CHARLIE
Status: IN TRAINING
​
Belgian/cross gelding
16.3hh
Age: approx. mid teens
Weight: 1600sh pounds
Feet: table trimmed with sedation
]Adoption fee; n/a
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: no special needs.
What we know: Charlie has been "untouchable" for the longest time 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. Charlie gets heavily sedated for his trim on the farrier table. 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! We have a halter on him and we are working on clipping a lead rope on and off so we can walk with him, but it remains a challenge!
​
MONTANA
Status: in training
Percheron gelding
17hh+
Age: approx. early twenties
Weight: 1700sh pounds
Feet: table trimmed with
sedation.
Adoption fee: tbd
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 on him and have not evaluated him in riding or driving as of yet. We are currently working with him on catching, haltering, leading and overall becoming a better citizen! Montana is quite scared of things so we are trying to expose him to things like the tractor or simply "stuff" sitting alongside the arena. He stands to be brushed and we are also working with him on lifting his feet! He is a sweet yet scared boy!
BRAVEHEART
Status: *** only available for adoption as a
companion horse***
NEUROLOGIC IN THE HIND END
Belgian gelding
17hh
Age: approx. 3 years
Weight: 1808 pounds
Feet: table trimmed
Adoption fee: $500
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 performed the procedure on our trimming table, which allowed us to get him up right away! 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 and may very well always need this accommodation.
We believe it might be too dangerous to train him as a riding horse, definitely as a driving horse, so if you are looking for a great, lovable, drop dead gorgeous draft horse to love and spoil, Braveheart is your man!
DAWSON NOT DAWSON
Status: ***available for adoption***
Currently in training as of August 2024
Percheron gelding
17hh+
Age: approx. late teens/early twenties
Weight: 1700sh pounds
Feet: table trimmed
Adoption fee: tbd
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. He turned out to be "too much horse" for the people who purchased him - and clearly not who he was sold as - so they donated him to the rescue and asked us to take good care of him and find him a good home.
​
Dawson came to the rescue where in the meantime he has gained 300+ pounds to put him at a good weight. We have worked with him a lot on gentling, haltering and leading as well as picking up his feet. He just recently left for driving training and we are excited to see his progress!
OLIVER
Status: ***green broke to ride,
available for adoption to experienced home***
LIKES LIVING IN A HERD
Belgian cross gelding
16.3hh
Age: approx. mid teens
Weight: 1500sh pounds
Feet: table trimmed with sedation
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: no known issues
​
What we know: Oliver came from an auction and we have no history on him. At the end of 2023 he 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 off running if you come with a halter. Will take treats from you all day though!
So we sent him to a different trainer in April of 2024 where he spent four months and he can now be haltered and led, and he has been ridden. He is green broke at best and still needs someone to work with him quite a bit on getting more comfortable.
Oliver is a stunning horse and we would love to see him make someone a beautiful partner!
SADIE
Status: ***available for adoption as pasture pet only,
broke to drive, but has hock joint problems***
​
Belgian mare
16.3hh
Age: 18yrs
Weight: 2005 pounds
Feet: table trimmed
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!
SNOW
Status: ***awaiting evaluation***
Percheron mare
16.1hh ish
Age: 20ish yrs
Weight: 1600ish pounds
Feet: table trimmed
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: Snow is an older girl who is sometimes
unsure of humans still. She'll take a treat one day but not the other and catching is still a challenge. She is blind in her right eye, yet enucleation has not been deemed necessary by our vet as of yet. Miss Snow was one of the lucky 1H@AT19 that came to us in January of 2024 and she currently enjoys life within the herd!
HENRY
Status: available for adoption
***Companion horse***
FORMER BUCKING HORSE
DOES NOT WANT TO BE RIDDEN
Percheron/cross gelding
16.3hh
Age: approx. mid teens
Weight: 1966 pounds
Feet: table trimmed, but picks up fronts
now, working on hinds!
Adoption fee: $750
Location:Corvallis/Montana
Health: no special needs but currently has thin soles, so he gets sore easily.
​
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 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 but during a recent animal communication session, he expressed that he does not trust himself NOT to buck and therefore and for the safety of all, does not want to be ridden. He does, however, want to be loved and cared for and there are other ways to spend time with your horse aside from riding and driving! Do some groundwork, some liberty work, brush him and love on him, take him on walks - he will so enjoy that!
DOUG
Status: available for adoption as a
companion horse
​
​Belgian gelding
17hh
Age: early twenties
Weight: 1600ish pounds
Feet: table trimmed with sedation
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
What we know: He is a sweet, yet very shy boy who loves attention but is scared once he actually gets it. He is presenting to be a bit of a challenge when it comes to putting on weight, which is "normal" with older drafts. Given his age, Doug might best benefit from retirement and just being loved on while he is living out his days. He has been trimmed on the trimming table while at the rescue and as so many others, has a hard time standing for the farrier.
GUNNER
Status: available for adoption
DRIVES
​
Percheron gelding
16.3hh
Age: 19yrs
1823 pounds
Adoption fee: $500
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: dust allergies, receives daily Zyrtec currently/during the summer months.
Gunner is a gorgeous late teenager who came from a big ranch pulling wagons. But they described Gunner as 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, but can quickly turn around and run away if he feels pressured.
We have put the harness on him and ground driven him and he did beautifully!
​
Gunner does pick up all four feet, yet we trim him on the trimming table. What a beautiful partner he would make for someone who would want to do some light driving. Gunner is not broke to ride as far as we know, hence we have not ridden him.
THEODORE
Status: ***in rehab after bilateral OCD surgery,
loose bone fragments in both hocks***
​Belgian gelding
17.1hh
Age: 3ish
Weight: approx. 1500 pounds
Feet: table trimmed, rough shape!
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
Health: Theo is a young Belgian gelding who was sold at a Montana auction in September of 2024. He had some bodywork already since his arrival here since he seemed rather weak in his hind end.
He has bilateral OCD (Osteochondrosies dissecans) in his hocks, which means he has little pieces of bone floating around that need to be surgically removed.
He is a sweet boy who enjoys treats and we look forward to getting to know him better and finding him a forever home after surgery and recovery!
Mabel
Status: ***available for adoption***
DRIVES
Belgian Molly Mule
Adoption fee: $400
Feet: table trimmed. Lifts feet
hesitantly and will need some work!
Location: Corvallis/MT
Health: Mabel is a sweet girl and loves to be brushed and loved on, yet she is a little more hesitant when it comes to her ears! She will pick up her feet, but will need some training to hold them up for the farrier. We don't know her history but we did put her in harness and she ground drove ok. She is an older girl but could do light, light work with someone that wants to do some leisure driving. She just wants to be loved and treated right, like all animals do! Mabel is a love to have around and an absolute beauty to look at!
FRANK THE TANK
Status: ***in rehab. Won't be availabe
for at least a year, if at all***
​
​
Mini gelding
Approx. 30 inches
Age: 5ish
Weight: approx. 207 pounds
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT
Health:Frank the Tank sadly seems to have been neglected for quite some time with all of his feet being in terrible shape. He has had two trims so far with the next one being scheduled for early April and will be done at the vet office and with radiographs. We hope to be able to correct his feet but will assume at least a year for rehab! Little Franky gets around well, however, and remains feisty and a bit frightened, but is slowly but surely learning to love treats!
BEN
Status: ***AWAITING EVALUATION***
Spotted draft gelding
Approx. 15.1hh
Age: 20ish
Weight: 1662
Feet: table trimmed 10/27
Adoption fee: tbd
Location:Corvlallis/MT
Health: Ben tested positive for Cushings and is now on Prascend to help regulate it. He will have to be dry lotted and have grass hay only. ​Ben is a sweet boy who has lots of life left in him and he is a looker for sure! He is an older boy but don't let his age fool you, he's got some spice left in him and I am excited to evaluate him soon!
RON
Status: ***awaiting evaluation***
Belgian Draft John Mule
17ish hh
Age: 20ish yrs
Weight: 1500ish pounds
Feet: stands for the farrier
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
​
​
​
Health: Ron is one of the lucky 1H@AT19 that came to us in January of 2024. He spent quite a few months in foster care in Kansas where he went through strangles and struggled with weight gain. He went on to foster care in Billings where he continued to gain weight and learned more about socializing! Ron is now at the main rescue facility in Corvallis and he is a beautiful soul who deserves his very own forever home!
LILY BLOOM
Status: ***PENDING ADOPTION***
BELGIAN MARE
Approx. 16.1hh
Age: 20ish
Weight: 1650
Feet: table trimmed 10/27
Adoption fee: $750
Location:Corvlallis/MT
Health: Lily seems to be in good health with no obvious concerns. She lifts her feet and stands tied nicely. Enjoyos brushing and treats.
​
We have not tried to ride or drive her at this point, but for sure she looks beautiful just hanging in the pasture!
SAMPSON
Status: ***green broke to ride, said
to be broke to drive***
Will need experienced handler!
Belgian Brabant cross?
16.1 1/2 hh
Age: 9-10 yrs
Weight: 1800 pounds
Feet: has been trimmed in stocks
Adoption fee: $5000
Location: Corvallis/Montana
​
​​​
Health: Sampson is a big boy even though he is not the tallest! He was sold in an auction in March of 2024, just to be resold in April of 2024 at the same auction, and he was listed in that same auction AGAIN for the September 2024 sale, but we reached out to the owners, had a donor who wanted him safe, and purchased him BEFORE the sale! Sampson is said to be green broke to ride with a buck and he was 'too fast and too forward" for walking in a string. He is said to be broke to drive and we are currently working with him on the ground to eventually evaluate him in both! He is a stunning, sweet boy who loves attention and treats!
Our first ride went well, yet it showed me that Sampson is really just green broke at best and didn't quite know what to do under saddle. He will need a lot of desensitizing as well since he is rather spooky. But we are working with him to get him more comfortable!
BLAKE (former Steve)
Status: *** in rehab ***
Belgian Gelding
Height: 17hh
Age: 2 years
Weight: 1600ish pounds
Feet:untouchable
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Crawford/Colorado
​
​​​
Health: Blake has been with us since April 2024 and was completely untouchable at auction. In his first few months of foster care he has learned to halter and lead but he has a ways to go to become a "good citizen." He is a young, stunning, tall boy who will eventually be looking for a family of his own!
BLACK BEAUTY
Status: *** awaiting evaluation ***
Black Percheron mare
Height: 17hh
Age: approx. 20 years
Weight: 2050 pounds
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT​
​​​
Health: We had Black Beauty pregnancy checked right away since she is rather large, but she is open, which was a relief! By her looks, she has had many babies in the past and we assume, maybe she was sold at auction because she didn't "take" anymore. She is a beautiful soul who was treated with antibiotics for 10 days due to an undetermined foul smell from her mouth, a possible tooth going bad. She is rather easy to catch, halters and leads just fine and is awaiting evaluation!
HANK
Status: *** awaiting evaluation ***
Black Percheron gelding
Height: approx. 16.1hh
Age: approx. 20 years
Weight: 1534 pounds
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT​
​​​
Health: Hank is an older guy who came to us from a local auction with an eye infection. Turns out he has iris-cysts in both eyes, which do not bother him and don't cause vision problems at this point. He came in with a full set of shoes so we assume he is well broke to ride. He is a sweet, older soul who's easy to catch, lead and load and he absolutely LOVES treats!
OSCAR
Status: *** awaiting evaluation ***
Black Percheron gelding
Height: approx. 16.1 hh
Age: approx. 25 years
Weight: 1426 pounds
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT​
​​​
Health: Oscar caught my attention at the auction because he is an older guy with a "flapping lip". Oscar seems to be in his mid twenties based on his (not so good) teeth! As a matter of fact, the vet removed two without any tools, just by hand, they were so loose! He has some collar marks so we assume he was a driving horse, but except for some very light riding or driving, he probably shouldn't be doing much more than that in his retirement years!
BELGIAN BABY, registered
Status: *** in quarantine ***
Blonde Belgian stallion
Height: approx. 13hh
Age: approx. 5 months
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Justin/TX​
​​​
Health: this little one was separated from his mom way to soon if you ask us and we felt we wanted to get him out of the auction pipeline asap so we purchased him! He is a bit shy still and needs some more imprinting to warm up to us but he will be a nice looking, big boy when he grows up!
Hotrod and Chuck
Status: *** in quarantine ***
Black Percheron Geldings
*bonded*
Height: approx. 17hh
Age: approx. 7 and 11 years old
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Justin/TX​
​​​
Health: Hotrod was sold at auction as "blind in one eye". Turns out he is completely blind and relies on his friend Chuck to be his seeing counterpart! They are handsome boys, lovable and in need of a home TOGETHER!!
Lady
Status: *** awaiting evaluation***
Belgian mare
Height: approx. 17hh
Age: late teenager
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Justin/TX​
​​​
Lady was run through the Elkhart/Texas auction and I purchased her after she was a no sale due to not meeting the seller's minimum. We did want to see her safe and out of the auction pipeline, so that's when 1H@AT stepped in! She's still settling in at her foster home and hopefully she'll be ready for evaluation soon!
She was said to be exposed to a stallion, but thankfully a vet check confirmed she is not pregnant!
COOKIE & CREAM
Status: ** in rehab ***
Age Cookie: 4 yrs
Baby Cream: approx. 6 mos
Weight: Cookie 1000 pounds
Feet: both are not handled to trim
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/Montana
​
​​​​
Health: this beautiful pair ran through the September 2024 Billings/MT auction and I found myself raising my hand and bidding when they were in danger of being sold to a notorious kill buyer from Colorado! The baby had a large wound on her left front, bloody and swollen. They came from an Indian Reservation and seem unhandled. The vet determined that the wound on baby was already healing and we couldn't touch the baby anyways to treat her. We are continuing to work on gentling both mom and baby!
ROSIE & TUCKER
Status: *** Rosie on try-out,
Tucker available for adoption ***
Rosie: Haflinger mare
Tucker: QH, possibly Arab Cross
Rosie: 13.2hh, Tucker: 15hh
Age: Rosie 21, Tucker 20
Weight: Rosie 978
Tucker: tbd
Feet:trimmed standing up
Adoption fee Rosie: $500
Adoption fee Tucker: $500
Location: Corvallis/Montana​
​​​
Health: They are not drafts, but one of their owner/s died and the other moved, so they needed a new home! Both were at first shy, but have warmed up immensely within a few days at the rescue. Rosie rides beautifully and even neck reins.
Tucker rides as well but will need someone with a bit of experience since he seems rather green. He has a crack in his left front hoof which will require a bar shoe if being ridden.
BUCKY
Status: *** awaiting evaluation ***
Shire or Clydesdale cross? gelding
Height: approx. 16.1hh
Age: unknown
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT​
​​​
Health: Bucky earned his name by having a typical bucking horse brand on him. Poor baby! He came in with a big knee, might have been an accident or is just bad arthritis if he proves to be older. He had pretty bad hooves upon arrival, but would not allow us to trim him on the table, he would lay down and simply refuse to get back up, so we let him be! He is super eager to eat treats out of your hand, but does not like the idea of being touched. It will be interesting to see how he turns out in the next few weeks and months!
FELIX
Status: *** awaiting evaluation ***
Black Percheron gelding
Height: approx. 17hh
Age: approx. 19-20 years
Weight: 1877 pounds
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Corvallis/MT​
​​​
Health: Felix is a drop dead gorgeous black Percheron gelding with no white markings whatsoever! He is a tall, stout boy who is in his late teens and we wonder, if it was just his age that landed him at auction. We have yet to evaluate him and see if he in fact rides and/or drives.
Clydesdale babies, registered
Status: *** in quarantine ***
Clydesdale stallions
Height: approx. 13hh
Age: approx. 6 months
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: $6500/pair
Location: Dish/Texas​
​​​
Health:These beautiful babies ran through the Elkhart/Texas
auction Nov 2 and were a no-sale because they didn't bring
enough money for the owner. I offered 500 under asking price and they accepted so I decided to get them out of the auction pipeline! They are doing well in quarantine and are sweet and approachable. Ideally they would find a home together and will be castrated before they move on to their new home!
Percheron mare, registered
*possibly in foal*
Percheron filly
Status: *** in quarantine ***
Blonde Belgian stallion
Height mom: approx. 17hh
Height baby: approx. 14hh
Age:mom 5 years, baby 7 months
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Justin/TX​
​​​
Health: mom is a bit thin and in need of TLC and baby is completely unhandled but healthy. Mom has a sad story, being out of a world champion stallion, ending up at an auction. If she is pregnant, she wlll have her baby at the rescue and have plenty of time with her baby before being weaned and possibly adopted out together. Same goes for her current 7 months old foal - we might or might not be separating them, so you might look at a 3-in-1 deal when their time for adoption comes ;-)
JEPP
Status: *** in rehab***
Roand Belgian Gelding
Height: approx. 17hh
Age: approx. early teens
Weight: approx. 1700 lbs
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Justin/TX​
​​​
Health: Jepp was diagnosed with EPM and is currently being treated for that. It shows in a weak hind end and we are eager to see if he'll take to the treatment! He is an absolutely stunning boy with a full tale and we hope he can help him!
Copper
Status: *** awaiting evaluation***
Belgian STALLION
Height: approx. 17hh
Age:early twenties
Weight: tbd
Feet: tbd
Adoption fee: tbd
Location: Justin/TX​
​​​
When we picked up Lady, we were asked by the auction house to take Copper as well since he was a no sale - no one wanted hime. How could we say no? He came home with us as well! It's always challenging to have an older stallion with us but MaryKatherine at Patch's Place where he is doing qt and being fostered, mastered the challenge! Copper has some swelling in this legs the vet could not quite diagnose and we are having him on anti-inflammatories plus he received some antibiotics and we're watching him closely to see how he does! Castration is questionable due to his age, so we are not quite sure yet about Copper's future. What we do know is that he is SAFE with us and well taken care of!
