We acquired Abby from the Grayson County Sheriff's Office. She was a court-ordered seizure; because her owners had moved away, leaving Abby behind with no one to feed or take care of her. A neighbor was giving her water, but when the water at the property was shut off, she didn't even have water to drink. At Abby's first veterinary exam after acquiring her, we discovered that she has no upper incisors and is lacking two molars. This means she is unable to graze normally by biting the grass with her teeth. However, she can use her lips to get food into her mouth and then chew it with her remaining molars. Because of her missing incisors, the vet said it was difficult to pinpoint her age, but he estimates that she is in her early twenties. Due to weeks of little to no care, it has taken a lot of extra attention and nutrition to bring Abby back to health. She is now well on her way to complete recovery. In spite of her teeth problems, Abby will not be a difficult horse to maintain. She is doing very well on a Equine Senior and coastal hay. Abby is very good-natured and easy to work with on the ground.
Abby is broke to ride, but it appears that she has not been ridden in a long time. She knows the basics, but needs a "refresher" course to get her back in shape. Even though it is estimated that Abby is in her early 20s, she does not act it. She has plenty of energy and likes to be busy. Abby will make a good kids' horse after some fine tuning.

Thera was a wild Mustang born in Montana in 1995 and adopted through the Bureau of Land Management program in 1997. She was bound for the slaughter house in 3 days when we bought her from the slaughter buyer. Her overall condition was not too bad, but she was in need of good care especially because she was pregnant at the time. She gave birth to a beautiful colt, who has since found his forever home. Thera has a good mind, and she tries hard; but she is still pretty shy around people. Once you catch her, she can be haltered, groomed, and led. If you give her lots of love and attention, she will learn to trust you. Please give her a chance to show you how much love she has.
