IScarlett:  This beautiful red roan 2-year-old came to DCFHR in September 2010, one of two skinny, neglected horses abandoned on property that was for sale.  She and the other horse had only tree bark, weeds, and leaves to eat; both horses had scrapes and cuts on their chests where they had leaned over and through the loose barbed wire fencing to nibble anything within reach.  Even on the first day DCFHR volunteers worked with Scarlett to get her on the trailer, she was cooperative, didn’t panic or fight, and wanted to do what was asked of her.  Since she’s been at Dancing Cloud Farm, our faithful volunteer Owen has worked with Scarlett, teaching her the basics of Good Horse Behavior, including picking up her feet for the farrier.  We have begun Scarlett’s ground training; she has been saddled and is being worked in a round pen and with driving reins.  This girl is going to be a sound, dependable, and safe riding horse.  Until the perfect home is found for Scarlett, she will live here at Dancing Cloud Farm. 

 Spice Girl:  This graceful, long-legged yearling filly came to DCFHR in November 2011.  “Spice” is poetry in motion and should be a ballerina of the horse world.   She will make someone a fine riding horse and if those long legs are any indication, she will be tall.  Spice has a gentle and cooperative spirit and is a quick learner.   She will be in our “Green Banana Bunch” until the perfect home is found for her.  Next spring, Spice is going to be bee-yoo-ti-ful when all of the dull, wormy hair sheds out and she can enjoy a pasture of green grass for the first time in her life.  Keep your eye on this horse!  She is going to be a gorgeous mare!    

 Rudy:  Talk about afterburners, this boy has them!  You should see him run!  Rudy, our youngest “Green Banana,” was foaled on February 14, 2011; for the first seven months of his life he lived in a squalid mud pen before he came to DCFHR.  (Rudy probably could be registered since both his dam and sire are registered quarter horses.)   Next summer, look for him to be a sleek (fast) black yearling as, for the first time in his life, he will get to enjoy a pasture full of fresh green grass.  We want to make sure that Rudy becomes the magnificent horse he was meant to be.  Rudy might have to have a different name – he reminds us of a muscle car – big engine, lots of speed.
