Bo (Windermere’s Bo Can)
5/5/2005-6/15/2023
Bo is one of the namesakes of the rescue. He is a registered Percheron Gelding standing 18.2 hands, which is 6’2” at the shoulder and weighs 2200 lbs. He was born in Spring Hill PA on 5/5/2005. He comes from a long line of champion show horses. He was the lead horse in a 6 horse show team, and is broke to drive and ride. He is a favorite to take out trail riding. We purchased him at auction in April 2018 and is example of the excellent horses you can find at a high money auction. The horses at these sales are in no danger of going to slaughter. They are well-bred, well-trained horses that are sought after.
Meric
is the other namesake of the rescue. His history is totally unknown and he had no name. It is believed he is a Standardbred or Saddlebred. He is about 15.2 hands and 900 lbs. We believe he is over 25 years old. He was dumped at a killpen and was destined for slaughter. He was purchased from the kill buyer by some friends of mine, and I agreed to take him in. This was also April of 2018. He is the best boy and a farm favorite because of his goofy personality. He rides and drives, and is obsessed with treats. He was perfectly sound. You have to wonder how such a well-trained, friendly horse ended up going to slaughter.
Diamond (My Native Diamond)
inspired the Diamond Initiative. She is a 34 year old appendix Quarter horse. She is 16.1 hands and about 1000 lbs. She is the grand daughter of Native Dancer, one of the greatest race horses of all time. She as been with us for over 20 years. She was off the race track, and then was transitioned into a trail horse. She spent many years being a primary riding horse for our family. In her younger days, she was quite feisty. She retired from riding at 29 years old. She is still as sound as the day is long, and enjoying her retirement.
Moe (A Shot of Mocha)
1/1/1996-6/15/2023
Moe has inspired the Moe Foundation. He is a 26 year old quarter horse, and is 14.3 hands and 700lbs. We have had him for more than 20 years. He was the kids’ horse when they were growing up, and he has taught many beginners how to ride. He also spent many years as a 4-H show horse. He is mostly retired now. In March of 2022, he had a catastrophic accident involving a hay feeder he got stuck in, needing extensive vet care and a stay at the hospital. As bad as the injuries were, his prognosis for a full recovery was 100%. However, the vets kept asking what his budget was, because if we weren’t willing or able to pay for a lot of the treatment they would have recommended euthanasia. That wasn’t fair to him. We don’t want any family to have to make that choice for their horse. He has made a full recovery, and is living his best life.
Duncan (CSG Dancing Duncan)
is a 6 year old Dutch Warmblood (it is believed). He is 17.2 hands and about 1400 lbs. He was rescued from a kill pen in June of 2022. At just 5.5 years old, he was dumped at a slaughter auction. He appears well-trained and is very polite in his ground manners. We have not figured out his riding skills yet. He appears sound except for a very weird walk which is believed to be the results of a bad wreck. He trots and canters just fine and is not in any pain. He is an example of a good, young horse being condemned to slaughter due to an accident. His previous owners saw him as useless once he couldn’t show anymore. They just discarded him like broken sports equipment. This is all too common, and we want to save horses like this.
Percy (Sir Percival)
is a 15-18 year old Arabian (it is believed). He is a little guy, standing at just 14.3 hands and about 950 lbs. He was rescued from a kill pen in March of 2023. He has a very gentle disposition and solid ground manners. We have not figured out his riding skills yet. We do not know anything about his history, but suspect he was kept as a solo horse because he’s a lone ranger who seems to prefer the company of other farm animals or people to that of his fellow horses – though he is warming up to the herd quickly. He is terrified of lunge whips so there is a good chance he came from a rough home. He loves cookies, gentle face scratches, hugs, and nose kisses. He also loves to go for runs with his owner.
