Calico is available for adoption. She has completed two camping/intro-endurance ride trips. Ok, so she has a hay-belly, but she is working that off and it did not bother her at the rides in Reno, NV and the Cooley Ranch ride.

We ride Calico five times per week on trail and she likes that kind of riding. She is a sensitive horse who absolutely loves human attention.

Calico has the smoothest trot and canter! She is half TWH and half Arabian. We have been asked if she gaits, but have not seen her get into a gait.

Name: Calico
Gender: Mare
Breed: Arabian/TWH
​Age: 2013 (10 years old)
​Height: 14.3
​Color: paint
Rider Level: Intermediate

Lilly - Available for adoption for $350

Lilly is a sweet, beautiful gray Arabian mare about 14.1 hands and 14 years old. Lilly is a darling and a barn favorite, and would do even better with a person of her own, but she does have specific needs due to a sensitive personality and a difficult past. She has come a huge way from a neglected, abused, and terrified girl to the friendly beauty that she is today, but needs the right rider/handler to continue to bring out the best in her.

Lilly was started under saddle with us slowly and patiently, and she did very well with the whole process. She can ride saddled or ba****ck both in paddock and on trail, and has super light cues in her sidepull (we are working on getting her comfortable with a bit). Up until about last year, the rescue really only had one volunteer trainer on a regular basis, and due to her more complicated nature and limited time, working with Lilly was often paused to be able to prepare other horses for adoption. However, she is smart as a whip and every time we start up with her again, she retains everything and is exactly where she left off. In the past year we have had a couple more wonderful trainers/riders join the team, so we are looking forward to hopefully having the personnel to keep her moving forward more consistently.

When she is relaxed and at her best, Lilly is incredible, handling hikers, bikers, and dirt bikes with no fear and taking the lead with ease. However, when she does get worried, she is very much in flight mode and completely checked out. In those situations, she needs a person who is an experienced horseman/woman, understands she is acting out of fear and not misbehaving, and remains a calm and confident refuge for her to help her relax. Because of this, we suggest she needs a relatively advanced rider/handler with knowledge of relation based training for the time being. A very confident intermediate with good direction and resources might also be suitable depending on the circumstance. As she is a horse needing a very specific person, being approved for adoption does not necessarily mean you will be approved specifically for Lilly.

Lilly gets better and better, and will become more adept at self-regulation the more time she spends under saddle, but she will always be a horse who needs relationship first no matter what. Her person will need to earn her trust and build a relationship for her to be able to reach her potential. Feel free to reach out if you have more specific questions and our board members and/or trainer will be happy to chat about more details.

Her health overall is fantastic, but she does require a couple of specific management techniques due to mainly dust allergies. She does just fine with general riding as long as she is fed well baled square bales in nets and kept out of any heavily dusty enclosures. HNR has her allergy test information and full recommendations on management for any potential adopters.

Applications are not horse specific and remain valid for two years following approval.

If you are already an approved adopter with HNR and wish to be considered as a home for Lilly, be sure to either call, email, or message the page to officially let our board members know.

Available for Adoption!
Name: Mystery
Gender: Mare
Breed: Arabian
​Age: 9
​Height: 14.3
​Color: Bay
Rider Level: Intermediate

Mystery is a really nice mare with a "lot of hip", meaning that she almost looks like she could be half QH, but we think that she is a full Arabian, just with Polish breeding (which makes a horse more "thick"). She is great on trail and leads the group. She would make a great LD horse, with conditioning even an endurance horse. Mystery loves being out on trail and loves human attention.

As with all of our horses, Mystery is current on her immunizations, worming, teeth floating and farrier work.

Cimarron is 13 years old (14 in March) gelding. Good mind, smart, friendly and willing. Needs some practice with trimming on his back feet but otherwise is great to work with. He is halter broke but should be a quick study. About 14.2 hh (ish).

Sahar is still looking for a home! Sweet mare, halter broke. Takes a bit to connect but once she bonds she's fantastic and devoted. She would make an amazing trail partner!

She is such a pretty and sweet mare & available for adoption! 💖 NW IMARI PORCELAIN AHR*627564 💖 Arabian horses are so forgiving! She passed from horse trader to trader, where she was handled rough and starved. Not sure why some traders don’t feed the horses, wouldn’t you think they’d make more money if they fed them? And then she went through a low end auction locally. Lots of AZ horse traders come to sell at CA auctions.
