UP FOR ADOPTION:

Meet Dance: A Gentle Saddlebred with a Heart of Gold 🐴
Dance is a 20-year-old Saddlebred who has blossomed in foster care through Sound Equine Options Rescue since July. This sweet and kind gelding is ready to find his perfect forever home where he can continue to thrive.

* Why Dance Will Steal Your Heart:�🌟 Incredible Temperament – Dance is loving, gentle, and absolutely adores being groomed and showered with affection.�🌟 Herd-Friendly – He gets along wonderfully with mares and geldings, thriving in either a gelding or mixed herd environment.�🌟 A Pleasure to Handle – Dance is easy to lead and enjoys going on walks, making him a delight to be around.�🌟 Perfect Pasture Companion – He’d be an ideal match for someone seeking a pasture pet or an in-hand partner.

* What Dance Needs to Thrive:�🌿 Light Riding Potential – While he could become a light riding horse, Dance will need dedicated time for muscle building and training to feel confident under saddle.�🌿 Open Spaces – Dance isn’t comfortable in tight spaces or hauling and would thrive in a 24/7 pasture or a stall with a window to the outside.

* Dance deserves the absolute best home, where his loving personality and gentle nature will be cherished. If you’re ready to welcome a truly special horse into your life, Dance is waiting for you!

* Contact Sound Equine Options to learn more about adopting Dance and giving him the life he deserves.

1 stall open from April 1st in small private barn in West Linn/Lake Oswego, Oregon!

This is at a small private barn with only 3 stalls in total.

The facts:
- 10 x12 stall with summer grass run, with new mats & nest camera
- Daily group turnout on grass - Herd turnout with 2 geldings
- FYI: vinyl fencing not electric.
- All year turn out (rain or shine) min 6 hours per day (usually up to 10-12 hours during summer!)
- Feed owners grain + supplements twice a day
- Feeding Timothy hay three times a day (option of Alfalfa if needed)
- We fly mask and fly spray as needed
- We change blankets up to 2 times per day
- We hold for our farrier, vet, body worker or chiro
- 60x110 GGT/sand arena
- 10 min warm up/cool down perimeter trail.
- Opportunity to use our dressage or jump trainer or bring your own trainer
- Caring owner on site, with plans for additional updates for the property on its way
- NO trailer parking available

It's a relatively small property with 5 acres

This is my home and not a commercial boarding facility, which means your horse gets the same love, attention, and individual care as mine but also means there's no bathroom, so you've gotta be a bit sporty.

The right fit horse and person is the most important, so if this peaks anyone's interest, let's chat. We're super low key, try to let horses be horses, and are looking for no drama boarders.

Full board:
$850

(Opportunity for reduced board in exchange for helping with chores

Horse Facts:

If a horse gets too stressed out they can colic and die

If a horse doesn't eat enough they can get stomach ulcers

If a horse eats too much they can founder or colic and die

If a horse gets stressed out and doesn't eat at the same time they will get ulcers, colic and die

If a horse doesn't drink enough...you guessed it, they can colic and die

If they have a drastic change in diet, environment or routine they can indeed colic and die

If you ride your entire life it absolutely does not mean that you are a good rider

If you ask 100 equestrians the same question you will get 106 different answers all of which which will be told with 100% confidence especially from those who bought their first horse last week

Horses can live outside 24/7 and they also can not live outside 24/7

Horses eat hay, grass, grain, expensive supplements, apples, carrots and 100 dollar bills

The pants you wear to shovel s**t, fix fences and ride in the dirt are more expensive then any other pants you will own

Horses are athletes. Athletes that trip on nothing, fall while playing, need stitches from cutting themselves on something that is not visible to the human eye, colic and die under stressful (competition type) situations, are scared of absolutely everything and don't like to be told what to do

Rank, fresh, hot, spicy, wild all mean the same thing and describe a horse on a beautiful spring day when all you want to do is go for a relaxing ride to unwind

Beginner safe, schoolie, husband type, anyone can ride, Grandma's mount, kid safe normally means, this horse is bat s**t crazy but I'm hoping you'll buy it sight unseen if I describe it as a kids horse and then ghost you when you tell me it killed your Grandma

If you are riding a horse and they see a rock that wasn't there yesterday you are possibly in for a wild ride as they avoid this horse eating rock at all costs. Including the cost of your life

If you see a horse on the road slow down.. actually just turn around and go the other way. For some unknown reason a horse often jumps infront of moving cars in order to avoid the scary moving cars

If your horse comes up lame, no problem you just need to rule out a couple of the most common things that it could be. These include ulcers, kissing spine, founder, EPM, HYPP, Lyme, influenza, cushings, sharp teeth, broken teeth, rotten tooth, tooth abscess, knee chips, hairline fractures from head to toe, cancer, pulled muscle, hoof abscess, weak stifle, lice, worms, conformational defect, headaches, sinus infection, bruised sole, ribs or spine out of alignment, poor fitting tack, laminitis, dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, anemia, infection and strangles.

And they have a frog in their foot

If you aren't the one paying the vet bills these horse facts might seem funny but they are in fact, 100% accurate. So if you get a horse please also get yourself a good therapist.
