July 15 - Lilly (Adopted!) is a registered solid-color paint, Lilly's Impressiverule. She is 14.1H, about 700 lbs and very well trained. Lilly is a little rusty so would not be suitable for a beginner, although a confident advanced beginner would most likely do fine after a brief tune-up. Lilly has had trail and dressage experience and has been a pleasure horse. Lilly has a mild right front lameness issue caused by improper shoeing and is on the way to having that corrected. Her current owner took her on hoping to fit her in a lesson program, but Lilly is not a beginner's horse. She loves attention and is well broke to ride. She is up-to-date on vaccinations, farrier and deworming; she stands well for the farrier and trailer loads easily. For additional information contact Heather at 970-691-0599, heather@thewholehorseriding.com. Lilly is located near Fort Collins and Heather is asking $400 reimbursement for expenses incurred.

May 31 - Red (currently at a therapeutic riding center, may be available in the fall) is a 15.1H, 20YO Kentucky Mountain Horse. Red's veterinarian calls him "The Gentleman." Red is very quiet, will carry a beginner or even someone who doesn't know a thing about horses; his owner can't say enough about Red's quiet, friendly and benevolent demeanor. He has the start of arthritis per x-rays and his owner would like to find him a home where there is more flat riding than steep. Although he is still able to do hilly trails, the time will come when he will be less able. He is a wonderful baby-sitter for unconfident or young horses. His owner would like to see him go to a forever home who will be sensitive to his needs as he ages. He does best as a pasture horse - when stalled will begin to crib, which is curtailed by a felt neck sweat. For more information, email Karen at kjohnson@prairieweb.com. Red is located in Nebraska, owner may be able to transport.

May 30: Riley is a 16 year old TB gelding, chestnut with a white blaze, easy keeper, low man on the totem pole. He is just over 16 hands. Here's what Riley's owner says about him: "I got him as a 3 year old from Kentucky, he was bred to be a racer but never raced. I did hunter jumpers with him and some first and second level dressage. An eight year old girl leased him for 2 years. After that he was turned out on 100 acres, I moved him to Colorado two years ago and with work and a new daughter I don't have the time for him he needs. He hasn't been sat on in 5-6 years. I just want him to have attention and be loved and live out his years being a horse. Which to me is being turned out during the day and in at night. He is a little stiff in the mornings but it works out after he is turned out and had a suspensory strain when he was 5 years of age. Other that that he has been healthy. He is current on all vaccinations with a negative coggins. He has perfect ground manners, has never bitten, bucked, or kicked anyone. He is beautiful with blonde flicks in his mane." Contact Mindy at
