We just love these pics of Junebug and her new best friend, Madison!  Congrats on your new forever home, Junebug!

 

Junebug

Junebug came to TBAR as a result of an abuse case. Her companion did not survive, but Junebug fought to live. She is a sweet horse that deserves the love and tender care that her new home will give her for the rest of her life.  The scars on her body are evidence of her ‘life experiences’, but Junebug’s forever home can see her inner beauty and survivor’s Soul.

Breed: Paint/Pinto  Gender: Female  Age: Young  Status: Adopted  Description: Paint filly, halter broke, leads, stands tied, loads in trailer..LOVES to be scratched and petted.

Band Aid was born to Boo Boo shortly after arriving at her True Blue Animal Rescue foster home in 2010. Now approximately 1 year old, she would love to find a forever home along with her mama. By nature, mini donks are sweet, gentle, playful, and love human attention. They are easy keepers, get along with other animals, and are fun to have around.

 

 

 

 

 

WinsBlack Fury is a 3 yr old Welsh/Shetland pony gelding.

 

 

 

 

 

Boo Boo was rescued along with 15 other mini donkeys when the Sheriff’s department found them wandering the streets. Shortly after arriving at her True Blue Animal Rescue foster home, she gave birth to a baby girl named Band Aid (Spring 2010). By nature, mini donks are sweet, gentle, playful, and love human attention. They are easy keepers, get along with other animals, and are fun to have around. They would love to be adopted together if possible. She is used to being handled and being led with halter or rope.

When Dreamcatcher first came to TBAR he was so skinny his knees wobbled.  Currently, DreamCatcher’s foster home reports that he has put on ALOT of weight, and that his top line has filled out nicely. He has a bit of a “hay belly” and no chest or butt yet, but nothing a little more exercise can’t cure. He leads well, is good for the farrier, and is doing well lunging in the round pen. He also enjoys a good bath, and loves attention. We haven’t tied him yet, we realized today, but we will try it out. He is still a little wary around strangers at first, but warms up quickly. We plan to pony him a little this weekend, see how he does with a group, in a new setting and how his feet hold up. They appear to be good and hard, but his heels were short and are growing out now.

 

 

Fancy is a yearling filly, halter broke

 

 

 

 

Gypsy was an estray and when no owner claimed her, she was awarded to TBAR. She is now healthy and ready for adoption. Gypsy was ridden previously and just needs a refresher.

 

 

 

Hemmingway was wandering estray in a neighborhood and was extremely skinny. The authorities looked for an owner and when no one came forth to claim him, TBAR was awarded Hemmingway.  This older, 25 yr old horse is skin and bones but has already put on weight in his short time with TBar.  Slowly and surely, Hemmingway will be restored to full health.  His long white mane goes down to his shoulder and he has a wonderful, engaging personality. He loves cookies!

 

This young filly is learning what it means to have the type of care where she can trust in humans. She is now looking for her own family with which she can form a special bond.

 

One of 27 malnourished horses seized in Wood County, she is now healthy and ready for adoption.

She is timid with other horses and is fine with dogs, cats, donkeys and goats. She is great with people and loves kids.

Steve was seized as a 4 year old stallion in late 2006 – at the time he was wild and untouched.  At his first (and only) foster home he was gentled, castrated, and put into ground-work training – a couple months later he was started under saddle at a Ray Hunt clinic, and went on to be a great versatile trail mount, winning 2 competitive trail competitions in 2007.  The rider went on to interests outside of trail riding with other horses, and Steve has basically been turned out on pasture for the past 3 years. He has excellent ground manners, wonderful feet (never worn shoes), is an exceptionally “easy keeper” (never fed grain, and always fat) – he has a stocky build, very correct conformation, and good bones – he has never had a lameness issue and held up to heavy daily riding.   He is a fast learner and quick to please. The next home for Steve requires a handler/rider that is smart, consistent, and capable. 

 

Storm was born a few months after his Mom was rescued from a starvation situation along with 26 other horses. Little Storm is available for adoption along with his mom.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Terra was awarded to TBAR in a neglect/cruelty case. She has put on significant weight and is now ready to be adopted as a companion animal. She is a sweet mare that would look beautiful in your pasture. She would be a perfect companion for a young family or older person.

Description: Sirius and Cara are companions who have been together for 10 years and would like to be adopted together. These horses are great to be around.  Both are gentle and would make good pets for young children.  Both are broke and it would seem that they have been seriously ridden in their earlier years because of the bridle marks across the nose of each.  These horses are not pushy and tend to stay out of troubles way — like from larger horses.  They have been ridden recently are not subject to bucking or acting up.  Really, they are very sweet – probably Sirius is more apt to come to you before Cara but both are right there wanting attention.  Would trust them with children.   They stand very still for the farrier.

Geronimo has been ridden in the past, but has been out to pasture for awhile, so will need a refresher course. He requires an intermediate to experienced rider. At his current foster home he is in a herd of miniature horses and donkeys and gets along fine with them. He in fact acts like the daddy. He will wait to be put up until he is sure that all the little ones are snug and warm in their beds for the night. He has good ground manners, but you might have to remind him to pay attention to you. When he is in a new situation, he likes to look around before you can get his attention. He is laid back under halter, easy to catch if you do not show him the halter but run your hand up his neck with the rope. Once you put the rope around his neck, he will lower his head for the halter.  Once he has been retrained or refreshed, he will make a great trail horse or anything his adopter would like to do with him. He is stocky, agile and beautiful. Showing the grace of his breed   Granny, Sassy and the donkey Tonto were rescued together. Granny was extremely emaciated and was still nursing her 3 year old baby, Sassy. Granny is now healthy and at her ideal weight. She is ready for adoption.     Izzy was a Texas A & M polo pony. She fractured her cannon bone and although she is healed and isn’t lame, she cannot be used for polo anymore. She’d make a great kids lead line or walk only horse. She’s well trained and very sweet. As you can see she’s very tall!

Gracie was days from death when she was rescued. Your support bought her TLC in the form of healing foods, veterinary care, and lots of attention. 8 months later, Gracie was healthy again and found her forever home. T-Bar couldn’t do this important work without you and your support. All donations go directly to the animals!

Gracie’s Story:

Description: Gracie was donated to TBAR and is emaciated. Her body registered a 1 on the Henneke Body Scale – as low as it gets. She’s only 2 years old and has been starved most of her short life. She has to be given food slowly because she doesn’t know that she will never go without food again. (picture taken at her previous home)  

Update: April 14, 2008: Gracie has put on a lot of weight and her winter coat is shedding out in chunks! It’s hard to catch her with her head up, she’s eating all the time. Thanks to your support, Gracie is getting the care and feed she needs to get back to health!

Update: October 1, 2008: Look at Gracie now! She’s beautiful, happy and healthy and ready for a forever home!

November 2008: Gracie and Valentino were adopted together! Thank you!
