BEHS 151- Delta
Adopted October 13, 2007
Approx 2000, Bay mare
Delta was seized by law enforcement and awarded to BEHS. She was underweight when she arrived, but now she is looking good. She does not appear to have been
abused, but she was certainly starved and neglected. She is very trusting of people and loves to be brushed. She can be approached and she will walk up to you and will halter easily. She gets along well with a mare who arrived with her and they will eat out of the same feeder. She has very bright eyes and always looks “surprised” She will follow you anywhere even if you don’t have food in your hand.

Geronimo was donated in 2005 when his owner could no longer keep him. He had not been handled much and was hard to catch and spooky in new situations. He was also blind in one eye and very hard to handle on his blind side. His foster "mom" spent much time working with him, and he learned to trust new people and new situations. She showed him in a BEHS fundraising horse show where he won Halter Champion! As she continued to work with him, Geronimo learned to accept a saddle and work in the round pen. His adopters plan to complete his training and ride him for fun.

Adopted September 3, 2007
Approximately 2002, Quarter Horse Mare
Kachina knows how to lead, load, halter and tie. She was stand-offish when she arrived, but she's now letting her "foster mom" approach her in the pasture. She stands for fly spraying, although she's nervous and she stands for the farrier. She's been ridden in a round pen at her foster home at a walk and trot. She is quiet under saddle, but she does not seem to know a lot. She needs a confident rider who can continue her training. Her foster mom says that while she bucks and rears when playing in the pasture, she's never done either when she works with her. She says Kachina is sweet and lets people hug her neck and pet her anywhere. She feels Kachina will make a wonderful horse for a lucky adopter.

Adopted February 18, 2007

Phoenix was BEHS' first horse. His owner could not keep him, and he was looking for a home. BEHS offered to take Phoenix in. Once he got here, we discovered that although he was very young (just four years old at the time), he had already been severely physically abused. He has lumps behind his ears and arthritis in his front legs from the abuse. It had also left him very leery of all new people. Phoenix's foster "mom" knew he might be with her for years - and nearly two years after he arrived, he finally found his "perfect home.

BEHS 122 - Sprite
Adopted February 26, 2007
2006, palomino, grade filly
Sprite was surrendered to BEHS when her owner was investigated for neglect.
When she arrived, she was very underweight and had such a severely infected sunburn on her legs that she had to undergo surgery to remove the infected skin. After surgery, Sprite was very uncertain of humans - and who can blame her! Luckily she came around and won the hearts of her foster "parents". They decided to make her a permanent addition to their home.

BEHS 093 - Tempest
Adopted February 14, 2007
1999, blue roan, Welsh Mountain Pony gelding.
Tempest's owner purchased a stallion and two mares and turned them out to roam
free. After several years, they had a herd of wild ponies which they couldn't care for. They asked BEHS to take them in, and when Tempest arrived he had never been handled by humans. His "foster mom" made an effort to gain his trust and decided to adopt him and give him a place to live out his life.

BEHS 75 - Tiffany
Adopted October 10, 2007
Approx 1995 Peruvian Paso mare
Tiffany was surrendered to BEHS when her owners were investigated for neglect. Not much was known of her history except that she was ridden on trails and had several foals in her past. This beautiful mare tries very hard to please and will certainly be the pride and joy of her happy adopter.

BEHS 57 - Topaz
Adopted September 30, 2007
2003, grade gelding
Topaz was purchased at auction by a BEHS member and donated to BEHS. He was led into the auction ring but froze in fear and practically no one was bidding on him. He literally was shaking with fright.
It was love at first sight when Topaz and his potential adopters met. Topaz's color was just absolutely stunning to them and Topaz seemed to really like them too, especially all those carrots. Topaz's foster home did a wonderful job getting Topaz socially friendly and now he has his very own home to call his own. Congratulations to you Topaz and the Sonnier family. We know his foster home is going to miss him, but then again she is so happy that he has at last found his very own place to call home.
Topaz would like to thank:

BEHS 123 - Tuffy
Adopted October 25, 2007
2006, grey grade filly
Tuffy was surrendered to BEHS when her owner was investigated for neglect. She
was a typical young unhandled filly when she first arrived. With the help of her foster home she has learned to trust her handlers, lead without crowding, pick up all four feet, and back up. She is easily caught. She is an affectionate filly and seems to be a quick study.

Whisper was surrendered to BEHS when her owner was investigated for neglect.
When she arrived, she was very underweight and had painful sunburns. When she recovered, she was a sweet filly who was easy to handle and loved attention. It did not take long for her foster family to fall in love with her and adopt her.
