HorseNet Horse Rescue

Thanks to all the wonderful people who have opened their hearts and adopted a horse from HorseNet. We love to hear how and what they are doing, so if you have a HorseNet horse and would like to send a current photo OR send a short blurb to be posted with your adopted horse's photo, please email those to Beth at b_kokoruda@yahoo.com.

ACE Our Mr. Ace - aka Stripe - has been adopted and will be the first horse to Kristy. Kristy is working on regaining her confidence after a riding accident and Ace is just the horse to do it!

AKITA She was to little for most people, but now has a new family.

AMEE It takes a good rider to handle these two dynamo's and Jayne is just the right size. (Count Victor on left - Amee on right)

ANNABELLE (Renamed Cali - Calypso's Rythm) It's hard to put into words everything I feel about Cali, she is simply unbelievable. As a 15.3 TB, she thinks she is 17.3, with ennui to match. Although I have been in the horse world only a short few years, I don't think I've ever met a horse with such a zest for life. Her energy is boundless, her personality full of light. I've heard you always love the first horse you meet, but never choose them, that it's unsafe to get one that is too much for you, but we've grown together and become so close we can almost read each other's mind and predict the next move. There's that special feeling when I lean my head against her, close my eyes and just stop thinking. Her unique scent, the velvet-furred hugs, the tickling whiskers in kisses. She loves to work almost as much as she loves to eat. She prances for the saddle, her special saddle pad, her I-can-run-through-that snaffle. Every
ride on her is fun, she puts out 110% effort. She has so much to give, cantering and jumping, if you love her. I was an advanced beginner when I first started riding her, probably still am, and she is an intermediate's ride, but makes sure I stay on. She is energetic, powerful, and gorgeous, with a fire in her stride. This new picture is from the 2nd Birthday Ride, which I chose because the goofy pose best displays her attitude towards everything. Cali is intelligent and stubborn, but displays an amazing amount of comprehension, understanding, and affection, showing lots of love towards her family, when it was doubted she'd make a safe first horse. After having led such a fast-paced life so young, she settled down quickly for light riding. Now, she is a pampered princess who likes laughter and singing. Being adorable, she also craves the spotlight, so everyone should stop to watch her. Cali will always be my favorite, my soulmate. She has made a huge impact on my heart and taught me so much in three years. Definitely a game little horse, I love you, my California Girl!

ANNIE This Tennessee Walker is solid and has absolutely perfect manners with the vet and farrier. Annie has been good on the trail, she goes for rides with Holly and definitely wants to be in front. I have found she really likes the water. Annie's has been helping me improve and learn the gaits of a walking horse.

CADBURY (Arabber) Cadbury is named after the candy because he is caramel and white. He wears a lead shank because he is only 11/12 hands -- and had been ridden by a man that is almost 6' tall. The man thought it was good fun - Cadbury now does not want to be caught and has back issues. He is coming around slowly to being caught and trust will return with lots of time and TLC.

CASTLE BAR

CHANCE This sweet large leopard Appaloosa will make his new family a wonderful trail horse. He will also serve as a companion to another rescued horse named Claire, a rescued burro named Francis and a rescued cow named Norman.

CHANCE (formerly named Easter) Here is a recent photo of Chance (aka Easter). Chance is doing well, his arthritis has progressed a little over the past four years. He is now a little arthritic in the rear as well. Chance and my two year old son, Colton, have formed a bond. For as nervous as Chance is my toddler does not make him at all nervous, he is a completely different horse when Colton is present. We can walk into the barn with all ten stalls full and Colton can always pick out his horse on the first try. Chance leans his head over the stall door (just as he's going in the photo) to get a good look at his boy. Colton typically plants a kiss right on his big nose! Chance gets terribly upset and jealous when Colton pets the other horses. I hope we have Chance for a long time so he can teach Colton about the friendship between a boy and his horse!

CHANCE This little black walker is Tara's dream horse and Chance (now named Trigger) is trilled too.

CHARLIE Charlie will be keeping Sophie and Maggie company along with Bid. They will have many wonderful rides and years of retirement to share.

CHEROKEE

CHEWY 6 year old 15.3hh Thoroughbred gelding. Recovered from a slab fracture to the knee and is ready to hit the trails. Very quiet. Cribber. Requires an intermediate rider.

CHRISTMAS Dundee & Christmas are settling into their new stable - they both seem to love their new stalls and new pasture-mates (I love how much closer they are to me). They’re surrounded by beautiful rolling hills with hundreds of acres to ride on so spring will be an exciting time. Until then, their new home has an indoor so we can have practice time. Christmas has been started under saddle and doing fantastic! At 20 she’s proving you can teach an old horse new tricks (and she looks great doing it). I’m very proud of both of them and will send along new photos in the spring when there’s less mud and more of them showing through. Dundee’s & Christmas’ human, Amanda

CORIN

COYOTE Hello! Just thought you might like to see the girls dressed up for the Holidays! On Christmas, the kids all got to ride. Coyote was the star. What a wonderful horse, anyone can ride her. Jubilee is going to take a little more of my time, and I'm still trying to get her more comfortable. I do believe she has a decent case of Navicular and will be getting some xrays to help with corrective shoeing. She is perfect for the kids to pet and brush and as you can see, she will stand all day safely to be "beautified." 15.2hh white paint Quarter horse mare. She should be ridden a couple times a week to keep her in tune. She is sound, and goes Western and English, although she prefers English. She can only go in a hackamore and does not like to be inside (including inside a trailer) - prefers being outside. Perfect for the farrier - Impeccable ground manners. Safe for an advanced beginner, but you muse be calm and confident on her as she responds to the riders feeling more than anything. She foundered sometime in the past, but has no problems from that. Super easy keeper and tends to get fat.

COZY This 12 year old Thoroughbred gelding is a retired lesson horse that has found a new home that loves him dearly.

DAKOTA This appy is a "dream come true" to his new mom Lori.

DANCER This is 8 year old Dancer with her new mom Jane on their first ride together. Dancer drives beautifully and will teach Jane the art of driving.

DANE Dane is 22 years old, quite the character and is keeping Talullah company as she works through her issues.

DASH Dash is a Thoroughbred gelding who couldn't stand being at a school any longer. Jumping just doesn't interest him anymore, but riding on trails is just up his alley.

DENNIS 13 year old 15.3 hand Thoroughbred gelding. Formerly a Children's AA Hunter Jumper, but has since retired from riding due to his failing eyesight. He is such a sweet guy, comes when called.

DEXTER This 14 year old gelding arrived one day and was adopted the next. He is a retired jumper who is looking forward to the easy life with his new person, Dick, and will be joining Sienna and Rio.

DEXTER Dexter will be moving in with Sally and her other horse......he is replacing her endurance horse of many years that recently passed away. He's going to get lots of attention and may be her new endurance horse in years to come Dexter is part of our HorseNet Connects program. 5 year old 15hh blood bay with chrome registered Arabian. Up to date on everything. Has done 1 low level event (finished 5th) trail rides all through Fair Hill and can jump, but when it comes to jumping he needs an experienced rider due to the fact that he gets strong but he will jump from any spot you place him. Sound, easy keeper and barefoot. He would make an excellent endurance horse, jumper or just trail ride. He goes well in groups or by himself. Horse is sound with no limitations. Adoption fee is $500. Currently located in Fair Hill/ Elkton area for viewing.

DILLION Dillon is an Irish Sport Horse that had some pretty severe back problems when he came to us. Our Chiropractic Vet has been working with him to get him to riding status and in the process fell in love with him. He will be catching the show circuit shortly and showing people that he does still have IT!

DIXIE Dixie's new foster mom, Karen, has her foundered hooves virtually back to normal. Dixie's gentle personality has come out around children and small animals; she is very careful with them.

DOREY Here is a picture of my favorite girl Dorey. I can't believe that I've had her for over 2 years Amazing! She is just a ton of fun and never predictable, just like a girl should be. Michelle

DREAMER This 17 year old registered paint didn't even make it to the web site. He came off the trailer and one of our volunteers found him dreamy so she decided to adopt him. Congratulations Michele on your new friend.

DUFFY Duffy will be Ellen's new horse and hopefully will take her eventing.

DUNDEE Dundee & Christmas are settling into their new stable - they both seem to love their new stalls and new pasture-mates (I love how much closer they are to me). They’re surrounded by beautiful rolling hills with hundreds of acres to ride on so spring will be an exciting time. Until then, their new home has an indoor so we can have practice time. I’m told the occasional fox hunters coming barreling through which will be great for Dundee to experience (he was born, raised, & used as a hunter the first eight years of his life until he starting showing in hunter class with his previous owner). I’m very proud of both of them and will send along new photos in the spring when there’s less mud and more of them showing through. Dundee’s & Christmas’ human, Amanda

FAITH (formerly named Furstin) She will be spending her time with Irish Trim taking in the sites of the woods in Baltimore County. Of course, she is on a diet - a see food diet and needs to gain about 200 lbs - but will be ready for the trails after she puts on weight.

GYPSY (mini) Gypsy is enjoying the good life with others her size and lots of attention.

JASPER

JAVA Hi there. Here is a recent photo and update of Java f.k.a. Sundance. He is doing super fantastic. We are so in love with him! He is still the smartest, cutest and most well behaved horse ever (most of the time) I still don't ask alot from him, just a nice quiet trail ride now and then, or a little ride for my daughter (she is in the pic with him) Java seems to be very happy and our vet is very pleased with his overall health. We have been able to keep him "barefoot" but he does have a nice pair of riding boots when we go trailing that he really likes to wear. He is very affectionate and loves as much attention as possible but only from "his people". He still gets a little protective of me and my 8 yr old when strangers are around, but he is not too aggressive with them anymore and does not bother the other humans caring for their horses were we board. We still struggle with cribbing, but the Miracle
Collar seems to keep it under control. He is still the biggest in the field and pretty much at the bottom of command which makes me wonder sometimes, but he seems to be very happy. Java likes his pony brother and has learned to share us with him without incident. We have had to double lock all of the gates and doors because he has figured out how to break into everything. Can anyone say spoiled horse? Anyway, he is so perfect and just the right horse for our family. Thanks for rescuing our "baby" and letting us adopt him :) Take care Dianna Byers and family

JUBILEE Hello! Just thought you might like to see the girls dressed up for the Holidays! On Christmas, the kids all got to ride. Coyote was the star. What a wonderful horse, anyone can ride her. Jubilee is going to take a little more of my time, and I'm still trying to get her more comfortable. I do believe she has a decent case of Navicular and will be getting some xrays to help with corrective shoeing. She is perfect for the kids to pet and brush and as you can see, she will stand all day safely to be "beautified." 14.2hh large pony who has wonderfully petite ears (but she doesn't like you to mention them).

JUSTIN (Renamed Jesse)

KAHLUA

KASPER

LADD Ladd is a sweet little standardbred gelding with arthritis in his knees, he would be best suited as a companion with possibly a little light riding by a child or small adult. In Permanent Foster Care

LADY DI I had a few minutes to relax this afternoon and I looked at the Horse Net Horse Rescue Success Stories and my heart is filled with joy to know that so many wonderful deserving horses have loving homes where they are given good care and loved so completely by their new care givers. I had horses when I was a child from the age of eight to about eighteen and then other things in life took precedence. All my adult life I wanted to have another horse, I wanted to ride and I wanted that spiritual relationship that one can only have with a horse. Finally, in August of 2006, I visited Horse Net Rescue and had no intention of selecting Diabolical Lady (Lady Di) because she was "too old". Well, as
fate would have it, she picked me. She knew she was "the one" for me and so started the love affair that we nurture on a daily basis. Before I purchased her from Horse Net I had Dr. Mike Tanner give her a physical and he told me that I was getting an amazingly healthy and sound horse. Dr. Tanner did a Coggins and also administered her yearly immunizations and Lady Di was transported here to Martinsburg, WV, with me. This past September my vet here in WV met lady Di for the first time because she had to have her yearly immunizations. When I told her that Lady was 20 years old the vet asked me if was sure about her age because the horse just does not look like your typical 20 year old horse. She was obviously given very good care all of her life and it certainly has paid off. The vet even okayed Lady Di for low hunter jumping! Lady and I competed in two horse shows over the summer. Lady & I have eight ribbons and a trophy. Not bad for a 20 year old Thoroughbred and a 59 year old woman! I board Lady at a stable about six miles from my home and I am with her every single day - I am the one who feeds her her grain. I have done lots and lots of reading about the care of older horses and one of the things that I read in every article is the importance of exercise to keep muscle tone. I try to ride twice a week now in the colder weather and also work Lady in the round pen. She is always willing and does anything I ask of her. She looks amazing and moves smoothly and effortlessly. Since the weather has become chilly she is blanketed every evening and I have a heavier blanket for when the seriously cold winter weather sets in. I always wanted a Thoroughbred and can't believe that I have this incredible horse to care for and enjoy. She nickers when I walk through the main gate to the paddock area and knows me by sight. She always comes when called and is usually at the field gate waiting for me when she sees me get out of my vehicle. There are no words to describe the relationships some of us are fortunate enough to develop with our horses. I only know that if she feels for me what I feel for her, I am loved and respected on a level that can't be described - it can only be felt. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Cheryl

LANCE 2000 (approx) year old flashy chestnut TB gelding. Has been off the racetrack for more than two years having come off with a slab fracture of the right knee. It has healed nicely and he is sound for most types of riding (including low jumps only). Up to date on shots and feet (great feet and barefoot). Has had some professional training and did really well when being ridden consistently; Seems to enjoy the ring and the indoor. Has beautiful movement. He is very friendly and loves people, animals and other horses. Lance does not like to stand tied; He will stand for a while and then rear and pull back. He gets very nervous in the stall, so he needs to be on 24/7 turnout with shelter. The last time he was trailered he had a problem with it, but it was a one time event, has not had the problem before, so he might be okay, but he will need some care when being trailed. Lance will stand for the farrier with the help of a bucket of feed in front of him. He has come a long way, but still needs a patient and kind person to help him along. An experienced and kind farrier is also a must.

LARKSPUR Here are the newest pictures of Mary's baby Miss Eclipse, aka Larkspur, taken last night. This gorgeous lady is now 16+ hands. She is as loving as she is huge.

LARRY This 5 year old Thoroughbred gelding just wasn't fast enough on the track, but he will make Dean a wonderful riding horse.

Suitable for an advanced beginner.

MARK Mark and his new mom, Laurie, cleaned up at their first show - They won all their classes except for a second in the over fences and were champions in both divisions, and although she found out he was scared to death of ribbons they will contine to show

MAUDY Our very own Appaloosa Mule. She is as wonderful as she is unique. Maudy has been adopted by Elle as her personal riding mule.

MAUI Maui has been doing great .Right now he is a little bad cause he has been off a lot with the weather and what now but about 2 months ago he was great he was jumping everything perfectly and he wasnt spooking and he was absolutly amazing......as always. A long time ago I could not canter him through jumps because he would just run through them and take off to early and all sorts of stuff and now he can canter a course with no effort at all. I love going out on trails with him he will do almost anything. He is not really fond of bridges but most of the time I can get him to go over them. I am so glad that I got maui from you guys he is absolutly wonderful. He makes me laugh all the time. We will be in the barn and I can just let him walk around or stand there and he will do the funniest things.	See us jumping!

MAX This 22 year old Percheron is keeping Emma company. He was unridden for 10 years so he's pretty much in retirement considering he didn't like it the first time around.

MEADOW Meadow has wormed her way into Bob and Pat's hearts and, as you can see she asks for lots of attention, and gets it!

MESA (formerly Clipper) This is the first horse for Tess. She will be learning how to ride while we are working on some lameness issues. The two will have great times and go on many great rides.

MINNIE Minnie is a clydesdale/TB cross who had her left eye surgically removed several years ago. She needs someone who will give her confidence on trail. She is a very sweet mare that requires an intermediate rider.

MOZART Mozart will be a new addition to Ashley, Devon, Chase and Tommy's herd and will be Devon's new steed.

NEBRASKA Nebraska needs an intermediate to advanced rider that is confident and patient. He has issues with bucking when asked to go into a canter - he doesn't do it all the time, but when he does, he isn't shy about it. The bahavior possibly started from his original training years ago; he was pushed too far too fast. He would do well with someone that let him progress at his own speed and kept him occupied with different things - he would be easily bored. He is basically a good boy, but needs experienced hands that won't cause additional issues because of impatience or lack of understanding. He is willing and has a good personality; definitely not for the beginner. Seems to prefer men and going western.

NELL 1991 (approx) year old Percheron / Tennesse Walker cross mare. Has a slight hip problem, but would make a nice trail horse. Requires and intermediate / confident rider. Currently being Sponsored by Lee & Tracey Meyers - Thanks Lee & Tracey!

NOELLE TB mare, probably in her 20's. She is rideable but needs someone with experience and she may be best suited as a companion with the ability to ride occasionally. In Permanent Foster Care

PEACHES This 12 year old gray Arab mare has recently been broke to ride and will be giving her new owner many hours of enjoyment.

PECOS PETE (Arabber) Pete is about 10-12 years old - a very striking black and white pony who we think by the way he moves is a Hackney. We call him Pecos Pete because of his huge personality - and when you look at him you can see a big black sombrero on his head with all the glitz and glitter. He's quite a character. This little guy has never been trained to ride, only driven. Update March 12, 2008 - We have discovered that Pete is deathly afraid of the farrier. When our farrier went to check his feet he tucked his tail, jumped and started to tremble. Our farrier was able to assure him enough to gain access to his front feet, but his back feet will take some more time.

PENNY This little sweetheart is busy teaching April how to take care of a horse -- April is busy having a great time!

SOONER

SPLASH Woody..........stout, strong and unbending - where to go, what to do... New place - new land - new life -- new name.........Splash.... Reborn of pond -- washing away old life, old worries, old disappointments, old burdens. New life - moving like the waters willing to mold and become one with new partner - earth Mother. Once again a free horse spirit...............Splash.......... 14.2 hand welsh-cross paint pony that is looking for a home where he can be happy again. Splash is an accomplished fellow, but some housing changes proved to be too much for him and his past happy attitude changed - he can now be aggressive on the ground. He will be going through some rehabilitation, but once his behavior issues are under control he will be available to the right home. In the past, he has been ridden 4 times a week, jumped lightly, shown in the walk/trot division and fox hunted. Despite his behavior he remains 100% bombproof under saddle.

SPRITE Sprite was adopted by Paula who has been getting her accustomed to life as a show pony again. This well mannered girl has royal bloodlines, or so, in the Welsh Pony and Cob Society in addition to original Farnley bloodlines. She is a wonderful addition and will be showing at the Maryland State Fair this year and will, hopefully, start showing under saddle next year and eventually be a nice Large pony mount for her 9 year old son Jay. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to adopt Sprite.

TALULLAH (previously named MaryAnne) A challenge for beginning horse owner Tess in every way....this amazing horse has proven to reveal her strength, beauty, and resiliency over tremendous abuses and neglect through the unconditional love, devotion, support, and commitment to her healing on every level. Tess and Talullah started a journey together through Tess' adoption of her in November 2006 and the challenges of comprehension, confusion (mainly Tess') and connection began immediately. By June 2007 she had changed so dramatically she was able to be moved to her new home with Tess and Mesa where the three of them now takes walks daily through a National Park, play hide and seek in the pasture and generally enjoy the company of one another in more and more ways. She has transformed from a terrified, shut down shell of a horse to a radiant, loving, strong willed, beautiful individual who can now be the horse she was meant to be. From Tess: "I am grateful for the lessons, the love, and the honor of sharing my life with two exquisite, strong, wise and beautiful teachers - the journey continues but never ends and I love them completely for the amazing gifts they have brought to my life"

TANGO Tango is wonderful! My daughter has been showing her western pleasure and halter .... she won lots of blue ribbons in Halter Classes! I still trail rider her english occasionally.

We love her she has been a fantastic horse after we worked out her bucking issues!
