WIN A MUSTANG!!!
We are raffling a Mustang and we don't mean a car. Go visit our 'Ready For Adoption' page and see Desert Rose. She is a 6 yr old mustang mare. She comes from the Calico Mountains in Nevada. But wait, before you buy your tickets, she may be bred. You may need to be prepared for two horses instead of one.
Raffle tickets are; one for $5, two for $8 and three for $12. You can purchase tickets from now until July 31st at the All-Around Western Superstore at 8214 Hutchins Dr, Cheyenne, WY (Take I-80 East from Cheyenne to the Campstool Exit, you can view the map on our 'Calendar of Events' page) or online here on our 'Horse Raffle' page. The drawing will be held at Murdoch's on East Lincolnway and College on July 31st at 3:00 pm.
Chief Standing Bear
Chief has a new family and a new name. He is now Sultan and Sully is his nickname. He will be 1 year old in July. We got to see him grow and change. We are so blessed with that. More changes are coming his way. He will be a gelding real soon but will be better off that way. He has begun his formal training with his feet. Next step, the farrier. We are happy for you, Sully.
Coco
Coco the minihorse has news. His new family called us yesterday and gave us an update on this good lookin' fella. But some background for you folks that don't know his story: Coco came from Nebraska. He was a neglected, abused stud miniature horse. He spend 8 years in a pen with no companions other than his owner. The owner would wrestle with the horse as if he were a dog and would also just flat out slug him in the face. He had foundered at some point at least once and had terrible feet. Long story short, a lady told us about him and she had talked the owner into relinquishing him to us. We had him gelded shortly after arriving here and took some of the length off his hooves. Some wonderful people adopted him in October of 2009. There was no doubt in my mind that these people would love him and take good care of him. They understood his special hoof needs and were willing to take it on. I am showing you some pics from when he was brought here and one of him from yesterday (May 9, 2010).
The pic on the left is the original length when he got here. The pic on the right is the length after his first farrier experience in his life. This was a nine year old horse. The new owners sent me this following pic yesterday. What an improvement. It will still take some time to get his feet where they need to be but just look at how wonderful his feet are now.

Another happy ending!
Our mustang gelding, Lakota Warrior has found a generous, loving new family to take good care of him. For such an amazing horse, it's what he deserves.

Good news! Henry the Boxer has found a new home...with another Boxer. I can just see two dogs bouncing around in a square with Boxing gloves on. Ding, ding, ding. Congratulations, Henry.
