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.
Savannah
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. Looking for her special person, patient, loving and confident, to accept her as she is and help bring her to her full potential.
Sweet Boy
16.1 h, former hunter jumper
JUST IN! Beginner/Intermediate ride. This beautiful boy has a lovely walk, trot and canter, but his jumping days are behind him. He'll need a refresher course to get back into the swing of things since he's coming from time off at a hunter/jumper barn. You'll fall for his friendly, fun personality.
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.
