Vermont Horses in Immediate Need

There are some Vermont horses in desperate need of help. And a couple of ladies, also. These are the Quesnal Horses - Vermont Slaughterbound Horses No More in Lincoln, Vermont. (They are on facebook, too, with pictures!)

KC and Kathleen (don't know the whole story, so I'm sure it's a little blurry from my point of view) rescued these 16 horses from going to slaughter. They are now healthy, fed, and some have been evaluated.

They are in immediate need of Foster Homes, Adoptive Homes, Donations (hay, shavings, workers, money...)... Donations can be made for these horses through Spring Hill Horse Rescue (www.SpringHillRescue.com) and can be done through paypal and can be tax-deductible - please specify the Quesnal Horses when you make a donation.

Here is a list of a few of the horses that are available NOW...

Duchess: 23 year old red roan blanket appy mare. would do well with a considerate adult trail rider, exercise would be beneficial, she is a nice mare, I think, but cranky in the way of appy mares and she cribs. Not for a beginner but may be fun for someone who understands her. Further info after I ride her a few times.

Serra: 13 year old Arabian cross mare, chestnut with narrow blaze. In your pocket and rather pushy on the ground. Intensely focused when you present her with a challenge like loading on a trailer. about 15 hand, slim build, decent confirmation and movement. Assumed to be unbroke. Obviously needs an experienced handler.

Gabrielle: Arabian mare, appears to be purebred, chestnut with large star, a little smaller and slightly less pushy than Serra, but all of the above would apply. Approx 13.

Samwise the Brave: Approx 18 year old Arabian gelding, dark mahogany bay with small star, about 14 h, very cute, compact, somewhat straight in the hind legs but otherwise decent
confirmation. Shy, nervous, unbroke, but still seems to like people. Experienced handler.

Aliyah and Artax: Arabian mare and gelding, approx 18 and 15 years old, appear to be mother and son. in need of pet/retirement home. Mare is easy to handle and very pretty, tall. Gelding is tough to catch and handle. Both greys.

Phoebe: 7 year old dark palomino paint mare. appears to be broke but green. decent confirmation but a little downhill, good movement. about 15-15.1 h. very pretty, nice temperament. She is being further assessed and may be available for adoption or sale to an approved home for a higher fee to help pay for the others. She can be seen at a barn with an indoor.

New pictures available upon request.
