"2008" Rescues of CMHR

 

Tina - 2008

Tina is approximately 42" 5 years old, outstanding beautiful black Shetland pony who is very intelligent and somewhat high strung and a bit flighty therefore she is not recommended for a beginner. She responds best to a soft spoken person and quiet hand. Tina has been started under harness. Video available on request. She is in excellent health. Tina is located in Durant, Oklahoma  

UPDATE!  A million thanks to the Love family for opening your hearts and home to Tina!


Dixie - 2008

Dixie is a 40" black and white pinto mare.  She is 13 years old and is great about anything you ask of her; loading, tying, clipping, bathing, worming, farrier, vaccinations etc.  She tends to be a little bossy with other horses but is now pastured with Hilda and doing very well.  She came into the rescue foundered but has been stable for a very long time.  She is doing great and would make someone a wonderful pet!  Located in Armada, Michigan. 

UPDATE!  Dixie has been adopted along with her foster sis, Hilda, by a wonderful forever home in Michigan.  Thank you so much Julie!


Hilda - 2008

Hilda is a 40" bay tri colored pinto mare - 16 years old - foundered but stable - Hilda needs a special diet and supplements but is doing really well and is a gorgeous mare.  She is very sweet and kind and would be just perfect for a child.  Hilda is very easy to catch and loves attention.  Located in Armada, Michigan. 

UPDATE!  Hilda has benn adopted along with her foster sis, Dixie, by a wonderful forever home in Michigan.  Thank you so much Julie!


Patty - 2008

Patty is a 40", 12 year old, red dun pony, with a dorsal stripe and shoulder barring. She is believed to be the mother of Lil Dun (see 2008 adoptions). Patty is easy to catch, craves attention, and loves a stall. This girl is slow and moves like a turtle. She's the last one out and the last one in and nothing rocks her world. She enjoys grooming, following you everywhere, and is being started under harness. She is in perfect health.  Patty is located in Durant, Oklahoma. 

UPDATE!  Patty Pony has been adopted!  Many thanks to the Morris family in Indiana for opening your hearts and giving Patty a forever home.


Billy Bob - 2008

Billy Bob is a 33", 9 year old black pinto. Billy had one eye poked out by a mean neighbor that may need surgery in the future to have it removed. He has a thyroid problem that requires Thyroid L medication in his food daily, and he also limps on one back leg, but nothing stops him from running around enjoying life. Despite his troubles, he has a wonderful friendly disposition. Billy Bob really tries hard to please, and let's you pick up his feet, and loves to be brushed and scratched. This little guy is a survivor and deserves a nice home.

UPDATE!  Billy Bob has been adopted by his loving foster mom in Zeeland, Michigan.  Thank you Jackie for giving Billy Bob his forever home!
 



Jasmine - 2008

Jasmine is a beautiful dapple grey mare, between the ages of 6-8. She is quiet and sweet and very trusting. She craves love and attention and is very nice to be around. She is a little nippy but that is being worked out of her at her foster home. Can’t say we blame her as she was starving to death. She is gaining weight and coming along very well. She is about 34-35.” 

UPDATE!  Jasmine has been adopted by a wonderful family in Norman, Oklahoma who has now adopted 3 CMHR rescue horses!  A million thanks to the Gourley's for opening their hearts and their home to Jasmine.
 



Soldier - 200
8

 

Soldier is a sorrel gelding and cute as he can be. He is 4 years old and in the 34-35” range. He leads well, stands tied, backs, whoas, accepts fly spray and cookies very well. He'll follow you anywhere like a puppy.  Not shy or spooky and easy to catch. Lots of potential. He loves Snip. Located in Weimer, Texas. 

UPDATE!  Soldier's foster family has fallen in love with this little man and have decided that they cannot live without him.  Thank you once again to the Gower-Gibbs Family for adopting their 3rd CMHR rescue mini!


Sparky - 2008

Sparky is a red roan gelding who is about 34 inches.  He has come a long way in the short time he has been with his foster mom.  He doesn't like to be alone so a home with another mini will be needed for him.  He is a bit strong-willed in some aspects.  He doesn't really like to be caught, but once you have him, he has very nice manners.  He will stand to be brushed and loves the attention.   He will give you his feet and you can mess with his ears too.  He ties without pawing and will load in a trailer.  His foster mom has started ground driving him and she plans to teach him some horsey tricks too!   If you have a mini who needs a companion and would like to give Sparky a forever home, please contact CMHR today!  Sparky is currently being fostered in Durant, Oklahoma. 

UPDATE!   Sparky has been adopted by Duanne and Julie in Georgia.

 


Little Dun - 2008

Little Dun is a pretty little dun colored mare. She measures in the 36” range. We think she is a 3 year old and we will update when we learn her exact age. She is shy and gaining confidence daily in her foster home. Located in Durant,Oklahoma.

UPDATE!   Little Dun has been adopted by Sherry in Oklahoma.
 


Snip - 2008

Snip is a fancy sorrel 4 year old gelding. He is in the 34-35” range. He leads well, stands tied, backs, whoas, accepts fly spray and cookies very well. He'll follow you anywhere like a puppy. Not shy or spooky and is easy to catch. Lots of potential. He loves Soldier. Located in Weimer, Texas. 

UPDATE!   Snip has been adopted by Skyler and Kelli in Texas.
 


Diamond - 2008

Diamond is about 35 years young and our very dear senior citizen lady. She is 37” black with 1 stocking and 3 socks and a snip on her nose. She has cataracts and no teeth so she cannot eat hay; she eats a special combination of mush 4 times a day. She will probably remain with her present foster home to live out her remaining days, but we are still open to review your application for her if you are in a warmer climate.

UPDATE!   Diamond has been adopted by a wonderful family in Durant, Oklahoma.  She will be in a warmer climate to weather the winter and will be a pasture mate to another geriatric mare who needed a buddy.   Thank you so much to Kitty Campbell for opening your home, yet again, to a CMHR rescue!
 


Ben - 2008

Ben is 34” palomino gelding. He is a little difficult to handle but once he is haltered he settles right down nicely and is becoming more friendly by the day. Ben needs a soft spoken low keyed home because he does get a little tense around loud people.

UPDATE!  CMHR would like to thank the Hidalgo family of Oklahoma for opening their hearts and barn to Ben! 



 
Molly- 2008 

Molly is a beautiful bay mare, who is a complete love and stands approximately 35-36” and about 15 years old. She has foundered in the past but is well stabilized and walks with a little bit of a gimp. She is very friendly and loves children. Molly does nothing wrong and we don’t understand why no one has adopted this pretty girl yet! She has been in foster care way too long and really needs to find her forever home. She would make a great companion to anyone or another horse.
 
UPDATE!  Molly has been adopted by a wonderful family in Weimar, Texas.  Molly will be spending her days with Tiger (a past CMHR rescue also adopted by them) along with the two CMHR rescues that they are currently fostering.  Thank you so much for opening your home to these horses!!!
 

Aurora - 2008

 

Aurora is a beautiful black 10 month old filly who will mature as a B size. Just look at this young lady! She is learning basic training in her foster home, loves attention, and she may be eligible to be registered in AMHR. This is the type of horse the judges are looking for in the show ring or who would be just as happy to decorate your yard with her outstanding beauty!
 
UPDATE!  We LOVE repeat business!  Aurora has been adopted by some wonderful people who also adopted another rescue from CMHR last year too!  Their plans are to have a 2 horse driving team with them.   Thank you, Susan and Crissey, for opening your home again!
 

Dante - 2008

Dante is a 7 year old gelding who was lovingly surrendered by his owner.  Dante was adopted by a wonderful family that owns a local feed and tack store in Minnesota.  He is currently being put to work as the store mascot and is loving all of the scratches and attention he gets while guarding the front door!
 


Golden Girl - 2008

This special little lady was saved from slaughter in February.  She is about 25 years old and has just gone to her forever home where she is referred to as their "Little Princess".  Here are the pictures of when she was rescued and how she looks today.  WOW!!!  Many thanks to the Feldman Family!
 


Ripley - 2008

Meet "Ripley".  He is a beautiful four year old gelding with two blue eyes, seen here in his winter woolies.  He was also saved from a slaughter auction.  He needs some TLC but should come around nicely.  If you would like to give this little guy a forever home, please contact us today!  He is currently being fostered in Waverly, Kansas.

UPDATE!  Ripley has been adopted by his foster mom in Kansas!  Thank you Kristin
 


Tiger - 2008

Sultan - 2008

Sultan is an 11 year old silver dapple gelding that is AMHA/AMHR registered.  Sultan was AMHA Western Regional Champ as a weanling and yearling.  Excellent disposition. Great pet or driving prospect.

Feather Duster - 2008

 

Feather Duster is a black gelding about 15 years old and 32”. What a darling little guy Dusty is. This tiny boy is quite the giant of a character and is somewhat spooky due to blindness in one eye. Dusty needs someone who will be fully attentive when leading him and working with him whom he can learn to build a solid trusting relationship with. Located in Brookston, Texas.
 
UPDATE!  Feather Duster or "Dusty" has been adopted by his current foster home who happens to be CMHR's own Jess Freer!  I think it was love at first sight with these two.  Thank you Jess and Shirley!  Dusty is one lucky little man!
