Fina
Fina is an appaloosa mare in her early 30’s who came to us from an owner who could no loner care for her. She spent the winter with us rehabbing, gaining wight and muscle and looks like a completely different horse! Our trainer decided to see what she knows and Fina is full of experience. Standing at about 14.1, she highly enjoys being groomed and a leisurely walk/trot around the round pen or stroll down the trails at the farm. Due to Fina’s age she will need a small stature rider who only wants to take it easy. Video’s per request after an application has been submitted.
Fina’s adoption fee is $750

Symphony and Dash - PENDING ADOPTION!
Symphony and Dash are a bonded pair of painted donkeys. Symphony is mom and Dash is her son. Dash was never weaned and have never been away from his mother so these two are only available as a pair. They came to the rescue because their owners were elderly and wanted to make sure the donkeys went to good homes. In the pictures, the red halter is Symphony and the teal halter is Dash. These two are lovely and playful, easy to handle and good for the vet and farrier. Symphony does have issues with white line disease every so often when the weather has been wet for too long but she stands nicely for treatment. Because Symphony and Dash have pink skin around their eyes, the vet suggests they wear UV masks.
Symphony and Dash’s adoption fee is $750

Kevin
Kevin is a pony gelding, likely roughly 30 years of age, who came to us in late January 2026.

Kevin will make grumpy man faces when he is being groomed but he enjoys the currying and attention, he just doesn’t want you to know that. Kevin does have cushings disease.

Mozart
Mozart is a gelding in his late 20s, we are unsure of his breed. Though he is still learning to be caught (a cookie helps), he stands well for the farrier and is good for the vet.

Mozart is available as a companion.
