UPDATE on Pasquotank County horses: All horses involved in this case have found a safe place to land! While foster homes are not needed at this time, donations are, this is a huge undertaking for both the county and USERL. Donations for these horses are going through Pasquotank County. Please contact Admin Assistant Heather Carawan at 252-548-4590 to help. Thank you!!

Lazarus (Laz) was born into this world as Leestown Hero in 2008, a grandson of none other than Seattle Slew. He had 12 starts in his racing career with 2 wins and 1 second place, earning his owners just over $37,000 before being discarded by them when he
was no longer producing and his suspensory ligaments started to break down. Because of this, Laz can no longer be ridden, but would make a wonderful companion horse for someone!
Lazarus is an absolute sweetheart, although he is still learning what personal space is.
He will come, back, and step over on command. When you walk into his stall, he backs to let you inside. Laz walks on a lead rope well.
Because of his time as a race horse, he is a cribber. Many racers are so often kept in a stall for long periods of time, so they get bored and develop the behavior of cribbing and sucking air. We have tried a cribbing collar on him, but he still cribs. He cribs on his stall walls, window, and door. Outside when he is not eating grass or hay he often cribs on the wooden fence posts and metal gates.
Laz is a sweet horse and has a nice temperament. He is easy to handle. Laz stands good for the farrier, vet (shots), and grooming (including sheath cleaning).
We are feeding him ProElite Senior and adding Purina Outlast Gastric Support Horse supplement to his meals for his stomach because of his cribbing.
Do you have room in your heart and home to give this amazing horse the loving, forever home he so deserves?

Hemi is getting worried that he will never find his own pasture mates or human family as he is a companion horse only. Hemi has a super nice personality, gets along well with horses and people. Hemi would make a wonderful babysitter for the horse left behind when going to events or doing trail rides. His foster mom tells us he gets along with everyone as he is low on the totem pole. Please go to www.userl.org available for more information on Hemi.

Hemi is available for adoption through the US Equine Rescue League. For more information see http://www.userl.org/product-page/hemi
