A Terrific Teacher

Snickers is a "been there, done that" kind of horse. She is safe and good minded and is very willing to form a deep connection with a human she trusts. She has been handled and ridden by an intermediate level, young rider the past year and has demonstrated herself as a good and safe teacher. Snickers has had extensive groundwork, making her a good partner both on the ground and under saddle. Snickers had been "out to pasture" with her previous owner for some time from which she became a little buddy sour. Left to herself, she can become fretful, but with quiet, yet clear leadership she is a focused learner and very sweet partner. Due to strenuous activity in her earlier years, Snickers is best suited for a child or small adult interested in light riding. The perfect trail pony! Asking $750.

I'm a little famous around here for coming to CHR on Christmas Eve 2007 a victim of severe starvation . Our vet said I probably wouldn't make it through the next snow storm. Lots of news people have visited me and I'm happy to say that I've gained 300 pounds and have been able to join the herd in the pasture! I'm a very shy and sensitive gal who responds best to a quiet handler. I'm sound and healthy and have had trainers work with me to prepare me for riding. I accept a saddle, bridle, and rider very nicely. I am learning leg and rein commands to help me be the best partner I can be, as we head out on the trail together. I am very submissive in the pasture and show no aggressive behavior towards other horses so I'd make a super companion for another mellow horse. Available for adoption through Colorado Horse Rescue.

HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL INFORMATION: Green under saddle; shy, sensitive, calm.

I came to the rescue two weeks after giving birth to my sweet baby Rowan. We came here from a ranch in Nebraska where nearly 300 horses were starved. Law enforcement stepped in in time to save me from starvation after a rough winter with little food. I'm a tough cookie with a soft side. They tell me here at the rescue that they like my athleticism, active movement, long, thick tail and liver chestnut coat. I'm glad they like me because I aim to please. Since I'm young and still green under saddle I can get confused, but if you stick with me you'll see that my try, like my heart, is huge. My motherhood duties are complete now and I've integrated nicely into the herd. I'm learning the ropes at the rescue and showing how adaptable and willing I am. If you are looking to make a lasting bond with a generous equine, please consider bringing me into your family. Available for adoption through Colorado Horse Rescue.

Why do they call me Martini? It could be my fun loving, convivial nature. I absolutely love to socialize with people. I also heard that I reminded someone of a chocolate martini because of my unique paint coloring. I don't know what a chocolate or a martini are, so I'll just take their word for it. For being so outgoing I sure do have a mysterious past. I was rescued by animal control after wandering loose and being hit by a car. My previous owner never came to claim me. My injuries were all healed up by the time animal control brought me to CHR and now I'm ready to find a home. I've been working with a trainer and am doing great in my lessons. It turns out that I know quite a bit about carrying a rider, but will need additional training to develop my skills further. Available for adoption through Colorado Horse Rescue.

HEALTH/BEHAVIORAL INFORMATION: Recovered from hind leg injury; can be a little pushy.

There are not words generous enough to describe a horse like Binder. Binder is a 22 year old bay, grade QH gelding. He is as kind as they come, wise and discerning. Binder is an exceptional teacher as he is gracious, willing and very forgiving. This is the perfect horse to build your confidence and share your life with. SOLD. Congratulations to Diane from Louisville, CO.

Charlie is an honest, dependable horse with a huge heart and an excellent mind. He is both patient and willing and therefore is a great teacher. He is a big and elegant mover with a light, ground covering stride. He was on the racetrack in his younger years and then spent time on a working cattle ranch. He is a wonderful trail mount, but is just as content to be with you in an arena. This sweet gelding can't wait to pour his heart out to you! SOLD. Congratulations to Morgan from Denver, CO.
