Equines's In Our Care
Would you just look at that face! <3 Dexter is a sweet, loving donkey gelding that was surrendered to us (with Charlie, the mini) because his family didn't have the space or resources to properly care for him. His job was to teach the calves to lead by attaching the calf to Dexter and letting him do his thing. He has cellulose deposits and has likely foundered previously so will need a home that keeps his protein intake low and restricts access to fresh, green grass with high sugar levels. Dexter will be up to date on all vaccinations, deworming, farrier care and have a coggins pulled before being available for adoption.
Charlie is an eight year old beautiful chocolate brown miniature gelding. He has been led while giving kids rides but he is not considered broke to ride or drive at this time. He's incredibly smart and respectful of fences. He will be UTD on vaccinations, coggins, deworming and farrier care before being rehomed. If you're interested in a sweet little miniature gelding to teach tricks and to drive then Charlie may be the #RightHorse for you!
"Lord Dante" is a sweet, 17 year old gelding that was saved 2/10/19. We suspect his tale is one of being loved while he was useful but as he aged he was replaced and sent down the road. Dante is now UTD on vaccinations, coggins, farrier care and deworming! He's very easy to get along with and super well behaved for the vet & farrier.
We still have to assess Dante's riding skills - please inquire if you're interested in meeting this sweet guy & would like to request his adoption fee.
"Lady Mischief"
This pretty little Palomino mare was rescued 2/10/19.
She's a super fast learner but is going to spend some additional time with RRM getting more professional handling before continuing her education with whomever adopts her! She is now UTD on veterinary care, coggins & deworming. Lady's farrier appointment is set for March 27th. Please inquire on an adoption fee.

Solitary River (aka River) is a jockey club registered off-the-track thoroughbred mare.

A Tale of 22 Mini's! RRM was called to a home of an ailing elderly man who had bred miniature horses for several years August of 2017. We brought up 3 trailers and were able to bring 22 of the 30 head of horses back with us. We worked quickly to get them farrier and vet care, assess their training and overall condition and needs. God brought forth a family for each mini within eight days! We held onto them a bit longer if needed but it was such a miracle they found their new loving homes so quickly! <3
Abraham came to us as an owner surrender and a history of difficulty under saddle. His foster family fell in love immediately and after he was fully vetted and had farrier care as well as a training evaluation they ended up adopting him! <3 He's the horse of his new mom's dreams (literally!)
