Rescued Horses
The following horses are a sampling of the animals that RCER has adopted into permanent homes.
Kody a
yearling Paint Breeding Stock Colt. He was
not halter broke when RCER took him in, but
within a few days he was walking on lead and
had his feet trimmed for the first time.
Smart guy, inquisitive and playful. Was
gelded and placed into his forever home.
Kody is doing well in his new home and has
started his ground work training. |

Appy Gelding,
spotted red roan color, 16+ hands, approx age
19 or 20 years old.
Found by USFS at
the Salmon La Sac Cathedral trailhead. Red
needs to gain some weight, is current on his
worming and farrier work. He is a bit sore
on his front left, but we think it may be
from being ridden barefoot on rocky ground.
Red has a cool
personality.
Red, now called Red Spirit is happy and enjoying the good life
in his new home in Ellensburg. |

Love R Bandit,
a registered APHA gelding, 8 yrs old, gentle on the ground, but
not broke to ride. Curious about things, but has no confidence
about the human happenings that occur around him. Will become a
nice riding horse for a person that has the knowledge to teach
him. Started on ground work.
Bandit has found his forever home and has begun his formal
training to become a riding horse. Shown here learning to pack a
saddle.
Bandit is currently being trail ridden by his owner. |

Hassey
Hassey is a 27 year old reg Arab mare, very gentle, been around
kids, great feet, good in the herd, pretty bay with 4 white
socks & a star.
Update: a note from Hasseys new owner.
Well, here we are a week after Hassey came into our lives. I
want to assure you that she is my dream horse. Hassey is such a
well behaved lady, a joy to care for. She is perfect for the
other rescue horse that we got the week before. "PJ" has calmed
down with her around. He is learning to trust me because Hassey
is so trusting. They are so good together, it's hard to believe
they weren't raised together. I am so thankful that you agreed
to let me adopt Hassey. I just hope you know how lucky I feel to
have found her. You have done such a good job with rescuing
these wonderful animals, I know you have HUGE hearts.

mare has had a lot of dressage training in the past, very
sensitive to leg cues, needs an intermediate rider.
Update: In a home & being ridden regularly,
this mare is special & so is her new home.

| Frodo is a very handsome
14 yr old Welsh gelding. He has a growth in this throat that
limits him to light riding and weight control. Neck scoped by a veterinary
to determine the care he requires to stay healthy and sound, he has been adopted into a new home & is bonding with his new owner.
Thank you Desiree, for providing Frodo with a loving home. |

| Freedom's Lady a
young mare that was abandoned out in the Yakima Canyon. She was
starving, emaciated & scared, taking several weeks to capture.
She was evaluated to have been mistreated in the past. Shown in
the pictures with her new owner, Syndi, who has spent numerous
hours gentling & teaching her to trust humans again. Free is
learning that life really can by sweet, that the feed trough
will always be full & that there is someone there who will make
sure that she will always be cared for. Thank you Syndi, for
adopting her. We know that the love and patience you have
shown to Free will be rewarded as this little mare demonstrates
that she was well worth the effort. |
