ANGEL (formerly Leale) (Arabber) Angel is in her early teens,15.hh Arabian cross mare. She is very fat. She apparently has been trained but just needs to get back into it. She will shy from the mounting block, but if you get a leg up or mount from the ground she is fine. She was an Arabber horse in Baltimore city - pulling vegetable carts. She is out in a field right now, but doesn't have a halter on; she can be hard to catch. She is totally healthy. She would be fine for driving and trail riding. Her feet are not bad - the farrier just noticed that she had a touch of road founder when she first came in. She has been trimmed several times since then and he feels that she will be fine She is also barefoot and has good feet. She has some trust issues, but is well trained once under saddle - just needs brush-up. Requires intermediate or above rider. EMAIL HORSENET ABOUT THIS HORSE Currently in Foster Care

ATHENA 2003 14.3hh Appaloosa mare. She came to HorseNet form the HSUS in October 2010. She was one of the 49 horses they rescued form a neglect case in WV in May. She was malnourished, suffering from overgrown hooves and a parasite infection. These horses had no access to water or food, they were forced to painfully lean across a barbed wire fence to reach for the scarce remaining grass. Athena was very frightened when she came to us, she continues to make progress daily but is still fearful. She would be perfect for an experienced horse owner, that could take the time to train her. She will make a great riding horse or companion horse; a great addition to anyones family. Her training is unknown; we will continue to work with her and post updates as available.

BAILEY 2001 Thoroughbred gelding. Bailey is being ridden consistently and has surprised us with his trot poles and small jumps. He is a very handsome boy and loves people. He has had a tendency to be a bit pushy on the ground; however with the work that he's been doing his ground manners have improved greatly. He is at times fussy for the farrier and being tacked. He does aim to please when it is time to work and rides well with other horses in the field. He is suitable for a knowledgeable and experienced handler, but with some work would be suitable for an intermediate rider.

BLAZE 2005 13h Pony Mare. Blaze is an interesting pony, she can be very sweet one day and very naughty the next. She requires training both on the ground and under saddle. She is a smart pony, but can be difficult to handle. She is currently working on ground manners, and is improving daily. Blaze was born while at HNHR, her mother Blossom was rescued from a WV neglect case in 2005. Her mother was so underweight and feral upon arrival, we were unaware that she was in foal until months later...and then there was Blaze.

CIMMERON 1996 16hh chestnut Thoroughbred gelding.

COCOA (Arabber) 2004 mare that came to HNHR in 2007 along with the herd of 12 Arabber horses. She shows signs of being gaited, and was ridden several times over the summer. She has wonderful ground manners and loves to be groomed and tacked up. Since she was a cart horse, she really does not know what to do under saddle, but that doesn't stop her from trying. She will walk and trot responding to voice commands and a shake of the reigns. She offered to buck when asked for a canter, only because she did not understand, but with the proper training she could be a wonderful horse for trails or easy Western pleasure rides. She will require an intermediate or above owner. EMAIL HORSENET ABOUT THIS HORSE IN NEED OF A SPONSOR Click HERE to Sponsor Me

JAKE Mid-teens 16+hand Belgian Gelding. Jake is a big Belgian with puppy dog traits.
