Unrideable/Compainion Only

There is no fee or donation for companion/unrideable horses. However, HPAF is operated through donation only and your donations are welcomed and always needed.  The only way HPAF can continue to be able to care for rescued horses and continue taking in horses in need is through your generosity.

Annie

Annie is a lovely paint mare, easy to handle and gets along with other horses.

Cassie

Cassie is an aged mare, very kind gentle mare who desperately needs a home, great with other horses.

Sweetie

13 yr old QH cross mare, was never trained, good companion.

Miss M

The Divine Miss M is a 17 year old Mustang mare. She will allow someone to catch her in an enclosed area if you are quiet and move slowly. She was handled daily for the past four months and stands quietly for grooming. She does not want her mouth touched but we can brush her head and wipe her eyes. After working with her for three months and teaching her to pick up her feet, she was tranquilized for trimming and did very good.

Starlet Dancer

16 yr TB mare should go north, she has trouble with the heat.

Britches

13 year old App mare, missing an eye, great with people, protective of her blind side around other horses, easy keeper.

Moo Moo

16hh TB gelding. Super sweet, affectionate horse. Not rideable, companion only. Can do Parelli Games.

Bucky

16 year old miniature gelding, special needs high maintenance. Buck foundered in the past, but he is doing well with regular trimming from Podiatrist April Dahl and a holistic program from Dr. Lynn Peck and a very strict diet. Bucky did not sweat last year and needed to be clipped, in front of a fan and hosed multiple times throughout the day last summer. With the program from Dr. Peck he has had sweat recently in the warm weather so we have our hopes up but he may still need to be clipped and in front of a fan. We would like him to remain in the area so that his farrier and vet can remain the same.

Voltaire

Voltaire is unrideable due to an old injury. Timid from past abuse but learns to trust the person who is feeding, grooming and loving on him.

Starr

Starr is a 12 year old QH mare. She was neglected after her owner died and the halter left on her cut into her head and caused a severe injury that was left untreated. Starr gets along with people fine if you are a confident leader, however if the person is meek or baby’s Starr, Starr will become aggressive. If the person is not in charge then she will be in charge. Easy, easy keeper, and she was a riding horse in the past. Plays the Seven Games and learned readily to accept new rules for ground manners even at 12 years of age.

Karma

10 year old 14hh large pony, an adult only home as she can be reactive and will panic at times. Most of the time she is good to handle but she can be reactive for seemingly no reason. A natural horsemanship home would be great as she can play the Seven Games which help her greatly. Not safe for riding.

Summer

5 year old Halflinger cross, very good manners, we use her for the students attending Podiatry courses. Old injury to front ankle makes her unrideable but she could play the Games.

Woody

Easy QH draft cross keeper, powerful horse, needs an experienced person, not sound

Cindy Lu

Cindy Lu is a 25 year old Appaloosa mare that loves attention and grooming. She is a very sweet and kind mare that is seeking a retirement home where she will receive lots of love and attention.
