Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society A non-profit equine welfare organization dedicated to helping starved, abused, abandoned and estray

Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society is a nonprofit rescue organization and equine welfare community. We rescue, rehabilitate, retrain, and rehome horses from neglect and abuse cases, horses who have been abandoned, and horses whose owners can no longer keep them. Fueled by a growing community of owners, caretakers, and equine-related specialists, we offer owner assistance programs that help owners ca

re for, and keep, their horses. We also assist with disaster relief efforts and provide educational opportunities to improve the quality of horse care in Texas and beyond.

“A holistic approach to equine care not only improves the health of the horse but also enhances the emotional bond between the animal and its caretaker.”
Dr. John J. Krai, a veterinary behaviorist

“Strong, informed communities are essential for advancing ethical standards and fostering a culture of care within the equine industry.”
The Equine Welfare Alliance

Our community uniquely provides a vital network of empathy, understanding, and encouragement fundamental to fostering a sustainable and joyful relationship with horses and other equines. It has been well documented that when we immerse ourselves in a community that nurtures our interests, we do not merely pursue our goals; we excel in them. And we become more resilient, more dedicated, and ultimately, more successful. Our community is not merely a network of rescuers, horse owners, or equine enthusiasts but instead a sanctuary of compassion, a center of knowledge, and a beacon of holistic support for both horses and their caretakers.

The lovely Oren N Rayne will be looking for her forever home at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo on October 4th in Taylor, Texas. Oreo N Rayne is a stout, pretty girl with a heart as big as her stride. She is sweet, people-oriented, and always eager to learn. She’s a nine year old (perfect age!), 15.1 hh, Tennessee Walking Horse – so she’s gaited and should be so comfy to ride once trained!

Oreo N Rayne is one of the lucky horses: her previous owner loved her and cared for her, and when she couldn’t keep her she entrusted her to us to both train and then place her with a loving adopter.

Her Challenge partner has started Oreo N Rayne under saddle, and while she's still green she is indeed doing very well. She's smooth to ride, responsible, and willing to learn.

Oreo is the kind of mare who wants nothing more than to bond with her person. From once running from the halter to now being the first to come greet you, she has shown how much she values connection. With her kind nature, smooth gaits, and eager-to-please attitude, she’s on her way to becoming a versatile, family-friendly riding partner. With more training, Oreo will be a lifetime of fun, adventure, and love.

Her adoption fee is $3,500 but will be half price if she's adopted at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo. You can learn more about Oreo N Rayne at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578058164812

Wow! Look at Saffire - someone is going to get lucky adopting her! She's competing int he Professional Division of the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge and will be available for adoption at the event on October 4th in Taylor, Texas.

Saffire is a 12 year old, 14.3 hh, unregistered QH. She is a striking and athletic mare who has made tremendous progress in both her training and confidence since arriving at Bluebonnet. She came to us through the courts after being removed from negligent owners and had very little handling before age ten. Despite that late start, she has shown herself to be both smart and willing. Saffire entered the Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge in 2024, where she built a solid foundation and gained valuable experience, though she wasn’t yet ready to safely compete under saddle at that time. She’s back in the 2025 Challenge, and she’s been started under saddle and is ready for someone to take her training to the next level!

She's come a long ways - from wild to an awesome riding and working horse. She's being ridden at the walk, trot, and canter in the round pen, arena, and open fields. She's going over and through obstacles and, as you can see in the video, her trainer has been throwing a rope off of her. She’s brave with obstacles, loves to please, and is steadily gaining confidence. She’ll thrive in a home where she has a job and consistent handling. Her trainability and calm demeanor on the ground make her a rewarding project for the right rider.

Her adoption fee is $4,000 but will be half price if she's adopted at the Expo!

Amora is one of our In Hand Training Challenge horses who will be looking for an adopter on October 4th at the Bluebonnet Horse Expo in Taylor, Texas. She is a striking chocolate gaited pony with a thick, flaxen mane and tail. She came to Bluebonnet after being removed from neglect, and she has made tremendous progress thanks to patient foster homes, trainers, and volunteers.

Amora competed in the 2017 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge (In-Hand Division) and placed 5th! She was adopted by a Bluebonnet volunteer who met her at the Expo. She loved Amora, who she called Molly, and kept her as a pretty pet. Amora was pampered and loved but never ridden or worked during the seven and a half years she spent with her adopter. Amora’s adopter returned her in early 2025 when she retired and moved out of state.

Amora is 25, but don't let that scare you away because no one has told her her age! She stands a petite 13 hh tall. She's sweet on the ground, although she may take just a bit to get to know you first, and she's one of those rare horses who seems to be spookier on the ground than she is under saddle.

Although her Training Challenge competitor is showing in hand, she has also started to ride Amora. While Amora can be brought back into light work by a confident intermediate or above rider, she would also be happy living as your pet and adorable pony friend, keeping a lonely horse company, or doing some in hand obstacles.

Amora overcame neglect and fear of people, and now she chooses to seek out attention and cuddles. Despite being nervous, she has never kicked or pinned her ears. She’s a kind mare who just wants to trust. Amora is amazing because she’s a gentle, willing, and resilient pony who has already proven she can overcome challenges and shine with the right partner.

Her adoption fee is $1,200, but it'll be half price if she's adopted at the Expo. If you think Amora might be your next equine friend, please visit our website and get your adoption application in.

Don’t miss Dr. Marczak’s lecture on Equine Dentistry in the Presentation room at 11:00AM during the Bluebonnet Horse Expo on October 4th in Taylor, Texas. Proper care of your horse’s teeth is essential to it’s health and well-being. Mary will walk you through why it’s important, the process and what to look for in a good equine dentist.

Dr Marczak is mixed animal veterinarian currently practicing in the La Grange and surrounding areas. After graduating from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1994, most of the following years were spent owning and operating her own mixed animal hospitals in Granbury, Texas. After she sold her practices, she acquired her Acupuncture Certification at Chi University in Florida. Since moving to La Grange, she still practices mixed animal veterinary medicine but primarily performs equine dentistry and acupuncture.

If you are looking for a striking, unusually-colored riding horse but Geordi was too small, you might consider Mr. Lee! He's a 15 year old, 14.3 hh, gelding. His genetic test tells us he’s part Quarter Horse, Hanoverian, and Selle Francais. He came to Bluebonnet when his previous owner could no longer care for him and entrusted us to find him a loving forever home. His story is a special one — originally rescued from neglect, then purchased as a companion, and now given the chance to shine as a riding partner. Mr. Lee is kind, smart, and loves attention. He’ll even smile for cookies!

He's a sweet guy who is doing well with his Training Challenge partner. He's good on the ground, lunges well, and has been ridden in a round pen, arena, and open fields. He's been ntroduced to obstacles, trail riding, and even water crossings. He's calm around dogs, cattle, and new environments. He's also popped over small logs and may have potential for light English/jump work.

He has been diagnosed with navicular but is doing great with Equioxx and shoes and pads.

Mr. Lee is a joy to work with and loves to learn. He’s gone from anxious and green to confidently tackling trail rides, obstacles, and arena work. He’s the kind of horse who will give his person his whole heart — nickering for you at the gate, standing for grooming, and carrying you through new adventures. He’s sensitive and intelligent, so he’ll do best with someone experienced who can give him clear directions and continue his training. He could make someone an awesome show horse with more training or be a fun trail or pleasure horse.

His adoption fee is $2,500 but will be half price if he's adopted during the Expo. If you are interested in adopting Mr. Lee or another Bluebonnet horse, you'll need to get your adoption application in so we can get you approved and ready to go!
