Faith is a 6-year-old Paint mare we rescued from a Nevada feedlot in September 2009. Faith does not trust people, and we cannot yet touch her except on her chin. She has every reason not to trust, considering the rope burn scars on her left hind pastern. We are working to gain her trust, but if she gives it, it will be on her own timetable. Faith will be with us for awhile.
Hope is a 6-year-old dun Paint rescued from the same Nevada feedlot as Faith. We brought them home together. Hope was very skittish at first, but she is handleable. She has had her feet trimmed and has been brushed. She is slow to trust but is coming along. She and Faith keep each other comforted.
Cimarron is a 4-year-old PMU quarter horse/thoroughbred/belgian gelding. He leads, ties, loads in the trailer, stands for the farrier and crosses water. He's been worked under saddle and has carried a bit a couple of times, which he seems very comfortable with. Close to 16hh, Cimarron loves to jump. He's jumped over a large water tub and our 4-wheeler.
Cimarron was previously adopted and returned because his owner has cancer and could no longer take care of him.
Princess has been returned to the rescue by her owner, a decision she regretfully had to make as she could no longer keep Princess. She is available for adoption.
Princess was rescued from a Colorado feed lot as a yearling in April 2008. She had a condition close to pneumonia, for which she was successfully treated. She has also been receiving therapy for scarred front pasterns, which may have been caused by entanglement in barbed wire at some point early in her life. She was evaluated by our veterinarian who said that because of her young age her pasterns should improve as she grows and she should be rideable when she is old enough.
Princess runs like the wind. Her injured pasterns don't seem to give her any trouble when she's racing around with the other horses, or during training.
She has had extensive ground training, leads well, loads in the trailer, cross-ties and is well mannered. She is up to date on all vaccinations and worming. The vet checked her pasterns in June 2009 and said she's rideable.
Tristan is a 7-month-old PMU Clydesdale colt who came from a Missouri auction in September. He's become a friendly guy, has had his front feet trimmed, and is generally coming along very well. Tris has a distinctive gait, and it's fun to watch him run. 1/10
ADOPTED
Kenna is a bay roan PMU Clyde/Belgain cross who came from the same Missouri auction as Tris. She has become very friendly and likes to be with you. Just barely seven months old, she stands well to have her feet cleaned and comes when called. 1/10
Our burro family consists of Paco, Pia and Peppi. Paco arrived in February, 2009 and Pia in September, 2009. Pia's baby, Peppi, was born November 15, 2009 at the NHER facility. Paco and Pia are from different wild BLM herd areas of Arizona. Pia will be available for adoption, but Paco and Peppi will be staying on at New Hope as greeters and "guard burros"
