Although he is too young to break to saddle, Sid is already fine with a blanket on his back and a rope around his girth area. You can adopt Sid by himself for $200, or you can adopt both Sid and his mother for only $350. See Available Ponies and Horses 5 yrs & older for pictures and description of L53 Ava (Sid's mom).

L3 Timmy
Pictures taken Feb. 11, 2010
Timmy is very calm and has a great disposition. He is halter broke and will stand for the farrier. Catching Timmy is not a problem-he is eager for attention, and he will "catch" you! Timmy will be a wonderful addition to any family.
L4 Bear
Photo taken December 28, 2009 Photo taken January 12, 2010 Photo taken Apr. 2011
Adopted!!!
Bear is halter broke, and he is friendly and easy to work with. Bear loves people, and he will bond very well with his adopter. If you are looking for a new best friend, Bear is the one for you. He has a very caring and kind disposition. When we first acquired the ponies from the neglect situation, Bear and L3 Timmy (see above) were a bonded pair. We believe it was that bond, together with the protectiveness Bear showed toward Timmy, that probably saved Timmy’s life when they were being neglected.
