Max - A 1981 Quarter Horse Gelding - Arrived 10/17/2011

Max was actually owned by a Sheriff's Deputy which makes his story that much sadder. Max was given to the deputy for his children and they had him approx. 1 year. Within that year Max turned from a healthy gelding into a skeleton. On his arrival Max was covered in rain rot, infested with parasites, and in need of dental, farrier, and veterinary care.  We were told at intake that Max was 18 years old, our dentist informed us that he was closer to 30. Max's upper lip is tattooed and we are still trying to find out what we can from the tattoo.  Max continues to improve at a healthy and steady pace.

Apollo - A 1981 BLM Mustang Gelding - Arrived 6/26/2011

Apollo (previously known as Dart) was discarded by his previous owner once she felt he was no longer use-able. Apollo was taken in by another gal but she could no longer afford to continue his care. Due to his advanced age Apollo will stay here for the remainder of his days. We are looking for sponsors to help cover the costs involved in his continued care. Apollo requires a diet of senior feed, alfalfa cubes, beet pulp, & senior supplements.
