Meet Snow & Ice
Two of the biggest and most gentle horses we have ever met. Purchased and saved by Lynn Gay - they are a towering 19.2 hands of pure Percheron power. Said to be older carriage driving teams, they are now rehabbing at ESH. Soon they will be healthy and up to full weight, and then it will be determined what their second life will be. They were named Snow and Ice because of the long haul which required an overnight in Odessa TX both ways to Bowie Texas in between snow storms in early Jan 2025
They require a sponsor(s) $300 each, total $600

JoJo
JoJo started his racing career as a harness racer. His racing name is "Long Gone Joe", and he won a total of $63k at the track. He has some evidence of an injury that probably ended his racing career. He was sold, and all we know is he spent about 16 years with the Amish. He is now 21 and he is very nimble and quick on his feet, easy to handle and loves people. He is a driver and is learning how to be ridden. It has taken a year to rehabilitate him to a good weight, and we treat his arthritis with joint supplements. He is a cousin to Ronin. They both have the same grandfathers on both sire & dam. The great Abercrombie, whose lifetime winnings totaled $948,391, was inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1999

CA$H
CA$H is our first horse purchased under Equine Safe Haven. He was purchased from 3 donors (cash) from the kill pen. He was a heavy equipment driving horse with the Amish, and we found him in the Texas kill pen. He was part of a driving team, but unfortunately his partner didn't make it. We picked him up and brought him home to the Ranch. He is our mascot and he loves to give rides to kids and adults of all ages. He is fit and able to pull our carriages and we look forward to having him in our events in 2025. CA$H is a huge Belgian and he eats a lot! He is looking for a Sponsor!

Isabella
Dutch Harness Horse
Color: Black with 3 white stockings, and large blaze.
Amish bred and raised driving & riding horse.
"Izzy" is absolutely stunning to look at, and her trot is a dream. She is one of the newest horses saved from slaughter in October of 2023. She will get her teeth floated, and then start building up her muscles again, and hopefully will team up with Whiskey, the other Dutch Harness Horse we have. She will also be practicing for next years carriage show in AZ.

"Cappy" Cappuccino
Former X Harness Racer
Amish working horse
Color: Bay with one white sock on left rear
Birthday: May 14 1998
Cappy has a big personality, and is loving and gentle. He is a bit "night blind" but will follow his leader anywhere. He is not spooky and he thinks he is still in his teens. He is a driver. He is an easy keeper and gets along well with the other horses as long as they let him eat beside them. He would make a nice companion horse, or would be happy to have you all to himself.

Jenny is a super mom! She gave birth to little Louie on April 3, 2023. That happened to be Jennys' Humans' bday. Jenny has a human sponsor named Janet C, and they have a fantastic bond. It is amazing to see. Jenny has got to be the friendliest donkey ever. She is so sweet and we love her so much. Plus she is a good mommy. She has learned now to stand politely for Farrier, and has had multiple trims to correct her clubbed front hooves. She needs to be trimmed every 4 weeks to help her with her clubbed hooves.

Dinero
breed: Donkey
Dinero is a 2 year old donkey that was waiting to go to slaughter with the other 7 donkeys. We saved him, but he became very sick before he loaded onto the trailer. He was at the vet in Texas, in ICU for 3 weeks! He pulled through and now he is a healthy little guy, with so much love for kids and adults. He loves attention, scratches and of course kisses. Dinero will be needing a sponsor. He will be gelded this winter, along with 3 others and Louie. He would be great to train for the famous "donkey dashes" races in Tombstone AZ and Colorado

Sandy, mother of Dusty.
Color: Cream Palomino
Sandy was a brood mare and was rescued from the Texas kill pen. She was only days away from being shipped to slaughter. 3 days after she was pulled out of the kill pen she gave birth at the vets to Dusty. She is not trained or halter broke, so she will need a lot of training. She is beautiful and she needs a sponsor

This little guy was born on April 3, 2023 and is the Ranch favorite. He is the first baby born at the Ranch, and is fully cared for by Equine Safe Haven and a few generous Godparents. He gets treated like a Prince. He will need to be gelded in the winter of 2025. He is now 1 and a half years old. He inherited clubbed hooves like his mom, so he needs to be trimmed every 4 weeks.
