Approx 1996 bay quarter horse mare
Ada had been adopted once and
returned. It wasn't long before someone else took and interest and
applied to adopt her. Ada went to her new home and got off to a bit
of rocky start, but they had fallen in love with her already - and so
had their other horse. Thanks to Lisa, her husband and family for
giving Ada a well deserved chance at being an awesome horse for you
all. Look forward to updates and pictures!!

2003, dark bay draft cross gelding
Aladdin came to BEHS along with several herdmates. He was so thin that
Denise worried he might not make it. But he began gaining weight and
thrived with good hair. The big horse appeared to be a draft cross - one
lacking much grace! But his big, clunky appearance didn't matter, his
foster mom fell in love with him. She sent Aladdin to training and plans to
turn him into her trail horse. Congrats to Aladdin and Kathy!

family. Congrats to the Williamson Family and Aleeah!

Amigo was another one that had been
adopted and returned. When he was returned he seemed a bit worried
about saddles and what they might do to him. His foster home worked
with him and he became accustomed to tack again. Misty met him and
bonded early on with this very sweet gelding and had to have him for
herself. While waiting for it to all go through, she went and saw him
several times, just getting more aquainted with him. Now, he is in is
forever home and doing well. Thanks to Misty for giving this guy
another chance!

Approx. 1988, Quarter Horse mare.
Biscuit came to BEHS from a neglect case. When a neglect investigator arrived on the scene, they originally thought Biscuit was dead – she was
laying flat on her side and not moving. Suddenly Biscuit raised her head and looked at the investigator, and the investigator knew she couldn’t
leave her. Biscuit was severely underweight and walking on badly overgrown hooves. Once Biscuit got to a foster home, we discovered that she
suffered from an old injury and was not ridable. Fortunately for Biscuit, she found an adopter who wanted a pet – and she agreed to spoil Biscuit
and give her a great home for life.

Braveheart was donated to BEHS when his owner could no longer keep him. She donated money to
send him to training, too, but Braveheart flunked out of training. He's a very strong-willed
horse who bucks and bolts under saddle. His foster "mom" tried working him past his issues,
but she had no success. She decided to adopt him and give him a place to live out his life
with love and great care.

2002 Quarter Horse mare
Charity came to the rescue from an awful neglect case over a year ago. Law
enforcement officers found her hung up in a tree and covered in open wounds.
They took her to a local veterinarian's office, but Charity was so
standoffish and scared, that she intimidated the veterinarians and their
staff. After moving into a BEHS foster home, Charity healed and learned to
trust humans. Her adopter met her and decided to give the little mare a
chance. She is working with a trainer, and she has plans to make Charity
into a great riding horse. Congrats Robin and Charity!

Chelsea's previous owner adopted her from BLM, was moving overseas, and donated her to BEHS. Chelsea was a favorite with everyone who met her while she was with us. Her new mom had this to sat about her: "I have renamed Chelsea to Montana. She is a dream come true for me. I waited for her for 27 years and know that we will enjoy many more together." We at BEHS wish Montana and her new mom many happy trails.

Cherokee was born at her Bluebonnet foster home on April 27 this year.
Her mom was part of a neglect case and came to the rescue pregnant. Of
course we didn't know when exactly she was due, and Kenna and her family
watched over her closely wondering when she would share her foal with all of
us. Cherokee arrived and quicly stole the Graves' family heart. They've
adopted her and made her a permanent part of the family.

Dottie is an adorable pony from the legendary Chincoteague herd. Her previous owner bought her after the famous Chincoteague swim when she was only four months old. They brought her home, gentled her and trained her. However they had too many horses and felt Dottie didn? get enough attention, so they donated her to BEHS. Dottie? an adorable pony who is broke to ride and laid back. She was adopted by a family as a riding pony in 2006 but was unfortunately returned. Dottie's new foster family fell in love with her and they have adopted her to be a riding pony for their grandchildren.

2001, grade mare
Faeden's previous owner rescued her out of a feedlot and had her shipped to Texas (to spare her
a trip to the slaughterhouse). She turned out to be a lot of horse to handle, so her owner placed
her with BEHS so she could become someone's riding her. She was adopted but returned when
she developed an eye problem and became blind in one eye and had limited vision in the other
eye. With Faeden's personality, this made riding her anymore unlikely. Her original donor adopted her back
in order to give her a place to comfortably live out her life.

Flicka was removed from negligent owners by law enforcement officials and awarded to BEHS by the courts. Flicka suffered from intermittent lameness problems and we knew a life as a riding horse was not in her future. One of our terrific foster homes agreed to keep her long term and decided she just needed to be a permanent part of the herd. She is currently enjoying life with another mare and a gelding and has room to roam or to stand quietly and enjoy the pretty scenery.

General is an older gelding - but no one has told him he's nearly 30! He
was picked up from a negligent owner and was near death when he arrived at
the rescue. His foster mom helped him gain weight. Once he was healthy,
she discovered he was a nice riding horse. Although some people are leery
of adopting a horse in his late 20s, General's adopter decided to take a
chance on him and we're sure she won't be disappointed. Congrats to General

Adopted by new members Bob L and Magdalena S. Bob and Madga met Tori at the Texarkana event and were smitten. They applied to adopt her and while their inspection was being done, we worked hard to find them a suitable pasturemate for Tori. We don't like to adopt out only horses, and especially a youngster like Tori. I know Bob and Magda must have thought we would never find one, then they saw Hannah. Given Hannah's background with youngsters, it seemed to be a perfect match - all the way around. Bob and Magda picked the girls up this weekend. Hannah and Tori are bonding with each other and their new family. Thank you Bob and Magda!

Jewel arrived at the rescue in March 2006 along with eleven other Welsh
Mountain Ponies. Her former owner had purchased a stallion and two mares
and turned them out on pasture where he let them breed and then let the
offspring inbreed for several years. He did not handle any of the horses,
so they were living as wild horses. When the owner could no longer care for
them, Bluebonnet took them into the rescue and set about taming them. Jewel
came around slowly and began the search for her forever home. She met him
at the 2008 Bluebonnet Horse Expo and went home a few days later. Congrats

A volunteer who helped his foster home fell in love with Ranger and decided to make him her own. 2010 update on Ranger: Ranger was one of our fosters. We spent a lot of time with him but getting his trust has taken a long time. I think he was tazed by some helpers
during his rescue. After we had him, he had a couple of hoof abscesses and was always low in the pecking order. We had him at the house for a while in
the pasture by himself by the garden taking care of his last abscess. I love TWH and always thought he was so beautiful. I would have loved to kept him but had to sing
the "foster" song. I would work in the garden as part of my "therapy" and just talk and talk to him as he hung his head over the fence watching me. Janice adopted him
even before his hoof healed and came to see him every day and feed him. So he has a Mom, Janice" and I guess I am his grandmother. Since he lives in one of our pastures, I
get to see him often. This is the first time I have had chance to spend some time with him standing tied. He is doing so good. Still a little hard to catch in a
group, but once caught he is a doll. Janice is convinced now that other people have ridden him that he is safe and is going to start riding him more.

Approx. 2004 Tennessee Walking Horse cross or Spotted Saddle Horse
Brian came to the Expo from the DFW
area, just to meet and put in an application for a horse to adopt. He
was looking at black and white paints - Apache, Koda and Sergeant.
They seemed to all be spoken for, but Sergeant's pending adopting
didn't go through. Due to Brian's patience, he went ahead and applied
and ended up with the horse he wanted. Thanks and congratulations to
Brian, his family and Sergeant!

1995 grey grade mare
Shalimar came to BEHS in February 2007 along with twenty-four other
neglected horses. They came from a horrific neglect case. Shalimar's back
legs were covered in scars, and a few weeks after she arrived she gave birth
to Peanut Butter Parfait. Thanks to the scarring on her legs, Shalimar was
not ridable. Luckily someone fell in love with her and adopted her as a
companion to an older gelding who needed a friend. Congrats to Shalimar,
Duar and Genevieve!

mule gelding
Skippy arrived in October 2006, part of a neglect case involving four
donkeys, seven mules and seven horses. Skippy's early handling hadn't been
kind, and he didn't trust humans. He spent time in several foster homes
before finding the right home. That home gained Skippy's trust and got him
going under saddle. In the process, they fell in love with him. Now Skippy
has a home for life!

Approx. 1995, draft horse mare
Sophy came to BEHS in 2006 along with herdmates. Before coming to the
rescue, Sophy's life wasn't easy. She had been a PMU mare. After that, she
moved to a farm where she was not cared for well and she was severely
underweight when she arrived. She also hadn't been handled much, and since
she's huge, she intimidated many people. She waited to find her perfect
home - but it was worth the wait. Her adopter is absolutely smitten with
Sophy. Congrats Sophy and Bud!

Thunder and his herd to his family. However the family did not care for them and let them starve.

2007 Grey grade filly
Adopted by new members Bob L and Magdalena S. Bob and Madga met Tori at the Texarkana event and were smitten. They applied to adopt her and while their inspection was being done, we worked hard to find them a suitable pasturemate for Tori. We don't like to adopt out only horses, and especially a youngster like Tori. I know Bob and Magda must have thought we would never find one, then they saw Hannah. Given Hannah's background with youngsters, it seemed to be a perfect match - all the way around. Bob and Magda picked the girls up this weekend. Hannah and Tori are bonding with each other and their new family. Thank you Bob and Magda!

2008 Sorrel grade colt
Tuska's dam came to BEHS along with several other horses. She and her
herdmates were left to run on pasture and breed. After they escaped their
pasture multiple times, resulting in the death of one herdmate, law
enforcement stepped in. The owners realized they could not provide for the
herd of horses and surrendered them to several rescues. Tuska's dam Nike
was a young mare who no one believed was pregnant - so imagine her foster
mom's surprise when she walked out one morning to find a newborn colt. She
fell in love with the little guy and decided she couldn't part with him.
Congrats Cathy and Tuska!

2005 or 2006 Grey grade gelding
Whiskey came into BEHS in early June. Pearland Animal Control seized him and Jubilee in a neglect case. They asked us to take them to finish Jubilee's rehabilitation and find them forever homes. When they arrived, Whiskey was a bit standoffish and always went around with his ears back. He didn't like to be caught, either, and I wondered what I got myself into!
But after a few days, he learned that being caught meant he got dinner, and
he decided he liked being caught just fine! He also started hanging over
the fence and his stall panels to watch me and begin nickering for his
dinner. I learned that he was a laid back horse - nothing bothered him. I
could tie him, groom him, fly spray him, bath him and he stood for it. He
didn't mind being saddled or bridled, either. I did find his one bad habit - he is incredibly barn sour. So barn sour that he runs for the barn under saddle and I couldn't stop him. I feared that would make him unadoptable. BUT ... Whiskey fond his adopter today. :) I spoke to Adoree on the phone several times and met her at the Adopt-a-thon. She was so excited that I couldn't help but be excited, too. She met Whiskey today and she and her husband both looked him over and decided he would work well. She won his love - with an apple. :) He loaded well and they headed on their way. She's going to work with him under saddle, fix his bolting problem, and then they're going to be trail riding pals!
I'll miss Whiskey - he's a neat horse - but I am so glad to see him get just
what he deserves: someone to love him!
