Needs Home - MD - Tennessee Walker gelding

(This horse is being place by a private owner and is not a resident of, nor affiliated with, Traveller's Rest Equine Elders Sanctuary.)
This listing comes via Freedom Hill Horse Rescue.
"We recieved a distress call about this senior horse and we dont have room to bring the poor guy in. His owner is trying to do the best for him that she can but she cannot afford his board anymore and the place that he is being boarded is not caring for him properly. They will only feed him once a day and the owner of the property will not open the barn up to the horses. They stand out in all the weather. Animal control has been called but the owner still seems to get by. His board is paid up to the end of the month. She sent me some winter pics of him and he was emasciated...his recent pics show him in better condition but still very thin.

Needs Home - MN - Quarter Horse mare

(This horse is being place by a private owner and is not a resident of, nor affiliated with, Traveller's Rest Equine Elders Sanctuary.)

Goldie
20+ year Quarter Horse mare. Sound and healthy, no special needs other than being grained twice a day (senior and sweet feet). Leads, trailers, very timid with people. We feel she's someone's old range broodmare and it will take a lot of time and patience to gain her trust. She's made many improvements here, but is still not a people loving mare. She would however make an excellent companion horse or lawn ornament. Were she a "kid safe pet" type horse I'm sure she would have found a home by now, but she's a bit of a wilder old lady. Still deserves a good home! No adoption fee but references requested. Located in central MN. (218) 746-4161, 1039jade@brainerd.net

He's Baa-aaack!

Regular visitors to Traveller's Rest may remember that one of our residents, 40-year-old Jeb, lost his appetite for many many weeks during the summer and was losing weight. Offering different feeds produced no results. Vet exams and blood tests revealed no obvious cause. We were at a loss as to what to do next. And then...............


Jeb began eating. He ate all that was offered to him three times a day. What changed? Nothing we can take credit for. The answer was..........


Emma! Jeb took one look at the newest arrival and decided he has a reason to hang around a while longer.

Its only been a few weeks since the two met, but its hard not to say

"...............and they lived happily ever after..........."
