Back in the day, when America was being discovered, where ever you found a man's footprint, there was a hoofprint beside it. Horses have been with us since the beginning. Help us save them.
When you sponsor any of our horses, you will receive a monthly email with updated info about your horse, along with a new photo. Your name will be posted at our barn in recognition of your gift to your horse.
 Chip and Dale were the last horses in the #10 pen at Camelot in April of 2011. They appeared to be unhandled, and were bonded to each other. When we realized there was no outside interest in them, we stepped up to pull them, and sent them to QT, where they arrived very ill, due to an influenza virus and secondary bacterial infection. After an extended stay in QT, we finally welcomed them home. Chip's & Dale's progress has been steady, as they've slowly gained trust. They are more outgoing, enjoy being groomed, and now stand for our fantastic farrier. Chip & Dale are currently in rehab. They have broken their tight bond. Chip tends to prefer Roper's company now. We don't see them in an adoption situation, due to their inability to trust, and accept change. Time will tell, however, as we continue to work with them. Dale is a Quarter horse type gelding, probably in his teens. He tends to be on the roundish side, and stands about 15hh. He is patient, and kind, never in a rush. He "begs" for his grain, as he holds his leg curled under him, until his grain bucket arrives. He's at the bottom of the herd hierarchy, which endears him to many of our volunteers. Dale has chronic lyme disease, which manifests itself without notice. He will require further treatment. Please consider sponsoring Dale, so we can keep his illness from interfering with his day to day activities. |

We don't see them in an adoption situation, due to their inability to trust, and accept change. Time will tell, however, as we continue to work with them. Chip is a TB(?)type gelding, probably in his teens. He tends to be on the slim side, long legged, and stands about 15.2 hh. He is very insecure, which becomes more pronounced when he's removed from the herd. He has fallen in love with treats, so he will be one of the first to approach the gate, in hopes of a hand out. He is relaxed enough to enjoy being brushed, so much so, that he has been falling asleep during the process.  |
 Rumba is a�2 1/2 year old mini gelding who �came�into Liberty's care in February of 2010 through an owner relinquishment. Prior to that, he had two respiratory illnesses when he was just 3-4 months old. His owner was unable to put weight on him after those illnesses, and he looked quite sickly.� He was covered in a thick, curly coat of hair, but his spine and hip bones could be seen protruding through his skin and coat. It took a while, but Rumba filled out quite well. There have been no side effects from his prior condition.  Rumba�developed Equine Papilloma Virus shortly after his arrival. It is a virus that caused Rumba to have growths on his lips and chin. The virus needed to run it's course of about 60 days. During that time, Rumba looked as if he had barnacles over his muzzle, so he earned the nickname, "Barney", which has seemed to stick. Rumba is currently being taught a few "tricks", although he seems to have no problem thinking of some on his own. He can unzip a jacket in no time, and has become quite an escape artist. We hope to start in training him to drive, so if you have any experience in that field, we would love to hear from you! Rumba was gelded in March of 2011. There are a number of Rumba supporters we would like to thank: Sharon M., Lisa H., Sharon W., and Laura K. for their donations toward Rumba's gelding. Thank you, Jocelyn S., for Rumba's baby blanket that kept him warm for the months after his arrival.
