SHADOW
Status: available for adoption
*** retirement/lead line home ***
Percheron gelding
17hh
Age: approx. mid twenties
1700sh pounds
Adoption fee: $350
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: Shadow is a senior in good health, but a lot of expired/about to expire teeth.
Requirements: needs Alfalfa hay and senior grain to maintain weight.
What we know: Shadow is a senior who was previously Amish owned and most likely a buggy horse.
He is sweet and wants to be your friend, but he will take his time to warm up to a new person. He does not like small children around him, strange enough, but would love to find his very own adult to live his life out with. He has never been taught to properly pick up his feet so someone with experience and patience or trimming stocks is a must!
Shadow is starting to turn grey and is a beautiful senior who deserves a loving, pasture/retirement home.
CHARLIE
Status: available for adoption
***IN NEED OF TRAINING OR PASTURE HOME***
Belgian/cross gelding
16.3hh
Age: approx. mid teens
1600sh pounds
Adoption fee: $350
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: no special needs.
What we know: Charlie is "untouchable" with an unknown past. This poor soul must have been so traumatized in the past. He has been turned out with the herd, which has done him well. Even though extremely people shy, he loves treats and will stretch his head super long just to get one. He especially likes them over the fence where you can't get too close to him ;-)
He seems not halter broke and even when run in the chute and haltered, he is extremely nervous and will try to get away from you every chance he gets. He recently had his feet done on the trimming table for the first time since he's come to us and he was heavily sedated for that. . He has a club foot but is sound and is a very top of the pecking order horse. He seems to want to trust, but has a very hard time with it so will need someone with a lot of time and patience! We are currently working with him on becoming more approachable and we hope he will warm up to humans some!
​
GRACIE
Status: *** IN TRAINING***
Belgian mare
17hh
Age: 11 per Coggins
1700sh pounds
Adoption fee: TBD
Location: Helena/Montana (at trainer's)
Health: no special needs
What we know: Grace was a broodmare all her
life and was sold at auction because she did not "take".
She is very scared yet curious and gets along well with the herd.
She just started training in February of 2024 and we hope she will be able to become someone's partner!
MONTANA
Status: available for adoption
*** IN NEED OF TRAINING***
Percheron gelding
17hh+
Age: approx. early twenties
1700sh pounds
Adoption fee: $500
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: no special needs
What we know: Montana came to us with a severe bladder infection but is fine now. He takes some time to warm up to you. We have no history for him and have not evaluated him in riding or driving as of yet. We are currently working with him on catching and haltering and becoming a better citizen!
HENRY
Status: available for adoption
***IN NEED OF TRAINING***
Percheron/cross gelding
16.3hh
Age: approx. mid teens
1966 pounds
Adoption fee: $2500
Location:Corvallis/Montana
Health: no special needs
​
What we know: Henry is a former bucking horse who was sold due to not being the best bucker. He was purchased by a "Cowboy"
who trained him to ride, for 30 days and sold him at an auction "green". Our trainer did well with him and he was adopted, but the adopter and her trainer "could not get anywhere with him" so they returned him. Henry needs someone experienced who will train him further and build a relationship with him.He is a big boy at almost a ton! Henry was purchased at auction for $5100 and donated to the rescue. The purchaser wanted to ensure he would find a good home.
He has been turned out with the herd since coming back and enjoys his time with the other horses. He is super sweet on the ground and likes to be groomed and eat treats. He is easy to catch, but needs to learn yet how to pick up his feet and has only been trimmed on the table. Henry is drop dead gorgeous and waiting for his very own person!
​
BEAU
Status: ****available for adoption, lead line,
pasture pet***
Percheron gelding
17hh
Age: approx. early twenties
1500sh pounds
Adoption fee: $350
Location: Florence/Montana
Health: no known issues, but is a bit of a hard keeper when it comes to keeping weight on.
What we know: we have no history on Beau. He seems a bit people shy and takes a minute to warm up to you. He gets along fine within the herd, is pretty easy to catch, but does not like to pick up his feet. He has somewhat "crooked" feet and we'd just like to see a light person on him on lead-line or enjoying his life in pasture somewhere.
ROYAL
Status: ***possibly available for adoption
to the perfect home only***
Belgian gelding
17.3hh
Age: approx. 8-10 years old
2229 pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: blind in both eyes! Requires Vitamin
E in the winter months.
What we know: We have no history on Royal,
who came from a horse trader in Texas. He was treated for
EPM upon arrival and seems to be fine. He is completely blind,
but is a sweet, sweet Gentle Giant that could possibly ride with someone he can build some trust with.
Royal was starved in his last adoptive home where he lost 400+ pounds in the course of 6 months. After repossession, he has gained all his weight back and loves scratches and treats, yet some days he seems shy. Royal gets his feet trimmed on the trimming table, which is an easy, safe and quick process for him. We might adopt him out IF the right home comes along, but this will be a tough one given his blindness and that he has been let down at least twice previously!
BRAVEHEART
Status: ***available for adoption to
experienced home, needs training***
Belgian gelding
17hh
Age: approx. 3 years
1808 pounds
Adoption fee: $750
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: wobbler/neurologic in hind end
What we know: as per previous owner,
Braveheart got his head stuck in a feeder in the fall of 2023
and has shown neurological signs since.
Since coming to the rescue, he has had chiropractic, cranio sacral and acupuncture treatments. He has gained control of
his hind end since, but he is not 100%. We have gelded him since coming to the rescue and we do believe he can start training to be someones's riding partner - always knowing that his hind end is somewhat weak. He is a sweet, sweet boy who loves attention, treats and being groomed. He still needs to learn to pick up his feet, which might be tough for him, given his condition. He has been trimmed on the trimming table while being with us.
DAWSON NOT DAWSON
Status: ***available for adoption***
In need of training. Experience required!
Percheron gelding
17hh+
Age: approx. late teens/early twenties
1700sh pounds
Adoption fee: $500
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: no known issues
What we know: Dawson was sold as a former
6 hitch horse, which by DNA test turned out not
to be true. We have no other history on him, yet he is a "high strung" horse, people shy, and he just came back from two months of training deemed "untrainable", which was very discouraging. We are currently working on him getting more comfortable with us and being able to be caught, etc. Hopefully with some groundwork to follow. He will need someone with a lot of time and experience!
OLIVER
Status: ***available for adoption***
In need of training. Experience required!
Belgian cross gelding
16.3hh
Age: approx. mid teens
1500sh pounds
Adoption fee: $500
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: no known issues
What we know: Oliver came from an auction and we have no history on him. He just went through two months of training and deemed "untrainable", which made us really sad. He is thought to have been driven with a jockey-stick. Friendly on the ground, but takes of running if you come with a halter. Will take treats from you all day though! We are hoping to have him with a different trainer in the near future and are hopeful that his initial evaluation was wrong! He is stunning and we would love to see him make someone a beautiful partner!
SASSI
Status: ***available for adoption***
*** LEAD LINE OR YOUNG RIDER ONLY ***
Paint mare
15hh
Age: approx. mid/late teens
1100sh pounds

Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: previous injury to the hind end. High
steps occasionally and is on Bute.
What we know: She was once very well trained but was discarded
due to an accident, then given up by her new person due to health/financial issues. Sassi is a sweet, sweet mare who would be the perfect teacher for your kids or grandkids!
SLIM
Status: ***in rehab***
​
Belgian gelding
17.1hh
Age: early twenties
1600ish pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health:Slim came to us a bit underweight and very
lame. Xrays revealed a slight rotation in the coffin bone. He received a good trim and is awaiting shoes to help him walk better
He is a sweet, sweet big boy who will be looking for a loving retirement home!
ANNE
Status: ***in rehab***
​
Clydesdale mare
17hh
Age: mid-late teens
1700ish pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health:Anne came to us from a Montana auction and had to spend a few days at the vet clinic due to a suspected impaction. She then developed an upper respiratory infection, but got better with some antibiotics onboard. We have found she has CPL (chronic progressive lymphedema) in all four legs, which we are currently treating, so it will be a while before she will be evaluated for adoption! There is no cure for CPL but it can be managed!
HANDSOME
Status: ***awaiting evaluation***
​
Percheron gelding
17hh
Age: mid-late teens
1500ish pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: this handsome boy came to us from a local Montana
auction and is underweight, with an infection in both eyes, which has been treated with steroids and thankfully did not damage his vision. He is sweet yet shy, but loves hanging with the herd. He is ready for an evaluation as soon as the weather cooperates and we hope to be able to find him his very own person!
SADIE
Status: ***available for adoption, broke to
drive, but has hock joint problems***
​
Belgian mare
16.3hh
Age: 18yrs
2005 pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: Sadie is a local owner surrender who use to pull wagons, but she was getting up in age and started to have some arthritis in her hocks and fronts. Our vet determined the best course of action will be Bute as needed for this sweet girl, who gets around just find, but should not be pulling hard anymore!
KARLA & BLYTHE
Status: ***in rehab, can be adopted together
or separately once available***
Percheron/QH cross mares
16.1hh ish
Age: 11 yrs
Karla: 1628 pounds
Blythe: tbd
Adoption fee: $2000 each
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: these girls were broodmares in Canada until they were sold at a Montana auction on Nov 25, 2023. They were said to be confirmed pregnant.
However, Karla had a discharge that was already noticeable at auction, so we had her checked out right away and it turns out she is not pregnant, but had a severe uterus infection, which we are still dealing with now, in March of 2024. Once healed up, Karla will be able to find her very own person who wants to work with her and train her. She is very sweet, a little hesitant when being caught, but willing. She still needs to learn to lead properly but does better every time we work on it and she is loading like a champ after a few vet visits! Someone can make her a nice riding or driving partner, we are sure!
​
Blythe was finally confirmed pregnant in March of 2024 for a May baby! Blythe will have her baby at the rescue and the baby will be weaned around 4-6 months of age. Blythe will not be available for adoption until then.
​
Both girls were said to be pretty much unhandled, but turned out to be super curious and "want to be in your space". They both love treats and have learned to take a halter, lead and load.
​
I am finding that they are NOT bonded, even though they are said to be sisters, but they both seem to be fine without each other and are also fine with other horses. While they make a nice matching team, we are willing to split them and adopt them out separately.

Health: has really bad teeth that need to be checked every 6

Health: these two are absolutely the sweetest and will only be adopted out together! They are both older and have gained quite a bit of weight since their arrival, which we are really happy with! We don't know anything about their past and are not sure they are broke to ride and/or pack. But a retirement life would be awesome for these two! They stand for the farrier when you keep them close together for comfort and they are just super sweet on the ground!

evaluation***
​
Belgian gelding
17hh
Age: early twenties
1600ish pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: Doug got a pretty clean bill of health, besides the usual "I am older and have some arthritis and some missing and expired teeth" type of thing ;-) He is a sweet, yet shy boy who loves attention but is scared once he actually gets it. We are excited to get some more weight on him and learn more about his personality in the weeks to come! He's been in the round pen a few times, but definitely needs a good refresher at least!

in need of training***
​
Percheron gelding
16.3hh
Age: 19yrs
1823 pounds
Adoption fee: $500
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: Gunner is a healthy late teenager who came from a big ranch pulling wagons. But Gunner is very sensitive to noise and rather reactive, so he was surrendered to the rescue. He is a stout, stunning, true black Percheron who would benefit from a lot of one on one time and desensitizing! He is curious and will come up to you in the pasture for treats!
FRANNY
Status: ***in training***
​
Belgian mare
17.1hh
Age: tbd
approx. 1650 pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Helena/Montana (at trainer's)

rescue in November of 2023. She was a broodmare in Canada and was sold at auction due to "too many horses". She was reported to just having had a baby weaned off of her. Franny is extremely shy and untrusting of humans, and just started training in February of 2024. We hope she will learn that humans are not all that bad and we hope she can become someones partner!
LEO

Belgian gelding
171hh ish
Age: 20-25 yrs
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Michigan
Health: Leo we assume was an Amish
work horse and has not had the best life.
He is in need of some weight and looks like he was just left in
a field for some time. He was just diagnosed with EPM and we are currently treating him for that. Leo is a sweet, sweet boy who deserves a beautiful retirement home!
BENNY
Status: ***will be heading to sanctuary***
​
Belgian gelding
16.3hh ish
Age: late tennager
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Emory/TX
Health: Benny we assume was an Amish
horse and is said to be broke to drive. He
found himself in the Elkhart/Texas auction, but they only lead
him through. He looked stiff in his hind end at auction and has been on Bute, but when we took him to the vet for stifle xrays, he did not cooperate at all, so we will give him some more time and keep him on Bute to be comfortable. Benny deserves a beautiful retirement home and will be headed to sanctuary shortly!
Belgian Stallion
Status: ***in rehab***
Belgian: 8 months
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT

they have no issues. He does seem to have dropped pasterns, but

​
​
Mini gelding
Approx. 30 inches

We hope to be able to correct his feet but will assume at least a year for rehab!
