Photobucket Album

A real nice gentleman, wonderful ground manners and dear to work with. Great family horse. He needs a surgery that would return him to complete soundnesss. Please don't let that scare you, once the surgery is complete you will have a horse that's priceless.

Jazz, Arab / Quarter Horse cross. Mare, 10yrs old

If you would like to save a horse's life... this would be the one..

When she is happy she sticks out her tongue!

She needs and experienced handler for her lifetime home. She plays hard to get under her pain staken body. She is broke to ride but needs some healing time. Jazz came to us with contracted heels 9 months ago. Her hooves have healed and now her body is getting used to the change. Her neck and back were wrenched with muscle knots from her feet been all messed up. She gets massage and tlc to get her though her woes. The process is slow but it's working.

We hope you will take the time to adopt or foster her to perfect health.

For more info, please give us a call. 661-269-2473.

Lefty- Belgium Draft gelding.

"LEFTY"

BELGIUM DRAFT 17 HDS

We've been told he drives carriages but he frankly needs training.

He's large and graceful. His long feathers accentuate his glide as he walks.

DRERC has been able to break through some of his fears from his previous owners. He has a sweet heart who wants to trust but is very careful.

Lefty is looking for a life time home that has a trusting partner. An experienced horseperson who has knowledge of natural horsemanship is recommended.

BULL- Fresian /Percheron cross

Bull is a beautiful mover- Fast, strong and stealthy as a war horse!

17. hds, 12 yr old gelding, weighing in around 1800 lbs or so. He is a carriage horse that we are starting under saddle. A little timid but is coming around with lots of love and trust.
