Celtic is a senior Warmblood gelding suitable for light riding
He is 17hh.
This boy is a retired eventer who has worked as a lesson horse for years before coming to HOP underweight.
He has had a set back with some respiratory issues and has mild heaves which are controlled by access to full turn out.
He is a slow, gentle and steady boy.
He will be adoptable soon. He has gained quite a bit, but he needs a little more before we evaluate him further.
Calli is a lovely 14.2hh Buckskin mare who is adoptable now.
She was a cruelty case who came to HOP with her two fillies on her side, one 6 months old, one coming two years old in 2014.
She is about 11 years old and a gentle soul.
She needs a rider who is skilled in helping a horse gain confidence undersaddle, as she will shut down if ridden without a very gentle but consistent hand.
Her fee is $400
Friday is already looking better after his intake.
He is a neglect case from Lincoln county, WV.
His color is deeper and he has gained according to what would be expected of a body score one senior horse in such a short time.
He enjoys short walks with HOP volunteers and is cheerful and well mannered.
He is 15.3-16hh QH type gelding of about 20 years old.

Somehow, this didn’t get posted after it was taken back in October. Nevertheless, here is Jake Fiddy, Ruby, Lucky and Raven enjoying some hay while our pasture fences were being re-done. Lately, they’ve been spending virtually all day in the pastures enjoying the unusually warm weather.
We’ve had to purchase another outdoor hay feeder, as Ruby (who is much bigger than she looks here) has a habit of standing sideways.
Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue, INC has some amazing hardworking volunteers. But just because some give so much month after month does not mean they have a lot to give financially.
With that said, if anyone out there would like to sponsor a ticket for one of our volunteers to HOP’s end of the year Christmas ball, to help give back to those who give so much, please email us at equinerescue@live.com
Additionally, to sponsor a whole table of 10 is $500, including your business or personal announcement through the event, if desired!
Folks ask us all of the time about the feeds we recommend and the feeding and supplement program we use.
This isn’t a one size fits all approach, by a long shot.
There are about 5 different feeding options we use based on the needs of the individual horse, and even that has minor tailoring, to suit.
That said, the foundations of most all horses that come into the rescue is built on heavy access to a nice grass hay and a loose mineral. These two go hand in hand. From the moment horses come in, grass hay and loose mineral serve as the staples. Alfalfa isn’t available readily in our location.
We gradually start grain feeding, and what grain that will be various. We use Purina, Nutrena and Tribute, as a rule. Our very easy keepers who are rehabbed and on free choice pasture will get a 12% textured to just encourage them to come up off 50 acres to get the once over, grooming, farrier day, etc.
The three feeds we use most often are:
*Tribute Kalm ‘N EZ
*Purina Ultium (the absolute best feed we’ve found for the hard keeper and for condition)
*Nutrena Perform
You may or may not find these work for you. Many of our seniors do very well on Kalm and Ez. If they have serious dental issues, soak alfalfa cubes or pellets (I like cubes for the extra roughage)
Probiotics, UGuard Pellets and Aloe Vera are the only extras we use as a general rule.
Look what happened today!!
