| ANGEL (formerly
Leale) (Arabber) Early teens,15.hh Arabian cross mare ~ Requires intermediate or above rider 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.

| 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 anyone's family. Her training is unknown; we will continue to work with her and post updates as available.

ATHENA As you can see Athena is a beautiful mare and is currently looking for a home that will accept her as the strong minded mare she is. She would do best in a smaller herd where she can be the boss. She can be unpredictable at times, she will need a lot of patient training. Athena needs someone that she can bond with and will teach her boundaries while providing unconditional love. |

| BLAZE 2005 13h Pony Mare ~ Requires experienced handler/trainer only 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. She is willing to learn and will make a great challenging project for the right person. EMAIL HORSENET ABOUT THIS HORSE *IN NEED OF A SPONSOR* Click HERE to Sponsor Me |

| CHAROLETTE 9 year old roan mare She came to HorseNet in May 2010. She was one of the 29 horses rescued from a horrible abuse case in Garrett County. When she arrived she was under weight and infected with intestinal parasites and lice, but after a lot of treatment and care she is finally recovering wonderfully. Update March 2013: She is a beautiful girl, but is not ready to be ridden at this time. She came from a horrible neglect case, and although she is perfectly healthy and has no limitations, that we know of, we have been unable to work with her due to her extreme fright. She tries really hard to be with us, but the minute we try to catch her she strikes out. She has calmed down considerably from how she was when she initially came to us; at that time she was completely terrified of people. She is very nice in the field and gets along great with other horses; she will follow our volunteers around at arms length, comes when called and will take a treat as nice as anyone, but the minute you reach out to catch her or even to pet her -- the ears go back. On the rare occasions we do catch her she's wonderful! Can she be trained and have a bond with a human? Absolutely! It's just going to take some work to build up the trust...so she will be a project, probably a big project. We would love nothing more than for that beauty to have a home of her own and to feel secure and loved. EMAIL HORSENET ABOUT THIS HORSE *IN NEED OF A SPONSOR* Click HERE to Sponsor Me |

| CIMMERON 1996 16hh chestnut Thoroughbred gelding ~ Suitable for an intermediate rider He would do well in a turn out with appropriate shelter situation - he was kept in a Quarter horse show barn where they kept him inside 90% of the time and he only got outside 15 minutes or so a day.

| DOLCE
2006 +/- 16h Thoroughbred Gelding ~ Advanced Handler Dolce came to HNHR in 2012 when we were contacted by Montgomery County's Animal Control requesting our help with a recent starvation case. Thankfully we were able to help. When this handsome boy arrived he was thin and suffering from severe rain rot. Even in his poor condition he was once of the sweetest horses we have had the chance to work with. There is not one mean bone in this boys body! We are hoping he will not have any limitations and will be a great riding horse. Dolce will be evaluated under saddle soon, we will post updates as available.

| FURY (Forio) 2000 +/- 14h Palomino Halflinger Mare ~ Requires an experienced rider/handler Fury is a beautiful thick girl! This girl needs a lot of work but has great potential to be a cool riding horse. She can be very pushy on the ground, she probably would not be good for a small child.
