Urgent Plea for Horses Near Black River Falls


Friends,

If you are considering adoption at this time, or even fostering, we have an immediate need for three ASAP horses that must be moved within the next week. They are located near Black River Falls. They are all healthy. They are all trained to ride. One is an older mare named Quinny. She is a 15 hand solid bay with thin mane and tail. She has been a trails horse and a brood mare and has had two homes in the past ten or more years. Little Jeffrey John has been a family horse of mind but is owned by ASAP. He went to this home last summer after being on turnout in a nearby pasture....and the family fell in love with him and wanted to adopt him. He is a little black bay - 15 hands tall - and approximately 13 years old. He has been on trails in South Dakota and has demonstrated at Minnesota Horse Expo. He is a character, and will try to untie his lead ropes when bored. He also has been known to open a gate or two! He has been a horse for beginners, but sometimes will play games with people who are timid. He does not buck, but may turn in circles when you are trying to mount, etc. He is a good little guy and certainly can come back to ASAP if needed. The third is Dueling Fox, a gelding from Michigan who was retired after a race injury to an ankle. He was retrained to ride and this is his second home. He is gentle and about 15'1 hands tall......bay. The adopters, at this point, are not willing to trailer back to ASAP for unknown reasons. They have given ASAP an ultimatum to have the horses removed within a week, "or else"........ While this is clearly not part of the contract expectations, I am putting feelers out to see if anyone is close enough to either be able to trailer to the ASAP farm or take a horse to Baraboo (Quinny has a home there if someone can transport her).

I'm reaching out for help - let me know what I can do for you and vise versa. Thanks so much for being there for the horses!
