Adopted
Since the beginning WMERR has assisted over 250 equines find
new, responsible and loving homes. Below are just a few of our equine
friends placed through the efforts of the organization. They are
now rehabilitated, healthy and thriving after suffering, in some cases years,
of abuse and/or neglect. WMERR works hard to make a difference and puts to use
almost every dollar donated towards the welfare of the animals in our care.
Your support matters!
BELLE:
22 years young, this beauty
is a lot of fun under saddle! 15 hh QH mare, easy keeper, no issues.
Sweet disposition, easy to be around, good with other horses. Ground
ties, mild arthritis, stands quietly for grooming, saddling, mounting
block and mounting. She walks out nicely! She has a good trot and has
energy! Ridden with longer shank snaffle, neck reins.
Intermediate/experienced rider. $350.00 Adoption Fee to approved home.
Current on everything.
SISSY: Are you a true horseman looking for the
"perfect match" in an equine partner? Look no further! Sissy is a 2008
registered QH red dun mare, 15.1 hh. We just cannot say enough good
things about her (If she were a gelding for sale on the open market,
he'd be priced at $3500-$4000). Due to her owners health issues, she
loved Sissy enough to let someone else have the pleasure of owning
her. Sissy came with NO BAGGAGE, responsibly and well cared for with
good foundation training under saddle. She likes people, wants to be
with you and pays attention to you. She does not over react to
anything. Stands quietly for mounting at a mounting block, doesn't move
until asked. Sissy is very intelligent, wicked smart, enjoys doing a
variety of things (clinics, following cattle, trail rides and so
on). She has minimal experience with trail riding, great to ride off
alone, not herd bound. She has good feet and is perfect for the farrier. Videos
under saddle available on request. Teeth floated, UTD on
worming/vaccinations.
PETUNIA: 2005 QH mare, Petunia is a looker! She needs a patient,
confident leader as she has serious confidence issues, can be on high
alert and over react. She loves grooming and attention, is sound, gets
along well with others, loads and trailers well, backs out. She's had
issues with her withers/back, has had regular chiropractic and cranial
sacral appointments. She prefers being ridden in a light weight saddle or
bareback pad. She's had lots of round pen/arena work, and has been ridden
on local trails three times without issue. Has really good
feet. Please understand this mare is NOT for a beginner or novice person,
only true horseman should apply to adopt her.
Lava
Belle: Lava Belle is a 2008 BLM Mustang from Lava Sands, Nevada. She
has lived out of her element in Virginia and North Carolina since she was
a yearling and developed an excruciating allergy to no-see-ums. Her
allergy to pyrethrin is a tragedy! Her owners decided that Lava needed a
new home in a new environment and made the sacrifice to send her across
the country and to WMERR's care. Lava spent the fall and winter in Montana
and her skin has recovered nicely. She is ALL Mustang mare. Her petite
self is BIG with personality and attitude. Lava has been in training to
evaluate her, tune up her manners and riding cues.
Jake:
Hi, I'm Jake, and I need a new
place to be, even just for a little while. I got moved from my home and
my friends, feeling displaced. I'm 17, kind of average height (15 hh).
I'm a good boy, try hard to please, good manners. I was abused when I
was younger, pretty protective of my hind end these days, but I could
learn to trust a human again if they were patient and I could trust
them. I enjoy trail riding, don't really care for arena work but could
once in awhile. I got my physical and teeth done yesterday so ready to
go!
UPDATE: Jake is going to live with
Heather Holt and be a needed companion for "Little", aka "Cinnamon"
(whom we rescued two years ago) who is mourning the loss of her beloved
"grandpa" Kit.
Chex
and Bleu:
These two girls need to go to a new home. The current owner realizes
that she is not up to being a horse owner. Both Chex (red roan) and Bleu
(blue roan) were purchased from a breeder's sale as 6 month old fillies.
They have been together ever since. They are 15.1 hh and 1100 lbs each.
Both are up to date, have no baggage, and no neglect or abuse. Both have
been started under saddle and can be ridden bareback with just a halter
at a walk, trot and canter. We have videos, but can only text to send
them as they are too big to email or send via Facebook. The videos were
taken 2 weeks ago, their first rides since last fall, bareback with a
halter at walk, trot and canter. Chex with a little girl sitting in
front of her mother at all gaits! It seems that Chex and Bleu have good
minds!
Baybe
Baybe is a 26
year old Arabian mare, in good condition and is a great riding horse.
Leroy
Grace and Destiny
After saving these two lovely girls as weanlings from a Texas sale yard (mothers
sold to kill buyer) and caring for them for over 3 years, their owner released
them into our care. Destiny and Grace, together like twins, are two of our
newest arrivals. Even though they had not been in a trailer since coming up from
Texas, they loaded and went to their new accommodations with a local retired
trainer, Vince Felty, almost like pros. Vince has generously offered to "work"
with them. He says they are so smart and he thinks they would make a cute
driving pair. His wife thinks they will make great little kids horses when they
are done, as they don't seem to mind anything! They are 4 years old and 14
hands tall.
Faith
A
very sweet, kind 14 yr old TB/QH mare, who will be the first one to greet you in
the morning with a soft nicker, and the first to meet you at the gate! Faith is
currently with an awesome caregiver, who is instilling confidence and fun when
"working" with her, Liberty Training.
Binnie
Her
named was changed to Ellie by adopter.
Dixie
After coming into our rescue 4 years ago with a body score of 2, Dixie spent
several months with us, getting everything she needed to be an appealing
adoptable horse. She was adopted in 2013, but through no fault of her own
unloading from the trailer, she banged her head and ultimately lost sight in one
eye. Dixie was returned to us last spring, and was readily taken in by her
pre-adoption foster mom, Clair Cabal. Dixie always loved her "home" with Clair,
and we can now say "CONGRATULATIONS" to the two! Clair says "I have such peace
in my heart that adopting Dixie was the right decision". YAY!
Mocha
Fancy
Magic
Nessey
Riley

Rip
Penny
Penny was headed to
the sale yard, deemed to be dangerous as she would come unglued when tied. So
she was surrendered to us, and we discovered what happened to her and why
never to tie her. We also discovered she was a 4-H Champion pleasure mare, and
was adopted by a family with a young girl anxious to show. They were used to
not tying a horse so it was a non issue for them. They have been true partners
ever since.
Prissy
Not long
after Prissy came, we discovered how wonderfully trained she was, both in
the arena and out on trail rides.
As shown
in the photo, her adopter got her into the show ring and is doing
very well!
