Rosemary Farm has many horses and available and needs room to save more horses from auction!  Their horses are healthy and happy; some are re-trained for riding and some still need work, but hey, who doesn’t? They’ve done the vetting and mental re-hab, so you can take over and love your new horse. Let them know what you are looking for!

Annabelle & Aggie (JoJo)

Aggie (JoJo) is now 10 months old and stabilized. She and her sister were owner surrenders several months ago, and this little one was very sick and scared of people. What a change now (I can hear her whinnying for breakfast while I type this). She will need a lot of tlc to continue her growth and training! She is currently only available for adoption with her sister AnnaBelle.

Annabelle, a beautiful two year old chestnut QH mare, will probably be smaller like her sister from lack of early care and feeding. But a nicer, sweeter horse you could not ask! Annabelle is two years old, but is currently only available for adoption with her little sister, who still relies on her. Please consider taking these sisters home and loving them, they will reward you tenfold when they mature into beautiful members of your family.

Remy

Remy is a classic palomino dun western trail horse, in his teens, who had been used up and thrown away. We rescued him from the kill pens in March, and he has spent several months in recovery at the farm. Finally fat and happy, Remy has found his swagger again! He would be a great trail horse for a rider with a little experience, someone who wants to ride out with others and take long easy afternoon trips. Quite a character is Remington, adores attention, wants to be your horse.

The Phantom

The Phantom is available for adoption! Gorgeous flea-bitten big boned grey that we saved from slaughter a few months ago. He has been getting work at his foster home and seems to be a great husband trail horse. Phantom is a teen, over 16 HH, and blind in one eye; the blindness doesn’t affect his riding abilities. Phantom can be cinchy but once you move out he is great. What a beauty and what great height! You will love The Phantom.

Belle is a gorgeous and sweet Welsh/QH cross mare that we saved from slaughter a few months ago. Belle is 14 and lived her whole life with one family before being sent to auction. Scared and alone, she put on quite a show that drove off buyers, but we saw her ears perk up at a little girl, and her eyes follow her, and knew that this used to be a loved horse. Turns out Belle was trained to ride and drive when she was young, but then was left out at pasture for 9 years, so she doesn’t have the physical wear of some teenage horses. Beautiful extended trot on this girl, good head, willing learner, super nice horse. Belle is currently being re-trained to ride; come and meet her!

Last September, 175 hunting dogs were seized for cruelty and neglect in South Dakota. The dogs seized were GWPs, GSPs, Weims, Vizslas and Brittanys.  Within a couple weeks of the seizure, 37 females whelped another 150+ puppies. These poor dogs until now have been in legal limbo. The numbers are tentative and fluctuate daily, but we know there are atleast 12 adult GWPs that need help.

DONATE!

A Grimes County woman gave up 100 miniature horses and 46 dogs Wednesday because she couldn’t afford to care for them in the struggling economy.

The animals are being taken to the Houston SPCA. All will undergo a medical and behavioral evaluation before they can be put up for adoption.

The miniature horses are thin and have not received proper hoof care, according to the SPCA. The organization is requesting the help of volunteer equine veterinarians and farriers to treat the horses. They also need donations of miniature horse halters and lead ropes.

Horses are expensive to keep and the plunging economy is taking its toll on horse owners.  According to Horseman Magazine, the average cost of caring for a horse is five times the amount of caring for a dog.  Sadly, many horses—locally and nationally—are being abandoned and slowly left to starve to death.

If you are interested in donating, fostering or adopting a horse, call 713-869-7722, ext. 138.
