a very flashy girl with her splashy white markings. When she arrived in 2009, her scarred legs told a long story of neglect and abuse, which also unfortunately resulted in the removal of one of her eyes.   She has a sweet gentle nature in the pasture and is working on her in-hand skills.

​Zephyr is one of our Davison Rescue mares.  She is pasture sound but due to an old stifle injury she has retired from riding.  In the pasture she tends to be a lead mare and gets along well with her herd.  Zephyr is ready to find her forever home as a companion for another mare.
