Arie,Arie has been lightly started under saddle as was doing great until she came up sore on her front after being put to work. Arie became sore on the front and we noticed possible pigeon fever on her chest. After a vet visit, pigeon fever was confirmed and xrays show the need for shoes on the front. Arie will be going back into rehab for her pigeon fever with her new front shoes until she can come back into training. This sweet mare has been great during all of this, she is sweet, easy to handle, good with her feet, excellent ground manners and loves attention. She is easy to saddle, groom, and has a great start on her riding career. Look for her in the spring.

If you would like to help with Ari’s vet and rehab expenses, we have attached a donate button below. Thank you all.

Update
We are so sorry, but the post was incorrect regarding Ruby having pigeon fever . We will be posting Arie as she has pigeon fever and is currently off the adoption list. 

Update on Ruby...
This mighty little coming 4 year old filly, standing at 13.1 hh, has had a couple of quick rides on her. She is very sure footed and is learning how to control her body with a rider. She is very light and responsive. Ruby is easy to groom, tack up and great with her feet. Ruby was shy and apprehensive when she first came in, she didn’t want to be groomed or touched for that matter, now she is at the gate waiting for you. This little girl is really going to be something with the right person. She will require a smaller rider because of her deminutive size.

Tyrion had his first visit to Sweet River Equine. He is in very good health. He's a really nicely proportioned miniature who is approximately 4 1/2 turning five. He will be going back in to see Dr. Sweet on January 18th for castration.
We already have several people interested in this guy. I'm sure he will get a wonderful home. We will keep you updated!

Core is a 8 years old 15 HH quarter horse type. His adoption fee is $2500. If you’re interested in Core, please contact Jeannine at 209-614-2338.
Before you come to see him, you will need to fill out an adoption application, which is on our website oakdaleequinerescue.org

If you would like to help with course training, we have attached a donation button below. Thank you for watching.

Here's what OER Trainer Dani Jeitz has to say about him...

"Core had his first real ride yesterday, he is very soft, responsive and willing. This horse has come a long way. He’s easy to handle on the ground, groom, saddle, fly spray, good with his feet, etc. He bits up nicely, pays attention while being worked from the ground and is taking to being ridden like a champ. This horse is very athletic and could go in any direction, I can’t wait to get him out on trail. He does still have a couple of quirks when he doesn’t understand something but will come right back to you. Core will be an excellent partner with more training."
We have also posted a video of his movement in the comments below.

UPDATE ON CORE AND INTERN...
Both boys were doing very well at MJC Equine Program. They are being moved to work with Dani Jeitz due to MJC having construction done at their barn.
These two came to OER from Animal Control as part of the 2nd Lisa Dunkley siezure.
Core and Intern are seven years old now. Intern is 14hh.
We appreciate MJC/Julie Haines for the work her students have done with Core and Intern, and are looking forward to see Dani take them to the next level!

UPDATE ON RUBY...
Ruby is small but mighty appendix, standing at 13.1hh and 760 lbs and 3 1/2 years old. She is very athletic. She is currently working on her groundwork under saddle and has a very quiet personality.
Ruby has not yet been ridden, but is carrying a snaffle and saddle without issue, and has not offered to buck with a saddle.
Her ground manners are great. Ruby loves attention, is good with her feet and up to date with all vaccinations. Ruby will require a smaller rider as she is not a large horse and probably will fill out but not get much taller. She is hind high right now, so she does still have some growing to do.
Ruby is starting her bridle work and will be ready for a rider soon.
Her current adoption fee is $1,250.00 but will increase with continued training.
If you are interested in this petite beauty, please visit our website at www.oakdaleequinerescue.com to fill out an application and adoption agreement with the name RUBY on the top.

UPDATE ON ARIE...
We are continueing to work with Arie, we went back to the basics on her ground work to work on the go forward. She is now back under saddle with a rider and doing much better. She is walking and trotting nicely, she does still need some motivation, but is not as hesitant and is now comfortably moving forward. She has not offered to buck, she is soft and light in her turns, and her stop is solid, her backup and go forward still need some work.

Arie is very athletic and once she understands she is free to move under saddle, she has the potential to be a nice trail and/or potentially a gymkhana horse. She is amazing on the ground, she ties, good with her feet and up to date with all vaccinations. She love to be groomed and attention.

This young lady is ready for her own person, preferably some one with training experience or a trainer.

Her current adoption fee is $1,500 but will go up with continued training.

Joey has been adopted! Congratulations to both of you! We can't wait to see the adventures you will go on!

This could have been avoided!!!

Casper came into Sweet River Equine for an ophthalmic exam and a lameness exam. Dr Bennett found potential squamous cell carcinoma SCC (cancer) of the third eyelids in both eyes likely due to genetics/his color with exposure to the sun. The only definitive way to know it is SCC would be to remove the eyelids and test it. The lameness exam showed subluxation of both stifles, joint effusion of the right stifle and joint effusion of both hocks indicating a chronic lameness issue.
In layman's terms;
Presumed cancer in both of his eye lids based off of how it looks, presumed bad
arthritis since there is fluid in his joints, and his knee caps pop out of place when he walks and trots in both of his hind legs.

Lack of knowledge about light colored, blue eyed horses and their need for UV protection for their eyes led to this tragic ending. It is a lifelong commitment to ensure that they have the proper care.
Sadly, Casper had to be humanely euthanized.

Update from her trainer Dani Jiest

Arie is a 4 y/o that now has a few rides on her, she does not quite understand the go yet so I would suggest more ground work to get her go forward ques solid. She has not offered to buck, she is soft and light, her turns, and her stop is solid, her backup and go forward need some work. She has wonderful ground manners, easy to handle, groom, tack up and carries a snaffle nicely. She was good for the farrier and currently does not have shoes.

It looks like Arie will be a nice quiet ride with a little spice if you ask for it. She has not showed any spooky issues, is used to the dogs and ATV. Arie will need someone who is either a trainer, willing to send her to a trainer, or someone with experience and has a trainer to continue with her education. Arie has a solid foundation and with patience, will be an amazing partner to someone.

Remember Arie? Here's an update from Dani Jietz...

I put a first ride on her Sunday, she is very unsure with a rider, but did great. She is really good about direction, now we need to work on getting her to go. I'll work her more to motivate her in the round pen while I'm on her.
It looks like Arie will be a nice, quiet ride. She stands at 14.1-14.2 hands.
Arie is up-to-date on everything. Her adoption fee is 1500.

Joey is a 19 year old 15 HH qh gelding
He was ridden for a few minutes on Saturday, and we quickly realized he is actually really nicely broke, does not need spurs but is pretty slow in the arena. (We did do days of ground work to work on the attitude in the round pen.)

I took Joey out to Pardee on Sunday, I did not put boots on him as he has shoes, I should have put boots on him as he is very tender footed. I suggest either pads or boots over the shoes on a ride. I went out maybe a mile. I was with friends who continued on and I turned around due to his feet. The swelling on his hind legs goes down with movement. When I left the group, he didn't even look back. He did walk faster on his own, but never looked for the other horses.

He is great but slow when riding in the front, and if he's in the rear, he will keep up with the pace that the other horses set.

He does pin his ears at feeding, but if you tell him "back" he will back up until you put his feed in the feeder and wait until you say okay. He is an actual gentleman.

I would recommend an experienced owner for light rides and experience working with tender feet.
Joey's adoption fee is $1000.

This is Vanilla, a 30+ year-old mare. According to her owners, she was a PMU mare before they had her. Vanilla is crippled due to improper hoof care and other issues. Unfortunately, due to her age and her condition it was best humanly euthanize her. We want to thank Sweet River Equine Clinic for always being compassionate when this difficult decision is made. Rest in peace sweet lady. Pregnant Mares’ Urine (PMU) PMU is used to produce estrogen and hormone-replacement drugs such as Premarin, Prempro, and Premphase, and DUAVEE, a “Prempro Lite” which contains Premarin. PMU drugs are made by keeping mares constantly pregnant and collecting their estrogen-rich urine.

It was a thrill to have Brandi Lyons here at Oakdale Equine Rescue. We cannot thank her enough!

UPDATE ON ARIE... This lovely Andalusian filly spent her Kindergarten time at Durham Ferry Outdoor Education School and is now in training with Dani Jeitz! She is an absolute love bug who will become some fortunate persons pride and joy! Keep watching this page for updates on Arie. If you are interested in adopting her when she becomes available, please visit our website at www.oakdaleequinerescue.com to fill out an application and adoption agreement. We have included a picture of Arie in the comment section below.

Misty and Ruby are getting a great start with their training at Durham Ferry Outdoor Education School! Misty is the surviving twin born to Falcon seen in the video below wearing a tarp as she calmly walks with one of the student trainers. She is such a sweet filly! Ruby recovered well from her hernia surgery and has now been introduced to a saddle while lunging. You can watch both videos of Ruby in the comment section. Please keep watching this page for updates and availability for adoption!

This beautiful the Mustang came in from San Joaquin County Sheriffs Animal Control. He was loose on East liberty/Elliot in Galt. He is very lame and will be going to training for handling so we can get him into the vet. If you have any information on this, Horse, please contact Janine at 209-614-2338.

Angie is available for adoption! Angie is a 19 year old quarter horse mare who is proving to be a good partner under saddle! She is very sweet and mild mannered while riding her. She could use some reinforcement with her tying manners and ground manners but she minds well once she’s corrected. We think Angie would do best with at least an intermediate level rider as she does need correcting on the ground. She is up to date on dental, vaccinations, and worming and is ready for her new home. Angie’s adoption fee is $2000. Please visit the website to fill out an adoption application form.
