THE HORSE PROJECT
Rescue. Rehabilitate. Rehome.
ABOUT
The Horse Project rehabilitates, re-trains and re-homes
rescued horses who have been abandoned, abused and neglected.
The Horse Project works to ready rescued horses for new and caring homes that best suit their individual skills, talents and potential. We are an all-volunteer group partnering with professionals for the horse's health, conditioning, and ground and under saddle training.
OUR HORSES

Shelby
26 yr old Mare, 14.3 hh, Arabian -Paint
Sweet Shelby is lively and energetic. She enjoys mental and physical activity. She is sound with no health issues. Shelby will enjoy getting out on the trail with friends for a walk and some trotting. She lunges, can do arena, and canter, but why canter much, if at all, at this point in her life. Shelby wants your attention and loves to be groomed, massaged and just hang out with her people. She's comfortable around horses, humans and dogs. Shelby's had a solid foundation with good training in the arena. Recent years have mostly been out on the trail taking in the scenery. Advanced beginner or intermediate rider. See photos and video in Shelby's album on our facebook page. For more information contact us at thehorseprojectsb@gmail.com.
Noah ADOPTED
Gelding, 16.1 hh, Thoroughbred, Early 20's
This gentleman is a beautiful flea-bitten grey. He' gave lessons in English pleasure, jumping and trail riding at a stable that recently closed. He can no longer jump but is a willing horse for light riding on the trail and in the arena for an advanced beginner. Noah will ride out alone. For his well-being we are looking to re-home him with his friend Amigo below.
Amigo ADOPTED
Gelding, 16 hh, Warmblood, Mid-20's
Amigo was at the same stable that closed as Noah above. He was a favorite for dressage and jumping . Although his jumping days are over, he is still a pleasure to ride dressage in the arena. A bay with a star he's "good boy". Amigo would enjoy an advanced beginner rider. Amigo and Noah are bonded, and these friends need to go together to their new home.
Savannah HAS HER FOREVER HOME
14 yr old Mare, 16 hh, Thoroughbred, Trakehner/Holsteiner
Beautiful OTT wearing her mask. Sassy. Melts your heart when she accepts your affection. Scared of the big green ball and people on all sides. Nervous, unsure handlers make her anxious. Still needs work at the mounting block. Has not been ridden lately. Good days and days she just wants to hang out. Looking for her special person, patient, loving and confident, to accept her as she is and help bring her to her full potential.
Miller & Rebel ADOPTED
Good friends go together. 24 & 34 yr old Geldings, 15 hh, Quarter Horses
Happy boys here having a fun roll. Perfect for a family with young kids or a senior who wants to love on them but still likes to trail. Rebel is a comic, curious and interested. He's been taking beginning riders on trails for 5 yrs. His arthritic knee means no steep hills or cantering, but he's energetic and loves to get out for a walk and trot. Miller is great company. A fuzzy, teddy bear with his winter coat. He has no health issues we've found. Amazing at his age. It's hard to keep up with him when walking out, but he's no longer taking riders. Truly sweet boys.
