Mabel and Georgia have been loved and well cared for, but due to severe toxic mold and structural damage in the owner’s home, they must evacuate the property for their health and can no longer reliably care for animals here on the property. These girls are being rehomed simply because there is no other choice – the owners fully intended on taking care of them for the rest of their lives, but have been forced into this heartbreaking situation. These girls are wonderful and have brought so much joy. Their owners want them to find a home where they will be loved and cared for as they have been to this point.

Meet Alora and Rouelle!
Alora and Rouelle, are a bonded pair who would like to stay together. Please contact their owner, Teresa, by email for more information on these cuties!
Email: [email protected]
Alora is an adorable, black and white, 14.3hh, 4 year old QH/Mustang mare who has had some handling on the ground and has been introduced to the saddle (but not a rider yet). She is good to be groomed, clean her feet, and good with the farrier. Due to her owner’s health, he has not had any work since Spring. Alora is not trained to electric fence.
Rouelle is a 21 year old, 15.2hh bay Morgan gelding. Prior to coming to live with his current owner, he was an English lesson horse. He has been with his current owner for 7 years, during which time he has been ridden out on the trails (western). Due to his person’s health, he has not been ridden in about 2 years, but likely could get back into riding shape! He is the type of horse who needs to trust his person in order to relax. Once he trusts, he will do anything he is asked.
Please reach out to Teresa today if you have any questions or are interested in keeping these two kids together at your barn!

Meet Blackie!
Meet Blackie, a 25 year old, 14.2hh mustang gelding. For inquiries about Blackie, please contact his owner directly by email: [email protected].
Blackie is a retired 25 year old Mustang who is very mellow and low maintenance. He is good with both the vet and the farrier, as well as with dogs and people. Though he is currently an “only horse,” he has lived with other horses in the past and was fine with them. He has Cushings and is currently medicated on 1/4 tablet of Prascend each day. The vet says his weight is very good. His current farm has been his retirement home for 7 years, but his owner is selling the property and moving to a home that can’t accommodate him.
Meet Metro!
Meet Metro, a 16hh, 11 year old OTTB gelding. Please contact Metro’s owner, Kim, for inquiries about this special boy.
Email: [email protected]
Phone: (978) 702-7303
** Please note, this horse is located in southern New Hampshire **
Meet My Man Metro, a sweet chestnut gelding who is looking for a new place to call home where he can connect with that special person who can satisfy his need for problem solving. He is outgoing, curious and lovable and while he enjoys his semi-retired life, he needs mental and physical stimulation as well (think of a military Sargent, retiring at 62 then needing to take a part time job at a gym to talk with people and keep in shape!).
He stands at 16h, and though he has lost a little muscle mass from his semi retired life-style, he is a bit more beefcake than your average OTTB. He has no starts/no gate card and though he has just enough spice to keep you smiling, I can only surmise that he just wasn’t fast enough for the track. His owner successfully showed him on the NHHJA circuit for 3 seasons, took home ribbons, and had a lot of fun. Their fun came to an abrupt halt late in 2023 when he tripped at the canter and his neuro status was called into question. Long story short, a trip to UPenn/NBC and he has definitive compression in his C5-C6 vertebrae with osteoarthritis in C6-C7, making him unfit (read: unsafe) to ride. So, he is a companion only placement, no riding.
His owner has someone working Natural Horsemanship/Liberty training with him where he is currently stabled. He loves it, as it keeps his brain busy. She finds that he likes to let loose in a paddock (or the indoor ring) for a few minutes and he marches up to her with a “Let’s get to work” attitude. His owner lunges him 1-2 times per week, occasionally over poles too (honestly a little heartbreaking to watch, as he is a beautiful mover at the trot, not as much at the canter, but he has a wall full of ribbons attesting to his movement in the Hunter ring!). With regular stimulation with a person who is experienced with horses, he is well mannered. Can be a bit fresh in hand if he hasn’t been able to romp in a paddock or in an indoor ring.
He is in an in/out stall, but his owner found he never settled comfortably with being able to freely go in/out at night. The barn has shared fence lines so he and his neighbors would cause some trouble after night check with resulting minor cuts/dings. The decision was made to keep him in at night. He was happy at his prior barn with normal daily turnout, in the comfort of his stall for the night and for AM/PM grain. His prior turnout had always been individual with more appropriate distance between paddocks so his owner does not know his position in a herd or his behavior. He would need to be introduced slowly with an experienced eye on him. Though he was never bred, it is likely he was gelded late. The “ladies” love him and while he doesn’t quite understand why or otherwise behave stud-like, he likes them too. 
His prior barn was a busy show barn and a working farm with dogs and chickens, so while it is quieter where he is now with no dogs allowed (and no chickens), he is good around dogs, chickens and cats.
He is good with trailering, vet, farrier (though he does like to get in her pocket, nudge her for possible treats), clipping, bathing. UTD on shots, currently barefoot but he had winter shoes on the front Dec-late March this year. Blankets go with him. He is allergic to oats but can tolerate occasional treats with oats in them. Loves his carrots and contrary to him claiming he isn’t flexible, he stretches great for them!
He is a very special goober gelding. His owner knows that special person, home, situation is out there for him. Are you that someone?
