Lucy - Standardbred Mare Needs a Home

I have a horse I can no longer keep. I have done everything I can
to find her a new home, but have been unsuccessful.

Currently she is healthy, but I am in need of finding a home for
her as soon as possible. I would love to tell you more about her.

Please let me know if you can help.

We are located in Pembroke, MA.  Lucy is a 17-year-old Standardbred mare.
I rescued her from a shelter at 4-years-old, and she hasn't been ridden much since then.

HISTORY:
1994 - 1998: Show Horse
1998: I rescued from a shelter (gait imperfect)
1998 - 2004: Kept at horse ranch with 7 or 8 other horses & a goat
2004 - Present: Pembroke. She's kept in a large corral. Turn her out onto the grounds (1.3 ac) often.

Had a pony companion for a few years. She's been alone for about 2 years.
Due to construction there is little pasture here so I keep her on hay & feed year round. 15hh.
Fairly sound with those whom she is familiar. Somewhat sound around strangers. Good with neighborhood noises & large sounds. Far from bomb proof. Very obedient for handling & grooming. Has never bucked, but when attempting to ride her she would book forward for the barn. Well fed but not current on routine maintinence ie. vet care, farrier, teeth floating etc. Otherwise healthy. No tattoo. Sire line unknown.

Sumi - 2-Year-Old TB Needs A Home

Sumi (pictured above on the right) is a 2-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, probably 15.2h right now........will probably top out at 16h. Big bodied, good bone and proportionate feet.

He's chestnut with two white hind legs and a big  white blaze. Turns out with anyone, not an Alpha, does not bite, strike, or  kick. Good for the vet and blacksmith. Trailers well.

Sumi was born and raised  on our family farm in South Deerfield, Mass. He is a great guy, and very  pretty, but was born with a funny leg. It has a bow in the outside of his  cannon bone (hind). When this boy was just three weeks old, we sent him to  Rochester Equine to see if there was anything to be done. Dr. Myhre  implanted a couple of screws on the outside of his growth plate to encourage  growth/counterbending of that leg. To date (he's now almost 2) it has slowly  started to straighten, but I don't think it'll ever look "normal".  Soundness has never been an issue, and amazingly enough, this horse totally  tracks up when he's trotting. We started early breaking (lounging, intro to  tack, weight on his back) this past summer, and he was just wonderfully  accepting of it all:-).

I have tried and tried to find this fellow a home,  but people are really turned away by his funny leg. We breed for race and  sport, and since this horse has no place in either of those worlds, I am  forced to either move him along, or have him put to sleep. It seems like  such a shame to euthanise a perfectly useable and friendly horse, simply  because he was born with a blemish. I am feeling really  quite desperate at this point, and hoping beyond hope someone can give him a home.

Callie - 2.5 Year Old TB Needs A Home
Posted by

Calliope, as I’ve named her, is about 2.5 year old, bailed from Camelot 11/10. I was told he was TB, my farrier and vet say TB cross. She is a 14.2 h petite bay filly with a small star. No formal training, but is easy to work around and loves to be groomed. She does pretty well for the farrier and vet, but is still a bit unsure. She is up to date on shots and farrier work and has a current coggins. She has no bad habits or stall vices that I know of, and she has lived in a run in since she has been with me. She is a bit mareish around my gelding and pushes him around, but isn’t really mean, I have no idea how she’d be with other mares or in a larger herd. I was told she came from a field in Va with a few other yearlings, but know nothing else of her history.
I am not looking for money, just a good safe home with references. She is located in central Maine. Thanks.
