Equine Rescue League 

Dutchess is an approximate 2000 TB chestnut mare, standing 16.2 hands tall. She and another mare came to us last year from a starvation and neglect case. Dutchess was the poorest of the two, with a body condition score of 2.5. With proper diets, parasite control, veterinary and farrier care, these two beauties are on the fast road to recovery. Her pasture buddy was recently adopted to her forever home. We are hoping for the same for this mare. 

We do not know the extent of Dutchess’s training, but do know she has good ground manners. A big bold horse, who needs a knowledgeable handler, and super beautiful to look at!  She is available to the right home!

Hercules is a 2012 Miniature gelding pony standing 9.2hh. This beautiful pony has shown us the biggest personality that we have seen in a while. He is eager to learn and has taken an active interest in his studies. Now he needs to find his forever family, who will love him, train him, and ensure all his 350 lb. needs are met correctly.

​

Hercules and Mateo came to the ERL from a very neglectful situation. Most neglect cases are lack of food and poor living conditions. These two lovely ponies suffered a different kind of torture, they were allowed to overeat and were over fed for years which led to repeated, excruciating painful bouts of Laminitis. All of which could have been avoided. Proper equine care is vital for their health and wellbeing. Being educated about your equines individual needs should not be an option it should be mandatory!

Mateo is 2009 Shetland pony pinto gelding standing 10hh. Upon arrival this pony was in so much pain, he was aggressive and reluctant with any handling or attention from his new caregivers. With our expert team of caregivers, veterinarians, and farrier we have watched this pony do a complete 180 degree turn around. Out of pain now, he is receptive to our questions and eager to please.  He has a lovely personality, the one that makes us all fall in love with horses.

​

With proper handling, care, and training, this brave pony will make someone very happy.

Daisy Mae was recently turned over to the ERL when her owner could not meet her needs.

​

She is a lovey 2016 Jenny donkey standing 13.2 HH.  She has a cheerful personality and a great disposition.  She is easy to handle and has excellent manners. Daisy Mae will require a pasture area with limited grass especially in the spring when the grass is growing. She is a victim of founder, so her diet must be carefully monitored.  She is a beautiful animal and deserves the very best life possible.

​

Daisy Mae is available for adoption to the right home! 

ER Kitty Hawk (“Kitty”) is a bay 2006 Miniature Horse mare standing at 28 inches tall. She is a victim of laminitis and has rotation of the coffin bone in all four feet. At this time, she is not foundering, however she could never be turned out on grass as she is also insulin-resistant. She is available to a home that will provide her a comfortable, healthful environment to suit her needs.

ER Gilded aka Lily

Lily is a 1995 Bay Shetland Pony mare.  She came to the ERL recently, when her widowed owner could no longer care for her properly. Lily was a broodmare for many years, and lived a very idle but happy life.  Lily has Foundered in the past and requires a special diet and anti-inflammatory’s daily, to keep her comfortable. She really likes to eat any treat you give her; she always says it is her favorite. She is available to the right home.

Sagana is a 1990 Shetland Pony mare. Her coloring is called Silver Dappled! She came to the ERL recently, when her widowed owner could no longer care for her properly. Sagana was a broodmare for many years, producing nice little ponies. Now that she is retired, she enjoys love in any form, being brushed and fussed over and green grass (in moderation of course). She is available to the right home.

ER Rhythm and Blues ("Jazz") is a black and white 2004 Shetland Pony gelding. He was given to the ERL when his owners could no longer care for him properly. He suffers from laminitis and COPD, but with the right care for his conditions he will make a wonderful addition to someone’s family. He is not rideable due to his medical conditions; however, he is excellent with kids and would be a great teacher for how to properly care for a pony.

Cody James is a bay 1992 OTTB gelding who was picked up by the ERL as a stray horse in Warren County several years ago. He is an ex-polo pony standing at 15.1hh. He is super affectionate and handsome. He is a gentleman with excellent ground manners and is a pleasant horse to work with. He is a lovely horse with many years of love and fun to offer, but as a senior citizen he has special needs - he requires three meals a day of a soaked complete feed and a blanket in the winter. Although he requires a little senior management, Cody's adoptive family will receive the sweet love and appreciation only a senior equine offers.

Sarge is a black 1991 Tennessee Walking Horse X Saddlebred gelding standing at 15.1hh. He can be very shy around strangers but with lovies and patience he is learning to trust humans again. Under the kind, quiet hands of some of our staff he is blossoming into a very special horse with a loving personality. He is a very attractive horse that is available as a companion only.

ER William Ebenezer Bubs II (“Willie”) is a bay 1999 Mustang gelding who was saved from slaughter as a three-day old colt, at the time still at the side of his wild mustang mother. He was halter-trained as a young horse, but has spent the past several years untouched. He returned to ERL in 2018 at no fault of his own, and is learning that humans make great cookie-dispensers and give great scratches. With patience and the right handling, he would make someone a special friend. Willie is available for adoption to the right home.

Leia is a 2015 OTTB grey mare standing 16.3 hands tall. She and another mare came to us recently from a large starvation and neglect case.  She is adapting very well back into the pampered life, and vigorously awaits her meals.  We believe she was used as a broodmare after her racing career, and we do not know if she was ever ridden off the track. This big mare with lots of presence, and personality, needs a home where all her needs are met and then some… She is available to the right home!
