History and Temperament: The young gelding has a sickening and horrific story behind the bruises and scraps. About a month ago he was being sold and the people who bought him didn’t have a trailer so they led him out the passenger window. The poor horse didn’t have very good footing on the smooth pavement.

Color: Bay
Height: 16.2 HH
History and Temperament: This pretty little thing was found in left in a trailer. It was truckless on the side of the road. This mare had nothing to eat except a bale of hay and to drink a bucket of water. About four days went by, no one bothered to stop to check if anything was in the trailer. Finally an older gentleman and his daughter saw the horse and immediately stopped. They weren't too far away from their home so they hooked the trailer up to their truck and brought her home. She is very sweet, but a bit skittish. How she is under saddle is unknown, but she loves treats and to play in water.

History and Temperament: This older gelding believe it or not used to be a great dressage competitor. Around the age of ten this poor old boy was deemed lame. He was turned out to pasture for two years, came in for a groom every month for the first year and then was forgotten.

Name: Lunar Eclispe [Luna]
Breed: Tennessee Walking Horse
Age: Five
Gender: Mare
Color: Black
Height: 15.3 HH
History and Temperament: This beautiful mare looks like nothing is wrong with her, well guess what, you're are sadly mistaken. Her bones and coat are perfect, but as for her mind, that's a scary place. Not much is know about the TWH's past but rumor says that her and her dam were whipped and abused for several years. She is spooky and afraid of her own shadow. The mare is crazy under saddle and hates the presence of other horses. She kicks and rears at new humans, animals, and basically everything else.
Injuries: None
Caution Around: Everything!

Age: Fourteen
Gender: Molly [Mare]
Color: Bay
Height: 14.1 HH
History and Temperament: This mule is the sweetest thing in the world, she wouldn't harm a fly but as for her previous owners they were cruel and heartless. About seven months ago this mule was found inside a collapsed barn. She has severe burn marks, most of which were infected. The only thing that saved her was the strong support of her stall. Still this molly loves every and all things. She is a little touchy about the burn marks on her haunches though. As with any mule, she is very stubborn, but if she is working for or with the right person she will do almost anything.
Injuries: Burn Marks ,, Overgrown Hooves
Caution Around: Hindquarters.

TEN
Name: 10
Breed: Mustang
Age: Three
Gender: Mare
Color: Pinto
Height: 13.3 HH
History and Temperament: Although this horse ... well pony is very short she has a lot of pent up energy that has never really gotten used. The mare bucked and threw her rider, an eleven year old girl, and then was sent to the slaughter house. SGA saved her and now she is here. She used to be an amazing barrel racer, but that dream has seemingly faded into the clouds. The short mare is far from how her temper is. She loves little kids and all that, but is very skittish around huge crowds and other horses. She gets spooked easily and hates being in an arena with other horses. She doesn't like new people either. And believe it or not loud noises spook the crap out of this poor animal.
Injuries: None
Caution Around: Loud Noises ,, Quick Movements ,, New People
