Wow check out this fancy saddle! Our sale is this weekend and I am sure that this will be snatched up. We have many "fancy" saddles but this one we actually got provenance and price from the maker. This is what they sent us;
That saddle was called our Tennessean Deluxe. They were made from roughly 2000-2010 and were identical in every way to our Tennessean Supreme except the Supremes had a rear rigging dee while the Deluxes had a rear rigging slot. In 2011 The Deluxes were $950.00 but if we were to make that model today from our shop they would retail for over $3,000.00 so used value on that saddle in reasonably good condition would be $950.00, they have not lost their original value. All the Supremes and Deluxes shared the same width Tennessean Gaited Tree, a tree that we still use today in our Royales, Softees and Tennessean Trail Saddle although we now offer the Tennessean Gaited Tree in two widths. Below are the specs on the tree in your Tennessean Deluxe.

Gullet Width: 7"
Gullet Height: 8"
Bar Angle: 88.5 degrees
Bar Spread Width: 13"

Narrow twist, flared bars, rock

Tree length: 16" seat= 22" 17" seat=23

This Weekend! Oct 18,19, 20. Good news we will most likely extend the hours for another day or two. We have lots of leather stuff,wool stuff, fuzzy stuff, new stuff, blue stuff. Let's face it, there's a lot of stuff! Stuff for all of your equine needs, your kids needs, your bff's needs even aunt Lucy's needs. All at bargain prices. But as Victoria always says "Don't let our suggested prices limit your generosity" (it is for the orphan foals after all). All of these items have been graciously donated by our wonderful patrons like YOU! The funds raised will be put towards the upcoming foal season which will be coming up quickly. There is much to do before then and fund raising being the primary task. As we are all aware, the economic pressure of rising prices, coming on the heels of hard times has been putting a strain on all of us. Rescues tend to feel it first.
But there's good news! You can find some bargains here and help us continue to save orphan foals. Keeping the dream alive. The dream that we will be here as long as there are foals and adult horses in need. "Team work makes the dream work"
So save the date, make your arrangements. Come for the sale, stay for the snacks - yes there will be snacks. However, there will no beer at this Octoberfest but you can dance if you want to. The whole thing is slated for Oct. 18 from 1:00 to 6:00PM then Sat the 19th from 10:00 AM to 6PM Sun. the 20th from 10:00AM until around 2ish.

👀HELP WANTED💪 Last Chance Corral is seeking help. Regretfully, we will be losing our beloved Annie at the end of Sept. as she has found a good job in the field in which has been educated. Sad for us but perhaps it opens the door of opportunity for someone else. We are looking for an equine savvy helper for general horse farm activities (agricultural athlete). This job will require working with and around horses and caring for orphan foals. Must be someone that can interface with the public (visitors, adopters etc.) We need a confident, hardworking, responsible, self motivated, honest one in a million type of person. If you feel like you are that person, call Victoria 740-594-4336 for an interview.

The Last Chance Corral is a 501(c)3 horse rescue. Please call 740-594-4336 if you are interested!

Updated pricing.
Available for adoption.
"Boots" and "Nibbles" are here due to their owners' health situation. Because their owners' illness started 10-12 years ago, they have not seen use during this time.
They have separation issues (buddy sour) and they cannot focus on training if they can see or hear each other. Separating them may be beneficial to their future independence and success but they can certainly be adopted together.
They are in perfect health. They need someone who has the training knowledge and time to dial them back into the program. They are half brother and sister.It is difficult to tell them apart, dad sure did put his stamp on them! Nibbles was trained to the point of opening gates. Both were trail ridden before their hiatus. Pastured with cattle.
"Boots" 18yr.14.1HH Bay qtr pony mare. Foundation/reigner (papers unavailable) Adoption fee: 1000 ( negotiable )
"Nibbles" 18yr. 15.2 HH Bay qtr gelding. Foundation bred. Big bodied (papers unavailable) Adoption fee:1000 ( negotiable )

Hey! We need HAY!
We have been in a drought in this region (Athens OH). My hay man did not need to tell me this, he did however inform me of the consequences. Those being the 1500 reasons for this post. He will be short 1500 bails of quality horse hay from our standard yearly order. So if anyone out there knows of quality horse hay at a reasonable price let me know! 740-594-4336

"SONNY" 15.1 Hands. Chocolate palomino gelding. Quarter horse, papers are not available. He has been there,done that. From 4-H to the show ring, rental string etc. He is the most responsive loving horse on earth. He would make a wonderful family type trail. He one that you can go out on the trail and be assured that you will not be making a trip to the ER. In fact if you tried to fall off he'd probably try to put you back on! He's just that sweet. At 24 or 25 years old he doesn't need a big demanding job. He would be a great beginner 4-H horse (walk trot), Being an old pro, he slips into the smoothest jog on command. The perfect confidence builder. He's still got much to offer for the beginner or those that don't feel the need to thunder across the county.
Adoption fee: 1500.

OKTOBERFEST-TACK SALE- SAVE THE DATE!
Since the end of foal season we have really fallen silent, and we apologize for that. This time of year involves a lot of farm maintenance, with both large and small projects happening. (very busy)
In the last few years we have not had our annual "Oktoberfest" tack sale and simply sold off the donated items here and there as we could. However, when we have challenging economic times Non-profits suffer greatly. So with our monetary donations slowing considerably and the realization that our donated tack, blankets etc. had reached critical mass in our "Hope" barn, we've decided to put a major effort into clearing out and hopefully make some milk money for the next foal season. So for the next few months myself and my part time helpers Megan and Annie will be cleaning tack and washing up blankets and sorting through the mountain of boxes and bins to prepare for our big sale.
So save the date, make your arrangements. Come for the sale, stay for the snacks - yes there will be snacks. However there will not be beer at this Oktoberfest. The whole thing is slated for Oct. 18 from 1:00 to 6:00PM then Sat the 19th from 10:00 AM to 6PM Sun. the 20th from 10:00AM until around 2ish. SEE YOU THERE!!!

---> Adoption pending

The end of the foaling season is here. These are the last two foals at the farm and we will now be switching our focus to adult horses, farm maintenance and fundraising to prepare for next year. Thank you all for your support and for your assistance with spreading the word we truly do appreciate you all. We couldn't do it without you! See you next year with more beautiful babies. Meanwhile we will share some stories of past adoptions and of course will have available adult horses. ❤️

"Habibi" (my love) born 5-24-24 c**t. big blaze and socks at this time, however he will be grey as noted by his already appearing grey goggles! Sire is arabian and mom was described to me as a "home made job" half walker and half qtr type. He gaits and trots and he is spoken for. Sorry folks.
"Honorable mention" She is the last of the foals that we will be getting this year! Born 5-17-24 This appendix filly is absolutely exquisite! Articulate neck, floating trot, ooh la la. What a heart throb.She too is spoken for.

05/18/2024

Spotlight on "TIME AFTER TIME"! We received some interesting information from the actual sires owner Patricia Yates. Apparently her husband does vet work at the farm where the mare had been leased. They didn't have a teaser stallion so she offered her stud to do the deed when it was time to breed her back before being returned to the nurse mare farm. (It is a condition of leasing a nurse mare that the mare needs to be bred back before her return.) Patricia always keeps track of her babies, you may recall that we had one of her babies back in 2021. How does she know ? You might ask. Well, she has an agreement with the nurse farm that when the foal is born they send her a photo. She is definitely a breeder with a heart. She described the mare as a big loudly colored tovero paint that was quiet and sensible. Now, just how is it that two paints make a bay??? That's just one of life's mysteries but it happens all the time.
She asked us to please be sure that she goes to a good home. Well, that's what we do!
We will be offering her at a best offer/best home adoption fee to approve adopters when she is ready to be adopted. Please remember that we are 100% donor funded and maybe this filly can bring a little milk money for the others.
Here is the message we received from Patricia:
Hello Just letting you guys know that the filly named Time after Time on your website is by my Paint stallion Whata Asset. She just came out spotless... She should be a great mare though for whatever anyone would want to do!! He was a Reserve World Champion and known to produce extremely good minded baby's that are very user friendly!! ❤️

"Cinder-Block" born 5-3-24 Ranch stock qtr type black c**t. He is the horse of a different color each year he will shade down but ooh-la-la, I love those dapple greys.

Being as young as these two are we wouldn't feel comfortable with them traveling more than a 6 hour drive.
"Hot rod" is still going through the usual foal diarrhea but he should be getting over it soon. "possum" is sure to be getting it soon. They all go through it.

So proud! Thank you Stacy Westfall

Look who’s working at the Kentucky derby today!
Little Justice, the orphan I adopted from Last Chance Corral eight years ago! I raised him until the fall of that first year, and then we donated him to Asbury University to be trained as a future police horse.
It’s rewarding to know that I was part of his story, and I’m also very aware to all the others who invested in him and are still investing in his future.
It’s a great reminder that sometimes it’s enough to be a piece of the story. The Equine world is big and there are many amazing people in it.❤️

(ADOPTED) Our Darling "Delilah" born 3/21/24 This stunning Appendix qtr filly is absolutely correct. Her elegant movement, long legs, short back, super personality, handles well, bathes regularly, just perfect! And more lovely than an Irish sunrise. I just can't say enough about her and check out the booty!She can go as a single and her adoption fee is only 300.

If the adoption fee is not listed, it is because we are hoping for maybe a little extra milk money.🙂
